perf tools: Makefile: Use gcc to determine ARCH

2011-05-07T09:40:59+00:00

The original Makefile uses "uname -m" to determine ARCH.
This causes problem on x86 when compile perf tool on 32 bit
userspace with a 64 bit kernel.

 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:28: Error: bad register name `%rdi'

This is because "uname -m" returns x86_64 and memcpy_64.S is
included in 32 bit build.

perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibility

2011-04-19T11:18:36+00:00

Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:

  python{,-config}

The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.

However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:

  python2{,-config}

Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.

This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.

In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

Thanks to:

  Raghavendra D Prabhu 

for motivating this patch.

perf tools: Makefile: Clean up `python/perf.so' rule

2011-04-19T11:18:36+00:00

There is no need for a subshell or an explicit `export';
as per the POSIX Shell Command Language specification:

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_01
  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_10_02

It is only necessary to include the environment variable
assignment just before the command to be run.

Also, it is better to use single-quotes, because GNU make
might expand `$(BASIC_CFLAGS)' into something that the shell
could interpret within double-quotes.

perf tools: Fix NO_NEWT=1 python build error

2011-03-29T19:46:57+00:00

Fix the following build error:

     GEN python/perf.so
 In file included from util/evsel.h:10,
                  from util/python.c:6:
 util/hist.h:106:18: error: newt.h: No such file or directory
 error: command 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
 make: *** [python/perf.so] Error 1

by passing BASIC_CFLAGS to setup.py. BASIC_CFLAGS variable contains
the -DNO_NEWT_SUPPORT switch which prevents building python c
extension with newt.

perf tools: Makefile: Remove various and sundry cruft

2011-02-18T09:43:06+00:00

This commit squashes several commits that remove:

 unnecessary uname calls
 `sh -c'
 BUILT_INS and QUIET_BUILT_IN

    They have no effect, and the `fixup-builtins' and `check-builtins.sh'
    scripts don't even exist.

 RUNTIME_PREFIX

    It's currently never anything but unset, and it's apparently
    only meaningful when Microsoft Windows is the operating system
    (according to the source for git).

 TEST_PROGRAMS
 EXTRA_PROGRAMS
 unused SHELL_PATH_SQ portions
 unused test for V=2
 useless exports

    Only when `V' is undefined (that is, only when the value of `V'
    is empty) is `export V' performed, which just has the effect of
    placing the empty-valued variable `V' in the environment.

    The only other script to make use of `V' is `Documentation/Makefile',
    which only checks whether `V' is undefined (that is, whether the value
    of `V' is empty); hence, the `export V' has no effect whatsoever.

    Similarly, `export QUIET_GEN' is useless because it will only have
    a non-empty value when `V' has an empty-value, and when `V' has
    an empty-value, `QUIET_GEN' is always explicitly set in every
    script in which it is used.

    `DESTDIR' is only ever defined by the user via the environment
    or the command line, both of which are automatically exported
    to sub-make processes. Furthermore, no non-make sub-scripts
    make use of `DESTDIR' as an environment variable.

    No other scripts use `perfexec_instdir'.

 unused QUIET_SUBDIR{0,1}
 TAR and RPMBUILD
 PTHREAD_LIBS
 Maintainer's dist rules and commands
 distclean target
 Test suite coverage testing
 PRINT_DIR and NO_SUBDIR
 `configure' target
 NO_CURL
 @@PERF_VERSION@@ substitution

    Without the sed command, all of the rule's commands can be reduced
    to a single line that copies a file and sets the permissions properly
    in the process.

 `make test' echo line
 template_instdir
 PERF-BUILD-OPTIONS
 double-colon rules

    The use of double-colon rules seems misguided or vestigial git.

 Essentially hard-coded $(SCRIPTS) expansion
