perf tools: Move config/Makefile into Makefile.config

2016-08-02T19:33:28Z

There's no reason to keep it in separate directory now when we moved out the rest of the files. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470074555-24889-6-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf build: Add sdt feature detection

2016-07-14T02:09:09Z

This checks whether sys/sdt.h is available or not, which is required for DTRACE_PROBE(). We can disable this feature by passing NO_SDT=1 when building. This flag will be used for SDT test case and further SDT events in perftools.

perf tools: Add feature detection for gelf_getnote()

2016-07-12T18:20:41Z

That is not present on some libelf implementations, such as the one used in Alpine Linux: libelf-0.8.13. This ends up disabling the SDT code, that relies on this function. One alternative would be to provide an weak fallback implementation or the open coded variant used by the buildid sysfs notes reading code.

perf tools: Don't add kernel directories to the header search path

2016-07-12T18:20:40Z

We've decided not to access kernel source files because changes there could break the tooling side, this is one more step in that direction.

tools: Copy uapi/asm/perf_regs.h from the kernel

2016-07-12T18:20:33Z

To allow the build to complete on older systems, where those files are either not uptodate, lacking some recent additions or not present at all. And check if the copy drifts from the kernel.

tools lib bpf: Copy bpf.h and bpf_common.h from the kernel

2016-07-12T18:20:32Z

To allow the build to complete on older systems, where those files are either not uptodate, lacking some recent additions or not present at all. And check if the copy drifts from the kernel, as in this synthetic test: BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build Warning: tools/include/linux/bpf.h differs from kernel Warning: tools/include/linux/bpf_common.h differs from kernel Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-5plvi2gq4x469dcyybiu226q@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools: Add copy of perf_event.h to tools/include/linux/

2016-07-12T18:20:31Z

We shouldn't use headers from the kernel sources directly, instead we should use the system's headers or in cases where that isn't possible, like with perf_event.h, where the introduction of kernel features such as perf_event_attr.{write_backwards,sample_max_stack} and PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT take some time to become available in /usr/include/linux/perf_event.h we need a copy. Do it and check for source code drift, emitting a warning when changes are detected.

perf tools: Move syscall number fallbacks from perf-sys.h to tools/arch/x86/include/asm/

2016-07-12T18:19:54Z

And remove the empty tools/arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_{32,64}.h files introduced by eae7a755ee81 ("perf tools, x86: Build perf on older user-space as well"). This way we get closer to mirroring the kernel for cases where __NR_ can't be found for some include path/_GNU_SOURCE/whatever scenario.

perf build: Add feature detection for libelf's elf_getshdrstrndx()

2016-07-04T22:38:59Z

That appeared after 0.140, and will be used in the SDT code, so, to avoid bisection break on older systems, add a feature detection and provide a stub with a pr_debug() to keep it building.

perf tools: Update makefile message for installing slang devel package

2016-06-27T15:44:22Z

In case of missing library (libslang), give hint to install library (libslang2-dev), since libslang-dev is not provided by Ubuntu.
