[ Upstream commit 0ae065a5d265bc5ada13e350015458e0c5e5c351 ]

Avi Kivity reported a problem where the __weak
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() in tools/perf/util/bpf-event.c was being
used and it called btf__get_from_id() in tools/lib/bpf/btf.c that in
turn called back to btf__load_from_kernel_by_id(), resulting in an
endless loop.

Fix this by adding a feature test to check if
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() is available when building perf with
LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, and if not then provide the fallback to the old
btf__get_from_id(), that doesn't call back to btf__load_from_kernel_by_id()
since at that time it didn't exist at all.

Tested on Fedora 35 where we have libbpf-devel 0.4.0 with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC
where we don't have btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and thus its feature
test fail, not defining HAVE_LIBBPF_BTF__LOAD_FROM_KERNEL_BY_ID:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf-urgent/feature/test-libbpf-btf__load_from_kernel_by_id.make.output

commit 541f695cbcb6932c22638b06e0cbe1d56177e2e9 upstream.

Just like its done for ldopts and for both in tools/perf/Makefile.config.

Using `` to initialize PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS somehow precludes using:

  $(filter-out SOMETHING_TO_FILTER,$(PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS))

And we need to do it to allow for building with versions of clang where
some gcc options selected by distros are not available.

commit 41caff459a5b956b3e23ba9ca759dd0629ad3dda upstream.

These make the feature check fail when using clang, so remove them just
like is done in tools/perf/Makefile.config to build perf itself.

Adding -Wno-compound-token-split-by-macro to tools/perf/Makefile.config
when building with clang is also necessary to avoid these warnings
turned into errors (-Werror):

Please refer to the discussion on the Link: tag below, where Nathan
clarifies the situation:

&lt;quote&gt;
acme&gt; And then get to the problems at the end of this message, which seem
acme&gt; similar to the problem described here:
acme&gt;
acme&gt; From  Nathan Chancellor &lt;&gt;
acme&gt; Subject	[PATCH] mwifiex: Remove unnecessary braces from HostCmd_SET_SEQ_NO_BSS_INFO
acme&gt;
acme&gt; https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/1/135
acme&gt;
acme&gt; So perhaps in this case its better to disable that
acme&gt; -Werror,-Wcompound-token-split-by-macro when building with clang?

Yes, I think that is probably the best solution. As far as I can tell,
at least in this file and context, the warning appears harmless, as the
"create a GNU C statement expression from two different macros" is very
much intentional, based on the presence of PERL_USE_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS.
The warning is fixed in upstream Perl by just avoiding creating GNU C
statement expressions using STMT_START and STMT_END:

  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18780
  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18984

If I am reading the source code correctly, an alternative to disabling
the warning would be specifying -DPERL_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS_FORBIDDEN but it
seems like that might end up impacting more than just this site,
according to the issue discussion above.
&lt;/quote&gt;

<title>tools build: Remove needless libpython-version feature check that breaks test-all fast path</title>
<updated>2021-12-07T00:57:53Z</updated>
<author>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=3d1d57debee2d342a47615707588b96658fabb85'/>
<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
  $

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:

v3. Adds file missed in v1 and v2 spotted by Jiri Olsa.

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.

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.

<title>tools: Factor Clang, LLC and LLVM utils definitions</title>

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.
