perf jevents: Autogenerate empty-pmu-events.c
empty-pmu-events.c exists so that builds may occur without python being installed on a system. Manually updating empty-pmu-events.c to be in sync with jevents.py is a pain, let's use jevents.py to generate empty-pmu-events.c. 1) change jevents.py so that an arch and model of none cause generation of a pmu-events.c without any json. Add a SPDX and autogenerated warning to the start of the file. 2) change Build so that if a generated pmu-events.c for arch none and model none doesn't match empty-pmu-events.c the build fails with a cat of the differences. Update Makefile.perf to clean up the files used for this. 3) update empty-pmu-events.c to match the output of jevents.py with arch and mode of none. Committer notes: The firtst paragraph is confusing, so I asked and Ian further clarified: --- The requirement for python hasn't changed. Case 1: no python or NO_JEVENTS=1 Build happens using empty-pmu-events.c that is checked in, no python is required. Case 2: python pmu-events.c is created by jevents.py (requiring python) and then built. This change adds a step where the empty-pmu-events.c is created using jevents.py and that file is diffed against the checked in version. This stops the checked in empty-pmu-events.c diverging if changes are made to jevents.py. If the diff causes the build to fail then you just copy the diff empty-pmu-events.c over the checked in one. --- Reviewed-by: John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jing Zhang <renyu.zj@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Oliver Sang <oliver.sang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Philip Li <philip.li@intel.com> Cc: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@amd.com> Cc: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@intel.com> Cc: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@nxp.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240730191744.3097329-3-irogers@google.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
