Fix the following DeprecationWarning:

  tools/perf/util/setup.py:31: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives

Note: the setuptools module may need installing, for example:

  $ sudo apt install python-setuptools

James said:

Tested it with python 2.7 and 3.8 by running "make install-python_ext PYTHON=..."

Committer notes:

Tested with:

 $ make -k BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 PYTHON=python3 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin ; perf test python

 $ make -k BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin ; perf test python

Using -ffat-lto-objects in the python feature test when building with
clang-13 results in:

<title>perf python: Fix probing for some clang command line options</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dd6e1fe91cdd52774ca642d1da75b58a86356b56</id>
<content type='text'>
The clang compiler complains about some options even without a source
file being available, while others require one, so use the simple
tools/build/feature/test-hello.c file.

Then check for the "is not supported" string in its output, in addition
to the "unknown argument" already being looked for.

This was noticed when building with clang-13 where -ffat-lto-objects
isn't supported and since we were looking just for "unknown argument"
and not providing a source code to clang, was mistakenly assumed as
being available and not being filtered to set of command line options
provided to clang, leading to a build failure.

<title>perf tools: Add 'evlist' control command</title>

<id>urn:sha1:142544a938f436a6567a88d307346bfe198465b0</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events.
When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf
record terminal.

The interface string for control file is:

  evlist [-v|-g|-F]

The syntax follows perf evlist command:
  -F  Show just the sample frequency used for each event.
  -v  Show all fields.
  -g  Show event group information.

Example session:

  terminal 1:
    # mkfifo control ack
    # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}'

  terminal 2:
    # echo evlist &gt; control

  terminal 1:
    cycles
    instructions
    dummy:HG

  terminal 2:
    # echo 'evlist -v' &gt; control

  terminal 1:
    cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:            \
    IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1,    \
    sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
    instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000,      \
    sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1,    \
    sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
    dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \
    sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, mmap: 1,    \
    comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \
     bpf_event: 1

  terminal 2:
    # echo 'evlist -g' &gt; control

  terminal 1:
    {cycles,instructions}
    dummy:HG

  terminal 2:
    # echo 'evlist -F' &gt; control

  terminal 1:
    cycles: sample_freq=4000
    instructions: sample_freq=4000
    dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000

This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when
wildcards are used.

Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because
it's now evlist.c dependency.

Adding PYTHON_PERF define for python/perf.so compilation, so we
can use it to compile in only evsel__fprintf from evsel_fprintf.c
object.

The set of C compiler options used by distros to build python bindings
may include options that are unknown to clang, we check for a variety of
such options, add -fno-semantic-interposition to that mix:

This fixes the build on, among others, Manjaro Linux:

    GEN      /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so
  clang-9: error: unknown argument: '-fno-semantic-interposition'

<title>perf python: Fix clang detection to strip out options passed in $CC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9ff76cea4e9e6d49a6f764ae114fc0fb8de97816</id>
<content type='text'>
The clang check in the python setup.py file expected $CC to be just the
name of the compiler, not the compiler + options, i.e. all options were
expected to be passed in $CFLAGS, this ends up making it fail in systems
where CC is set to, e.g.:

 "aarch64-linaro-linux-gcc --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/juno-linaro-linux/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot"

Like this:

  $ python3
  &gt;&gt;&gt; from subprocess import Popen
  &gt;&gt;&gt; a = Popen(["aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/juno-linaro-linux/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot", "-v"])
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "/usr/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 729, in __init__
      restore_signals, start_new_session)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 1364, in _execute_child
      raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/juno-linaro-linux/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot': 'aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/juno-linaro-linux/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot'
  &gt;&gt;&gt;

Make it more robust, covering this case, by passing cc.split()[0] as the
first arg to popen().

<id>urn:sha1:a7ffd416d80497f03d1f62c0b330cff76a86d5ad</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the setup.py script detects the clang compiler only when invoked
with CC=clang. But when using a specific version (e.g. CC=clang-11), this
doesn't work correctly and wrong compiler flags are set, leading to build
errors.

To properly detect clang, invoke the compiler with -v and check the output.
The first line should start with "clang version ...".

Committer testing:

And here is how tools/perf/util/setup.py checks if the used clang has
options that the distro specific python extension building compiler
defaults:

  if cc_is_clang:
      from distutils.sysconfig import get_config_vars
      vars = get_config_vars()
      for var in ('CFLAGS', 'OPT'):
          vars[var] = sub("-specs=[^ ]+", "", vars[var])
          if not clang_has_option("-mcet"):
              vars[var] = sub("-mcet", "", vars[var])
          if not clang_has_option("-fcf-protection"):
              vars[var] = sub("-fcf-protection", "", vars[var])
          if not clang_has_option("-fstack-clash-protection"):
              vars[var] = sub("-fstack-clash-protection", "", vars[var])
          if not clang_has_option("-fstack-protector-strong"):
              vars[var] = sub("-fstack-protector-strong", "", vars[var])

So "-fcf-protection=full" is used, clang-9 has this option and thus it
was kept, the perf python extension was built with it and the build
completed successfully.

<title>perf tools: Add helpers to use capabilities if present</title>

Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss.  Make
perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el],
fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.

Committer notes:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : FAILED!
  $ perf test -v python
  Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 23288
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: cap_get_flag
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  $

This happens because differently from the perf binary generated with
this patch applied:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  	libcap.so.2 =&gt; /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f724a4ef000)
  $

The python binding isn't linking with libcap:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $

So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:

  $ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
    $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

Link libperf.a with python.so.

Continues to work:
