Move libperf from its current location under tools/perf to a separate
directory under tools/lib/.

Also change various paths (mainly includes) to reflect the libperf move
to a separate directory and add a new directory under MANIFEST.

<title>perf tools: Allow to link with libbpf dynamicaly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7b65e2034fde011d090d4ec472902b71129c6cbd</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libbpf
(tools/lib/bpf). This patch adds libbpf package detection and support to
link perf with it dynamically.

The libbpf package status is displayed with:

  $ make VF=1
  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...
  ...                        libbpf: [ on  ]

It's not checked by default, because it's quite new.  Once it's on most
distros we can switch it on.

For the same reason it's not added to the test-all check.

Perf does not need advanced version of libbpf, so we can check just for
the base bpf_object__open function.

Adding new compile variable to detect libbpf package and link bpf
dynamically:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1
    ...
    LINK     perf
  $ ldd perf | grep bpf
    libbpf.so.0 =&gt; /lib64/libbpf.so.0 (0x00007f46818bc000)

If libbpf is not installed, build stops with:

  Makefile.config:486: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found,\
  please install libbpf-devel.  Stop.

Committer testing:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
  Makefile.config:493: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found, please install libbpf-devel.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:225: sub-make] Error 2

By using "make TCMALLOC=1" you can enable perf to be build for usage
with libtcmalloc.so (gperftools).

Get heap profile (tools/perf directory):

  $ &lt;install gperftools&gt;
  $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1
  $ HEAPPROFILE=/tmp/heapprof ./perf ...
  $ pprof ./perf /tmp/heapprof.000*

See callstack:
  $ pprof --pdf ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00* &gt; callstack.pdf
  $ pprof --web ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00*

Committer testing:

Install gperftools, on fedora:

  # dnf install gperftools-devel

Then build:

 $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin

Verify that it linked against the right library:

  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep tcma
	libtcmalloc.so.4 =&gt; /lib64/libtcmalloc.so.4 (0x00007fb2953a7000)
  $

Andi reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not propagate to the libbperf
code. It's true also for the other flags. Changing the code to propagate
the global build flags to libperf compilation.

With Java 11 there is no seperate JRE anymore.

Details:

  https://coderanch.com/t/701603/java/JRE-JDK

Therefore the detection of the JRE needs to be adapted.

This change works for s390 and x86.  I have not tested other platforms.

Committer testing:

Continues to work with the OpenJDK 8:

  $ rm -f ~acme/lib64/libperf-jvmti.so
  $ rpm -qa | grep jdk-devel
  java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.222.b10-0.fc30.x86_64

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Improved kbprobes robustness

   - Intel PEBS support for PT hardware tracing

   - Other Intel PT improvements: high order pages memory footprint
     reduction and various related cleanups

   - Misc cleanups

  The perf tooling side has been very busy in this cycle, with over 300
  commits. This is an incomplete high-level summary of the many
  improvements done by over 30 developers:

   - Lots of updates to the following tools:

      'perf c2c'
      'perf config'
      'perf record'
      'perf report'
      'perf script'
      'perf test'
      'perf top'
      'perf trace'

   - Updates to libperf and libtraceevent, and a consolidation of the
     proliferation of x86 instruction decoder libraries.

   - Vendor event updates for Intel and PowerPC CPUs,

   - Updates to hardware tracing tooling for ARM and Intel CPUs,

   - ... and lots of other changes and cleanups - see the shortlog and
     Git log for details"

The next cset will grap const.h copies from the kernel to keep bits.h
in sync as it started to use linux/const.h, that in turn includes
uapi/linux/const.h.

So now we have a file with the same name in tools/include and
tools/uapi/include, and one includes the other, we need to have
tools/include/uapi/ after tools/include/ for this to work, fix it.

Add an empty libperf.a under tools/perf/lib and link it with perf.

It can also be built separately with:

  $ cd tools/perf/lib &amp;&amp; make
    CC       core.o
    LD       libperf-in.o
    AR       libperf.a
    LINK     libperf.so

Committer notes:

Need to add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi
-I$(srctree)/tools/include/uapi to tools/perf/lib/Makefile's INCLUDE
variable to pick up the latest versions of kernel headers, even in older
systems, this is in line with what is in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile.
