perf tools: Fix the build on the alpine:edge distro

2018-07-30T16:15:03Z

The UAPI file byteorder/little_endian.h uses the __always_inline define without including the header where it is defined, linux/stddef.h, this ends up working in all the other distros because that file gets included seemingly by luck from one of the files included from little_endian.h. But not on Alpine:edge, that fails for all files where perf_event.h is included but linux/stddef.h isn't include before that. Adding the missing linux/stddef.h file where it breaks on Alpine:edge to fix that, in all other distros, that is just a very small header anyway.

tools arch: Update arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S copy used in 'perf bench mem memcpy'

2018-07-30T15:36:51Z

To cope with the changes in: 12c89130a56a ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Add write-protection-fault handling") 60622d68227d ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Return bytes remaining") bd131544aa7e ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Add labels for __memcpy_mcsafe() write fault handling") da7bc9c57eb0 ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Remove loop unrolling") This needed introducing a file with a copy of the mcsafe_handle_tail() function, that is used in the new memcpy_64.S file, as well as a dummy mcsafe_test.h header. Testing it: $ nm ~/bin/perf | grep mcsafe 0000000000484130 T mcsafe_handle_tail 0000000000484300 T __memcpy_mcsafe $ $ perf bench mem memcpy # Running 'mem/memcpy' benchmark: # function 'default' (Default memcpy() provided by glibc) # Copying 1MB bytes ... 44.389205 GB/sec # function 'x86-64-unrolled' (unrolled memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB bytes ... 22.710756 GB/sec # function 'x86-64-movsq' (movsq-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB bytes ... 42.459239 GB/sec # function 'x86-64-movsb' (movsb-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB bytes ... 42.459239 GB/sec $ This silences this perf tools build warning: Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Dan Williams Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mika Penttilä Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-igdpciheradk3gb3qqal52d0@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Commit 0c3b7e42616f ("tools build: Add support for host programs format") introduced host_c_flags which referenced CHOSTFLAGS. The actual name of the variable is HOSTCFLAGS. Fix this up.

perf tools: Use python-config --includes rather than --cflags

2018-07-11T13:48:31Z

Builds started failing in Fedora on Python 3.7 with: `.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' referenced in section `.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' of util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o: defined in discarded section In Fedora, Python 3.7 added -flto to the list of --cflags and since it was only applied to util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c and scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c, linking failed. It's not the first time the addition of flags has broken builds: commit c6707fdef7e2 ("perf tools: Fix up build in hardnened environments") appears to have fixed a similar problem. "python-config --includes" provides the proper -I flags and doesn't introduce additional CFLAGS.

perf script python: Fix dict reference counting

2018-07-11T13:45:24Z

The dictionaries are attached to the parameter tuple that steals the references and takes care of releasing them when appropriate. The code should not decrement the reference counts explicitly. E.g. if libpython has been built with reference debugging enabled, the superfluous DECREFs will trigger this error when running perf script: Fatal Python error: Objects/tupleobject.c:238 object at 0x7f10f2041b40 has negative ref count -1 Aborted (core dumped) If the reference debugging is not enabled, the superfluous DECREFs might cause the dict objects to be silently released while they are still in use. This may trigger various other assertions or just cause perf crashes and/or weird and unexpected data changes in the stored Python objects.

perf tools: Fix compilation errors on gcc8

2018-07-11T13:39:57Z

We are getting following warnings on gcc8 that break compilation: $ make CC jvmti/jvmti_agent.o jvmti/jvmti_agent.c: In function ‘jvmti_open’: jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:252:35: error: ‘/jit-’ directive output may be truncated \ writing 5 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 4096 [-Werror=format-truncation=] snprintf(dump_path, PATH_MAX, "%s/jit-%i.dump", jit_path, getpid()); There's no point in checking the result of snprintf call in jvmti_open, the following open call will fail in case the name is mangled or too long. Using tools/lib/ function scnprintf that touches the return value from the snprintf() calls and thus get rid of those warnings. $ make DEBUG=1 CC arch/x86/util/perf_regs.o arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c: In function ‘arch_sdt_arg_parse_op’: arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:229:4: error: ‘strncpy’ output truncated before terminating nul copying 2 bytes from a string of the same length [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(prefix, "+0", 2); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Using scnprintf instead of the strncpy (which we know is safe in here) to get rid of that warning.

perf llvm-utils: Remove bashism from kernel include fetch script

2018-07-11T13:01:51Z

Like system(), popen() calls /bin/sh, which may/may not be bash. Script when run on dash and encounters the line, yields: exit: Illegal number: -1 checkbashisms report on script content: possible bashism (exit|return with negative status code): exit -1 Remove the bashism and use the more portable non-zero failure status code 1.
