For something like `perf record` the disassembler and addr2line functionality won't be used. Support dynamically loading these libraries using dlopen and then calling the appropriate functions found using dlsym. The patch series: 1) moves the capstone, LLVM and libbfd code to their own C files, 2) simplifies a little the capstone code; 3) adds perf_ variants of the functions that will either directly call the function or use dlsym to discover it; 4) adds BPF JIT disassembly support to in memory disassemblers (LLVM and capstone) by just directing them at the BPF info linear JIT instructions (note this doesn't support source lines); 5) adds fallback to srcline's addr2line so that llvm_addr2line is tried first, then the deprecated libbfd and then the forked command tried next, moving the code for forking out of the main srcline.c file in the process. The addr2line LLVM functionality is written in C++. To avoid linking against libLLVM for this, a new LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC option is added where the C++ code with the libLLVM dependency will be built into a libperf-llvm.so and that dlsym-ed and called against. Ideally LLVM would extend their C API to avoid this. v6: Refactor the libbfd along with capstone and LLVM, previous patch series had tried to avoid this by just removing the deprecated BUILD_NONDISTRO code. Remove the libtracefs removal into its own patch. v5: Rebase and comment typo fix. v4: Rebase and addition of a patch removing an unused struct variable. v3: Add srcline addr2line fallback trying LLVM first then forking a process. This came up in conversation with Steinar Gunderson . Tweak the cover letter message to try to address Andi Kleen's feedback that the series doesn't really achieve anything. v2: Add mangling of the function names in libperf-llvm.so to avoid potential infinite recursion. Add BPF JIT disassembly support to LLVM and capstone. Add/rebase the BUILD_NONDISTRO cleanup onto the series from: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250111202851.1075338-1-irogers@google.com/ Some other minor additional clean up.
