perf arm64: Generate system call table from asm/unistd.h
This should speed up accessing new system calls introduced with the kernel rather than waiting for libaudit updates to include them. Using the existing other arch scripts resulted in this error: tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls//mksyscalltbl: 25: printf: __NR3264_ftruncate: expected numeric value because, unlike other arches, asm-generic's unistd.h does things like: #define __NR_ftruncate __NR3264_ftruncate Turning the scripts printf's %d into a %s resulted in this in the generated syscalls.c file: static const char *syscalltbl_arm64[] = { [__NR3264_ftruncate] = "ftruncate", So we use the host C compiler to fold the macros, and print them out from within a temporary C program, in order to get the correct output: static const char *syscalltbl_arm64[] = { [46] = "ftruncate", Committer notes: Testing this with a container with an old toolchain breaks because it ends up using the system's /usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h, included from tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h when what is desired is for it to include tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. Since all that tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h is to set a define and then include asm-generic/unistd.h, do that directly and use tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h as the file to get the syscall definitions to expand. Testing it: tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl /gcc-linaro-5.4.1-2017.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc gcc tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h Now works and generates in the syscall string table. Before it ended up as: $ tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl /gcc-linaro-5.4.1-2017.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc gcc tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h static const char *syscalltbl_arm64[] = { <stdin>: In function 'main': <stdin>:257:38: error: '__NR_getrandom' undeclared (first use in this function) <stdin>:257:38: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in <stdin>:258:41: error: '__NR_memfd_create' undeclared (first use in this function) <stdin>:259:32: error: '__NR_bpf' undeclared (first use in this function) <stdin>:260:37: error: '__NR_execveat' undeclared (first use in this function) tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl: 47: tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl: /tmp/create-table-60liya: Permission denied }; $ Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180706163443.22626f5e9e10e5bab5e5c662@arm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
