2013-02-22Kbuild: Disable var tracking with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCEDAndi Kleen
Newer gcc enables the var-tracking pass with -g to keep track which registers contain which variables. This is one of the slower passes in gcc. With reduced debug info (aimed at objdump -S, but not using a full debugger) we don't need this fine grained tracking. But it was still enabled because -g was enabled. Disable it explicitely for DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED. On my 8T workstation this gives me about a 12 second gain in building a reasonable kernel config (2min16 vs 2min28) with DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED. With full DEBUG_INFO it takes 2min46 The actual improvement in user time taken by the compiler is much higher (all CPU combined user time 15min5s vs 16m30 before) but the usual amdahl bottleneck on the linker prevents more speedup. It still saves some more energy and keeps cycles for other things. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2013-02-22depmod: pass -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXJames Hogan
On architectures which have symbol prefixes, depmod emits lots of warnings like this: WARNING: $module.ko needs unknown symbol $symbol This is because depmod isn't being passed the -P <symbol_prefix> arguments to specify the symbol prefix to ignore. This option is included since the 3.13 release of module-init-tools. Update scripts/depmod.sh to take extra arguments for the symbol prefix (required but may be empty), and update the main Makefile to always pass "$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX)" to scripts/depmod.sh. If the provided symbol prefix is non-empty, scripts/depmod.sh checks if depmod --version reports module-init-tools with a version number < 3.13 otherwise it appends -P $SYMBOL_PREFIX to the depmod command line.

To allow the builder to sign only a subset of modules, or to sign the modules using a key that is not available on the build machine, add CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL.

2013-01-22arm64: makefile: fix uname munging when setting ARCH on native machineWill Deacon
By popular demand, arch/aarch64 is now known as arch/arm64. However, uname -m (and indeed the GNU triplet) still use aarch64 as the machine string. This patch fixes native builds of both the kernel and perf tools by updating the relevant Makefiles to munge the output of uname -m and set the ARCH variable appropriately.

2012-12-20x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BITDavid Woodhouse
It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy to trash an entire build tree that way. This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from 'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64), which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we started so long ago. This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands such as: make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig make ARCH=i386 randconfig ... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation is not desirable. In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values. We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using $KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding CONFIG_64BIT. We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing that though.

2012-11-19tools: Honour the O= flag when tool build called from a higher MakefileDavid Howells
Honour the O= flag that was passed to a higher level Makefile and then passed down as part of a tool build. To make this work, the top-level Makefile passes the original O= flag and subdir=tools to the tools/Makefile, and that in turn passes subdir=$(O)/$(subdir)/foodir when building tool foo in directory $(O)/$(subdir)/foodir (where the intervening slashes aren't added if an element is missing). For example, take perf. This is found in tools/perf/. Assume we're building into directory ~/zebra/, so we pass O=~/zebra to make. Dependening on where we run the build from, we see: make run in dir $(OUTPUT) dir ======================= ================== linux ~/zebra/tools/perf/ linux/tools ~/zebra/perf/ linux/tools/perf ~/zebra/ and if O= is not set, we get: make run in dir $(OUTPUT) dir ======================= ================== linux linux/tools/perf/ linux/tools linux/tools/perf/ linux/tools/perf linux/tools/perf/ The output directories are created by the descend function if they don't already exist.

2012-10-02UAPI: Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checkingDavid Howells
Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checking system. As the headers are split the entries will be transferred across from the old Kbuild files to the UAPI Kbuild files. The changes made in this commit are: (1) Exported generated files (of which there are currently four) are moved to uapi/ directories under the appropriate generated/ directory, thus we get: include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_x32.h These paths were added to the build as -I flags in a previous patch. (2) scripts/Makefile.headersinst is now given the UAPI path to install from rather than the old path. It then determines the old path from that and includes that Kbuild also if it exists, thus permitting the headers to exist in either directory during the changeover. I also renamed the "install" variable to "installdir" as it refers to a directory not the install program. (3) scripts/headers_install.pl is altered to take a list of source file paths instead of just their names so that the makefile can tell it exactly where to find each file. For the moment, files can be obtained from one of four places for each output directory: .../include/uapi/foo/ .../include/generated/uapi/foo/ .../include/foo/ .../include/generated/foo/ The non-UAPI paths will be dropped later.

Most of the activity was on the tooling side. Higher level changes: - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong. - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov. - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from Irina Tirdea - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function entry. The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good solution. - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng. - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots of needless calls to libtraceevent. - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from Feng Tang - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from Feng Tang. Infrastructure enhancements and fixes: - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc. Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'. - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more readily caught. - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix from Eric Sandeen. - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in 'report', from Feng Tang. - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee. - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim. - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim. - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim. - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the 'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong. - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools. - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines, from David Ahern - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK browser, From Namhyung Kim - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter. - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa. - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep, fix from Jiri Olsa. - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim. - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim. - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it works in C++, from Steven Rostedt - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf exit routine can take place, from David Ahern - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern. - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments, from Maciek Borzecki - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes successfully. - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David Ahern - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung Kim - Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set already, fix from Namhyung Kim - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter. - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility, from Namhyung Kim - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd line, from Robert Richter - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben Hutchings - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt - perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang. - Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker - Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim. - Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa. - Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an .opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody Schafer. - Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert Richter - Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e. calling pevent_find_event repeatedly when processing tracepoint events. [ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so far parsing the common and per event fields. ] - Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix from Namhyung Kim. - Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus Trippelsdorf. - Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present, from Jiri Olsa" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (282 commits) perf trace: Add aliases for some syscalls perf probe: Print an enum type variable in "enum variable-name" format when showing accessible variables perf tools: Check libaudit availability for perf-trace builtin perf hists: Add missing period_* fields when collapsing a hist entry perf trace: New tool perf evsel: Export the event_format constructor perf evsel: Introduce rawptr() method perf tools: Use perf_evsel__newtp in the event parser perf evsel: The tracepoint constructor should store sys:name perf evlist: Introduce set_filter() method perf evlist: Renane set_filters method to apply_filters perf test: Add test to check we correctly parse and match syscall open parms perf evsel: Handle endianity in intval method perf evsel: Know if byte swap is needed perf tools: Allow handling a NULL cpu_map as meaning "all cpus" perf evsel: Improve tracepoint constructor setup tools lib traceevent: Fix error path on pevent_parse_event perf test: Fix build failure trace: Move trace event enable from fs_initcall to core_initcall tracing: Add an option for disabling markers ...

2012-09-13Merge branch 'core/rcu' into perf/coreIngo Molnar
Steve Rostedt asked for the merge of a single commit, into both the RCU and the perf/tracing tree: | Josh made a change to the tracing code that affects both the | work Paul McKenney and I are currently doing. At the last | Kernel Summit back in August, Linus said when such a case | exists, it is best to make a separate branch based off of his | tree and place the change there. This way, the repositories | that need to share the change can both pull them in and the | SHA1 will match for both. Whichever branch is pulled in first | by Linus will also pull in the necessary change for the other | branch as well. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
