perf tools: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build

egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.

sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf`

Here are the steps to install the latest grep:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
sudo make install

To use in automated tests inside containers from a tarball generated

is obviously not needed, so add a 'build-test-tarball' for that case.

And don't build with gtk2 as this complicates things for cross builds
where we don't always have all the libraries a full perf build requires
available for the target arch, ditto for static builds.

When I tried to compile tools/perf from the top directory with the -C

The O= directory existence check failed because the check script ran in
the build target directory instead of the directory where I ran the make
command.

To fix that, once change directory to $(PWD) and check O= directory,
since the PWD is set to where the make command runs.

perf tools: Disable parallelism for 'make clean'

The Yocto build system does a 'make clean' when rebuilding due to
changed dependencies, and that consistently fails for me (causing the
whole BSP build to fail) with errors such as

| find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/plugin_mac80211.so': No such file or directory
| find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/plugin_mac80211.so': No such file or directory

Apparently (despite the comment), 'make clean' ends up launching
multiple sub-makes that all want to remove the same things - perhaps
this only happens in combination with a O=... parameter. In any case, we
don't lose much by explicitly disabling the parallelism for the clean
target, and it makes automated builds much more reliable.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The 'tools/perf/test/make' makefile has in its default, 'all' target
builds that will pollute the source code directory, i.e. that will not
use O= variable.

The 'build-test' should be run as often as possible, preferrably after
each non strictly non-code commit, so speed it up by selecting just
the O= targets.

Furthermore it tests both the Makefile.perf file, that is normally
driven by the main Makefile, and the Makefile, reduce the time in half
by having just MK=Makefile, the most usual, tested by 'build-test'.

Please run:

make -C tools/perf -f tests/make

from time to time for testing also the in-place build tests.

the feature checkers run only once when doing build-test for normal test
cases.

However, since standard users doesn't reuse features dump result, we'd
better give an option to check their behaviors. The above feature
should be used to make build-test faster only. Only utilize it for

Currently if we build a single target like:

$ touch util/map.c && make util/map.o

It will not rebuild util/map.o if it already exists and util/map.c is
modified.

The reason is that the top-level 'Makefile' processes util/map.o as an
implicit rule and if util/map.o exists make considers the 'util/map.o'
target as done and will not nest into Makefile.perf.

Adding FORCE for '%', because that's what we want to nest into
Makefile.perf for any target.

Adding Makefile into phony targets, because make tries to rebuild it and
it's also resolved as '%' target.

tools/perf/build: Pass through DEBUG parameter

Arnaldo reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not work anymore.

The reason is that 'Makefile' only passes it through to
'Makefile.perf' via the environment, but 'Makefile.perf'
checks that it's a command line option:

ifeq ("$(origin DEBUG)", "command line")
PERF_DEBUG = $(DEBUG)
endif

So pass it through properly, and also clean up DEBUG parameter
handling while at it and fix a couple of annoyances:

- DEBUG=0 used to be interpreted as 'debugging on'. Turn it
into 'debugging off' instead.

- Same was the case for 'DEBUG=' - turn that into debug-off
as well.

- Pass in just a clean, sanitized 'DEBUG' value and get rid of
the intermediate, unnecessary PERF_DEBUG variable.

The various build lines from libtraceevent and perf mix up during a
parallel build and produce unaligned output like:

CC builtin-buildid-list.o
CC builtin-buildid-cache.o
CC builtin-list.o
CC FPIC trace-seq.o
CC builtin-record.o
CC FPIC parse-filter.o
CC builtin-report.o
CC builtin-stat.o
CC FPIC parse-utils.o
CC FPIC kbuffer-parse.o
CC builtin-timechart.o
CC builtin-top.o
CC builtin-script.o
BUILD STATIC LIB libtraceevent.a
CC builtin-probe.o
CC builtin-kmem.o
CC builtin-lock.o

To solve this, harmonize all the build message alignments to be similar
to the kernel's kbuild output: prefixed by two spaces and 11-char wide.

After the patch the output looks pretty tidy, even if output lines get
mixed up:

CC builtin-annotate.o
FLAGS: * new build flags or cross compiler
CC builtin-bench.o
AR liblk.a
CC bench/sched-messaging.o
CC FPIC event-parse.o
CC bench/sched-pipe.o
CC FPIC trace-seq.o
CC bench/mem-memcpy.o
CC bench/mem-memset.o
CC FPIC parse-filter.o
CC builtin-diff.o
CC builtin-evlist.o
CC builtin-help.o

tools/perf/build: Fix non-canonical directory names in O=

work in the build system:

$ make O=localdir clean

SUBDIR Documentation
../../scripts/Makefile.include:3: *** O=localdir does not exist. Stop.
make[1]: *** [clean] Error 2
make: *** [clean] Error 2

Fix this by canonizing the directory before passing it to Makefile.perf.

In case the user specifies MAKEFLAGS as an environment variable,
or uses 'make -jN' explicitly, the options can conflict and result in:

tools/perf/build: Exclude MAKEFLAGS from nested invocation

In case the user specifies MAKEFLAGS as an environment variable,
or uses 'make -jN' explicitly, the options can conflict and result in:

BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
GEN common-cmds.h
make[1]: *** write jobserver: Bad file descriptor. Stop.

Make sure we invoke the main makefile in a pristine state.

Users who want to do something non-standard can use the:

make -f Makefile.perf

method to invoke the makefile.

This is due to GNU make having built-in rules for popular targets such
as *.o. Clear them out so that all targets as passed through to Makefile.perf.

tools/perf/build: Flip Makefile.parallel and Makefile.perf

To make it more apparent that there is not change in functionality we introduced
Makefile.parallel separately and now flip it with the main Makefile, which
moves into Makefile.perf.

The renames are:

Makefile.parallel => Makefile
Makefile => Makefile.perf
