perf: Make the install relative to DESTDIR if specified

2010-04-01T23:01:29Z

commit 7ae5f21361fea11f58c398701da635f778635d13 upstream. Without this change, the install path is relative to prefix/DESTDIR where prefix is automatically set to $HOME. This can produce unexpected results. For example: make -C tools/perf DESTDIR=/home/jkacur/tmp install-man creates the directory: /home/jkacur/home/jkacur/tmp/share/... instead of the expected: /home/jkacur/tmp/share/...

perf tools: Check if /dev/null can be used as the -o gcc argument

2010-01-13T09:08:12Z

At least on Debian PARISC64, using: acme@parisc:~/git/linux-2.6-tip$ gcc -v Using built-in specs.

perf tools: Move QUIET_STDERR def to before first use

perf probe: Fix libdwarf include path for Debian

2009-12-17T07:06:41Z

Fix libdwarf include path to fit debian-like systems too. Borislav Petkov reported: > even after installing libdwarf-dev on my debian box here, > make in tools/perf/ still complains that it cannot find libdwarf: > > Makefile:491: No libdwarf.h found or old libdwarf.h found, disables dwarf > support. Please install libdwarf-dev/libdwarf-devel >= 20081231 > > The problem is that the include path on debian is not > /usr/include/libdwarf/ but simply /usr/include because the debian > package libdwarf-dev puts the headers straight into > /usr/include. This patch adds -I/usr/include/libdwarf to BASIC_CFLAGS and fix probe-finder.h to include just libdwarf.h/dwarf.h. This patch also adds a workaround for the undefined _MIPS_SZLONG bug in libdwarf.h.

perf diff: Introduce tool to show performance difference

perf session: Ditch register_perf_file_handler

2009-12-14T15:57:15Z

Pass the event_ops to perf_session__process_events instead. Also move the event_ops definition to session.h, starting to move things around to their right place, trimming the many unneeded headers we have.

perf tools: Introduce perf_session class

2009-12-12T06:42:12Z

That does all the initialization boilerplate, opening the file, reading the header, checking if it is valid, etc. And that will as well have the threads list, kmap (now) global variable, etc, so that we can handle two (or more) perf.data files describing sessions to compare.

perf tools: Allow cross compiling

2009-12-11T10:24:13Z

For embedded platforms, we want to be able to build the perf tools on a build machine to run on a different arch. This patch allows $CROSS_COMPILE to set the cross compiler. Additionally, if NO_LIBPERL is set, then don't use perl include paths as they will be for the host arch.
