perf bench futex: Fix prctl include in musl libc

2025-06-17T21:29:42Z

Namhyung Kim reported: I've updated the perf-tools-next to v6.16-rc1 and found a build error like below on alpine linux 3.18. In file included from bench/futex.c:6: /usr/include/sys/prctl.h:88:8: error: redefinition of 'struct prctl_mm_map' 88 | struct prctl_mm_map { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from bench/futex.c:5: /linux/tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h:134:8: note: originally defined here 134 | struct prctl_mm_map { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ make[4]: *** [/linux/tools/build/Makefile.build:86: /build/bench/futex.o] Error 1 git bisect says it's the first commit introduced the failure. So both /usr/include/sys/prctl.h and /linux/tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h provide struct prctl_mm_map but their include guard must be different. /usr/include/sys/prctl.h provided by glibc contains the prctl() declaration. It includes also linux/prctl.h. The /usr/include/sys/prctl.h on alpine linux is different. This is probably coming from musl. It contains the PR_* definition and the prctl() declaration. So it clashes here because now the one struct is available twice. The man page for prctl(2) says: | #include /* Definition of PR_* constants */ | #include so musl doesn't follow this. So don't include linux/prctl.h explicitely and add some new defines needed if they aren't available.

perf evsel: Missed close() when probing hybrid core PMUs

2025-06-17T19:55:24Z

Add missing close() to avoid leaking perf events. In past perfs this mattered little as the function was just used by 'perf list'. As the function is now used to detect hybrid PMUs leaking the perf event is somewhat more painful.

perf test: Restrict uniquifying test to machines with 'uncore_imc'

2025-06-16T17:05:10Z

The test would fail if target machine does not have 'uncore_imc' devices. Since event uniquifying behavior is similar among different architectures, we are restricting the test to only run on machines with `uncore_imc` devices.
