The dependencies in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile are incorrect. Before we
recurse to build $(BPF_IN_STATIC), we need to build its 'fixdep'
executable.
I can't use the usual shortcut from Makefile.include:
<target>: <sources> fixdep
because its 'fixdep' target relies on $(OUTPUT), and $(OUTPUT) differs
in the parent 'make' versus the child 'make' -- so I imitate it via
open-coding.
I tweak a few $(MAKE) invocations while I'm at it, because
1. I'm adding a new recursive make; and
2. these recursive 'make's print spurious lines about files that are "up
to date" (which isn't normally a feature in Kbuild subtargets) or
"jobserver not available" (see [1])
I also need to tweak the assignment of the OUTPUT variable, so that
relative path builds work. For example, for 'make tools/lib/bpf', OUTPUT
is unset, and is usually treated as "cwd" -- but recursive make will
change cwd and so OUTPUT has a new meaning. For consistency, I ensure
OUTPUT is always an absolute path.
And $(Q) gets a backup definition in tools/build/Makefile.include,
because Makefile.include is sometimes included without
tools/build/Makefile, so the "quiet command" stuff doesn't actually work
consistently without it.
After this change, top-level builds result in an empty grep result from:
$ grep 'cannot find fixdep' $(find tools/ -name '*.cmd')
[1] https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html
If we're not using $(MAKE) directly, then we need to use more '+'.

The 'fixdep' tool is used to post-process dependency files for various
reasons, and it runs after every object file generation command. This
even includes 'fixdep' itself.
In Kbuild, this isn't actually a problem, because it uses a single
command to generate fixdep (a compile-and-link command on fixdep.c), and
afterward runs the fixdep command on the accompanying .fixdep.cmd file.
In tools/ builds (which notably is maintained separately from Kbuild),
fixdep is generated in several phases:
1. fixdep.c -> fixdep-in.o
2. fixdep-in.o -> fixdep
Thus, fixdep is not available in the post-processing for step 1, and
instead, we generate .cmd files that look like:
## from tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd
# cannot find fixdep (/path/to/linux/tools/objtool/libsubcmd//fixdep)
[...]
These invalid .cmd files are benign in some respects, but cause problems
in others (such as the linked reports).
Because the tools/ build system is rather complicated in its own right
(and pointedly different than Kbuild), I choose to simply open-code the
rule for building fixdep, and avoid the recursive-make indirection that
produces the problem in the first place.

All built targets need fixdep to be built first, before handling object
dependencies [1]. We're missing one such dependency before the libsubcmd
target.
This resolves .cmd file generation issues such that the following
sequence produces many fewer results:
$ git clean -xfd tools/
$ make tools/objtool
$ grep "cannot find fixdep" $(find tools/objtool -name '*.cmd')
In particular, only a buggy tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd
remains, due to circular dependencies of fixdep on itself.
Such incomplete .cmd files don't usually cause a direct problem, since
they're designed to fail "open", but they can cause some subtle problems
that would otherwise be handled by proper fixdep'd dependency files. [2]
[1] This problem is better described in commit abb26210a3 ("perf
tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build"). I don't
apply its solution here, because additional recursive make can be a bit
of overkill.
[2] Example failure case:
cp -arl linux-src linux-src2
cd linux-src2
make O=/path/to/out
cd ../linux-src
rm -rf ../linux-src2
make O=/path/to/out
Previously, we'd see errors like:
make[6]: *** No rule to make target
'/path/to/linux-src2/tools/include/linux/compiler.h', needed by
'/path/to/out/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/libsubcmd/exec-cmd.o'. Stop.
Now, the properly-fixdep'd .cmd files will ignore a missing
/path/to/linux-src2/...

empty-pmu-events.c exists so that builds may occur without python
being installed on a system. Manually updating empty-pmu-events.c to
be in sync with jevents.py is a pain, let's use jevents.py to generate
empty-pmu-events.c.
1) change jevents.py so that an arch and model of none cause
generation of a pmu-events.c without any json. Add a SPDX and
autogenerated warning to the start of the file.
2) change Build so that if a generated pmu-events.c for arch none and
model none doesn't match empty-pmu-events.c the build fails with a
cat of the differences. Update Makefile.perf to clean up the files
used for this.
3) update empty-pmu-events.c to match the output of jevents.py with
arch and mode of none.
Committer notes:
The firtst paragraph is confusing, so I asked and Ian further clarified:
---
The requirement for python hasn't changed.
Case 1: no python or NO_JEVENTS=1
Build happens using empty-pmu-events.c that is checked in, no python
is required.
Case 2: python
pmu-events.c is created by jevents.py (requiring python) and then built.
This change adds a step where the empty-pmu-events.c is created using
jevents.py and that file is diffed against the checked in version.
This stops the checked in empty-pmu-events.c diverging if changes are
made to jevents.py. If the diff causes the build to fail then you just
copy the diff empty-pmu-events.c over the checked in one.

There is a clash of the libbpf and capstone libraries, that ends up
with:
In file included from /usr/include/capstone/capstone.h:325,
from util/disasm.c:1513:
/usr/include/capstone/bpf.h:94:14: error: ‘bpf_insn’ defined as wrong kind of tag

So far we're just trying to avoid this by not having both headers
included in the same .c or .h file, do it one more time by moving the
BPF diassembly routines from util/disasm.c to util/disasm_bpf.c.
This is only being hit when building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1, i.e.
building with binutils-devel, that isn't the in the default build due to
a licencing clash. We need to reimplement what is now isolated in
util/disasm_bpf.c using some other library to have BPF annotation
feature that now only is available with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

To allow BPF filters for unprivileged users it needs to pin the BPF
objects to BPF-fs first. Let's add a new option to pin and unpin the
objects easily. I'm not sure 'perf record' is a right place to do this
but I don't have a better idea right now.
$ sudo perf record --setup-filter pin
The above command would pin BPF program and maps for the filter when the
system has BPF-fs (usually at /sys/fs/bpf/). To unpin the objects,
users can run the following command (as root).
$ sudo perf record --setup-filter unpin

Normally exception packets don't directly output a branch sample, but
if they're the last record in a buffer then they will. Because they
don't have addresses set we'll see the placeholder value
CS_ETM_INVAL_ADDR (0xdeadbeef) in the output.
Since commit 6035b6804b ("perf cs-etm: Support dummy address value for
CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet") we've used 0 as an externally visible "not set"
address value. For consistency reasons and to not make exceptions look
like an error, change them to use 0 too.
This is particularly visible when doing userspace only tracing because
trace is disabled when jumping to the kernel, causing the flush and then
forcing the last exception packet to be emitted as a branch. With kernel
trace included, there is no flush so exception packets don't generate
samples until the next range packet and they'll pick up the correct
address.

$ perf record -e cs_etm//u -- stress -i 1 -t 1

Since the "ins.name" is not set while using raw instruction,
'perf annotate' with insn-stat gives wrong data:
Result from "./perf annotate --data-type --insn-stat":
Annotate Instruction stats
total 615, ok 419 (68.1%), bad 196 (31.9%)
Name : Good Bad
-----------------------------------------------------------
: 419 196
This patch sets "dl->ins.name" in arch specific function
"check_ppc_insn" while initialising "struct disasm_line".
Also update "ins_find" function to pass "struct disasm_line" as a
parameter so as to set its name field in arch specific call.
With the patch changes:

Now perf uses the capstone library to disassemble the instructions in
x86. capstone is used (if available) for perf annotate to speed up.
Currently it only supports x86 architecture.
This patch includes changes to enable this in powerpc.
For now, only for data type sort keys, this method is used and only
binary code (raw instruction) is read. This is because powerpc approach
to understand instructions and reg fields uses raw instruction.
The "cs_disasm" is currently not enabled. While attempting to do
cs_disasm, observation is that some of the instructions were not
identified (ex: extswsli, maddld) and it had to fallback to use objdump.
Hence enabling "cs_disasm" is added in comment section as a TODO for
powerpc.

Use the raw instruction code and macros to identify memory instructions,
extract register fields and also offset.
The implementation addresses the D-form, X-form, DS-form instructions.
Two main functions are added.
New parse function "load_store__parse" as instruction ops parser for
memory instructions.
Unlike other parsers (like mov__parse), this one fills in the
"multi_regs" field for source/target and new added "mem_ref" field. No
other fields are set because, here there is no need to parse the
disassembled code and arch specific macros will take care of extracting
offset and regs which is easier and will be precise.
In powerpc, all instructions with a primary opcode from 32 to 63
are memory instructions. Update "ins__find" function to have "raw_insn"
also as a parameter.
