2023-08-15perf bpf: Remove support for embedding clang for compiling BPF events (-e foo.c)Ian Rogers1-5/+0
This never was in the default build for perf, is difficult to maintain as it uses clang/llvm internals so ditch it, keeping, for now, the external compilation of .c BPF into .o bytecode and its subsequent loading, that is also going to be removed, do it separately to help bisection and to properly document what is being removed and why. Committer notes: Extracted from a larger patch and removed some leftovers, namely deleting these now unused feature tests: tools/build/feature/test-clang.cpp tools/build/feature/test-cxx.cpp tools/build/feature/test-llvm-version.cpp tools/build/feature/test-llvm.cpp Testing the use of BPF events after applying this patch: To use the external clang/llvm toolchain to compile a .c event and then use libbpf to load it, to get the syscalls:sys_enter_open* tracepoints and read the filename pointer, putting it into the ring buffer right after the usual tracepoint payload for 'perf trace' to then print it: [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c,open* --max-events=10 0.000 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 0.083 abrt-dump-jour/1453 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.063 abrt-dump-jour/1454 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.082 abrt-dump-jour/1455 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 250.124 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 250.521 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/memory.pressure", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.047 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/memory.current", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.162 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/memory.min", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.242 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/memory.low", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 251.353 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/memory.swap.current", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 [root@quaco ~]# Same thing, but with a prebuilt .o BPF bytecode: [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o,open* --max-events=10 0.000 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 0.083 abrt-dump-jour/1453 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.083 abrt-dump-jour/1455 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 0.062 abrt-dump-jour/1454 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/var/log/journal/d6a97235307247e09f13f326fb607e3c/system.journal", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK) = 4 249.985 systemd-oomd/959 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/proc/meminfo", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 12 466.763 thermald/1234 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/intel-rapl:0:2/energy_uj") = 13 467.145 thermald/1234 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/energy_uj") = 13 467.311 thermald/1234 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp") = 13 500.040 cgroupify/24006 openat(dfd: 4, filename: ".", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC|DIRECTORY|NONBLOCK) = 5 500.295 cgroupify/24006 openat(dfd: 4, filename: "24616/cgroup.procs") = 5 [root@quaco ~]# Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <[email protected]> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <[email protected]> Cc: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Cc: Andrii Nakryiko <[email protected]> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <[email protected]> Cc: Athira Rajeev <[email protected]> Cc: Brendan Gregg <[email protected]> Cc: Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]> Cc: Eduard Zingerman <[email protected]> Cc: Fangrui Song <[email protected]> Cc: He Kuang <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: James Clark <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Kan Liang <[email protected]> Cc: Leo Yan <[email protected]> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <[email protected]> Cc: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Nathan Chancellor <[email protected]> Cc: "Naveen N.

2023-07-28perf build: Add Wextra for C++ compilationIan Rogers1-0/+3
Commit d58ac0bf8d1e ("perf build: Add clang and llvm compile and linking support") added -Wall and -Wno-strict-aliasing for CXXFLAGS, but not -Wextra. -Wno-strict-aliasing is no longer necessary, adding -Wextra for CXXFLAGS requires adding -Wno-unused-parameter clang.cpp and clang-test.cpp for LIBCLANGLLVM=1 to build.

2019-02-14perf tools: Rename build libperf to perfJiri Olsa1-2/+2
Rename build libperf to perf, because it's used to build perf. The libperf build object name will be used for libperf library.

2016-12-05perf clang: Add builtin clang support ant test caseWang Nan1-0/+2
Add basic clang support in clang.cpp and test__clang() testcase. The first testcase checks if builtin clang is able to generate LLVM IR. tests/clang.c is a proxy. Real testcase resides in utils/c++/clang-test.cpp in c++ and exports C interface to perf test subsystem. Test result: $ perf test -v clang 51: builtin clang support : 51.1: Test builtin clang compile C source to IR : --- start --- test child forked, pid 13215 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test builtin clang support subtest 0: Ok Committer note: Make sure you've enabled CLANG and LLVM builtin support by setting the LIBCLANGLLVM variable on the make command line, e.g.: make LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin Otherwise you'll get this when trying to do the 'perf test' call above: # perf test clang 51: builtin clang support : Skip (not compiled in) # Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <[email protected]> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]> Cc: He Kuang <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Joe Stringer <[email protected]> Cc: Zefan Li <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] [ Removed "Test" from descriptions, redundant and already removed from all the other entries ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
