perf: build: Setup PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR for cross compilation

2025-07-17T16:35:11+00:00

commit 440cf77625e300e683ca0edc39fbc4b6f3175feb upstream. On recent Linux distros like Ubuntu Noble and Debian Bookworm, the 'pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu' package is missing. As a result, the aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config command is not available, which causes build failures. When a build passes the environment variables PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR or PKG_CONFIG_PATH, like a user uses make command or a build system (like Yocto, Buildroot, etc) prepares the variables and passes to the Perf's Makefile, the commit keeps these variables for package configuration. Otherwise, this commit sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR variable to use the Multiarch libs for the cross compilation.

perf bpf: Clean up the generated/copied vmlinux.h

2024-03-26T22:19:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit ffd856537b95dd65facb4e0c78ca1cb92c2048ff ] When building perf with BPF skels we either copy the minimalistic tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/vmlinux/vmlinux.h or use bpftool to generate a vmlinux from BTF, storing the result in $(SKEL_OUT)/vmlinux.h. We need to remove that when doing a 'make -C tools/perf clean', fix it.

perf build: Add missing comment about NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1

2023-11-20T10:59:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit c1783ddfb62420c44cdf4672dad2046f056c624b ] By default perf will fail the build if the development files for libtraceevent are not available. To build perf without libtraceevent support, disabling several features such as 'perf trace', one needs to add NO_LIBTRACEVENT=1 to the make command line. Add the missing comments about that to the tools/perf/Makefile.perf file, just like all the other such command line toggles.

perf build: Allow customization of clang options for BPF target

2023-08-23T18:33:18+00:00

This also puts an unconditional -Werror under control of WERROR. The clang includes added during the build can lead to a warning that may be turned into an error.

perf trace: Migrate BPF augmentation to use a skeleton

2023-08-15T19:41:48+00:00

Previously a BPF event of augmented_raw_syscalls.c could be used to enable augmentation of syscalls by perf trace. As BPF events are no longer supported, switch to using a BPF skeleton which when attached explicitly opens the sysenter and sysexit tracepoints. The dump map is removed as debugging wasn't supported by the augmentation and bpf_printk can be used when necessary. Remove tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c so that the rename/migration to a BPF skeleton captures that this was the source. Committer notes: Some minor stylistic changes to help visualizing the diff. Use libbpf_strerror when failing to load the augmented raw syscalls BPF. Use bpf_object__for_each_program(prog, trace.skel->obj) to disable auto attachment for all but the sys_enter, sys_exit tracepoints, to avoid having to add extra lines as we go adding support for more pointer receiving syscalls.

perf bpf: Remove support for embedding clang for compiling BPF events (-e foo.c)

Perf build suports llvm and clang support compiled in. Test case 56 builtin clang support provides a test case which is always skipped. Link perf with the latest llvm and clang libraries and enable this test case. Use 'make LIBCLANGLLVM=1' to include this support.
