      perf tools: Let python use correct gcc for build_ext · 48d8d5db
      He Kuang authored 
      Currently, python uses host gcc instead of cross-compile gcc in the last
step of compiling build_ext(remove '--quiet' to show verbose):

  cross-gcc ...
  cross-gcc ...
  creating ~/out/python_ext_build/lib
  gcc -pthread -shared -Wl,-z ...

This is wrong but may not cause any errors unless the features detected
by cross-compiler do not match those for host compiler, and causes the
following errors:

  /usr/lib64/gcc/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind-x86
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
  cp: cannot stat ‘~/out/python_ext_build/lib/perf.so’: No such file or directory

  make[1]: *** [~/out/python/perf.so] Error 1
  Makefile:68: recipe for target 'all' failed
  make: *** [all] Error 2

This issue is also reported and anwsered on stackoverflow.

      perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl · 1b700c99
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that
imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit
to get those new syscalls on its tables.

To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those
tables.

Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:

  # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
  Error:	Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd
  Hint:	try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
  Hint:	and: 'man syscalls'
  #

With this patch:

  # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd

      perf test: Add libbpf relocation checker · 7b6982ce
      Wang Nan authored 
      There's a bug in LLVM that it can generate unneeded relocation
information. See [1] and [2]. Libbpf should check the target section of
a relocation symbol.

This patch adds a testcase which references a global variable (BPF
doesn't support global variables). Before fixing libbpf, the new test
case can be loaded into kernel, the global variable acts like the first
map. It is incorrect.

Result:

  # ~/perf test BPF

      perf build: Fix traceevent plugins build race · 67befc65
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Ingo reported following build failure:

  $ make clean install
  ...
    CC       plugin_kmem.o
  fixdep: error opening depfile: ./.plugin_hrtimer.o.d: No such file or directory

  make[1]: *** [libtraceevent_plugins] Error 2
  make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Currently we have the install-traceevent-plugins target being dependent
on $(LIBTRACEEVENT), which will actualy not build any plugin. So the
install-traceevent-plugins target itself will try to build plugins,
but..

Plugins built is also triggered by perf build itself via
libtraceevent_plugins target.

This might cause a race having one make thread removing temp files from
another and result in above error. Fixing this by having proper plugins
build dependency before installing plugins.

      perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf · ed63f34c
      Wang Nan authored 
      By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build
libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.

The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.

MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.

Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.

The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.

Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.

tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

Then, on a quiet desktop, try running this and then moving your mouse to

  # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +
raw_syscalls:sys_exit(open) sequence...

Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
in 'strace' and send it our way :-)

      perf tools: Really allow to specify custom CC, AR or LD · 3c71ba3f
      Alexey Brodkin authored 
      Commit 5ef7bbb0 ("perf tools: Allow to specify custom linker
command") was meant to enable usage non $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld linker during
perf building.

But implementation didn't take into account the fact that LD is a
pre-defined variable in GNU Make. I.e. it is always defined.

Which means there's no point to check "LD ?= ..." because it will never
succeed.

And so LD will be either that explicitly passed to make like this:

 ------->8-------
 make LD=path_to_my_ld ...
 ------->8-------
 or default value, which is host's "ld".

Latter leads to failure of cross-linkage because instead of cross linker
"$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld" host's "ld" is used.

Fortunately there's a way to do correct substitution of $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld
with user defined LD on command-line.

As a reference was used implementation in "tools/lib/traceevent/Makefile".

Build tested for x86_64 and ARC.

Thanks Jiri for this hint.

      tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins · e3d09ec8
      He Kuang authored 
      Traceevent plugins need dynamic symbols exported from libtraceevent.a,
otherwise a dlopen error will occur during plugins loading.

This patch uses dynamic-list-file to export dynamic symbols which will
be used in plugins to perf executable.

The problem is covered up if feature-libpython is enabled, because
PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS contains '-Xlinker --export-dynamic' which adds all
symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So we should reproduce the problem
by setting NO_LIBPYTHON=1.

Before this patch:
