perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again

2014-04-30T15:02:30+00:00

arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack
requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable
stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll
needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the
appropriate linker note.

Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as
suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if
we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files.
Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when
(statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack.
But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an
indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.

perf tools: Fix bfd dependency libraries detection

2014-04-30T14:48:50+00:00

There's false assumption in the library detection code
assuming -liberty and -lz are always present once bfd
is detected. The fails on Ubuntu (14.04) as reported
by Ingo.

Forcing the bdf dependency libraries detection any
time bfd library is detected.

perf tools: Disable libdw unwind for all but x86 arch

2014-04-23T11:19:18+00:00

So far there's only x86 libdw unwind support merged in perf.
Disable it on all other architectures in case libdw unwind
support is detected in system.

perf tools: Pick up libdw without explicit LIBDW_DIR

2014-04-14T10:55:17+00:00

The Makefile logic sets FEATURE_CHECKS_CFLAGS-libdw-dwarf-unwind and
FEATURE_CHECKS_LDFLAGS-libdw-dwarf-unwind only if LIBDW_DIR is
defined. This means that under a normal setup,

  $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1

won't automatically pick up libdw. Fix this.
