perf tools: Revert regression in configuration of Python support

2013-08-04T08:51:17+00:00

commit a363a9da65d253fa7354ce5fd630f4f94df934cc upstream.

Among other things, the following:

  commit 31160d7feab786c991780d7f0ce2755a469e0e5e
  Date:   Tue Jan 8 16:22:36 2013 -0500
  perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue

attempts to aid the user by tapping into an existing error message,
as described in the commit message:

  ... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
  one argument. This prevented the error message from printing
  the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem.

or more precisely:

  -$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2)))
  +$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2),$(1)))

However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's
absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because
the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied
value.  This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the
config/utilities.mak file):

  _ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
  _gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.)
  _gea_err  = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))

That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)'
(associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always
triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for
only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value.

Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration
of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the
relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the
build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied
the values.

This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change.

perf tools: Remove dependency on libnewt

2013-04-01T15:23:21+00:00

Now that the map browser shares the input routine with the hists
browser, there is no need for using any libnewt routine, so remove all
traces except for honouring NO_NEWT=1 on the makefile command line as an
indication that TUI support is not needed, in fact it just sets
NO_SLANG=1.

perf tools: Make numa benchmark optional

2013-01-30T13:36:21+00:00

Commit "perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem'..." added a NUMA performance
benchmark to perf. Make this optional and test for required
dependencies.

perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue

2013-01-24T19:40:17+00:00

According to Documentation/Changes, the kernel should be buildable with
GNU make 3.80+. tools/perf/config/utilities.mak contains the "$(or"
construct, which requires make 3.81.  This causes "make" to fail on
systems with GNU make 3.80.

Replace "$(or" with an equivalent "$(if" expression, to restore backward
compatibility. Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing the name of
the variable that can be used to fix the problem.

perf tools: Always show CHK message when doing try-cc

2012-10-26T13:22:24+00:00

It might be useful to see what's happening behind us rather than just
waiting few seconds during the config checking.

Also align the CHK message with other ones.

perf tools: Remove noise in python version feature test

2012-10-24T16:20:10+00:00

Now that the feature tests honours the V=1 make verbosity switch, add a
return to the main() routine in the python version test, to avoid this
distraction:

perf tools: Diplays more output on features check for make V=1

2012-10-24T16:20:10+00:00

Adding more verbose output for compile time features checking, to ease
up debuging of feature detection failures.

perf tools: Update Makefile for Android

2012-10-08T20:42:16+00:00

For cross-compiling on Android, some specific changes are needed in
the Makefile.

Update the Makefile to support cross-compiling for Android.
The original ideea for this was send by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316, but this is a rewrite.

Changes:
() support bionic in addition to glibc
() remove rt and pthread libraries that do not exist in Android
() use $(CFLAGS) when detecting initial compiler flags. This is needed
when setting CFLAGS as an argument of make (e.g. for setting --sysroot).
() include perf's local directory when building for Android to be able to find
relative paths if using --sysroot (e.g.: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h)

perf tools: Add on_exit implementation

2012-10-08T20:38:25+00:00

on_exit() is only available in new versions of glibc.
It is not implemented in Bionic and will lead to linking errors when
compiling for Android.

Implement a wrapper for on_exit using atexit.

The implementation for on_exit is the one sent by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316. The configuration part from the Makefile
is different than the one from the original patch.

perf tools: Check libaudit availability for perf-trace builtin

2012-09-27T13:56:40+00:00

The newly added trace command requires an external audit library.

However it can cause a build error because it's not checked whether the
libaudit is installed on system:

    CC builtin-trace.o
  builtin-trace.c:7:22: fatal error: libaudit.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  make: *** [builtin-trace.o] Error 1
