2018-04-02perf tools: Add 'perf -vv' as an alias to 'perf version --build-options'Jin Yao
We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own, but they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf, libbfd/libibery. The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality. This patch provides a new option '-vv' for perf which will print the compiled-in status of libraries. The 'perf -vv' is mapped to 'perf version --build-options'. For example: $ ./perf -vv perf version 4.13.rc5.g6727c5 dwarf: [ on ] # HAVE_DWARF_SUPPORT dwarf_getlocations: [ on ] # HAVE_DWARF_GETLOCATIONS_SUPPORT glibc: [ on ] # HAVE_GLIBC_SUPPORT gtk2: [ on ] # HAVE_GTK2_SUPPORT libaudit: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT libbfd: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT libelf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBELF_SUPPORT libnuma: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBNUMA_SUPPORT numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBNUMA_SUPPORT libperl: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBPERL_SUPPORT libpython: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBPYTHON_SUPPORT libslang: [ on ] # HAVE_SLANG_SUPPORT libcrypto: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT libunwind: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ] # HAVE_DWARF_SUPPORT zlib: [ on ] # HAVE_ZLIB_SUPPORT lzma: [ on ] # HAVE_LZMA_SUPPORT get_cpuid: [ on ] # HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT v3: One bug is found in v2.

2018-01-23perf trace: Remove audit-libs dependency if syscall tables are presentHendrik Brueckner
Change the Makefile and build process to no longer require audit-libs interfaces when the architecture provides system call tables. Committer notes: Its not enough to hook into the NO_LIBAUDIT makefile block, we need to define a CONFIG_TRACE that gets selected by both architectures generating the syscall tables from the kernel headers and from detecting the availability of libaudit. With that in place we will not link against libaudit even if the necessary files are available for that, in fact we will not even try to detect its availability, speeding up a bit the feature detection phase.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-09-12perf tools: Support running perf binaries with a dash in their nameMilian Wolff
Previously the part behind "perf-" was interpreted as an internal perf command. If the suffix could not be handled, the execution was stopped. This makes it impossible to launch perf binaries that got renamed to have the `perf-` prefix. This is e.g. the case for appimages (e.g. "perf-x86_64.AppImage"), but would also apply to all other scenarios where users symlink or rename perf themselves: Status quo with the broken behavior: $ ln -s ./perf ./perf-custom-suffix $ ./perf-custom-suffix list cannot handle custom-suffix internally$ Also note the missing newline at the end of the error message. With this patch applied, the above works properly: $ ./perf-custom-suffix list List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): ...

2016-07-12tools: Introduce str_error_r()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2016-06-23perf config: Introduce new init() and exit()Taeung Song
Many sub-commands use perf_config() but everytime perf_config() is called, perf_config() always read config files. (i.e. user config '~/.perfconfig' and system config '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig') But it is better to use the config set that already contains all config key-value pairs to avoid this repetitive work reading the config files in perf_config(). (the config set mean a static variable 'config_set') In other words, if new perf_config__init() is called, only first time 'config_set' is initialized collecting all configs from the config files. And then we could use new perf_config() like old perf_config(). When a sub-command finished, free the config set by perf_config__exit() at run_builtin(). If we do, 'config_set' can be reused wherever perf_config() is called and a feature of old perf_config() is the same as new perf_config() work without the repetitive work that read the config files. In summary, in order to use features about configuration, we can call the functions at perf.c and other source files as below. # initialize a config set perf_config__init() # configure actual variables from a config set perf_config() # eliminate allocated config set perf_config__exit() # destroy existing config set and initialize a new config set. perf_config__refresh() Signed-off-by: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466691272-24117-3-git-send-email-treeze.taeung@gmail.com [ 'init' counterpart is 'exit', not 'finish' ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-10-28perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --eventWang Nan
By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file, which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for the object files. After applying this patch, commands like: # perf record --event foo.o sleep become possible. However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list, this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be removed when probing and extracting code is ready.

New interface is: char tracing_path[]; - tracing mount path char tracing_events_path[]; - tracing mount/events path void tracing_path_set(const char *mountpoint); - setting directly tracing_path(_events), used by --debugfs-dir option const char *tracing_path_mount(void); - initial setup of tracing_(events)_path, called from perf.c mounts debugfs/tracefs if needed and possible char *get_tracing_file(const char *name); void put_tracing_file(char *file); - get/put tracing file path Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Raphael Beamonte <raphael.beamonte@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441180605-24737-4-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
