2025-04-10perf check: Add tip about building with libbfd using BUILD_NONDISTRO=1Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
There are still some cases, for instance to disassembly BPF code that needs this, so until someone works on supporting that, we're keeping the code but it is opt-in. Make that clear on the 'perf version --build-options' and other ways to query if a feature is present: $ perf check feature libbfd libbfd: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, license incompatibility, use BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 and install binutils-dev[el] ) $ perf -vv | grep bfd libbfd: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, license incompatibility, use BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 and install binutils-dev[el] ) $ Tested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Dmitriy Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Howard Chu <howardchu95@gmail.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/Z_dkNDj9EPFwPqq1@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2025-04-10perf check: Allow showing a tip for opt-in features not built into perfArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Ingo reported that it was difficult to understand why libunwind support didn't link even when he had the usual libunwind-dev files installed in his machine. This is because libunwind became opt-in, the user has to use LIBUNWIND=1, as it was deemed stalled in its development/unsuitable for use with perf, IIRC, and so we better use the elfutils equivalent routine that we also supported for ages. But the build message still printed: Auto-detecting system features: ... libdw: [ on ] ... glibc: [ on ] <SNIP> ... libcrypto: [ on ] ... libunwind: [ OFF ] <SNIP> Which is confusing, so allow for having a tip when 'perf version --build-options' is used, and variants with 'perf check feature': $ perf version --build-options | grep libunwind libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it ) $ $ perf check feature libunwind libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it ) $ The next patches will remove the opt-in libunwind FEATURES_DISPLAY.

2025-04-10perf check: Move the FEATURE_STATUS() macro to its only user source fileArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
It is just 'perf check' that uses that macro, to initialize the list of features built into perf, so move it there. This also avoids depending on things that are not included from builtin.h, like is_builtin(), the CONFIG_ macros, etc, that are all included in 'builtin-check.c' and before where this macro was moved to.

2025-01-10perf tools: Remove dependency on libauditCharlie Jenkins
All architectures now support HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT, so the flag is no longer needed. With the removal of the flag, the related GENERIC_SYSCALL_TABLE can also be removed. libaudit was only used as a fallback for when HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT was not defined, so libaudit is also no longer needed for any architecture.

Fix two inconsistencies in feature names as discussed in [1]: 1. Rename "dwarf-unwind-support" to "dwarf-unwind" 2. 'get_cpuid' feature and 'HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT' names don't look related, change the feature name to 'auxtrace' to match the macro name, as 'get_cpuid' string is not used anywhere to check the feature presence [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/ZoRw5we4HLSTZND6@x1/ Suggested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Aditya Gupta <adityag@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240904190132.415212-7-adityag@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2024-09-04perf check: Introduce 'check' subcommandAditya Gupta
Currently the presence of a feature is checked with a combination of perf version --build-options and greps, such as: perf version --build-options | grep " on .* HAVE_FEATURE" Instead of this, introduce a subcommand "perf check feature", with which scripts can test for presence of a feature, such as: perf check feature HAVE_FEATURE 'perf check feature' command is expected to have exit status of 0 if feature is built-in, and 1 if it's not built-in or if feature is not known. Multiple features can also be passed as a comma-separated list, in which case the exit status will be 1 only if all of the passed features are built-in. For example, with below command, it will have exit status of 0 only if both libtraceevent and bpf are enabled, else 1 in all other cases perf check feature libtraceevent,bpf The arguments are case-insensitive. An array 'supported_features' has also been introduced that can be used by other commands like 'perf version --build-options', so that new features can be added in one place, with the array Committer testing: $ perf check feature libtraceevent,bpf libtraceevent: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT $ perf check feature libtraceevent libtraceevent: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT $ perf check feature bpf bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT $ perf check -q feature bpf && echo "BPF support is present" BPF support is present $ perf check -q feature Bogus && echo "Bogus support is present" $ Reviewed-by: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Aditya Gupta <adityag@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240904061836.55873-3-adityag@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
