The perf build process auto-detects features and packages already
installed for its build. This is done in directory tools/build/feature.
This directory contains small sample programs. When they successfully
compile the necessary prereqs in form of libraries and header files are
present.
Such a check is also done for libtracefs. And this check fails:
Output before:
# rm -f test-libtracefs.bin; make test-libtracefs.bin
gcc -MD -Wall -Werror -o test-libtracefs.bin test-libtracefs.c \
> test-libtracefs.make.output 2>&1 -ltracefs
make: *** [Makefile:211: test-libtracefs.bin] Error 1
# cat test-libtracefs.make.output
In file included from test-libtracefs.c:2:
/usr/include/tracefs/tracefs.h:11:10: fatal error: \
event-parse.h: No such file or directory
11 | #include <event-parse.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
#
The root cause of this compile error is commit 880885d9c22e
("libtracefs: Remove "traceevent/" from referencing libtraceevent
headers") in the libtracefs project hosted here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/
That mentioned patch removes the traceevent/ directory name from
the include statement, causing the file not to be included even
when the libtraceevent-devel package is installed. This package contains
the file referred to in tracefs/tracefs.h:
# rpm -ql libtraceevent-devel
/usr/include/traceevent
/usr/include/traceevent/event-parse.h <----- here
/usr/include/traceevent/event-utils.h
/usr/include/traceevent/kbuffer.h
/usr/include/traceevent/trace-seq.h
/usr/lib64/libtraceevent.so
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libtraceevent.pc
#
With this patch the compile succeeds.
Output after:
# rm -f test-libtracefs.bin; make test-libtracefs.bin
gcc -MD -Wall -Werror -o test-libtracefs.bin test-libtracefs.c \
> test-libtracefs.make.output 2>&1 -I/usr/include/traceevent -ltracefs
#
Committer testing:
$ make -k BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 CORESIGHT=1 O=/tmp/build/perf-tools -C tools/perf install-bin

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.
