From: root <root@riddick.tpb.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com>

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf warnings that
brakes the compilation, one example:

  tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
  tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
        up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);

The gcc docs says:
 To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
 function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
 has been truncated.

Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code
either properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't
care for truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf
calls to scnprintf calls, which actually 'checks' for the snprint
return value so the gcc stays silent.

From: root <root@riddick.tpb.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com>

The gcc 8 won't compile python extension code with
following errors (one example):

  python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible  function types from              \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’                       \
  uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to     \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
  _object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
     .ml_meth  = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,

The problem with PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that
its type is determined based on PyMethodDef::ml_flags
value, which we set as METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.

That indicates that the callback is expecting extra PyObject* arg,
and is actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base
PyMethodDef::ml_meth type stays PyCFunction.

Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing
this by silencing this warning for python.c build.

perf tools: Fix snprint warnings for gcc 8

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:

  tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
  tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
        up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);

The gcc docs says:

 To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
 function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
 has been truncated.

Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.

perf tools: Fix python extension build for gcc 8

The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):

  python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible  function types from              \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’                       \
  uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to     \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
  _object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
     .ml_meth  = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,

The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.

That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.

Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.

Commiter notes:

Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:

  fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  #

those have:

  clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)

The one in rawhide accepts that:

  clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
