perf build: Error if jevents won't work and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set

Rather than disabling jevents if a sufficient python isn't present
error in the build. This avoids the build progressing but the binary
being degraded. The build can still succeed by specifying NO_JEVENTS=1
to the build and this is conveyed in the error message.

perf build: Make BUILD_BPF_SKEL default, rename to NO_BPF_SKEL

BPF skeleton support is now key to a number of perf features. Rather
than making it so that BPF support must be enabled for the build, make
this the default and error if the build lacks a clang and libbpf that
are sufficient. To avoid the error and build without BPF skeletons the
NO_BPF_SKEL=1 flag can be used. Add a build-options flag to 'perf
version' to enable detection of the BPF skeleton support and use this
in the offcpu shell test.

perf bpf: Avoid build breakage with libbpf < 0.8.0 + LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1

In 746bd29e348f99b4 ("perf build: Use tools/lib headers from install
path") we stopped having the tools/lib/ directory from the kernel
sources in the header include path unconditionally, which breaks the
build on systems with older versions of libbpf-devel, in this case 0.7.0
as some of the structures and function declarations present in the newer
version of libbpf included in the kernel sources (tools/lib/bpf) are not
anymore used, just the ones in the system libbpf.

So instead of trying to provide alternative functions when the
libbpf-bpf_program__set_insns feature test fails, fail a
LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 build (requesting the use of the system's libbpf) and
emit this build error message:

$ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf
Makefile.config:593: *** Error: libbpf devel library needs to be >= 0.8.0 to build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC, update or build statically with the version that comes with the kernel sources. Stop.
$

For v6.3 these tests will be revamped and we'll require libbpf 1.0 as a
minimal version for using LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, most distros should have it
by now or at v6.3 time.

perf build: Fix build error when NO_LIBBPF=1

The $(LIBBPF) target should only be a dependency of prepare if the
static version of libbpf is needed. Add a new LIBBPF_STATIC variable
that is set by Makefile.config. Use LIBBPF_STATIC to determine whether
the CFLAGS, etc. need updating and for adding $(LIBBPF) as a prepare
dependency.

As Makefile.config isn't loaded for "clean" as a target, always set
LIBBPF_OUTPUT regardless of whether it is needed for $(LIBBPF). This
is done to minimize conditional logic for $(LIBBPF)-clean.

If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.

This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".

CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.

Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:

- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/

- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:

- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.

- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.

From Athira:

<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>

Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.

- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

Also from Athira:

<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>

Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

We need to do that anyway to avoid this mixup system libbpf and

And this also may become moot as we move to using BPF skels for this
feature.

Don't use deprecated and now broken map style. Avoid use of

Committer notes:

Add /usr/include to the include path so that bpf/bpf_helpers.h can be
found, remove sys/socket.h, adding the sockaddr_storage definition, also
remove stdbool.h, both were preventing building the
augmented_raw_syscalls.c file with clang, revisit later.

perf bpf: Fix build with libbpf 0.7.0 by checking if bpf_program__set_insns() is available

During the transition to libbpf 1.0 some functions that perf used were
deprecated and finally removed from libbpf, so bpf_program__set_insns()
was introduced for perf to continue to use its bpf loader.

But when build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 we now need to check if that
function is available so that perf can build with older libbpf versions,
even if the end result is emitting a warning to the user that the use
of the perf BPF loader requires a newer libbpf, since bpf_program__set_insns()
touches libbpf objects internal state.

This affects only 'perf trace' when using bpf C code or pre-compiled
bytecode as an event.

Noticed on RHEL9, that has libbpf 0.7.0, where bpf_program__set_insns()
isn't available.

perf test: Add build infra for perf test tools for ARM CoreSight tests

This adds the initial build infrastructure (makefiles maintainers
information) for adding follow-on tests for CoreSight.

Committer notes:

Remove the installation of tests/shell/coresight/*.sh, as there are no
files there yet and thus, at this point, make install fails.

Use $(QUIET_CLEAN) to avoid having extraneous output in the 'make clean'
output.

Also use @$(MAKE) in tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/Makefile as $(Q)
is not turning into @ when V=1 isn't used, i.e. in the default case it
is not being quiet.

The >/dev/null in the all for tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/Makefile
is to avoid this:

make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
DESCEND plugins
GEN /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so
make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
INSTALL trace_plugins

On !arm64 where nothing is done on the main target for
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/*/Makefile.

tools build: Fix feature detection output due to eval expansion

As the first eval expansion is used only to generate Makefile statements,
messages should not be displayed at this stage, as for example conditional
expressions are not evaluated.

It can be seen for example in the output of feature detection for bpftool,
where the number of detected features does not change, despite turning on
the verbose mode (VF = 1) and there are additional features to display.

Fix this issue by escaping the $ before $(info) statements, to ensure that
messages are printed only when the function containing them is actually
executed, and not when it is expanded.

In addition, move the $(info) statement out of feature_print_status, due to
the fact that is called both inside and outside an eval context, and place
it to the caller so that the $ can be escaped when necessary. For symmetry,
move the $(info) statement also out of feature_print_text, and place it to
the caller.

Force the TMP variable evaluation in verbose mode, to display the features
in FEATURE_TESTS that are not in FEATURE_DISPLAY.

Reorder perf feature detection messages (first non-verbose, then verbose
ones) by moving the call to feature_display_entries earlier, before the VF
environment variable check.

Also, remove the newline from that function, as perf might display
additional messages. Move the newline to perf Makefile, and display another
one if displaying the detection result is not deferred as in the case of
bpftool.

perf python: Fix build when PYTHON_CONFIG is user supplied

The previous change to Python autodetection had a small mistake where
the auto value was used to determine the Python binary, rather than the
user supplied value. The Python binary is only used for one part of the
build process, rather than the final linking, so it was producing
correct builds in most scenarios, especially when the auto detected
value matched what the user wanted, or the system only had a valid set
of Pythons.

Change it so that the Python binary path is derived from either the
PYTHON_CONFIG value or PYTHON value, depending on what is specified by
the user. This was the original intention.

This error was spotted in a build failure an odd cross compilation
environment after commit 4c41cb46a732fe82 ("perf python: Prefer
python3") was merged.

perf build: Remove FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-disassembler-{four-args,init-styled} setting

As the building mechanism is now able to retry detection with different
combinations of linking flags, setting
FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-disassembler-four-args and
FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-disassembler-init-styled is not necessary anymore,
so remove it.

Committer notes:

Use the same technique to find the set of bfd-related libraries to link as in:
