tools/perf/build: Fix feature-libunwind-debug-frame handling

2013-11-14T17:00:45+00:00

Set feature-libunwind-debug-frame. We don't want it in
CORE_FEATURE_TESTS because it's not the generic case, but we
need to set it in the !feature-libunwind case.

Also, because x86 distributions typically don't have
dwarf_find_debug_frame() unwinding method:

  test-libunwind-debug-frame.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `_Ux86_64_dwarf_find_debug_frame'

Restrict this new API to ARM for the time being.

With this patch test-all.c works again, so repeat perf builds
are  fast again:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]

       0,452899660 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,11% )

While with before it was:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]

       1,674001829 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,16% )

[ Includes fix to config/feature-checks/Makefile from Will Deacon. ]

tools/perf/build: Fix timerfd feature check

2013-11-14T12:36:00+00:00

'feature_timerfd' is checked all the time and calculated explicitly,
in a serial fashion. Add it to CORE_FEATURE_TESTS which causes it to
be built in parallel, using the newfangled parallel build autodetection
code.

This shaves 137 msecs off the perf build time on my system, which
speeds up the common case cached build by 43%:

Before:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]
         0,453771441 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,09% )

After:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]
         0,316290185 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,24% )

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm

2013-11-13T23:51:29+00:00

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:

1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.

There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.

The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.

Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"

I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

tools/perf/build: Fix detection of non-core features

2013-11-05T13:08:03+00:00

feature_check needs to be invoked through call, and LDFLAGS may not be
set so quotes are needed.

Thanks to Jiri for spotting the quotes around LDFLAGS; that one was
driving me nuts with the upcoming timerfd feature detection.

tools was building without optimization.  Fix by assigning DEBUG if it
