perf tools, x86: Fix 32-bit compile on 64-bit system

2011-08-05T04:58:35+00:00

commit 08a4a43fc407d780bdde36d98f89c0dbb2a6be6b upstream.

Builds for 32-bit perf binaries on a 64-bit host currently fail
with this error:

 [...]
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:29: Error: bad register name `%rdi'
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:34: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `movs'
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:50: Error: bad register name `%rdi'
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:61: Error: bad register name `%rdi'
 ...

The problem is the detection of the host arch without considering passed in
flags. This change fixes 32-bit builds via:

make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-m32

and 64-bit builds still reference the memcpy_64.S.

tools/perf: Fix static build of perf tool

2011-06-16T08:17:39+00:00

To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed
libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols
resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt
support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an
unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs
libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in
the long run without the need to keep track of transitive
library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS
multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

perf tools: Makefile: Use gcc to determine ARCH

2011-05-07T09:40:59+00:00

The original Makefile uses "uname -m" to determine ARCH.
This causes problem on x86 when compile perf tool on 32 bit
userspace with a 64 bit kernel.

 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:28: Error: bad register name `%rdi'

This is because "uname -m" returns x86_64 and memcpy_64.S is
included in 32 bit build.

perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibility

2011-04-19T11:18:36+00:00

Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:

  python{,-config}

The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.

However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:

  python2{,-config}

Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.

This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.

In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

Thanks to:

  Raghavendra D Prabhu 

for motivating this patch.

perf tools: Makefile: Clean up `python/perf.so' rule

2011-04-19T11:18:36+00:00

There is no need for a subshell or an explicit `export';
as per the POSIX Shell Command Language specification:

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_01
  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_10_02

It is only necessary to include the environment variable
assignment just before the command to be run.

Also, it is better to use single-quotes, because GNU make
might expand `$(BASIC_CFLAGS)' into something that the shell
could interpret within double-quotes.

perf tools: Fix NO_NEWT=1 python build error

2011-03-29T19:46:57+00:00

Fix the following build error:

     GEN python/perf.so
 In file included from util/evsel.h:10,
                  from util/python.c:6:
 util/hist.h:106:18: error: newt.h: No such file or directory
 error: command 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
 make: *** [python/perf.so] Error 1

by passing BASIC_CFLAGS to setup.py. BASIC_CFLAGS variable contains
the -DNO_NEWT_SUPPORT switch which prevents building python c
extension with newt.
