For libclang, some distro packages provide static libraries (.a) while
some provide shared libraries (.so). Currently, perf code can only be
linked with static libraries. This makes perf build possible for both
cases.

<title>tools: fix cross-compile var clobbering</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=7ed1c1901fe52e6c5828deb155920b44b0adabb1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7ed1c1901fe52e6c5828deb155920b44b0adabb1</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently a number of Makefiles break when used with toolchains that
pass extra flags in CC and other cross-compile related variables (such
as --sysroot).

Thus we get this error when we use a toolchain that puts --sysroot in
the CC var:

  ~/src/linux/tools$ make iio
  [snip]
  iio_event_monitor.c:18:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
             ^~~~~~~~~~

This occurs because we clobber several env vars related to
cross-compiling with lines like this:

  CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc

Although this will point to a valid cross-compiler, we lose any extra
flags that might exist in the CC variable, which can break toolchains
that rely on them (for example, those that use --sysroot).

This easily shows up using a Yocto SDK:

  $ . [snip]/sdk/environment-setup-cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CC
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
  -mcpu=cortex-a8
  --sysroot=[snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CROSS_COMPILE
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

  $ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
  krm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Although arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc is a cross-compiler, we've lost the
--sysroot and other flags that enable us to find the right libraries to
link against, so we can't find unistd.h and other libraries and headers.
Normally with the --sysroot flag we would find unistd.h in the sdk
directory in the sysroot:

  $ find [snip]/sdk/sysroots -path '*/usr/include/unistd.h'
  [snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/unistd.h

The perf Makefile adds CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc if and only if CC is not
already set, and it compiles correctly with the above toolchain.

So, generalize the logic that perf uses in the common Makefile and
remove the manual CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc lines from each Makefile.

Note that this patch does not fix cross-compile for all the tools (some
have other bugs), but it does fix it for all except usb and acpi, which
still have other unrelated issues.

I tested both with and without the patch on native and cross-build and
there appear to be no regressions.

<title>perf tools: Add Python 3 support</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=66dfdff03d196e51322c6a85c0d8db8bb2bdd655'/>
<id>urn:sha1:66dfdff03d196e51322c6a85c0d8db8bb2bdd655</id>
<content type='text'>
Added Python 3 support while keeping Python 2.7 compatibility.

Committer notes:

This doesn't make it to auto detect python 3, one has to explicitely ask
it to build with python 3 devel files, here are the instructions
provided by Jaroslav:

 ---
  $ cp -a tools/perf tools/python3-perf
  $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 all
  $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/python3-perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 all
  $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/python3-perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install-python_ext
  $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install-python_ext
 ---

We need to make this automatic, just like the existing tests for checking if
the python2 devel files are in place, allowing the build with python3 if
available, fallbacking to python2 and then just disabling it if none are
available.

So, using the PYTHON variable to build it using O= we get:

Before this patch:

  $ rpm -q python3 python3-devel
  python3-3.6.4-7.fc27.x86_64
  python3-devel-3.6.4-7.fc27.x86_64
  $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf/ ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ; make O=/tmp/build/perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 -C tools/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  Makefile.config:670: Python 3 is not yet supported; please set
  Makefile.config:671: PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG appropriately.
  Makefile.config:672: If you also have Python 2 installed, then
  Makefile.config:673: try something like:
  Makefile.config:674:
  Makefile.config:675:   make PYTHON=python2
  Makefile.config:676:
  Makefile.config:677: Otherwise, disable Python support entirely:
  Makefile.config:678:
  Makefile.config:679:   make NO_LIBPYTHON=1
  Makefile.config:680:
  Makefile.config:681: *** .  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:212: sub-make] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:110: install-bin] Error 2
  make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
  $

After:

  $ make O=/tmp/build/perf PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf install-bin
  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
	libpython3.6m.so.1.0 =&gt; /lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f58a31e8000)
  $ rpm -qf /lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
  python3-libs-3.6.4-7.fc27.x86_64
  $

Now verify that when using the binding the right ELF file is loaded,
using perf trace:

  $ perf trace -e open* perf test python
     0.051 ( 0.016 ms): perf/3927 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC           ) = 3
&lt;SNIP&gt;
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
     8.849 ( 0.013 ms): sh/3929 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC           ) = 3
&lt;SNIP&gt;
    25.572 ( 0.008 ms): python3/3931 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
&lt;SNIP&gt;
 Ok
&lt;SNIP&gt;
  $

And using tools/perf/python/twatch.py, to show PERF_RECORD_ metaevents:

  $ python3 tools/perf/python/twatch.py

The Open CoreSight Decoding Library (openCSD) is a free and open library
to decode traces collected by the CoreSight hardware infrastructure.

This patch adds the required mechanic to recognise the presence of the
openCSD library on a system and set up miscellaneous flags to be used in
the compilation of the trace decoding feature.

<title>perf util: Introduce architecture specific errno/name mapping</title>

Introduce a script that generates a mapping of errno numbers to their
names for each architecture that is supported by perf (i.e.  has a
subdirectory in tools/perf/arch/).

The errno mapping is generated as part of the trace beautifiers and can
be used by including the trace/beauty/arch_errno_names.c file.  Then,
use arch_syscalls__strerrno() to look up an errno value to obtain the
errno name (e.g. ENOENT) for a particular architecture.

There's no reason anymore to treat babel trace in a special way, because
a) we no longer display its state b) the needed babeltrace library is
now out and well adopted among distros.

<title>perf trace beauty kcmp: Beautify arguments</title>

For some unknown reason there is no entry in tracefs's syscalls for
kcmp, i.e. no tracefs/events/syscalls/sys_{enter,exit}_kcmp, so we need
to provide a data dictionary for the fields.

To beautify the 'type' argument we automatically generate a strarray
from tools/include/uapi/kcmp.h, the idx1 and idx2 args, nowadays used
only if type == KCMP_FILE, are masked for all the other types and a
lookup is made for the thread and fd to show the path, if possible,
getting it from the probe:vfs_getname if in place or from procfs, races
allowing.

A system wide strace like tracing session, with callchains shows just
one user so far in this fedora 25 machine:

  # perf trace --max-stack 5 -e kcmp
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  1502914.400 ( 0.001 ms): systemd/1 kcmp(pid1: 1 (systemd), pid2: 1 (systemd), type: FILE, idx1: 271&lt;socket:[4723475]&gt;, idx2: 25&lt;socket:[4788686]&gt;) = -1 ENOSYS Function not implemented
                                         syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
                                         same_fd (/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-233.so)
                                         service_add_fd_store (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
                                         service_notify_message.lto_priv.127 (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
  1502914.407 ( 0.001 ms): systemd/1 kcmp(pid1: 1 (systemd), pid2: 1 (systemd), type: FILE, idx1: 270&lt;socket:[4726396]&gt;, idx2: 25&lt;socket:[4788686]&gt;) = -1 ENOSYS Function not implemented
                                         syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
                                         same_fd (/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-233.so)
                                         service_add_fd_store (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
                                         service_notify_message.lto_priv.127 (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
  &lt;SNIP&gt;

The backtraces seem to agree this is really kcmp(), but this system
doesn't have the sys_kcmp(), bummer:

  # uname -a
  Linux jouet 4.14.0-rc3+ #1 SMP Fri Oct 13 12:21:12 -03 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  # grep kcmp /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffffb60b8890 W sys_kcmp
  $ grep CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE ../build/v4.14.0-rc3+/.config
  # CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set
  $

So systemd uses it, good fedora kernel config has it:

  $ grep CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE /boot/config-4.13.4-200.fc26.x86_64
  CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y
  [acme@jouet linux]$

/me goes to rebuild a kernel...

<title>perf trace beauty prctl: Generate 'option' string table from kernel headers</title>

<content type='text'>
This is one more case where the way that syscall parameter values are
defined in kernel headers are easy to parse using a shell script that
will then generate the string table that gets used by the prctl 'option'
argument beautifier.

This way as soon as the header syncronization mechanism in perf's build
system detects a change in a copy of a kernel ABI header and that file
is syncronized, we get 'perf trace' updated automagically.

Further work needed for the PR_SET_ values, as well for using eBPF to
copy the non-integer arguments to/from the kernel.

E.g.: System wide prctl tracing:

  # perf trace -e prctl
