perf build: Warn when libdebuginfod devel files are not available
[ Upstream commit 4fce4b91fd1aabb326c46e237eb4b19ab72598f8 ] While working on 'perf version --build-options' I noticed that: $ perf version --build-options perf version 6.15.rc1.g312a07a00d31 aio: [ on ] # HAVE_AIO_SUPPORT bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT bpf_skeletons: [ on ] # HAVE_BPF_SKEL debuginfod: [ OFF ] # HAVE_DEBUGINFOD_SUPPORT <SNIP> And looking at tools/perf/Makefile.config I also noticed that it is not opt-in, meaning we will attempt to build with it in all normal cases. So add the usual warning at build time to let the user know that something recommended is missing, now we see: Makefile.config:563: No elfutils/debuginfod.h found, no debuginfo server support, please install elfutils-debuginfod-client-devel or equivalent And after following the recommendation: $ perf check feature debuginfod debuginfod: [ on ] # HAVE_DEBUGINFOD_SUPPORT $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep debuginfo libdebuginfod.so.1 => /lib64/libdebuginfod.so.1 (0x00007fee5cf5f000) $ With this feature on several perf tools will fetch what is needed and not require all the contents of the debuginfo packages, for instance: # rpm -qa | grep kernel-debuginfo # pahole --running_kernel_vmlinux pahole: couldn't find a vmlinux that matches the running kernel HINT: Maybe you're inside a container or missing a debuginfo package? # # perf trace -e open* perf probe --vars icmp_rcv 0.000 ( 0.005 ms): perf/97391 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/etc/ld.so.cache", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3 0.014 ( 0.004 ms): perf/97391 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/lib64/libm.so.6", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3 <SNIP> 32130.100 ( 0.008 ms): perf/97391 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/root/.cache/debuginfod_client/aa3c82b4a13f9c0e0301bebb20fe958c4db6f362/debuginfo") = 3 <SNIP> Available variables at icmp_rcv @<icmp_rcv+0> struct sk_buff* skb <SNIP> # # pahole --running_kernel_vmlinux /root/.cache/debuginfod_client/aa3c82b4a13f9c0e0301bebb20fe958c4db6f362/debuginfo # file /root/.cache/debuginfod_client/aa3c82b4a13f9c0e0301bebb20fe958c4db6f362/debuginfo /root/.cache/debuginfod_client/aa3c82b4a13f9c0e0301bebb20fe958c4db6f362/debuginfo: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=aa3c82b4a13f9c0e0301bebb20fe958c4db6f362, with debug_info, not stripped # ls -la /root/.cache/debuginfod_client/aa3c82b4a13f9c0e0301bebb20fe958c4db6f362/debuginfo -r--------. 1 root root 475401512 Mar 27 21:00 /root/.cache/debuginfod_client/aa3c82b4a13f9c0e0301bebb20fe958c4db6f362/debuginfo # Then, cached: # perf stat --null perf probe --vars icmp_rcv Available variables at icmp_rcv @<icmp_rcv+0> struct sk_buff* skb Performance counter stats for 'perf probe --vars icmp_rcv': 0.671389041 seconds time elapsed 0.519176000 seconds user 0.150860000 seconds sys Fixes: c7a14fdcb3fa7736 ("perf build-ids: Fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found") Tested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Dmitriy Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Howard Chu <howardchu95@gmail.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Frank Ch.
