Commit Message

John Garry Nov. 6, 2019, 1 p.m. UTC
Currently when cross compiling perf tool for ARM64 on my x86 machine I get
this error:
arch/arm64/util/sym-handling.c:9:10: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gelf.h>

For the build, libelf is reported off:
Auto-detecting system features:
...
...                        libelf: [ OFF ]

Indeed, test-libelf is not built successfully:
more ./build/feature/test-libelf.make.output
test-libelf.c:2:10: fatal error: libelf.h: No such file or directory
 #include <libelf.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

I have no such problems natively compiling on ARM64, and I did not
previously have this issue for cross compiling. Fix by relocating
the gelf.h include.

I marked this as RFC as I am suspicious that I have seen no other
reports, and whether fixing up the libelf.h include issue is the proper
approach.

there was recent change that check on cpuid and quits:
  608127f73779 perf top: Initialize perf_env->cpuid, needed by the per arch annotation init routine

Arnaldo,
maybe this should be just a warning/info, because it seems to be related
to annotations only..?

get_cpuid is defined only for s390/x86/powerpc, so I guess it won't work
on the rest as well

ok, this is new code. I obviously didn't check the git history...

But, apart from this, there are many other places where get_cpuid() is 
called. I wonder what else we're missing out on, and whether we should 
still add it.

Thanks,
John

right, I was just wondering how come vendor events are working for you,
but realized we have get_cpuid_str being called in there ;-)

I think we should add it as you have it prepared already,
could you post it with bigger changelog that would explain
where it's being used for arm?

ok, I can look to do that.

But, as you know, we still need to fix perf top for other architectures 
affected.

Right, my bad, I'll look into making this just a debug message and then
check in the annotation code when this is really needed to show an
error/popup window :-\

Right, I need to make that just a pr_debug() message and then check in
the annotation code when that is needed to see if it is set, if not,
then show a popup error message and refuse to do whatever annotation
feature requires that.

Anyway, your patch should make sense and provide info that the ARM64
annotation may use now or in the future.

Hi Jirka,

I reported metricgroup cannot work on ARM64 before, however, no one can come up with a solution, could you take a look how to fix it? Thanks a lot!

You can refer to below link for more info:

I've also seen the similar problem when I was looking to add support
for 'perf kvm stat' on arm64 [1] (which though got stuck due to some
other reasons for a very long time :(

It would be great if your patch can address this issue!
