perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again

2014-04-30T15:02:30Z

arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the appropriate linker note. Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files. Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when (statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack. But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.

perf tools: Fix bfd dependency libraries detection

2014-04-30T14:48:50Z

There's false assumption in the library detection code assuming -liberty and -lz are always present once bfd is detected. The fails on Ubuntu (14.04) as reported by Ingo. Forcing the bdf dependency libraries detection any time bfd library is detected.

perf tools: Disable libdw unwind for all but x86 arch

2014-04-23T11:19:18Z

So far there's only x86 libdw unwind support merged in perf. Disable it on all other architectures in case libdw unwind support is detected in system.

perf tools: Pick up libdw without explicit LIBDW_DIR

2014-04-14T10:55:17Z

The Makefile logic sets FEATURE_CHECKS_CFLAGS-libdw-dwarf-unwind and FEATURE_CHECKS_LDFLAGS-libdw-dwarf-unwind only if LIBDW_DIR is defined. This means that under a normal setup, $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1 won't automatically pick up libdw. Fix this.

perf tools: Setup default dwarf post unwinder

2014-02-24T12:29:36Z

Factor NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND makefile variable and code that selects default DWARf post unwinder based on detected features (libdw and libunwind support) If both are detected the libunwind is selected as default. Simple 'make' will try to add: - libunwind unwinder if present - libdw unwinder if present - disable dwarf unwind if non of libunwind and libdw libraries are present If one of the DWARF unwind libraries is detected, message is displayed which one (libunwind/libdw) is compiled in. Examples: - compile in libdw unwinder if present: $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1 - compile in libdw (with libdw installation directory) unwinder if present: $ make LIBDW_DIR=/opt/elfutils/ NO_LIBUNWIND=1 BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ on ] ... glibc: [ on ] ... gtk2: [ on ] ... libaudit: [ on ] ... libbfd: [ on ] ... libelf: [ on ] ... libnuma: [ on ] ... libperl: [ on ] ... libpython: [ on ] ... libslang: [ on ] ... libunwind: [ on ] ... libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ] ...

perf tools: Add libdw DWARF post unwind support

2014-02-24T12:29:36Z

Adding libdw DWARF post unwind support, which is part of elfutils-devel/libdw-dev package from version 0.158. The new code is contained in unwin-libdw.c object, and implements unwind__get_entries unwind interface function. New Makefile variable NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND was added to control its compilation, and is marked as disabled now. It's factored with the rest of the Makefile unwind build code in the next patch. Arch specific code was added for x86.
