perf build: Fix up broken capstone feature detection fast path
The capstone devel headers define 'struct bpf_insn' in a way that clashes with what is in the libbpf devel headers, so we so far need to avoid including both. This is happening on the tools/build/feature/test-all.c file, where we try building all the expected set of libraries to be normally available on a system: ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output In file included from test-bpf.c:3, from test-all.c:150: /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:77:8: error: ‘bpf_insn’ defined as wrong kind of tag 77 | struct bpf_insn { | ^~~~~~~~ ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output When doing so there is a trick where we define main to be main_test_libcapstone, then include the individual tools/build/feture/test-libcapstone.c capability query test, and then we undef 'main' because we'll do it all over again with the next expected library to be tested (at this time 'lzma'). To complete this mechanism we need to, in test-all.c 'main' routine, to call main_test_libcapstone(), which isn't being done, so the effect of adding references to capstone in test-all.c are not achieved. The only thing that is happening is that test-all.c is failing to build and thus all the tests will have to be done individually, which nullifies the test-all.c single build speedup. So lets remove references to capstone from test-all.c to see if this makes it build again so that we get faster builds or go on fixing up whatever is preventing us to get that benefit. Nothing: after this fix we get a clean test-all.c build and get the build speedup back: ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all. test-all.bin test-all.d test-all.make.output ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ ldd /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.bin linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007f13277a1000) libpython3.12.so.1.0 => /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 (0x00007f1326e00000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f13274be000) libtraceevent.so.1 => /lib64/libtraceevent.so.1 (0x00007f1327496000) libtracefs.so.1 => /lib64/libtracefs.so.1 (0x00007f132746f000) libcrypto.so.3 => /lib64/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007f1326800000) libunwind-x86_64.so.8 => /lib64/libunwind-x86_64.so.8 (0x00007f1327452000) libunwind.so.8 => /lib64/libunwind.so.8 (0x00007f1327436000) liblzma.so.5 => /lib64/liblzma.so.5 (0x00007f1327403000) libdw.so.1 => /lib64/libdw.so.1 (0x00007f1326d6f000) libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007f13273e2000) libelf.so.1 => /lib64/libelf.so.1 (0x00007f1326d53000) libnuma.so.1 => /lib64/libnuma.so.1 (0x00007f13273d4000) libslang.so.2 => /lib64/libslang.so.2 (0x00007f1326400000) libperl.so.5.38 => /lib64/libperl.so.5.38 (0x00007f1326000000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f1325e0f000) libzstd.so.1 => /lib64/libzstd.so.1 (0x00007f1326741000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f13277a3000) libbz2.so.1 => /lib64/libbz2.so.1 (0x00007f1326d3f000) libcrypt.so.2 => /lib64/libcrypt.so.2 (0x00007f1326d07000) ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ And when having capstone-devel installed we get it detected and linked with perf, allowing us to benefit from the features that it enables: ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ rpm -q capstone-devel capstone-devel-5.0.1-3.fc40.x86_64 ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ ldd /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/perf | grep capstone libcapstone.so.5 => /lib64/libcapstone.so.5 (0x00007fe6a5c00000) ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/perf -vv | grep cap libcapstone: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ Fixes: 8b767db3309595a2 ("perf: build: introduce the libcapstone") Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Changbin Du <changbin.du@huawei.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Zry0sepD5Ppa5YKP@x1 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
