      perf python: Filter out -specs=/a/b/c from the python binding cc options · 4be92cf0
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The -spec=/path/to/file can be used to change what gcc puts in the cc,
      ld, etc command lines, but this is not present in clang, filter it out
      at the setup.py file by changing python2's internal variable where it
      keeps its initial CFLAGS value.
      
      With this all of perf can be built in at least Fedora 25, fixing this
      problem:
      
          GEN      /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so
          CC       /tmp/build/perf/builtin-buildid-list.o
        clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
        clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
        error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1
      
      Now I need to change all the containers where I have clang to build
      perf with it, so that we can check that in other distros (opensuse, debian,
      ubuntu, etc) this also works.

      tools perf scripting python: clang doesn't have -spec, remove it · 8bd8c653
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Gcc has a -spec option to override what options to pass to cc, etc, and
      in some distros this is used, like in fedora, where we end up getting
      this passed to gcc that makes clang, that doesn't have this option to
      stop the build:
      
        CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o
      clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
      
      So filter this out when the compiler used is clang, this way we
      can build the python scripting support in tools/perf/.

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.11-20170215' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
      
      Pull perf/core clang fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      Changes to make tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} build with
      CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of warnings (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):
      
      - Conditionally request some warning options not available on clang
      
      - Set the maximum optimization level to -O3 when using CC=clang, leave
        the previous setting of -O6 otherwise.
      
      - Make it an error to pass a signed value to OPTION_UINTEGER, so that
        we can remove abs(unsigned int) calls in 'perf bench futex'.
      
      - Make sure dprintf() is not defined before using that name in 'perf bench numa'
      
      - Avoid using field after variable sized type, its a GNU extension, use
        equivalent code.
      
      - Fix some bugs where some variables could be used unitialized,
        something not caught by gcc.
      
      - Fix some spots where we were testing struct->array[] members against
        NULL, it will always evaluate to 'true'.
      
      - Add missing parse_events_error() prototype in the bison file.
      
      There are still one problem when trying to build the python support, but
      this are the 'size' outputs for 'make -C tools/perf NO_LIBPYTHON' for
      gcc and clang builds:

      Revert "perf bench futex: Sanitize numeric parameters" · 16cab322
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This reverts commit 60758d66.
      
      Now that libsubcmd makes sure that OPT_UINTEGER options will not
      return negative values, we can revert this patch while addressing
      the problem it solved:
      
        # perf bench futex hash -t  -4
        # Running 'futex/hash' benchmark:
         Error: switch `t' expects an unsigned numerical value
         Usage: perf bench futex hash <options>
      
            -t, --threads <n>     Specify amount of threads
        # perf bench futex hash -t-4
        # Running 'futex/hash' benchmark:
         Error: switch `t' expects an unsigned numerical value
         Usage: perf bench futex hash <options>
      
            -t, --threads <n>     Specify amount of threads
        #
      
      IMO it is more reasonable to flat out refuse to process a negative
      number than to silently turn it into an absolute value.
      
      This also helps in silencing clang's complaint about asking for an
      absolute value of an unsigned integer:
      
        bench/futex-hash.c:133:10: error: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned int' has no effect [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value]
                nsecs = futexbench_sanitize_numeric(nsecs);
                      ^
        bench/futex.h:104:42: note: expanded from macro 'futexbench_sanitize_numeric'
        #define futexbench_sanitize_numeric(__n) abs((__n))
                                                 ^
        bench/futex-hash.c:133:10: note: remove the call to 'abs' since unsigned values cannot be negative

      tools lib subcmd: Make it an error to pass a signed value to OPTION_UINTEGER · b9889716
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Options marked OPTION_UINTEGER or OPTION_U64 clearly indicates that an
      unsigned value is expected, so just error out when a negative value is
      passed, instead of returning something undesired to the tool.
      
      E.g.:
      
        # perf bench futex hash -t -4

      tools: Set the maximum optimization level according to the compiler being used · 49b3cd30
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To avoid this when using clang:
      
        warning: optimization level '-O6' is not supported; using '-O3' instead

      tools: Suppress request for warning options not existent in clang · 093b75ef
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To allow building with clang, avoiding:
      
        error: unknown warning option '-Wstrict-aliasing=3'; did you mean '-Wstring-plus-int'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.11-20170213' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
      
      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      New features:
      
       - Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders the
         histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta for a
         function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that changed the
         most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first (Namhyung Kim)
      
      User visible changes:
      
       - Improve message about tweaking the kernel.perf_event_paranoid setting,
         telling how to make the change permanent by editing /etc/sysctl.conf
         (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      Infrastructure changes:
      
       - Introduce linux/compiler-gcc.h as a counterpart to the kernel's,
         initially containing the definition of __fallthrough, more to
         come (__maybe_unused, etc) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Fixes for problems uncovered by building tools/perf with clang, such
         as always true tests of arrays against NULL and variables that sometimes
         were used without being initialized (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Steven Rostedt)
      
       - Before loading a new ELF, clear global variables set by the
         samples/bpf loader (Mickaël Salaün)
      
       - Ignore already processed ELF sections in the samples/bpf
         loader (Mickaël Salaün)
      
       - Fix compile error in the scripting code with some perl5
         versions (Wang YanQing)
