perf llvm: Extract helpers in llvm-utils.c

2016-12-05T18:51:42+00:00

The following commits will use builtin clang to compile BPF scripts.

llvm__get_kbuild_opts() and llvm__get_nr_cpus() are extracted to help
building '-DKERNEL_VERSION_CODE' and '-D__NR_CPUS__' macros.

Doing object dumping in bpf loader, so further builtin clang compiling
needn't consider it.

perf tools: Remove needless includes from cache.h

2016-07-12T18:19:58+00:00

The cache.h header doesn't use any of the definitions in some of the
headers it includes, ditch them and fix the fallout, where files were
getting stuff they needed just because they were including it, sometimes
not using what it really exports at all.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

2016-07-12T18:19:47+00:00

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf config: Move config declarations from util/cache.h to util/config.h

2016-06-23T11:51:41+00:00

Lately util/config.h has been added but util/cache.h has declarations of
functions and a global variable for config features.

To manage codes about configuration at one spot, move them to
util/config.h and let source files that need config features include
config.h And if the source files that included previous cache.h need
only config.h, remove including cache.h.

perf llvm: Allow dump llvm output object file using llvm.dump-obj

2016-06-21T16:18:34+00:00

Add a 'llvm.dump-obj' config option to enable perf dump BPF object files
compiled by LLVM.

This option is useful when using BPF objects in embedded platforms.
LLVM compiler won't be deployed in these platforms, and currently we
don't support dynamic compiling library.

Before this patch users have to explicitly issue llvm commands to
compile BPF scripts, and can't use helpers (like include path detection
and default macros) in perf. With this option, user is allowed to use
perf to compile their BPF objects then copy them into their embedded
platforms.

Committer notice:

Testing it:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
	dump-obj = true
  #
  # ls -la filter.o
  ls: cannot access filter.o: No such file or directory

  #include 
  #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))

  SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_nsec")
  int func(void *ctx, int err, long nsec)
  {
	return nsec > 1000;
  }
  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;

perf tools: Make fetch_kernel_version() publicly available

2015-11-06T18:57:18+00:00

There are 2 places in llvm-utils.c which find kernel version information
through uname. This patch extracts the uname related code into a
fetch_kernel_version() function and puts it into util.h so it can be
reused.

perf llvm: Pass LINUX_VERSION_CODE to BPF program when compiling

2015-11-05T15:47:50+00:00

Arnaldo suggests to make LINUX_VERSION_CODE works like __func__ and
__FILE__ so user don't need to care setting right linux version too
much. In this patch, perf llvm transfers LINUX_VERSION_CODE macro
through clang cmdline.

Committer notes:

Before, forgetting to update the version:

  int fork(void *ctx)

          return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40200;
  #
  # perf record -e bpf.c sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'bpf.c'
                       \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?
