perf tools: Rename HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE to HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT

2018-04-12T13:33:31Z

To be consistent with other HAVE_XXX_SUPPORT uses in Makefile.config, this patch renames HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE to HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT and updates the C code accordingly.

perf tools: Add 'perf -vv' as an alias to 'perf version --build-options'

2018-04-02T16:50:35Z

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. It didn't process the option like '-vabc' correctly. Fix this bug. v2: Use a global variable version_verbose to record the number of 'v'.

perf trace: Remove audit-libs dependency if syscall tables are present

2018-01-23T12:51:38Z

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.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf tools: Support running perf binaries with a dash in their name

2017-09-12T15:48:54Z

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): ...

tools include: Adopt strstarts() from the kernel

2017-07-20T18:46:10Z

Replacing prefixcmp(), same purpose, inverted result, so standardize on the kernel variant, to reduce silly differences among tools/ and the kernel sources, making it easier for people to work in both codebases. And then doing: if (strstarts(option, "no-")) Looks clearer than doing: if (!prefixcmp(option, "no-")) To figure out if option starts witn "no-".
