2026-03-04libperf build: Always place libperf includes firstIan Rogers1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit 8c5b40678c63be6b85f1c2dc8c8b89d632faf988 ] When building tools/perf the CFLAGS can contain a directory for the installed headers. As the headers may be being installed while building libperf.a this can cause headers to be partially installed and found in the include path while building an object file for libperf.a. The installed header may reference other installed headers that are missing given the partial nature of the install and then the build fails with a missing header file. Avoid this by ensuring the libperf source headers are always first in the CFLAGS.

2026-03-04libperf: Don't remove -g when EXTRA_CFLAGS are usedJames Clark1-9/+3
[ Upstream commit f5b07010c13c77541e8ade167d05bef3b8a63739 ] When using EXTRA_CFLAGS, for example "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DREFCNT_CHECKING=1", this construct stops setting -g which you'd expect would not be affected by adding extra flags. Additionally, EXTRA_CFLAGS should be the last thing to be appended so that it can be used to undo any defaults. And no condition is required, just += appends to any existing CFLAGS and also appends or doesn't append EXTRA_CFLAGS if they are or aren't set. It's not clear why DEBUG=1 is required for -g in Perf when in libperf it's always on, but I don't think we need to change that behavior now because someone may be depending on it.

2023-04-17perf cpumap: Add reference count checkingIan Rogers1-1/+1
Enabled when REFCNT_CHECKING is defined. The change adds a memory allocated pointer that is interposed between the reference counted cpu map at a get and freed by a put. The pointer replaces the original perf_cpu_map struct, so use of the perf_cpu_map via APIs remains unchanged. Any use of the cpu map without the API requires two versions, handled via the RC_CHK_ACCESS macro. This change is intended to catch: - use after put: using a cpumap after you have put it will cause a segv. - unbalanced puts: two puts for a get will result in a double free that can be captured and reported by tools like address sanitizer, including with the associated stack traces of allocation and frees. - missing puts: if a put is missing then the get turns into a memory leak that can be reported by leak sanitizer, including the stack trace at the point the get occurs.

2022-12-14tools lib perf: Add dependency test to install_headersIan Rogers1-21/+22
Compute the headers to be installed from their source headers and make each have its own build target to install it. Using dependencies avoids headers being reinstalled and getting a new timestamp which then causes files that depend on the header to be rebuilt.

2022-02-15kbuild: replace $(if A,A,B) with $(or A,B)Masahiro Yamada1-1/+1
$(or ...) is available since GNU Make 3.81, and useful to shorten the code in some places. Covert as follows: $(if A,A,B) --> $(or A,B) This patch also converts: $(if A, A, B) --> $(or A, B) Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B) expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A". Anyway, preceding spaces are not significant in the code hunks I touched. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier <nicolas@fjasle.eu>

Add 3 man pages to have a base for more additions: libperf.3 - overall description libperf-counting.7 - counting basics explained on simple example libperf-sampling.7 - sampling basics explained on simple example The plan is to add more man pages to cover the basic API. The build generates html and man pages: $ cd tools/lib/perf/Documentation $ make ASCIIDOC libperf.xml XMLTO libperf.3 ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.xml XMLTO libperf-counting.7 ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.xml XMLTO libperf-sampling.7 ASCIIDOC libperf.html ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.html ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.html Add the following install targets: install-man - man pages install-html - html version of man pages install-examples - examples mentioned in the man pages Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191206210612.8676-3-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
