perf tools: Allow to specify lib compile variable for spec usage

2014-09-17T20:08:08+00:00

We need a way to specify $(lib) part of the installation path for traceevent plugin libraries. Currently we use 'lib64' for x86_64 and 'lib' otherwise. Instead of listing all possible values, this change allows the rpm spec code to specify the correct $(lib) part based on processed architecture, like $ make ... lib=%{_lib} Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Kyle McMartin Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Kyle McMartin Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1408978552-17131-1-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools powerpc: Fix build issue when DWARF support is disabled

2014-09-17T20:08:07+00:00

The powerpc skip callchain code uses DWARF, so we must disable it if DWARF is disabled.

perf tools: Default to python version 2

2014-08-12T15:03:08+00:00

According to PEP 394 recommendation [1], it's more portable to use python2 rather than plain python to refer python binary version 2. Since there're distros using python3 by default like Arch, and we don't support python3 (yet), it'd be better using python2 explicitly. But older versions (prior to 2.7) seem not to provide python2 but just python. Given that it's only old version, try python2 first and then fallback to python. It'll ensure that it always points to python 2.x. I tested (compiles and perf script runs) with the combinations: 1) python -> python2.x, python-config -> python2.x-config python2 N/A, python2-config N/A 2) python -> python3.x, python-config -> python3.x-config python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config 3) python -> python2.x, python-config -> python2.x-config python2 -> python2.x, python2-config -> python2.x-config 4) python -> python2.x, python-config -> python2.x-config python2 -> python2.x, python2-config N/A Based on / replaces the patch 2/2 by Namhyung Kim.

perf tools: Fix make PYTHON override

2014-08-12T15:03:04+00:00

Thomas reported that make PYTHON=python2 is not work on some systems. I can reproduce it on my ArchLinux box too. This is because it's overridden by config/feature-checks/Makefile regardless of PYTHON setting. I guess it's a bug slipped into during the feature checking change. Actually, we don't need to check python-config in the feature-checks. We can just pass appropriate FEATURE_CHECK_*FLAGS.

perf kvm: Introduce HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT flag

kvm stat support is currently conditional on i386/x86_64. Let's abstract this into a HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT flag, so that other architectures can support kvm stat as well.

perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug info

2014-06-27T09:14:51+00:00

When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine when the entries are needed. Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored. If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs in the call-graphs. Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries should be ignored when building call-graphs. Callgraph before the patch: 14.67% 2234 sprintft libc-2.18.so [.] __random | --- __random | |--61.12%-- __random | | | |--97.15%-- rand | | do_my_sprintf | | main | | generic_start_main.isra.0 | | __libc_start_main | | 0x0 | | | --2.85%-- do_my_sprintf | main | generic_start_main.isra.0 | __libc_start_main | 0x0 | --38.88%-- rand | |--94.01%-- rand | do_my_sprintf | main | generic_start_main.isra.0 | __libc_start_main | 0x0 | --5.99%-- do_my_sprintf main generic_start_main.isra.0 __libc_start_main 0x0 Callgraph after the patch: 14.67% 2234 sprintft libc-2.18.so [.] __random | --- __random | |--95.93%-- rand | do_my_sprintf | main | generic_start_main.isra.0 | __libc_start_main | 0x0 | --4.07%-- do_my_sprintf main generic_start_main.isra.0 __libc_start_main 0x0 TODO: For split-debug info objects like glibc, we can only determine the call-frame-address only when both .eh_frame and .debug_info sections are available. We should be able to determin the CFA even without the .eh_frame section. Fix suggested by Anton Blanchard. Thanks to valuable input on DWARF debug information from Ulrich Weigand.

When the user does: make -C tools/perf LDFLAGS=-static asking for a static build, and the glibc-static (or equivalent) is not found, the message wasn't clear, stating that one of glibc-devel or glibc-static wasn't installed, clarify it checking if -static is present in LDFLAGS.

perf tools: Fix 'make help' message error

2014-06-03T19:35:12+00:00

Currently 'make help' message has such hint: use "make prefix= " to install to a particular path like make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc But this is misleading, when I specify "prefix=/usr/local", it has got no respect at all. This is because that, "DESTDIR" is considered first. In this case, "DESTDIR" has an empty value, so "prefix" is honored. However, "prefix" is unconditionally assigned to $HOME, regardless of what it is set to from command line. So our "prefix" setting got no respect and the actual destination falls back to $HOME. This patch fixes this issue and corrects the help message.
