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

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

This never was in the default build for perf, is difficult to maintain as it uses clang/llvm internals so ditch it, keeping, for now, the external compilation of .c BPF into .o bytecode and its subsequent loading, that is also going to be removed, do it separately to help bisection and to properly document what is being removed and why. Committer notes: Extracted from a larger patch and removed some leftovers, namely deleting these now unused feature tests: tools/build/feature/test-clang.cpp tools/build/feature/test-cxx.cpp tools/build/feature/test-llvm-version.cpp tools/build/feature/test-llvm.cpp Testing the use of BPF events after applying this patch: To use the external clang/llvm toolchain to compile a .c event and then use libbpf to load it, to get the syscalls:sys_enter_open* tracepoints and read the filename pointer, putting it into the ring buffer right after the usual tracepoint payload for 'perf trace' to then print it: [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c,open* --max-events=10 0.000 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 0.083 abrt-dump-jour/1453 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.063 abrt-dump-jour/1454 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.082 abrt-dump-jour/1455 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 250.124 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 250.521 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/app.slice/memory.pressure", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.047 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/app.slice/memory.current", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.162 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/app.slice/memory.min", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.242 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/app.slice/memory.low", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.353 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/app.slice/memory.swap.current", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 [root@quaco ~]# Same thing, but with a prebuilt .o BPF bytecode: [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o,open* --max-events=10 0.000 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 0.083 abrt-dump-jour/1453 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.083 abrt-dump-jour/1455 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.062 abrt-dump-jour/1454 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 249.985 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 466.763 thermald/1234 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/intel-rapl:0:2/energy_uj") = 13 467.145 thermald/1234 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/energy_uj") = 13 467.311 thermald/1234 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp") = 13 500.040 cgroupify/24006 openat(dfd: 4, filename: ".", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|DIRECTORY|NONBLOCK) = 5 500.295 cgroupify/24006 openat(dfd: 4, filename: "24616/cgroup.procs") = 5 [root@quaco ~]# Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Andrii Nakryiko Cc: Anshuman Khandual Cc: Athira Rajeev Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Carsten Haitzler Cc: Eduard Zingerman Cc: Fangrui Song Cc: He Kuang Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Leo Yan Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Nathan Chancellor Cc: "Naveen N.

perf tests: Make x86 new instructions test optional at build time

2023-06-14T02:40:32+00:00

The "x86 instruction decoder - new instructions" test takes up space but is only really useful to developers. Make it optional at build time. Add variable EXTRA_TESTS which must be defined in order to build perf with the test. Example: Before: $ make -C tools/perf clean >/dev/null $ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null Makefile.config:650: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR Makefile.config:1149: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev PERF_VERSION = 6.4.rc3.gd15b8c76c964 $ readelf -SW tools/perf/perf | grep '\.rela.dyn\|.rodata\|\.data.rel.ro' [10] .rela.dyn RELA 000000000002fcb0 02fcb0 0748b0 18 A 6 0 8 [18] .rodata PROGBITS 00000000002eb000 2eb000 6bac00 00 A 0 0 32 [25] .data.rel.ro PROGBITS 00000000009ea180 9e9180 04b540 00 WA 0 0 32 After: $ make -C tools/perf clean >/dev/null $ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null Makefile.config:650: No libunwind found.

perf build: If libtraceevent isn't present error the build

If libtraceevent isn't present, the build will warn and continue. This disables a number of features and so isn't desirable. This change makes the build error for this case. The build can still be made to happen by adding NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1.

2023-03-14T11:29:46+00:00

binutils is GPLv3 so distributions cannot ship perf linked against libbfd and libiberty as the licenses are incompatible. Rather than defaulting the build to opting in to libbfd and libiberty support and opting out via NO_LIBBFD=1 and NO_DEMANGLE=1, make building against the libraries optional and enabled with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.
