perf build: Remove NO_AUXTRACE build option

2025-11-14T07:03:11Z

The NO_AUXTRACE build option was used when the __get_cpuid feature test failed or if it was provided on the command line. The option no longer avoids a dependency on a library and so having the option is just adding complexity to the code base. Remove the option CONFIG_AUXTRACE from Build files and HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT by assuming it is always defined. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf arm64: Remove dwarf-regs.c

2024-11-09T16:39:13Z

The file just provides the function get_arch_regstr, however, if in the only caller get_dwarf_regstr EM_HOST is used for the EM_NONE case the function can never be called. So remove as dead code. Tidy up the EM_NONE cases for arm64 in dwarf-regs.c.

perf build: Rename CONFIG_DWARF to CONFIG_LIBDW

2024-10-18T17:17:40Z

In Makefile.config for unwinding the name dwarf implies either libunwind or libdw. Make it clearer that CONFIG_DWARF is really just defined when libdw is present by renaming to CONFIG_LIBDW.

perf util: Make util its own library

2024-06-26T18:07:42Z

Make the util directory into its own library. This is done to avoid compiling code twice, once for the perf tool and once for the perf python module. For convenience: arch/common.c scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c are made part of this library.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

2022-12-14T14:16:12Z

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command line variables. If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support. This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace". CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles, HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code. Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The majority of commands continue to work including "perf test". Committer notes: Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added: #include to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures: - Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/ - bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target. Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build failures: - The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files, now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints. - We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean way. From Athira: tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build -perf-y += kvm-stat.o +perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests. - s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT. Also from Athira: With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment: - Without libtraceevent-devel installed - With libtraceevent-devel installed - With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1” Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

Add a function to find the common PMU map for the system. For arm64, a special variant is added. This is because arm64 supports heterogeneous CPU systems. As such, it cannot be guaranteed that the cpumap is same for all CPUs. So in case of heterogeneous systems, don't return a cpumap. Reviewed-by: Kajol Jain Signed-off-by: John Garry Tested-by: Paul A.
