* perf python: Use -Wno-redundant-decls to build with PYTHON=python3Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2018-11-041-1/+1

* perf tools: Fix python extension build for gcc 8Jiri Olsa2018-10-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c upstream. 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'?

* perf python: Filter out -specs=/a/b/c from the python binding cc optionsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2017-02-171-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -spec=/path/to/file can be used to change what gcc puts in the cc, ld, etc command lines, but this is not present in clang, filter it out at the setup.py file by changing python2's internal variable where it keeps its initial CFLAGS value. With this all of perf can be built in at least Fedora 25, fixing this problem: GEN /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so CC /tmp/build/perf/builtin-buildid-list.o clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument] clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument] error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1 Now I need to change all the containers where I have clang to build perf with it, so that we can check that in other distros (opensuse, debian, ubuntu, etc) this also works.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The util/python-ext-sources file contains source files required to build the python extension relative to $(srctree)/tools/perf, Such a file path $(FILE).c is handed over to the python extension build system, which builds the final object in the $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/$(FILE).o path. After the build is done all files from $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)lib/ are carried as the result binaries. Above system fails when we add source file relative to ../lib, which we do for: ../lib/bitmap.c ../lib/find_bit.c ../lib/hweight.c ../lib/rbtree.c All above objects will be built like: $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/bitmap.c $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/find_bit.c $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/hweight.c $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/rbtree.c which accidentally happens to be final library path: $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/lib/ Changing setup.py to pass full paths of source files to Extension build class and thus keep all built objects under $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)tmp directory.

* perf tools: Initial python bindingArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-01-301-0/+18
First clarifying that this kind of binding is not a replacement or an equivalent to the 'perf script' way of using python with perf. The 'perf script' way is to process events and look at a given script for some python function that matches the events to pass each event for processing. This is a python module, i.e. everything is driven from the python script, that merely uses "import perf" or "from perf import". perf script is focused on tracepoints, this binding is focused on profiling as an initial target. More work is needed to make available tracepoint specific variables as event variables accessible via this binding. There is one example of such usage model, in tools/perf/python/twatch.py, a tool to watch "cycles" events together with task (fork, exit) and comm perf events. For now, due to me not being able to grok how python distutils cope with building C extensions outside the sources dir the install target just builds it, I'm using it as: [root@emilia linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/ [root@emilia linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py cpu: 4, pid: 30126, tid: 30126 { type: mmap, pid: 30126, tid: 30126, start: 0x4, length: 0x82e9ca03, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 6, pid: 47, tid: 47 { type: mmap, pid: 47, tid: 47, start: 0x6, length: 0xbef87c36, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 1, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0x1, length: 0x775d1904, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 7, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0x7, length: 0xc750aeb6, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 5, pid: 2255, tid: 2255 { type: mmap, pid: 2255, tid: 2255, start: 0x5, length: 0x76669635, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 0, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0, length: 0x6422ef6b, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 2, pid: 2255, tid: 2255 { type: mmap, pid: 2255, tid: 2255, start: 0x2, length: 0xe078757a, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 1, pid: 5769, tid: 5769 { type: fork, pid: 30127, ppid: 5769, tid: 30127, ptid: 5769, time: 103893991270534} cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: comm, pid: 30127, tid: 30127, comm: ls } cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: exit, pid: 30127, ppid: 30127, tid: 30127, ptid: 30127, time: 103893993273024} The first 8 mmap events in this 8 way machine are a mistery that is still being investigated. More of the tools/perf/util/ APIs will be exposed via this python binding as the need arises. For now the focus is on creating events and processing them, symbol resolution is an obvious next step, with tracepoint variables as a close second step.
