<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
  $

<content type='text'>
The patch removing the feature-sync-compare-and-swap feature detection
didn't remove the call to main_test_sync_compare_and_swap(), making the
'test-all' case fail an all the feature tests to be performed
individually:

  $ 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
        |          ^~~~~
  test-all.c: In function ‘main’:
  test-all.c:203:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘main_test_sync_compare_and_swap’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    203 |         main_test_sync_compare_and_swap(argc, argv);
        |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  $

Fix it, now to figure out what is that test-libpython-version.c
problem...

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.

correctly simplified the this feature detection, but forgot to remove
the call to the removed function in the main() function for the
test-all.c fast path feature detection, making it fail and thus do all
the feature detection individually, fix it.

This is bitrotting, nobody is stepping up to work on it, and since we
treat warnings as errors, feature detection is failing in its main,
faster test (tools/build/feature/test-all.c) because of the GTK+2
infobar check.

So make this opt-in, at some point ditch this if nobody volunteers to
take care of this.

It's trivial to handle missing ELF_C_MMAP_READ support in libelf the way that
objtool has solved it in
("774bec3fddcc objtool: Add fallback from ELF_C_READ_MMAP to ELF_C_READ").

So instead of having an entire feature detector for that, just do what objtool
does for perf and libbpf. And keep their Makefiles a bit simpler.

Ingo reported that the libaudit was always appearing as OFF:

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
  ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ on  ]
  ...                         glibc: [ on  ]
  ...                          gtk2: [ on  ]
  ...                      libaudit: [ OFF ]

And everything seemed to work, i.e. we were checking for a feature that
we don't use, causing confusion for people building perf, so work to
remove that nuisance while making sure that it works when an arch
doesn't provide the alternative method to generate the syscall id/name
conversion tables.

Longer explanation of the new modus operandi:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf NO_SYSCALL_TABLE=1
  &lt;SNIP&gt;

  ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]

  Makefile.config:665: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev
    GEN      /tmp/build/perf/common-cmds.h
    MKDIR    /tmp/build/perf/fd/
    MKDIR    /tmp/build/perf/fs/
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  $

The libaudit test is forced and it fails when audit-libs-devel isn't available:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output
  test-libaudit.c:2:10: fatal error: libaudit.h: No such file or directory
      2 | #include &lt;libaudit.h&gt;
        |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.
  $

If we install audit-libs-devel and rebuild it continues not to be shown as OFF
in the main auto-detection summary, but again gets tested and this time:

  $ rpm -q audit-libs-devel
  audit-libs-devel-3.0-0.15.20191104git1c2f876.fc31.x86_64
  $

The make output for the feature detection comes clean:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output

And the feature detection binary is successfully built and is dynamicly linked
with libaudit:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.bin | grep audit
  	libaudit.so.1 =&gt; /lib64/libaudit.so.1 (0x00007f5bf5177000)
  $

As well as the resulting perf binary:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep audit
  	libaudit.so.1 =&gt; /lib64/libaudit.so.1 (0x00007fad511c7000)
  $

And 'perf trace' works using the libaudit method:

  $ sudo /tmp/build/perf/perf trace -e nanosleep sleep 1
       0.000 (1000.067 ms): sleep/281872 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffedbbe69d0) = 0
  $

If we leave audit-libs-devel installed but don't disable the use of the best
method, the one using SYSCALL_TABLE, the default for architectures that provide
the script to build the syscall id/name mapping using the .tbl files copied
from the kernel sources, we get:

  $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf

  ...        disassembler-four-args: [ on  ]

    GEN      /tmp/build/perf/common-cmds.h
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  $

Again, no mention of libaudit being on or OFF and:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output
  cat: /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output: No such file or directory
  $

We didn't even bother checking for its availability, slightly speeding up the
build process and:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libaudit
  $

We don't link with it, also:

  $ sudo /tmp/build/perf/perf trace -e nanosleep sleep 1
       0.000 (1000.053 ms): sleep/299125 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc24611b50) = 0
  $

And globs become available:

  $ sudo /tmp/build/perf/perf trace -e *sleep sleep 1
       0.000 (1000.072 ms): sleep/299136 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffe7a3c4ff0) = 0
  $

We were renanimg 'main' to 'main_zstd' but then using 'main_libzstd();'
in the main() for test-all.c, causing this:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  test-all.c: In function ‘main’:
  test-all.c:236:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘main_test_libzstd’; did you mean ‘main_test_zstd’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    main_test_libzstd();
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    main_test_zstd
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  $

I.e. what was supposed to be the fast path feature test was _always_
failing, duh, fix it.
