2021-04-29tools build: Allow deferring printing the results of feature detectionArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-10/+17
By setting FEATURE_DISPLAY_DEFERRED=1 a tool may ask for the printout of the detected features in tools/build/Makefile.feature to be done later adter extra feature checks are done that are tool specific. The perf tool will do it via its tools/perf/Makefile.config, as it performs such extra feature checks. Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2021-04-25tools: do not include scripts/Kbuild.includeMasahiro Yamada1-0/+24
Since commit 57fd251c7896 ("kbuild: split cc-option and friends to scripts/Makefile.compiler"), some kselftests fail to build. The tools/ directory opted out Kbuild, and went in a different direction. People copied scripts and Makefiles to the tools/ directory to create their own build system. tools/build/Build.include mimics scripts/Kbuild.include, but some tool Makefiles include the Kbuild one to import a feature that is missing in tools/build/Build.include: - Commit ec04aa3ae87b ("tools/thermal: tmon: use "-fstack-protector" only if supported") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/thermal/tmon/Makefile to import the cc-option macro. - Commit c2390f16fc5b ("selftests: kvm: fix for compilers that do not support -no-pie") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile to import the try-run macro. - Commit 9cae4ace80ef ("selftests/bpf: do not ignore clang failures") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile to import the .DELETE_ON_ERROR target. - Commit 0695f8bca93e ("selftests/powerpc: Handle Makefile for unrecognized option") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/pmu/ebb/Makefile to import the try-run macro. Copy what they need into tools/build/Build.include, and make them include it instead of scripts/Kbuild.include.

2021-03-06perf build: Move feature cleanup under tools/buildJiri Olsa1-1/+7
Arnaldo reported issue for following build command: $ rm -rf /tmp/krava; mkdir /tmp/krava; make O=/tmp/krava clean CLEAN config /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /tmp/krava/feature/: No such file or directory ../../scripts/Makefile.include:17: *** output directory "/tmp/krava/feature/" does not exist. Stop. make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:1010: config-clean] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:90: clean] Error 2 The problem is that now that we include scripts/Makefile.include in feature's Makefile (which is fine and needed), we need to ensure the OUTPUT directory exists, before executing (out of tree) clean command. Removing the feature's cleanup from perf Makefile and fixing feature's cleanup under build Makefile, so it now checks that there's existing OUTPUT directory before calling the clean.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: "New features: - Support instruction latency in 'perf report', with both memory latency (weight) and instruction latency information, users can locate expensive load instructions and understand time spent in different stages. - Extend 'perf c2c' to display the number of loads which were blocked by data or address conflict. - Add 'perf stat' support for L2 topdown events in systems such as Intel's Sapphire rapids server. - Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE in various tools, as a sort key, for instance: perf report --stdio --sort=comm,symbol,code_page_size - New 'perf daemon' command to run long running sessions while providing a way to control the enablement of events without restarting a traditional 'perf record' session. - Enable counting events for BPF programs in 'perf stat' just like for other targets (tid, cgroup, cpu, etc), e.g.: # perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000 1.487903822 115,200 ref-cycles 1.487903822 86,012 cycles 2.489147029 80,560 ref-cycles 2.489147029 73,784 cycles ^C The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program of id 254. It is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more flexible. - Support the new layout for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 to carry the DSO build-id using infrastructure generalised from the eBPF subsystem, removing the need for traversing the perf.data file to collect build-ids at the end of 'perf record' sessions and helping with long running sessions where binaries can get replaced in updates, leading to possible mis-resolution of symbols. - Support filtering by hex address in 'perf script'. - Support DSO filter in 'perf script', like in other perf tools. - Add namespaces support to 'perf inject' - Add support for SDT (Dtrace Style Markers) events on ARM64. perf record: - Fix handling of eventfd() when draining a buffer in 'perf record'. - Improvements to the generation of metadata events for pre-existing threads (mmaps, comm, etc), speeding up the work done at the start of system wide or per CPU 'perf record' sessions.

2021-01-29tools: Factor Clang, LLC and LLVM utils definitionsSedat Dilek1-2/+2
When dealing with BPF/BTF/pahole and DWARF v5 I wanted to build bpftool. While looking into the source code I found duplicate assignments in misc tools for the LLVM eco system, e.g. clang and llvm-objcopy. Move the Clang, LLC and/or LLVM utils definitions to tools/scripts/Makefile.include file and add missing includes where needed. Honestly, I was inspired by the commit c8a950d0d3b9 ("tools: Factor HOSTCC, HOSTLD, HOSTAR definitions"). I tested with bpftool and perf on Debian/testing AMD64 and LLVM/Clang v11.1.0-rc1. Build instructions: [ make and make-options ] MAKE="make V=1" MAKE_OPTS="HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTLD=ld.lld CC=clang LD=ld.lld LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1" MAKE_OPTS="$MAKE_OPTS PAHOLE=/opt/pahole/bin/pahole" [ clean-up ] $MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/ clean [ bpftool ] $MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/bpf/bpftool/ [ perf ] PYTHON=python3 $MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/perf/ I was careful with respecting the user's wish to override custom compiler, linker, GNU/binutils and/or LLVM utils settings.

Note that for the fix from Song we have seen a sparse report on context imbalance which requires changes in sparse itself for proper annotation detection where this is currently being discussed on linux-sparse among developers [0].

2020-09-09tools feature: Add missing -lzstd to the fast path feature detectionArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
We were failing that due to GTK2+ and then for the ZSTD test, which made test-all.c, the fast path feature detection file to fail and thus trigger building all of the feature tests, slowing down the test. Eventually the ZSTD test would be built and would succeed, since it had the needed -lzstd, avoiding: $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccRRJQ4u.o: in function `main_test_libzstd': /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/feature/test-libzstd.c:8: undefined reference to `ZSTD_createCStream' /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/feature/test-libzstd.c:9: undefined reference to `ZSTD_freeCStream' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status $ Fix it by adding -lzstd to the test-all target. Now I need an entry to 'perf test' to make sure that /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output is empty...

2020-08-28tools, bpf/build: Cleanup feature files on make cleanJesper Dangaard Brouer1-0/+2
The system for "Auto-detecting system features" located under tools/build/ are (currently) used by perf, libbpf and bpftool. It can contain stalled feature detection files, which are not cleaned up by libbpf and bpftool on make clean (side-note: perf tool is correct). Fix this by making the users invoke the make clean target. Some details about the changes. The libbpf Makefile already had a clean-config target (which seems to be copy-pasted from perf), but this target was not "connected" (a make dependency) to clean target. Choose not to rename target as someone might be using it. Did change the output from "CLEAN config" to "CLEAN feature-detect", to make it more clear what happens.

It's trivial to handle missing ELF_C_MMAP_READ support in libelf the way that objtool has solved it in ("774bec3fddcc objtool: Add fallback from ELF_C_READ_MMAP to ELF_C_READ"). So instead of having an entire feature detector for that, just do what objtool does for perf and libbpf. And keep their Makefiles a bit simpler.

2020-08-13tools build feature: Quote CC and CXX for their argumentsDaniel Díaz1-1/+1
When using a cross-compilation environment, such as OpenEmbedded, the CC an CXX variables are set to something more than just a command: there are arguments (such as --sysroot) that need to be passed on to the compiler so that the right set of headers and libraries are used. For the particular case that our systems detected, CC is set to the following: export CC="aarch64-linaro-linux-gcc --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/machine/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot" Without quotes, detection is as follows: Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ OFF ] ... dwarf_getlocations: [ OFF ] ... glibc: [ OFF ] ... gtk2: [ OFF ] ... libbfd: [ OFF ] ... libcap: [ OFF ] ... libelf: [ OFF ] ... libnuma: [ OFF ] ... numa_num_possible_cpus: [ OFF ] ... libperl: [ OFF ] ... libpython: [ OFF ] ... libcrypto: [ OFF ] ... libunwind: [ OFF ] ... libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ OFF ] ... zlib: [ OFF ] ... lzma: [ OFF ] ... get_cpuid: [ OFF ] ... bpf: [ OFF ] ... libaio: [ OFF ] ... libzstd: [ OFF ] ... disassembler-four-args: [ OFF ] Makefile.config:414: *** No gnu/libc-version.h found, please install glibc-dev[el].

2020-08-03tools, build: Propagate build failures from tools/build/Makefile.buildAndrii Nakryiko1-1/+2
The '&&' command seems to have a bad effect when $(cmd_$(1)) exits with non-zero effect: the command failure is masked (despite `set -e`) and all but the first command of $(dep-cmd) is executed (successfully, as they are mostly printfs), thus overall returning 0 in the end. This means in practice that despite compilation errors, tools's build Makefile will return success. We see this very reliably with libbpf's Makefile, which doesn't get compilation error propagated properly. This in turns causes issues with selftests build, as well as bpftool and other projects that rely on building libbpf. The fix is simple: don't use &&. Given `set -e`, we don't need to chain commands with &&. The shell will exit on first failure, giving desired behavior and propagating error properly.

2020-07-31tools build feature: Use CC and CXX from parentThomas Hebb2-3/+1
commit c8c188679ccf ("tools build: Use the same CC for feature detection and actual build") changed these assignments from unconditional (:=) to conditional (?=) so that they wouldn't clobber values from the environment. However, conditional assignment does not work properly for variables that Make implicitly sets, among which are CC and CXX. To quote tools/scripts/Makefile.include, which handles this properly: # Makefiles suck: This macro sets a default value of $(2) for the # variable named by $(1), unless the variable has been set by # environment or command line. This is necessary for CC and AR # because make sets default values, so the simpler ?= approach # won't work as expected. In other words, the conditional assignments will not run even if the variables are not overridden in the environment; Make will set CC to "cc" and CXX to "g++" when it starts[1], meaning the variables are not empty by the time the conditional assignments are evaluated. This breaks cross-compilation when CROSS_COMPILE is set but CC isn't, since "cc" gets used for feature detection instead of the cross compiler (and likewise for CXX). To fix the issue, just pass down the values of CC and CXX computed by the parent Makefile, which gets included by the Makefile that actually builds whatever we're detecting features for and so is guaranteed to have good values. This is a better solution anyway, since it means we aren't trying to replicate the logic of the parent build system and so don't risk it getting out of sync. Leave PKG_CONFIG alone, since 1) there's no common logic to compute it in Makefile.include, and 2) it's not an implicit variable, so conditional assignment works properly.

2020-05-29perf build: Remove libaudit from the default feature checksArnaldo Carvalho de Melo3-8/+1
Ingo reported that the libaudit was always appearing as OFF: Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ on ] ... dwarf_getlocations: [ on ] ... glibc: [ on ] ... gtk2: [ on ] ... libaudit: [ OFF ] And everything seemed to work, i.e. we were checking for a feature that we don't use, causing confusion for people building perf, so work to remove that nuisance while making sure that it works when an arch doesn't provide the alternative method to generate the syscall id/name conversion tables.
