perf kvm: Fix building perf kvm on non x86 arches

2012-11-23T23:40:17+00:00

Now, 'perf kvm stat' is only supported on x86, let its code depend on
(__x86_64__ || __i386__) to fix building it on other architectures.

perf kvm: Rename perf_kvm to perf_kvm_stat

2012-11-23T22:44:05+00:00

Then let it only be used in 'perf kvm stat'.

Preparatory patch to stop trying to build parts of this tool that for
now are only supported on x86.

perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied

2012-11-19T22:21:03+00:00

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use  and  instead.

Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct.  Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86.  I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.

I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile.  Can this
be changed to use -MD?

Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits.  We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

perf powerpc: Use uapi/unistd.h to fix build error

perf evsel: Introduce is_group_member method

2012-11-14T19:53:45+00:00

To clarify what is being tested, instead of assuming that evsel->leader
== NULL means either an 'isolated' evsel or a 'group leader'.
