      perf bench: Fix detached tarball building due to missing 'perf bench memcpy' headers · 6a1a77ba
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      A change on kernel files included by the 'perf bench memcpy' code grew some new
      include deps, breaking the detached tarball build:
      
        $ make -C tools/perf build-test
        make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
        - tarpkg: ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg .
        tests/make:302: recipe for target 'tarpkg' failed
        make[1]: *** [tarpkg] Error 2
        Makefile:102: recipe for target 'build-test' failed
        make: *** [build-test] Error 2
        make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
        $ cat tools/perf/tarpkg
        ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg .
          PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec
          PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec

      Add arch/*/include/asm/*features.h to tools/perf/MANIFEST so that we can
      continue to use detached tarballs to build perf.
      
      Now it builds ok, doing it manually:
      
        $ make help | grep perf

          perf-tarxz-src-pkg  - Build perf-4.5.0.tar.xz source tarball
        $ ls -la perf-4.5.0.tar
        ls: cannot access perf-4.5.0.tar: No such file or directory
        $ make perf-tar-src-pkg
          TAR

        $ cd /tmp
        $ tar xf perf-4.5.0.tar

        $ make > /dev/null

      perf tests: Fix tarpkg build test error output redirection · cde88355
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      So we need to trow away just stdout, leaving stderr to be caught by
      the build tests infrastructure, so that we can see what went wrong
      when the tarpkg build test fails:
      
        $ make -C tools/perf build-test
        make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
        - tarpkg: ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg .
        tests/make:302: recipe for target 'tarpkg' failed
        make[1]: *** [tarpkg] Error 2
        Makefile:102: recipe for target 'build-test' failed
        make: *** [build-test] Error 2
        make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
        $ cat tools/perf/tarpkg
        ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg .
          PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec
          PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec
        In file included from bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.S:9:0:
        bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:5:29: fatal error: asm/cpufeatures.h: No such file or directory
        compilation terminated.
        mv: cannot stat ‘bench/.mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o.tmp’: No such file or directory
        make[5]: *** [bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o] Error 1
        make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
        make[4]: *** [bench] Error 2
        make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
        make[3]: *** [perf-in.o] Error 2
        make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
        make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
        $
      
      So the test flow is:
      
      1. Run: 'make -C tools/perf build-test'
      
      2. One of its tests failed, in this case, the 'tarpkg' one
      
      3. Look at what went wrong, by looking at the output of that test, in
         tools/perf/tarpkg
      
      Admittedly, this should be shortcircuited to showing what went wrong directly
      from the 'make build-test' step, but lets first fix this tarpkg one and the
      problem it spotted, which should be fixed by adding some extra file to the
      tools/perf/MANIFEST so that detached tarballs continue being self contained and
      build successfully.

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160323' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
      
      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes:
      
      User visible fixes:
      
       - Fix documentation of :ppp modifier in 'perf list' (Andi Kleen)
      
       - Fix silly nodes bitfield bits/bytes length assertion in 'perf bench numa' (Jakub Jelen)
      
       - Remove redundant CPU output in libtraceevent (Steven Rostedt)
      
       - Remove 'core_id' check in topology 'perf test' (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
      
      Infrastructure changes/fixes:
      
       - Record text offset in dso to calculate objdump address, to use with
         modules in addition to vDSO symbol address calculations (Wang Nan)
      
       - Move utilities.mak from perf to tools/scripts/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Add cpumode to the perf_sample struct, this way we don't need to pass
         the union event to the machine and thread resolving routines, shortening
         function signatures and allowing the future introduction of a way
         to use tracepoint events instead of the unavailable HW cycles counter on
         powerpc guests in perf kvm by just hooking on perf_evsel__parse_sample,
         at the end (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Remove/unexport die() related infrastructure, that at some point will
         finally be removed (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Adopt linux/stringify.h from the kernel sources, not to touch this
         kernel header from tools/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Stop using strbuf for things we can instead trivially use libc's asprintf()
         (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Ditch tools/lib/util/abspath.c, its only exported function was used at just
         one place and can be replaced by libc's realpath() (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
       - Use strerror_r() in the llvm infrastructure, tread safe, its what is used
         elsewhere in tools/perf/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      Cleanups:
      
       - Removed misplaced or needless __maybe_unused/export (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
