[PATCH v3 0/5] perf build: libtraceevent, libtracefs feature check with pkg-config

[Guilherme Amadio]

Hi Namhyung, Arnaldo,

Here is version 3 of the patchset. I see the change to send output to devnull
has already been applied, so I am submitting the remaining work only.

The difference with previous changes is that in v3 rather than add tests with
pkg-config to check if dependencies are actually installed, we just set the
flags and send any warning to devnull. The change that remains in this patchset
is the fix for the other tools, which were inadvertently broken when the include
for libtracefs changed from #include <tracefs/tracefs.h> to #include <tracefs.h>
since the flags for the feature check are not set in the other tools Makefiles,
it currently only works for perf. I recommend to either take at least patch 2/5
that moves setting the flags to tools/build/Makefile.feature or to revert the two
patches that have been applied. You can easily test the fix with the commands below:

make -B -C tools/verification/rv VF=1
make -B -C tools/tracing/latency VF=1
make -B -C tools/tracing/rtla VF=1

from the root of the repository. Only after the feature check flags are moved to
Makefile.feature that it also fixes the other tools. Apologies for the breakage
there.

Best regards,
-Guilherme

Steve, are you ok with having this patchset in the perf-tools tree?

I don't know as this is the first I've seen it. If you could have this
resend with me Cc'd and/or Cc linux-trace-devel@vger.kernel.org then I
can review and possibly ack it.

[PATCH v3 0/5] perf build: libtraceevent, libtracefs feature check with pkg-config

[Guilherme Amadio]

This patch series is a continuation of recent work to use pkg-config for feature
checks for libtraceevent and libtracefs.

The original intention of the first patches was to fix build issues with
libtracefs installed with its meson build system (used in Gentoo), which
installs headers in a different directory as the make build system. This has
been reported here: https://github.com/rostedt/libtracefs/issues/3

In order to fix the feature check, instead of using #include <tracefs/tracefs.h>
in tools/build/feature/test-libtracefs.c, we need to use #include <tracefs.h>
and add the appropriate -I flag for the include directory, which is what is now
done with pkg-config. An unintended consequence of this (reported by Thorsten)
was that other tools which also perform the same feature check for libtracefs
became broken, because the initial patch only set the include flag for perf in
tools/perf/Makefile.config.

This patch series fixes this issue by moving the feature check flags to the file
tools/build/Makefile.feature, which ensures the flags get set for all tools that
need them. I tried to write the new code in a way that would be easily extensible
to other dependencies that may be used via pkg-config as well.

There is no change in this new submission relative to the last (which has been
tested by Thorsten to fix the build issue in Fedora). The only change has been
to add in CC Steven Rostedt and the list linux-trace-devel@vger.kernel.org.

Best regards,
-Guilherme
