tools: Make list.h self-sufficient

2016-01-12T15:42:07Z

Commit 7f5f873c6a07 ("rculist: Use WRITE_ONCE() when deleting from reader-visible list") added the use of the WRITE_ONCE macro to the kernel version of list.h, which broke the stacktool build because the tools list.h includes the kernel list.h. Avoid this type of situation in the future and make list.h self-sufficient by copying the kernel list.h routines directly into tools list.h. This is a straight copy except for adjustments to the include statements and copying of the tools-specific list routines (list_del_range and list_for_each_from). Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: "H.

perf tools: Move strlcpy() from perf to tools/lib/string.c

2015-12-16T19:09:39Z

strlcpy() will be needed by the subcmd library. Move it to the shared tools/lib/string.c file which can be used by other tools.

tools: Clone the kernel's strtobool function

2015-11-18T20:51:02Z

Copying it to tools/lib/string.c, the counterpart to the kernel's lib/string.c. This is preparation for enhancing BPF program configuration, which will allow config string like 'inlines=yes'.

tools: Adopt memdup() from tools/perf, moving it to tools/lib/string.c

2015-11-18T20:51:02Z

That will contain more string functions with counterparts, sometimes verbatim copies, in the kernel.

tools include: Add compiler.h to list.h

2015-11-11T21:41:33Z

list.h needs WRITE_ONCE() since 7f5f873c6a07 ("rculist: Use WRITE_ONCE() when deleting from reader-visible list") add it before including the kernel's list.h file. This fixes builds of 'make perf-tar-src-pkg' perf tool tarball builds, i.e. out of tree builds.

tools include: Fix strict-aliasing rules breakage

2015-10-13T14:43:16Z

Vinson reported build breakage with gcc 4.4 due to strict-aliasing. CC util/annotate.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors util/annotate.c: In function ‘disasm__purge’: linux-next/tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66: error: dereferencing pointer ‘res.41’ does break strict-aliasing rules The reason is READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code we took from kernel sources. They intentionaly break aliasing rules. While this is ok for kernel because it's built with -fno-strict-aliasing, it breaks perf which is build with -Wstrict-aliasing=3. Using extra __may_alias__ type to allow aliasing in this case.

tools: Add err.h with ERR_PTR PTR_ERR interface

2015-09-15T12:48:32Z

Adding part of the kernel's interface: inline void * __must_check ERR_PTR(long error); inline long __must_check PTR_ERR(__force const void *ptr); inline bool __must_check IS_ERR(__force const void *ptr); It will be used to propagate error through pointers in following patches.

perf tools: Copy linux/filter.h to tools/include

2015-09-02T19:30:46Z

This patch copies filter.h from include/linux/kernel.h to tools/include/linux/filter.h to enable other libraries to use macros in it, like libbpf which will be introduced by further patches. Currently, the filter.h copy only contains the useful macros needed by libbpf for not introducing too much dependence. tools/perf/MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'. One change: The 'imm' field of BPF_EMIT_CALL becomes ((FUNC) - BPF_FUNC_unspec) to suit user space code generator.
