perf tools: Fix building error in x86_64 when dwarf unwind is on

2015-01-16T20:49:28+00:00

When build with 'make ARCH=x86' and dwarf unwind is on, there is a
compiling error:

   CC       /home/wn/perf/arch/x86/util/unwind-libdw.o
   CC       /home/wn/perf/arch/x86/tests/regs_load.o
 arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S: Assembler messages:
 arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S:65: Error: operand type mismatch for `push'
 arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S:72: Error: operand type mismatch for `pop'
 make[1]: *** [/home/wn/perf/arch/x86/tests/regs_load.o] Error 1
 make[1]: INTERNAL: Exiting with 25 jobserver tokens available; should be 24!
 make: *** [all] Error 2
 ...

Which is caused by incorrectly undefine macro HAVE_ARCH_X86_64_SUPPORT.
'config/Makefile.arch' tests __x86_64__ only when 'ARCH=x86_64'.
However, when building x86_64 kernel, ARCH=x86 is valid and commonly
used. Build systems, such as yocto, uses x86_64 compiler with 'ARCH=x86'
to build x86_64 perf, which causes mismatching.

As __LP64__ is defined for x86_64 as well, we can consolidate the
__x86_64__ check to the __LP64__ check and get rid of the IS_X86_64
IMHO.

(This patch is made by Namhyung Kim when replying my v1 patch:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/7/17

I modified the code to remove dependency on RAW_ARCH:

mine only for my modification.)

perf tools: Clean up libelf feature support code

2014-11-19T15:33:46+00:00

Current EXTLIBS contains -lelf by default and removes it when libelf is
not detected.

This is little bit confusing since we can now build perf without libelf
so there's no need to handle it differently than other libraries.

perf tools: Do not attempt to run perf-read-vdso32 if it wasn't built

2014-10-29T12:32:48+00:00

popen() causes an error message to print if perf-read-vdso32 does not
run.  Avoid that by not trying to run it if it was not built.  Ditto
perf-read-vdsox32.

perf tools: Build programs to copy 32-bit compatibility

2014-10-29T12:32:48+00:00

perf tools copy VDSO out of memory.  However, on 64-bit machines there
may be 32-bit compatibility VDOs also.  To copy those requires separate
32-bit executables.

This patch adds to the build additional programs perf-read-vdso32 and
perf-read-vdsox32 for 32-bit and x32 respectively.

perf tools: Allow to specify lib compile variable for spec usage

2014-09-17T20:08:08+00:00

We need a way to specify $(lib) part of the installation path for
traceevent plugin libraries. Currently we use 'lib64' for x86_64 and
'lib' otherwise.

Instead of listing all possible values, this change allows the rpm spec
code to specify the correct $(lib) part based on processed architecture,
like

  $ make ... lib=%{_lib}

perf tools: Default to python version 2

2014-08-12T15:03:08+00:00

According to PEP 394 recommendation [1], it's more portable to use
python2 rather than plain python to refer python binary version 2.

Since there're distros using python3 by default like Arch, and we don't
support python3 (yet), it'd be better using python2 explicitly.

But older versions (prior to 2.7) seem not to provide python2 but just
python.  Given that it's only old version, try python2 first and then
fallback to python.  It'll ensure that it always points to python 2.x.

I tested (compiles and perf script runs) with the combinations:

1) python  -> python2.x, python-config  -> python2.x-config
   python2 N/A,          python2-config N/A

2) python  -> python3.x, python-config  -> python3.x-config
   python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config

3) python  -> python2.x, python-config  -> python2.x-config
   python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config

4) python  -> python2.x, python-config  -> python2.x-config
   python2 -> python2.x, python2-config N/A

Based on / replaces the patch 2/2 by Namhyung Kim.

perf tools: Fix make PYTHON override

2014-08-12T15:03:04+00:00

Thomas reported that make PYTHON=python2 is not work on some systems.  I
can reproduce it on my ArchLinux box too.

This is because it's overridden by config/feature-checks/Makefile
regardless of PYTHON setting.  I guess it's a bug slipped into during
the feature checking change.

Actually, we don't need to check python-config in the feature-checks.
We can just pass appropriate FEATURE_CHECK_*FLAGS.
