Thomas Backlund reported that the perf build was failing on the Mageia 7
distro, that is because it uses:

  cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-disassembler-four-args.make.output
  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libbfd.a(plugin.o): in function `try_load_plugin':
  /home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILD/binutils-2.32/objs/bfd/../../bfd/plugin.c:243:

  /usr/bin/ld:

  /usr/bin/ld:

  /home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILD/binutils-2.32/objs/bfd/../../bfd/plugin.c:246:
  undefined reference to `dlerror'
  as we allow dynamic linking and loading

Mageia 7 uses these linker flags:
  $ rpm --eval %ldflags
    -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--build-id -Wl,--enable-new-dtags

So add -ldl to this feature LDFLAGS.

<content type='text'>
Commit 003ca0fd2286 ("Refactor disassembler selection") in the binutils
repo, which changed the disassembler() function signature, so we must
use the feature test introduced in fb982666e380 ("tools/bpftool: fix
bpftool build with bintutils &gt;= 2.9") to deal with that.

Committer testing:

After adding the missing function call to test-all.c, and:

  FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-disassembler-four-args = -bfd -lopcodes

And the fallbacks for cases where we need -liberty and sometimes -lz to
tools/perf/Makefile.config, we get:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/builtin-bench.o
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  $
  $

The feature detection test-all.bin gets successfully built and linked:

  $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin
  -rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 2680352 Mar 19 11:07 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin
  $ nm /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin  | grep -w disassembler
  0000000000061f90 T disassembler
  $

Time to move on to the patches that make use of this disassembler()
routine in binutils's libopcodes.

Both libbfd and libopcodes are distributed with binutil-dev/devel. When
libbfd is present, it is OK to assume that libopcodes also present. This
has been a safe assumption for bpftool.

This patch adds -lopcodes to perf/Makefile.config. libopcodes will be
used in the next commit for BPF annotation.

<title>perf build: Add missing FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libcrypto</title>

<id>urn:sha1:271402a3e97e3b9a4ce1e322a5f66c493122e1ec</id>
<content type='text'>
When the libcrypto feature test was added we forgot to add its
FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS pointing to the library needed to link with the
test-all.bin feature test fast path binary, so even when it was
introduced we got this:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccjKeJJU.o: in function `main_test_libcrypto':
  /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/feature/test-libcrypto.c:10: undefined reference to `MD5_Init'

  /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/feature/test-libcrypto.c:12: undefined reference to `MD5_Final'
  /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/feature/test-libcrypto.c:14: undefined reference to `SHA1'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libcrypto.
  test-libcrypto.bin          test-libcrypto.d            test-libcrypto.make.output
  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libcrypto.make.output
  $

Fix it, so that we keep the fast path, which, at this point, will fail
with the unwind-ARCH feature tests, that will be fixed in a followup
patch:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
  ...                     libcrypto: [ on  ]
   &lt;SNIP&gt;
  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin | grep libcrypto
	libcrypto.so.1.1 =&gt; /lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007f9892805000)
  $
  $ grep libcrypto /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-libcrypto=1
  $

With the unwind-ARCH tests fixed, we now finally manage to get
test-all.bin built and linked with the features it tests, among them the
ones fixed in this patchkit:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin  | egrep 'unwind|crypto'
	libcrypto.so.1.1 =&gt; /lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007f95cf2b8000)
	libunwind-x86_64.so.8 =&gt; /lib64/libunwind-x86_64.so.8 (0x00007f95cf294000)
	libunwind.so.8 =&gt; /lib64/libunwind.so.8 (0x00007f95cf278000)

<title>perf unwind: Do not put libunwind-{x86,aarch64} in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5c4d7c82c0dceccfdcf37062bd100322a69bd160</id>
<content type='text'>
As it is not normally available on x86_64 not being tested on test-all.c
but being in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC ends up implying that those features
are present, which leads to trying to link with those libraries and a
build failure now that test-all.c is finally again building
successfully:

  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind-x86
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind-aarch64
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:199: /tmp/build/perf/plugin_jbd2.so] Error 1
  make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind-x86
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind-aarch64

So remove those features from there and explicitely test them.

And then move this patch to just before the last one that allows this to
be exposed, so that we keep the tree bisectable.

With all this in place we get, at this point:

<title>perf coresight: Do not test for libopencsd by default</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1c3b28fd7ae80c8f6bf1a09e1848e20a953c9ce4</id>
<content type='text'>
Since it is not yet that generally available, avoid testing for the
presence of libcoresight in the fast path test-all.bin feature test.

  # dnf search opencsd
  No matches found.
  # dnf search OpenCSD
  No matches found.
  # cat /etc/fedora-release
  Fedora release 29 (Twenty Nine)
  #

I.e. right now, in my system test-all.bin is failing all the time since
Fedora29 doesn't have libopencsd available:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  In file included from test-all.c:174:
  test-libopencsd.c:2:10: fatal error: opencsd/c_api/opencsd_c_api.h: No such file or directory
   #include &lt;opencsd/c_api/opencsd_c_api.h&gt;
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.

See:

  6ab2b762befd ("perf build: Disable libbabeltrace check by default")

For the rationale, as soon as libopencsd becomes more generally packaged
and available, we do the same thing we did with babeltrace, enabling it
by default, as done in:

  24787afbcd01 ("perf tools: Enable LIBBABELTRACE by default")

For now, to explicitely ask for opencsd, make sure you have it installed
and use:

   make -C tools/perf CORESIGHT=1

The feature test output will be there as an empty file:

  $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libopencsd.make.output

Because the binary used for the feature check was successfully built:

  $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libopencsd.bin
  -rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 18336 Feb 12 14:49 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libopencsd.bin
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libopencsd.bin
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffe18cc000)
	libopencsd_c_api.so.0 =&gt; /lib64/libopencsd_c_api.so.0 (0x00007fb8e67f6000)
	libopencsd.so.0 =&gt; /lib64/libopencsd.so.0 (0x00007fb8e676f000)
	libc.so.6 =&gt; /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb8e65a9000)
	libstdc++.so.6 =&gt; /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fb8e6411000)
	libm.so.6 =&gt; /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fb8e628d000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 =&gt; /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fb8e6272000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fb8e6828000)
  $

And the resulting perf binary will be linked with it:

  -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 0 Feb 12 14:49 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libopencsd.make.output
  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep opencsd
	libopencsd_c_api.so.0 =&gt; /lib64/libopencsd_c_api.so.0 (0x00007fd43097f000)
	libopencsd.so.0 =&gt; /lib64/libopencsd.so.0 (0x00007fd4308f8000)
  $

To make sure this gets built before pushing things upstream I have a
ubuntu:19.04-x-arm64 container that has:

  [root@quaco x-arm64]# grep CORESIGHT Dockerfile
  ENV EXTRA_MAKE_ARGS=CORESIGHT=1
  [root@quaco x-arm64]#

So that I always build with libopencsd before pushing things upstream.

Since we need it to resolve the AIO symbols, otherwise we fail with:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccEqrj36.o: undefined reference to symbol 'aio_return64@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
  /usr/bin/ld: //usr/lib64/librt.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  $

When we added the aio support in 'perf record' only the test-libaio.bin
target got the -lrt, i.e. the feature detection slow path. Fix it.

Current libbfd feature test unconditionally links against -liberty and -lz.
While it's required on some systems (e.g. opensuse), it's completely
unnecessary on the others, where only -lbdf is sufficient (debian).
This patch streamlines (and renames) the following feature checks:

feature-libbfd           - only link against -lbfd (debian),
                           see commit 2cf9040714f3 ("perf tools: Fix bfd
			   dependency libraries detection")
feature-libbfd-liberty   - link against -lbfd and -liberty
feature-libbfd-liberty-z - link against -lbfd, -liberty and -lz (opensuse),
                           see commit 280e7c48c3b8 ("perf tools: fix BFD
			   detection on opensuse")

(feature-liberty{,-z} were renamed to feature-libbfd-liberty{,z}
for clarity)

The main motivation is to fix this feature test for bpftool which is
currently broken on debian (libbfd feature shows OFF, but we still
unconditionally link against -lbfd and it works).

Tested on debian with only -lbfd installed (without -liberty); I'd
appreciate if somebody on the other systems can test this new detection
method.

<title>perf tools: Add missing open_memstream() prototype for systems lacking it</title>

There are systems such as the Android NDK API level 24 has the
open_memstream() function but doesn't provide a prototype, adding noise
to the build:

  builtin-timechart.c: In function 'cat_backtrace':
  builtin-timechart.c:486:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'open_memstream' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    FILE *f = open_memstream(&amp;p, &amp;p_len);
    ^
  builtin-timechart.c:486:2: warning: nested extern declaration of 'open_memstream' [-Wnested-externs]
  builtin-timechart.c:486:12: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
    FILE *f = open_memstream(&amp;p, &amp;p_len);
              ^

Define a LACKS_OPEN_MEMSTREAM_PROTOTYPE define so that code needing that
can get a prototype.

Checked in the bionic git repo to be available since level 23:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/libc/include/stdio.h#241

  FILE* open_memstream(char** __ptr, size_t* __size_ptr) __INTRODUCED_IN(23);
