perf tools: Remove dependency on libnewt

2013-04-01T15:23:21+00:00

Now that the map browser shares the input routine with the hists
browser, there is no need for using any libnewt routine, so remove all
traces except for honouring NO_NEWT=1 on the makefile command line as an
indication that TUI support is not needed, in fact it just sets
NO_SLANG=1.

perf tools: Make numa benchmark optional

Commit "perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem'..." added a NUMA performance
benchmark to perf. Make this optional and test for required
dependencies.

perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue

2013-01-24T19:40:17+00:00

According to Documentation/Changes, the kernel should be buildable with
GNU make 3.80+. tools/perf/config/utilities.mak contains the "$(or"
construct, which requires make 3.81.  This causes "make" to fail on
systems with GNU make 3.80.

Replace "$(or" with an equivalent "$(if" expression, to restore backward
compatibility. Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing the name of
the variable that can be used to fix the problem.

perf tools: Always show CHK message when doing try-cc

2012-10-26T13:22:24+00:00

It might be useful to see what's happening behind us rather than just
waiting few seconds during the config checking.

Also align the CHK message with other ones.

perf tools: Remove noise in python version feature test

2012-10-24T16:20:10+00:00

Now that the feature tests honours the V=1 make verbosity switch, add a
return to the main() routine in the python version test, to avoid this
distraction:

perf tools: Diplays more output on features check for make V=1

2012-10-24T16:20:10+00:00

Adding more verbose output for compile time features checking, to ease
up debuging of feature detection failures.

perf tools: Update Makefile for Android

2012-10-08T20:42:16+00:00

For cross-compiling on Android, some specific changes are needed in
the Makefile.

Update the Makefile to support cross-compiling for Android.
The original ideea for this was send by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316, but this is a rewrite.

Changes:
() support bionic in addition to glibc
() remove rt and pthread libraries that do not exist in Android
() use $(CFLAGS) when detecting initial compiler flags. This is needed
when setting CFLAGS as an argument of make (e.g. for setting --sysroot).
() include perf's local directory when building for Android to be able to find
relative paths if using --sysroot (e.g.: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h)

perf tools: Add on_exit implementation

2012-10-08T20:38:25+00:00

on_exit() is only available in new versions of glibc.
It is not implemented in Bionic and will lead to linking errors when
compiling for Android.

Implement a wrapper for on_exit using atexit.

The implementation for on_exit is the one sent by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316. The configuration part from the Makefile
is different than the one from the original patch.

perf tools: Check libaudit availability for perf-trace builtin

2012-09-27T13:56:40+00:00

The newly added trace command requires an external audit library.

However it can cause a build error because it's not checked whether the
libaudit is installed on system:

    CC builtin-trace.o
  builtin-trace.c:7:22: fatal error: libaudit.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  make: *** [builtin-trace.o] Error 1

perf tools: add NO_BACKTRACE for application self-debugging

2012-09-08T01:12:30+00:00

perf has support for self-debugging by defining dump_stack function.
This function uses backtrace and backtrace_symbols functions defined as
GNU extensions.

In Android, bionic does not offer support for these functions and
compilation will fail with the following error:

target  C: libperf <= tools/perf/util/util.c
tools/perf/util/util.c:4:22: fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Add a compile-time option (NO_BACKTRACE) to enable or disable
self-debugging functionality in perf. This can also help in debugging
since it offers the possibility to turn on/off printing the backtrace.
