tools build: Align warning options with perf

2025-10-19T14:23:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 53d067feb8c4f16d1f24ce3f4df4450bb18c555f ] The feature test programs are built without enabling '-Wall -Werror' options. As a result, a feature may appear to be available, but later building in perf can fail with stricter checks. Make the feature test program use the same warning options as perf.

perf cs-etm: Bump minimum OpenCSD version to ensure a bugfix is present

2024-02-05T20:12:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2dbba30fd69b604802a9535b74bddb5bcca23793 ] Since commit d927ef5004ef ("perf cs-etm: Add exception level consistency check"), the exception that was added to Perf will be triggered unless the following bugfix from OpenCSD is present: - _Version 1.2.1_: - __Bugfix__: ETM4x / ETE - output of context elements to client can in some circumstances be delayed until after subsequent atoms have been processed leading to incorrect memory decode access via the client callbacks. Fixed to flush context elements immediately they are committed. Rather than remove the assert and silently fail, just increase the minimum version requirement to avoid hard to debug issues and regressions.

perf bpf: Fix build with libbpf 0.7.0 by checking if bpf_program__set_insns() is available

2022-10-25T20:40:48+00:00

During the transition to libbpf 1.0 some functions that perf used were deprecated and finally removed from libbpf, so bpf_program__set_insns() was introduced for perf to continue to use its bpf loader. But when build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 we now need to check if that function is available so that perf can build with older libbpf versions, even if the end result is emitting a warning to the user that the use of the perf BPF loader requires a newer libbpf, since bpf_program__set_insns() touches libbpf objects internal state. This affects only 'perf trace' when using bpf C code or pre-compiled bytecode as an event. Noticed on RHEL9, that has libbpf 0.7.0, where bpf_program__set_insns() isn't available.

tools build: Switch to new openssl API for test-libcrypto

2022-08-10T13:44:02+00:00

Switch to new EVP API for detecting libcrypto, as Fedora 36 returns an error when it encounters the deprecated function MD5_Init() and the others. The error would be interpreted as missing libcrypto, while in reality it is not.

tools, build: Retry detection of bfd-related features

2022-08-10T13:44:01+00:00

While separate features have been defined to determine which linking flags are required to use libbfd depending on the distribution (libbfd, libbfd-liberty and libbfd-liberty-z), the same has not been done for other features requiring linking to libbfd. For example, disassembler-four-args requires linking to libbfd too, but it should use the right linking flags. If not all the required ones are specified, e.g. -liberty, detection will always fail even if the feature is available. Instead of creating new features, similarly to libbfd, simply retry detection with the different set of flags until detection succeeds (or fails, if the libraries are missing). In this way, feature detection is transparent for the users of this building mechanism (e.g. perf), and those users don't have for example to set an appropriate value for the FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-disassembler-four-args variable. The number of retries and features for which the retry mechanism is implemented is low enough to make the increase in the complexity of Makefile negligible. Tested with perf and bpftool on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, Fedora 36 and openSUSE Tumbleweed. Committer notes: Do the retry for disassembler-init-styled as well.

perf build: Suppress openssl v3 deprecation warnings in libcrypto feature test

2022-08-02T19:32:28+00:00

With OpenSSL v3 installed, the libcrypto feature check fails as it use the deprecated MD5_* API (and is compiled with -Werror). The error message is as follows. $ make tools/perf ``` Makefile.config:778: No libcrypto.h found, disables jitted code injection, please install openssl-devel or libssl-dev Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ on ] ... dwarf_getlocations: [ on ] ... glibc: [ on ] ... libbfd: [ on ] ... libbfd-buildid: [ on ] ... libcap: [ on ] ... libelf: [ on ] ... libnuma: [ on ] ... numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on ] ... libperl: [ on ] ... libpython: [ on ] ... libcrypto: [ OFF ] ... libunwind: [ on ] ... libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ] ... zlib: [ on ] ... lzma: [ on ] ... get_cpuid: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] ... libaio: [ on ] ... libzstd: [ on ] ... disassembler-four-args: [ on ] ``` This is very confusing because the suggested library (on my Ubuntu 20.04 it is libssl-dev) is already installed. As the test only checks for the presence of libcrypto, this commit suppresses the deprecation warning to allow the test to pass.

tools build: Add feature test for init_disassemble_info API changes

2022-08-01T18:29:10+00:00

binutils changed the signature of init_disassemble_info(), which now causes compilation failures for tools/{perf,bpf}, e.g. on debian unstable. Relevant binutils commit: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=60a3da00bd5407f07 This commit adds a feature test to detect the new signature. Subsequent commits will use it to fix the build failures.
