[PATCH] perf: bpf: Fix build breakage due to libbpf

[Naveen N. Rao]

perf build is currently (v4.4-rc5) broken on powerpc:

bpf.c:28:4: error: #error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support
your arch.
 #  error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch.
    ^

Fix this by including tools/perf/config/Makefile.arch for the proper
$ARCH macro. While at it, remove redundant LP64 macro definition.

[PATCH] tools lib bpf: Support libbpf on PowerPC

[Wang Nan]

Support basic PowerPC compiling.

Checks BPF syscall number, turn off libbpf building on platform doesn't
support sys_bpf instead of blocking compiling.

Are you doing cross compiling? In this case you should provide an 'ARCH' 
to make
through cmdline. For example, this is how yocto help me build perf on
aarch64:

  $ make -C /patch/to/kernel/tools/perf O=/path/to/output \
           CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-oe-linux- ARCH=arm64 \
           CC=aarch64-oe-linux-gcc  --sysroot=... 
AR=aarch64-oe-linux-ar  ...

If you include Makefile.arch, I think you are seeking for a 'uname -m' 
result,
then you are not doing cross compiling, right? In this case what you 
need is providing
a __NR_bpf entry for your platform, because in some cases that value is 
overrided because
we have

$ find ./tools/ -name "unistd*"
./tools/perf/util/include/asm/unistd_64.h
./tools/perf/util/include/asm/unistd_32.h

You can find the reason of these two files through: 
eae7a755ee81129370c8f555b0d5672e6673735d

I posted a patch by replying this mail. I think you can find it through 
[1] soon.
I don't have PPC environment to check it. Could you please help me check 
this patch
in your environment?

I am not cross-compiling - the build error was with trying to build perf 
on ppc64le. Even with cross-compiling (and explicitly specifying $ARCH), 
Makefile.arch should still work.

I thought of just defining __NR_bpf for powerpc, but it will still break 
perf build for most other architectures. Moreover, 
tools/lib/bpf/Makefile explicitly includes headers from the linux kernel 
build tree (rather than the system headers) and I thought this was 
specifically to pull in __NR_bpf, among others -- just that we were not 
properly including the right headers since $ARCH was not defined. More 
specifically:

$ make V=1
<snip>
  gcc -Wp,-MD,./.bpf.o.d,-MT,bpf.o -g -Wall -DHAVE_LIBELF_MMAP_SUPPORT 
  -DHAVE_ELF_GETPHDRNUM_SUPPORT -Wbad-function-cast 
  -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k 
  -Winit-self -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes 
  -Wnested-externs -Wno-system-headers -Wold-style-definition -Wpacked 
  -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow -Wstrict-aliasing=3 -Wstrict-prototypes 
  -Wswitch-default -Wswitch-enum -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wformat 
  -Werror -Wall -fPIC -I. -I/root/linux/tools/include 
  -I/root/linux/arch//include/uapi -I/root/linux/include/uapi 
  -D"BUILD_STR(s)=#s"   -c -o bpf.o bpf.c

Notice // in -I/root/linux/arch//include/uapi. Hence, my patch to ensure 
the right headers get included.

I'm thinking the explicit __NR_bpf definitions are only needed for x86 
-- since I don't see the definitions in the kernel tree headers.

Naveen

I think we should drop __aarch64__ and __powerpc__ here since this 
builds fine on ppc without these hunks.

And, I think we should drop this hunk, but include the patch I sent.  
That ensures that the proper headers from the kernel source tree are 
included, so there won't be a need to explicitly define __NR_bpf for 
each architecture.

[PATCH v3 0/3] perf build: PowerPC: Fix build breakage due to libbpf

[Wang Nan]

Hi Naveen,

   Now I know your problem is in native building and the reason is
missing proper $(ARCH). I think other than that there's another problem
in libbpf's building: if your problem is unable to compile libbpf,
feature checker should find it and set NO_LIBBPF=1 for perf, so perf
building won't be blocked, only BPF related features should be turned
off. Also, I think including Makefile.arch from tools/scripts would be
better, because libbpf is at the same level with perf. So I separate
them into 3 patches. Please help me test it on PowerPC.

[PATCH v3 2/3] tools: Move Makefile.arch from perf/config to tools/scripts

[Wang Nan]

After this patch other directories can use this architecture detector
without directly including it from perf's directory. Libbpf would
utilize it to get proper $(ARCH) so it can receive correct uapi include
directory.

[PATCH v3 3/3] perf: bpf: Fix build breakage due to libbpf

[Wang Nan]

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

perf build is currently (v4.4-rc5) broken on powerpc:

bpf.c:28:4: error: #error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support
your arch.
 #  error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch.
    ^

Fix this by including tools/perf/config/Makefile.arch for the proper
$ARCH macro. While at it, remove redundant LP64 macro definition.

Here we depend on $(srctree), but libbpf's Makefile doesn't automatically
detect it. Directly 'make' in libbpf directory causes an error.

Will post a v4 for it.

Thank you.

[PATCH v4] perf: bpf: Fix build breakage due to libbpf

[Wang Nan]

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

perf build is currently (v4.4-rc5) broken on powerpc:

bpf.c:28:4: error: #error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support
your arch.
 #  error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch.
    ^

Fix this by including tools/scripts/Makefile.arch for the proper
$ARCH macro. While at it, remove redundant LP64 macro definition.

Also, since libbpf require $(srctree) now, detect the path of
srctree like perf.

You need all 3 patches. This v4 patch is a fix for previous v3 3/3 and I 
send
this patch by replying that one. I thought your email client is sorted 
by thread
so you can easily find it but it seems I was wrong...

The whole thread is:

[PATCH v3 0/3] perf build: PowerPC: Fix build breakage due to libbpf:

and [PATCH v3 3/3] breaks local building because the usage of "srctree", and
I fix it in this one.

Arrgh! I see the confusion - your v4 didn't explicitly mention patch 
number 3, so that must have made Arnaldo think that this patch alone is 
enough. Perhaps [PATCH v4 3/3] would have been clearer.

You mean v4 here.

Anyway, now that you've sent v4, it should be much clearer.

Sure, I'll try to do that now.

So I tried it again today, from the v6, the latest patch with that
subject line in my inbox, and I get this, after applying the first three

So, this doesn't seem to have been tessted, this part, specifically:

diff --git a/tools/perf/tests/make b/tools/perf/tests/make
index 8ea3dffc5065..cd9c3ce1a5c2 100644

+include $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.arch
 
 # FIXME looks like x86 is the only arch running tests ;-)
 # we need some IS_(32/64) flag to make this generic


----------------------------------------------------

Because $(srctree) is not set at that point, I copied the needed bits from
tools/perf/Makefile.perf and got the patch below, which makes:L

  make -C tools/perf build-test

Work for me again.

This should wrap up the day nicely, making me think of Jens Axboe recent
cool reaction to an untested patch:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5661C2BC.9030007@kernel.dk

:-)

Sorry. I though I have tested my patch by building perf, but didn't
realize perf/tests/make is not used in normal building. Doing build-test
takes too long, so I always forget it. Also, in my environment it can fail:

   LD 
/opt/wangnan/yocto_build/tmp-eglibc/work/generic_x86_64-oe-linux/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/perf-in.o
   LINK 
/opt/wangnan/yocto_build/tmp-eglibc/work/generic_x86_64-oe-linux/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/perf
   test: test -x ./perf
make[2]: *** [make_no_newt] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [build-test] Error 2

since I'm in a yocto building environment. I'll look into this problem 
and give a patch on it.

Thank you.

The important thing is that it gets caught before getting to Ingo, let
alone Linus, but if you get it before me, I'd appreciate as well 8-)

Is it possible to ask Fengguang Wu to help us adding perf building test
in his kbuild testing system?

Add Fengguang Wu into cc list.

Thank you.

I was thinking about this yesterday, when, IIRC, a change made by Kan
Liang (IIRC) to a kernel/events/ file, in the kernel proper, triggered a
warning about some casts and I got a warning, since I was in the commig
log CC list.

Since perf is in the kernel sources, and since we have the 'make -C
tools/perf build-test' harness, that would be really great to have it
hooked into the 0day bot...

Yes it should be handy to do so.
CC Philip, he's now maintaining the 0day system.
