      tools/perf/build: Fix feature-libunwind-debug-frame handling · e310718d
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
Set feature-libunwind-debug-frame. We don't want it in
CORE_FEATURE_TESTS because it's not the generic case, but we
need to set it in the !feature-libunwind case.

Also, because x86 distributions typically don't have
dwarf_find_debug_frame() unwinding method:

  test-libunwind-debug-frame.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `_Ux86_64_dwarf_find_debug_frame'

Restrict this new API to ARM for the time being.

With this patch test-all.c works again, so repeat perf builds
are  fast again:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]

       0,452899660 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,11% )

While with before it was:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]

       1,674001829 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,16% )

[ Includes fix to config/feature-checks/Makefile from Will Deacon. ]

      tools/perf/build: Fix timerfd feature check · bb4c5500
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      'feature_timerfd' is checked all the time and calculated explicitly,
in a serial fashion. Add it to CORE_FEATURE_TESTS which causes it to
be built in parallel, using the newfangled parallel build autodetection
code.

This shaves 137 msecs off the perf build time on my system, which
speeds up the common case cached build by 43%:

Before:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]
         0,453771441 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,09% )

After:

  comet:~/tip> perf stat --null --repeat 5 make -C tools/perf/
  [...]
         0,316290185 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0,24% )

      tools/perf/build: Remove the volatile-register-var feature check · 01287e2c
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
Namhyung Kim noticed that the volatile-register-var feature check
is superfluous:

 > The gcc manpage says this warning is enabled by -Wall, and we add -Wall
 > to CFLAGS before doing feature checks.  So all gcc versions that support
 > -Wvolatile-register-var enables it by default without this check and
 > older gcc versions will always fail the feature check.

Remove it - this will further speed up feature checks.

      tools/perf/build: Simplify the libelf logic · 5f36978c
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
Ulrich Drepper and Namhyung Kim reported that the libelf logic in
config/Makefile is duplicated in part.

Remove the duplication, and also remove the now unused FLAGS_LIBELF
variable.

      tools/perf/build: Pass through DEBUG parameter · fcf92585
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
Arnaldo reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not work anymore.

The reason is that 'Makefile' only passes it through to
'Makefile.perf' via the environment, but 'Makefile.perf'
checks that it's a command line option:

    ifeq ("$(origin DEBUG)", "command line")
      PERF_DEBUG = $(DEBUG)
    endif

So pass it through properly, and also clean up DEBUG parameter
handling while at it and fix a couple of annoyances:

 - DEBUG=0 used to be interpreted as 'debugging on'. Turn it
   into 'debugging off' instead.

 - Same was the case for 'DEBUG=' - turn that into debug-off
   as well.

 - Pass in just a clean, sanitized 'DEBUG' value and get rid of
   the intermediate, unnecessary PERF_DEBUG variable.

      perf tools: Separate lbfd check out of NO_DEMANGLE condition · 3e6a147d
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      
We fail build with NO_DEMANGLE with missing -lbfd externals error.
The reason is that we now use bfd code in srcline object:
  perf tools: Implement addr2line directly using libbfd

So we need to check/add -lbfd always now.
