Subject: [PATCH 7/8] perf build: Support build with clang
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 11:26:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925-perf_build_android_ndk-v1-7-8b35aadde3dc@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250925-perf_build_android_ndk-v1-0-8b35aadde3dc@arm.com>

Add support for building perf with clang. For cross compilation, the
Makefile dynamically selects target flag for corresponding arch.

This patch has been verified on x86_64 machine with Ubuntu distro, it
can build successfully for native target, and for cross building Arm64
and s390.

Example: native build on x86_64 / Ubuntu machine:

  $ HOSTCC=clang CC=clang CXX=clang++ make -C tools/perf

Example: cross building s390 target on x86_64 / Ubuntu machine:

  # Install x390x cross toolchain and headers
  $ sudo apt-get install gcc-s390x-linux-gnu g++-s390x-linux-gnu \
         libc6-dev-s390x-cross linux-libc-dev-s390x-cross

  # Build with clang
  $ HOSTCC=clang CC=clang CXX=clang++ \
    ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- \
    make -C tools/perf NO_LIBELF=1 NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 NO_LIBPYTHON=1
