commit 3d1d57debee2d342a47615707588b96658fabb85 upstream.
Since 66dfdff03d196e51 ("perf tools: Add Python 3 support") we don't use
the tools/build/feature/test-libpython-version.c version in any Makefile
feature check:
$ find tools/ -type f | xargs grep feature-libpython-version
$
The only place where this was used was removed in 66dfdff03d196e51:
- ifneq ($(feature-libpython-version), 1)
- $(warning Python 3 is not yet supported; please set)
- $(warning PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG appropriately.)
- $(warning If you also have Python 2 installed, then)
- $(warning try something like:)
- $(warning $(and ,))
- $(warning $(and ,) make PYTHON=python2)
- $(warning $(and ,))
- $(warning Otherwise, disable Python support entirely:)
- $(warning $(and ,))
- $(warning $(and ,) make NO_LIBPYTHON=1)
- $(warning $(and ,))
- $(error $(and ,))
- else
- LDFLAGS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LDFLAGS)
- EXTLIBS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LIBADD)
- LANG_BINDINGS += $(obj-perf)python/perf.so
- $(call detected,CONFIG_LIBPYTHON)
- endif
And nowadays we either build with PYTHON=python3 or just install the
python3 devel packages and perf will build against it.
But the leftover feature-libpython-version check made the fast path
feature detection to break in all cases except when python2 devel files
were installed:
$ rpm -qa | grep python.*devel
python3-devel-3.9.7-1.fc34.x86_64
$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ;
$ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
HOSTCC /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
<SNIP>
$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
In file included from test-all.c:18:
test-libpython-version.c:5:10: error: #error
5 | #error
| ^~~~~
$ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
libpython3.9.so.1.0 => /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0 (0x00007fda6dbcf000)
$
As python3 is the norm these days, fix this by just removing the unused
feature-libpython-version feature check, making the test-all fast path
to work with the common case.
With this:
$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ;
$ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin |& head
make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
HOSTCC /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
HOSTLD /tmp/build/perf/fixdep-in.o
LINK /tmp/build/perf/fixdep
Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ on ]
... dwarf_getlocations: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
$ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
libpython3.9.so.1.0 => /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0 (0x00007f58800b0000)
$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
