perf tools: Enable libtraceevent dynamic linking

Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libtraceevent
(tools/lib/traceevent). This patch adds libtraceevent package detection
and support to link perf with it dynamically.

The libtraceevent package status is displayed with:
$ make VF=1 LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1
...
... libtraceevent: [ on ]

Default behavior remains the same (static linking).

Committer testing:

$ make LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1 VF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin |& grep traceevent
Makefile.config:1090: *** Error: No libtraceevent devel library found, please install libtraceevent-devel. Stop.

perf tools: Fix dynamic libbpf link

[ Upstream commit ad1237c30d975535a669746496cbed136aa5a045 ]

Justin reported broken build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1.

When linking libbpf dynamically we need to use perf's
hashmap object, because it's not exported in libbpf.so
(only in libbpf.a).

Following build is now passing:

$ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
...
$ ldd perf | grep libbpf
libbpf.so.0 => /lib64/libbpf.so.0 (0x00007fa7630db000)

perf python: Autodetect python3 binary

Some distros don't come with python2 and only have python3 available.
This causes the "'import perf' in python" self test to fail.

This change adds python3 to the list of possible python versions
that are autodetected but maintains the priorities for
'python2' and 'python' detection. Python3 has the lowest priority.

Committer notes:

On a fedora system without python2 packages the 'perf test python'
continues to work:

# python2
bash: python2: command not found...
Similar command is: 'python'
# rpm -qa | grep python2
#

That "Similar command" gives the clue:

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/python
python-unversioned-command-3.8.5-5.fc32.noarch
# rpm -ql python-unversioned-command
/usr/bin/python
/usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz
#

With it in place the 'python' binary is found and perf builds the python
binding using python3:

# perf test -v python
19: 'import perf' in python :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 379988
python usage test: "echo "import sys ; sys.path.append('/tmp/build/perf/python'); import perf" | '/usr/bin/python' "
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: Ok
#

Looking at that path:

# ls -la /tmp/build/perf/python
total 1864
drwxrwxr-x. 2 acme acme 60 Oct 13 16:20 .
drwxrwxr-x. 18 acme acme 4420 Oct 13 16:28 ..
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 1907216 Oct 13 16:28 perf.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
#

And:

# ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
libpython3.8.so.1.0 => /lib64/libpython3.8.so.1.0 (0x00007f5471187000)
#

As soon as we remove it:

# rpm -e python-unversioned-command-3.8.5-5.fc32.noarch
# hash -r
# python
bash: python: command not found...
Install package 'python-unversioned-command' to provide command 'python'? [N/y] n
#

And rebuilding perf now doesn't find python in the system:

This is bitrotting, nobody is stepping up to work on it, and since we

faster test (tools/build/feature/test-all.c) because of the GTK+2

So make this opt-in, at some point ditch this if nobody volunteers to

perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.

With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:

$ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....

One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

perf build: Remove libaudit from the default feature checks

Ingo reported that the libaudit was always appearing as OFF:

perf build: Remove libaudit from the default feature checks

Ingo reported that the libaudit was always appearing as OFF:

Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ on ]
... dwarf_getlocations: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
... gtk2: [ on ]
... libaudit: [ OFF ]

And everything seemed to work, i.e. we were checking for a feature that
we don't use, causing confusion for people building perf, so work to
remove that nuisance while making sure that it works when an arch
doesn't provide the alternative method to generate the syscall id/name
conversion tables.

Longer explanation of the new modus operandi:

$ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf NO_SYSCALL_TABLE=1
<SNIP>
Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ on ]
... dwarf_getlocations: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]

... libnuma: [ on ]
... numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on ]

... lzma: [ on ]
... get_cpuid: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
... libaio: [ on ]
... libzstd: [ on ]
... disassembler-four-args: [ on ]

Makefile.config:665: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev
GEN /tmp/build/perf/common-cmds.h
MKDIR /tmp/build/perf/fd/
MKDIR /tmp/build/perf/fs/
<SNIP>
$

The libaudit test is forced and it fails when audit-libs-devel isn't available:

$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output
test-libaudit.c:2:10: fatal error: libaudit.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <libaudit.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
$

If we install audit-libs-devel and rebuild it continues not to be shown as OFF
in the main auto-detection summary, but again gets tested and this time:

$ rpm -q audit-libs-devel
audit-libs-devel-3.0-0.15.20191104git1c2f876.fc31.x86_64
$

The make output for the feature detection comes clean:

$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output

And the feature detection binary is successfully built and is dynamicly linked
with libaudit:

$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.bin | grep audit
libaudit.so.1 => /lib64/libaudit.so.1 (0x00007f5bf5177000)
$

As well as the resulting perf binary:

$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep audit
libaudit.so.1 => /lib64/libaudit.so.1 (0x00007fad511c7000)
$

And 'perf trace' works using the libaudit method:

$ sudo /tmp/build/perf/perf trace -e nanosleep sleep 1
0.000 (1000.067 ms): sleep/281872 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffedbbe69d0) = 0
$

If we leave audit-libs-devel installed but don't disable the use of the best
method, the one using SYSCALL_TABLE, the default for architectures that provide
the script to build the syscall id/name mapping using the .tbl files copied
from the kernel sources, we get:

$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
$ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ on ]
... dwarf_getlocations: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
... gtk2: [ on ]
... libbfd: [ on ]
... libcap: [ on ]
... libelf: [ on ]

... disassembler-four-args: [ on ]

GEN /tmp/build/perf/common-cmds.h
<SNIP>
$

Again, no mention of libaudit being on or OFF and:

$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output
cat: /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libaudit.make.output: No such file or directory
$

We didn't even bother checking for its availability, slightly speeding up the
build process and:

$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libaudit
$

We don't link with it, also:

$ sudo /tmp/build/perf/perf trace -e nanosleep sleep 1
0.000 (1000.053 ms): sleep/299125 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc24611b50) = 0
$

And globs become available:

$ sudo /tmp/build/perf/perf trace -e *sleep sleep 1
0.000 (1000.072 ms): sleep/299136 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffe7a3c4ff0) = 0

perf tools: Support Python 3.8+ in Makefile

Python 3.8 changed the output of 'python-config --ldflags' to no longer
include the '-lpythonX.Y' flag (this apparently fixed an issue loading
modules with a statically linked Python executable). The libpython
feature check in linux/build/feature fails if the Python library is not
included in FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libpython variable.

This adds a check in the Makefile to determine if PYTHON_CONFIG accepts
the '--embed' flag and passes that flag alongside '--ldflags' if so.

tools/perf is the only place the libpython feature check is used.

perf tools: Add file-handle feature test

The file handle (FHANDLE) support is configurable so some systems might not
have it. So add a config feature item to check it on build time so that we
don't add the cgroup tracking feature based on that.

Committer notes:

Had to make the test use the same construct as its later use in
synthetic-events.c, in the next patch in this series. i.e. make it be:

struct {
struct file_handle fh;
uint64_t cgroup_id;
} handle;

To cope with:

CC /tmp/build/perf/util/cloexec.o
util/synthetic-events.c:428:22: error: field 'fh' with CC /tmp/build/perf/util/call-path.o
variable sized type 'struct file_handle' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU
extension [-Werror,-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end]
struct file_handle fh;
^
1 error generated.

Deal with this at some point, i.e. investigate if the right thing is to
remove that -Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end from our CFLAGS, for
now do the test the same way as it is used looks more sensible.

perf tools: Allow to link with libbpf dynamicaly

Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libbpf
(tools/lib/bpf). This patch adds libbpf package detection and support to
link perf with it dynamically.

The libbpf package status is displayed with:

$ make VF=1
Auto-detecting system features:
...
... libbpf: [ on ]

It's not checked by default, because it's quite new. Once it's on most
distros we can switch it on.

For the same reason it's not added to the test-all check.

Perf does not need advanced version of libbpf, so we can check just for
the base bpf_object__open function.

Adding new compile variable to detect libbpf package and link bpf
dynamically:

$ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1
...
LINK perf
$ ldd perf | grep bpf
libbpf.so.0 => /lib64/libbpf.so.0 (0x00007f46818bc000)

If libbpf is not installed, build stops with:

Makefile.config:486: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found,\
please install libbpf-devel. Stop.
