tools build: Add test for presence of __get_cpuid() gcc builtin

2015-09-17T16:14:35Z

The auxtrace code needed by Intel PT uses the __get_cpuid() gcc builtin, that is not present in old systems, breaking the build. Add a test to check for that builtin and disable AUXTRACE in those systems. [acme@rhel5 linux]$ make NO_LIBPERL=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf' BUILD: Doing 'make -j2' parallel build Auto-detecting system features: ... lzma: [ on ] ... get_cpuid: [ OFF ] config/Makefile:630: Your gcc lacks the __get_cpuid() builtin, disables support for auxtrace/Intel PT, please install a newer gcc MKDIR /tmp/build/perf/util/ This fixes the build on old systems such as RHEL/CentOS 5.11.

tools build: Add test for presence of numa_num_possible_cpus() in libnuma

2015-09-17T16:14:35Z

The existing numa test checks only if numa.h and numa_available() are present, but that can be satisfied with an old libnuma that is not enough for the 'perf bench numa' entry, so add a test to check for that: [acme@rhel5 linux]$ make NO_AUXTRACE=1 NO_LIBPERL=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf' BUILD: Doing 'make -j2' parallel build Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... libnuma: [ on ] ... numa_num_possible_cpus: [ OFF ] ... libperl: [ on ] config/Makefile:577: Old numa library found, disables 'perf bench numa mem' benchmark, please install numactl-devel/libnuma-devel/libnuma-dev >= 2.0.8 INSTALL binaries This fixes the build on old systems such as RHEL/CentOS 5.11.

tools build: Allow duplicate objects in the object list

2015-08-26T13:34:58Z

It's sometimes useful to specify the object affiliation to multiple config options like: libperf-$(CONFIG_X86) += tsc.o libperf-$(CONFIG_AUXTRACE) += tsc.o while the object itself is linked only once. Adding the support for this and ignoring duplicate objects in the object list.

perf tools: Add Intel PT instruction decoder

2015-08-17T14:11:36Z

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this. This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT decoder.

perf tools: Support static linking with libdw

2015-08-13T17:49:11Z

The Fedora 22 version of libdw requires a couple of extra libraries to link. With a dynamic link the dependencies are pulled in automatically, but this doesn't work for static linking. Add the needed libraries explicitely to the feature probe and the Makefile. v2: Explicitly check for static linking and only add the dependencies when -static is set. This is to avoid regressions on Arnaldo's system.

bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check

2015-08-07T13:16:56Z

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates 'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories. Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent. Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found, the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure 'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found. Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr' (bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature, which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel. To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced 'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added into libbpf's specific.

perf tools: Fix build breakage if prefix= is specified

2015-06-19T19:39:42Z

Invoking Makefile.perf with prefix= breaks the build since Makefile.perf hands that variable down to Makefile.build where it overrides prefix := $(subst ./,,$(OUTPUT)$(dir)/) leading to errors like this: No rule to make target '/usrabspath.o', needed by '/usrlibperf-in.o' Signed-off-by: Lukas Wunner Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: David Ahern Fixes: c819e2cf2eb6f65d3208d195d7a0edef6108d5 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5582c48a.84a22b0a.a918.5285SMTPIN_ADDED_MISSING@mx.google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
