[PATCH 1/6] perf tools: pass PYTHON config to feature detection

[David Carrillo-Cisneros]

( This is a rebased version of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/7/662 )

Python's CC and link Makefile variables were not passed to feature
detection, causing feature detection to use system's Python rather than
PYTHON_CONFIG's one. This created a mismatch between the detected Python
support and the one actually used by perf when PYTHON_CONFIG is specified.

Fix it by moving Python's variable initialization to before feature
detection and pass FLAGS_PYTHON_EMBED to Python's feature detection's
build target.

[PATCH 2/6] tools build: fix feature detection redefinion of build flags

[David Carrillo-Cisneros]

This change is a follow up of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/2/16

The patch above avoided redefining CC, CXX and PKG_CONFIG in feature
detection. The patch was not merged due to a unsolved concern with
the -MD flag.

Later, commit c8c188679ccf ("tools build: Use the same CC for feature
  detection and actual build")
did the change for CC and CXX but not PKG_CONFIG.

This patch makes PKG_CONFIG consistent with CC and CXX and moves
the -MD to CFLAGS, as suggested by Jiri in the thread above.

Ok, applied the other

[PATCH 3/6] perf util: hint missing file when tool tips fail to load

[David Carrillo-Cisneros]

Besides memory allocation failure, tips.txt may fail to load
because the file is not found (a more likely cause).

Communicate that to the user in tips failure warning.

perf util: Hint missing file when tool tips fail to load

Besides memory allocation failure, tips.txt may fail to load because the
file is not found (a more likely cause).

Communicate that to the user in tips failure warning.

[PATCH 4/6] perf report: hint .perfconfig error when invalid sorting key

[David Carrillo-Cisneros]

My fat-fingering of sort keys in .perfconfig was a common cause of
perf report silently terminating without apparent error.

This was because 1) error in setup_sorting in cmd_report was ignored
and 2) no message was log in UI browser that would prevent UI from
exit before user prompt. Fix both.

there's UI init ahead of this code.. I had to move it
below your code to spot any error message

there's other errors further on.. perhaps we should move it even further ;-)
or cancel the ui before the error is printed

Probably canceling ui on error is the more robust way to go. I will
look into it.

So I'll wait for a v2 for this specific patch.

Before this patch this error:

  LINK     libperf-jvmti.so
/usr/lib/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/6/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lelf
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

was avoided with make NO_JVMTI=1.

So for this and the rest of the series, FWIW:

[PATCH 6/6] Revert "perf tools: Fix include of linux/mman.h"

[David Carrillo-Cisneros]

In https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/2/16 I reported a build error
that I believed was caused by wrong uapi includes. The synthom
 was fixed by Arnaldo in:

 commit 2f7db5557994 ("perf tools: Fix include of linux/mman.h")

but I was wrong attributing the problem to the uapi include.
The root cause was that I was using ARCH=x86_64, hence
using the wrong uapi include path. This explains why no one else
ran into this build problem.
