perf tools: Fix arm64 libjvmti build by generating unistd_64.h

2025-10-06T20:16:52Z

Since commit 22f72088ffe6 ("tools headers: Update the syscall table with the kernel sources") the arm64 syscall header is generated at build time. Later, commit bfb713ea53c7 ("perf tools: Fix arm64 build by generating unistd_64.h") added a dependency to libperf to guarantee that this header was created before building libperf or perf itself. However, libjvmti also requires this header but does not depend on libperf, leading to build failures such as: In file included from /usr/include/sys/syscall.h:24, from /usr/include/syscall.h:1, from jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:36: tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:2:10: fatal error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory 2 | #include Fix this by ensuring that libperf is built before libjvmti, so that unistd_64.h is always available.

perf tests: Don't retest sections in "Object code reading"

2025-10-06T19:59:11Z

We already only test each kcore map once, but on slow systems (particularly with network filesystems) even the non-kcore maps are slow. The test can test the same objdump output over and over which only wastes time. Generalize the skipping mechanism to track all DSOs and addresses so that each section is only tested once. On a fully loaded ARM Juno (simulating a parallel 'perf test' run) with a network filesystem, the original runtime is: real 1m51.126s user 0m19.445s sys 1m15.431s And the new runtime is: real 0m48.873s user 0m8.031s sys 0m32.353s Committer testing: # perf test "code read" 22: Object code reading : Ok # Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: James Clark Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Leo Yan Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf docs: Document building with Clang

2025-10-06T19:49:25Z

Add example commands for building perf with Clang. Since recent Android NDK releases use Clang as the default compiler, a separate Android specific document is no longer needed; point to the general build documentation instead.
