<id>urn:sha1:3d1d57debee2d342a47615707588b96658fabb85</id>
<content type='text'>
Since 66dfdff03d196e51 ("perf tools: Add Python 3 support") we don't use
the tools/build/feature/test-libpython-version.c version in any Makefile
feature check:

  $ find tools/ -type f | xargs grep feature-libpython-version
  $

The only place where this was used was removed in 66dfdff03d196e51:

  -        ifneq ($(feature-libpython-version), 1)
  -          $(warning Python 3 is not yet supported; please set)
  -          $(warning PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG appropriately.)
  -          $(warning If you also have Python 2 installed, then)
  -          $(warning try something like:)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning $(and ,)  make PYTHON=python2)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning Otherwise, disable Python support entirely:)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning $(and ,)  make NO_LIBPYTHON=1)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(error   $(and ,))
  -        else
  -          LDFLAGS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LDFLAGS)
  -          EXTLIBS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LIBADD)
  -          LANG_BINDINGS += $(obj-perf)python/perf.so
  -          $(call detected,CONFIG_LIBPYTHON)
  -        endif

And nowadays we either build with PYTHON=python3 or just install the
python3 devel packages and perf will build against it.

But the leftover feature-libpython-version check made the fast path
feature detection to break in all cases except when python2 devel files
were installed:

  $ rpm -qa | grep python.*devel
  python3-devel-3.9.7-1.fc34.x86_64
  $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ;
  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
    HOSTCC  /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  In file included from test-all.c:18:
  test-libpython-version.c:5:10: error: #error
      5 |         #error
        |          ^~~~~
  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
	libpython3.9.so.1.0 =&gt; /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0 (0x00007fda6dbcf000)
  $

As python3 is the norm these days, fix this by just removing the unused
feature-libpython-version feature check, making the test-all fast path
to work with the common case.

With this:

  $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ;
  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin |&amp; head
  make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
    HOSTCC  /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
    HOSTLD  /tmp/build/perf/fixdep-in.o
    LINK    /tmp/build/perf/fixdep

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
  ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ on  ]
  ...                         glibc: [ on  ]
  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
	libpython3.9.so.1.0 =&gt; /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0 (0x00007f58800b0000)
  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  $

<content type='text'>
The patch removing the feature-sync-compare-and-swap feature detection
didn't remove the call to main_test_sync_compare_and_swap(), making the
'test-all' case fail an all the feature tests to be performed
individually:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  In file included from test-all.c:18:
  test-libpython-version.c:5:10: error: #error
      5 |         #error

        |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  $

Fix it, now to figure out what is that test-libpython-version.c
problem...

Commit cbefd24f0aee3a5d ("tools build: Add test to check if slang.h is
in /usr/include/slang/") added a proper test to check whether slang.h is
in a subdirectory, and commit 1955c8cf5e26b1f7 ("perf tools: Don't
hardcode host include path for libslang") removed the include path for
test-libslang.bin but missed test-all.bin.

Apply the same change to test-all.bin.

Currently libtracefs isn't used by perf, but there are potential
improvements by using it as identified Steven Rostedt's e-mail:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210610154759.1ef958f0@oasis.local.home/

This change is modelled on the dynamic libtraceevent patch by Michael
Petlan:

headers. This also means that including headers separately for each
decoder is unnecessary so remove these.

Since the __sync functions have been removed from perf, it's needless
for perf tool to test the feature sync-compare-and-swap.

The feature test is not used by any other components, remove it.

<content type='text'>
Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libtraceevent
(tools/lib/traceevent). This patch adds libtraceevent package detection
and support to link perf with it dynamically.

  The libtraceevent package status is displayed with:
  $ make VF=1 LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1
  ...
  ...                 libtraceevent: [ on  ]

Default behavior remains the same (static linking).

Committer testing:

  $ make LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1 VF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin |&amp; grep traceevent
  Makefile.config:1090: *** Error: No libtraceevent devel library found, please install libtraceevent-devel.  Stop.

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.

  Hardware tracing:

   - Initial support for tracing KVM with Intel PT.

   - Intel PT fixes for IPC

   - Support Intel PT PSB (synchronization packets) events.

   - Automatically group aux-output events to overcome --filter syntax.

   - Enable PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC on ARMs SPE.

   - Update ARM's CoreSight hardware tracing OpenCSD library to v1.0.0.

  perf annotate TUI:

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.
