libtraceevent: Allow custom libdir path

2019-12-16T16:40:26+00:00

When I use prefix=/usr and try to install libtraceevent in my laptop it
tries to install in /usr/lib64. I am not having any folder as /usr/lib64
and also the debian policy doesnot allow installing in /usr/lib64. It
should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.

Quote: No package for a 64 bit architecture may install files in
	/usr/lib64/ or in a subdirectory of it.

ref: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html

Make it more flexible by allowing to mention libdir_relative while
installing so that distros can mention the path according to their
policy or use the default one.

selftests/bpf: Bring back c++ include/link test

2019-12-05T01:57:55+00:00

Commit 5c26f9a78358 ("libbpf: Don't use cxx to test_libpf target")
converted existing c++ test to c. We still want to include and
link against libbpf from c++ code, so reinstate this test back,
this time in a form of a selftest with a clear comment about
its purpose.

libtraceevent: Copy pkg-config file to output folder when using O=

2019-12-03T00:58:20+00:00

When we use 'O=' with make to build libtraceevent in a separate folder
it still copies 'libtraceevent.pc' to its source folder. Modify the
Makefile so that it uses the output folder to copy the pkg-config file
and install from there.

libtraceevent: Fix lib installation with O=

2019-12-03T00:58:20+00:00

When we use 'O=' with make to build libtraceevent in a separate folder
it fails to install libtraceevent.a and libtraceevent.so.1.1.0 with the
error:

  INSTALL  /home/sudip/linux/obj-trace/libtraceevent.a
  INSTALL  /home/sudip/linux/obj-trace/libtraceevent.so.1.1.0

  cp: cannot stat 'libtraceevent.a': No such file or directory
  Makefile:225: recipe for target 'install_lib' failed
  make: *** [install_lib] Error 1

I used the command:

  make O=../../../obj-trace DESTDIR=~/test prefix==/usr  install

It turns out libtraceevent Makefile, even though it builds in a separate
folder, searches for libtraceevent.a and libtraceevent.so.1.1.0 in its
source folder.

So, add the 'OUTPUT' prefix to the source path so that 'make' looks for
the files in the correct place.

2) Fix libbpf global variable relocation to take symbol's st_value offset
   into account, from Andrii Nakryiko.

3) Fix libbpf build on powerpc where check_abi target fails due to different
   readelf output format, from Aurelien Jarno.

4) Don't set BPF insns RO for the case when they are JITed in order to avoid
   fragmenting the direct map, from Daniel Borkmann.

5) Fix static checker warning in btf_distill_func_proto() as well as a build
   error due to empty enum when BPF is compiled out, from Alexei Starovoitov.

libbpf: Fix readelf output parsing on powerpc with recent binutils

2019-12-02T09:31:54+00:00

On powerpc with recent versions of binutils, readelf outputs an extra
field when dumping the symbols of an object file. For example:

    35: 0000000000000838    96 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT [: 8]     1 btf_is_struct

The extra "[: 8]" prevents the GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT variable to
be computed correctly and causes the check_abi target to fail.

Fix that by looking for the symbol name in the last field instead of the
8th one. This way it should also cope with future extra fields.

libbpf: Fix sym->st_value print on 32-bit arches

2019-11-28T01:46:56+00:00

The st_value field is a 64-bit value and causing this error on 32-bit arches:

In file included from libbpf.c:52:
libbpf.c: In function 'bpf_program__record_reloc':
libbpf_internal.h:59:22: error: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'Elf64_Addr' {aka 'const long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=]

libbpf: Fix up generation of bpf_helper_defs.h

2019-11-28T00:52:31+00:00

  $ make -C tools/perf build-test

does, ends up with these two problems:

  make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h', needed by 'bpf_helper_defs.h'.  Stop.
  make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:757: /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.a] Error 2
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Because $(srcdir) points to the /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0 directory
and we need '/tools/ after that variable, and after fixing this then we
get to another problem:

  /bin/sh: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py: No such file or directory
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:184: bpf_helper_defs.h] Error 127
  make[3]: *** Deleting file 'bpf_helper_defs.h'

  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:778: /tmp/build/perf/libbpf.a] Error 2
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Because this requires something outside the tools/ directories that gets
collected into perf's detached tarballs, to fix it just add it to
tools/perf/MANIFEST, which this patch does, now it works for that case
and also for all these other cases.

libbpf: Fix global variable relocation

2019-11-28T00:34:21+00:00

Similarly to a0d7da26ce86 ("libbpf: Fix call relocation offset calculation
bug"), relocations against global variables need to take into account
referenced symbol's st_value, which holds offset into a corresponding data
section (and, subsequently, offset into internal backing map). For static
variables this offset is always zero and data offset is completely described
by respective instruction's imm field.

Convert a bunch of selftests to global variables. Previously they were relying
on `static volatile` trick to ensure Clang doesn't inline static variables,
which with global variables is not necessary anymore.
