perf build: Don't unconditionally link the libbfd feature test to -liberty and -lz

2018-12-21T12:42:46+00:00

Current libbfd feature test unconditionally links against -liberty and -lz. While it's required on some systems (e.g. opensuse), it's completely unnecessary on the others, where only -lbdf is sufficient (debian). This patch streamlines (and renames) the following feature checks: feature-libbfd - only link against -lbfd (debian), see commit 2cf9040714f3 ("perf tools: Fix bfd dependency libraries detection") feature-libbfd-liberty - link against -lbfd and -liberty feature-libbfd-liberty-z - link against -lbfd, -liberty and -lz (opensuse), see commit 280e7c48c3b8 ("perf tools: fix BFD detection on opensuse") (feature-liberty{,-z} were renamed to feature-libbfd-liberty{,z} for clarity) The main motivation is to fix this feature test for bpftool which is currently broken on debian (libbfd feature shows OFF, but we still unconditionally link against -lbfd and it works). Tested on debian with only -lbfd installed (without -liberty); I'd appreciate if somebody on the other systems can test this new detection method.

tools build feature: Check if eventfd() is available

2018-11-22T01:25:44+00:00

A new 'perf bench epoll' will use this, and to disable it for older systems, add a feature test for this API. This is just a simple program that if successfully compiled, means that the feature is present, at least at the library level, in a build that sets the output directory to /tmp/build/perf (using O=/tmp/build/perf), we end up with: $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd* -rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 8176 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 588 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.d -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 0 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.make.output $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff3bf3f000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa984061000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa984417000) $ grep eventfd -A 2 -B 2 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP feature-dwarf=1 feature-dwarf_getlocations=1 feature-eventfd=1 feature-fortify-source=1 feature-sync-compare-and-swap=1 $ The main thing here is that in the end we'll have -DHAVE_EVENTFD in CFLAGS, and then the 'perf bench' entry needing that API can be selectively pruned.

tools: include reallocarray feature test in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC

2018-07-14T08:38:48+00:00

perf propagates its feature check results to libbpf. This means features for which perf probes must be a superset of libbpf's required features. perf depends on FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC for its list of features. commit 531b014e7a2f ("tools: bpf: make use of reallocarray") added reallocarray use to libbpf, make perf also perform the reallocarray feature check.

perf tools: Integrating the CoreSight decoding library

2018-01-25T09:37:23+00:00

The Open CoreSight Decoding Library (openCSD) is a free and open library to decode traces collected by the CoreSight hardware infrastructure. This patch adds the required mechanic to recognise the presence of the openCSD library on a system and set up miscellaneous flags to be used in the compilation of the trace decoding feature.

2017-03-03T22:07:19+00:00

Instead of trying to go on adding more ifdef conditions, do a feature test and define HAVE_SCHED_GETCPU_SUPPORT instead, then use it to provide the prototype. No need to change the stub, as it is already a __weak symbol.
