[PATCH 1/1] perf tools: Bump the minimum Python version to 3.9

[PATCH 1/1] perf tools: Bump the minimum Python version to 3.9

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

perf's build only refused interpreters older than 3.6, the check added
when jevents.py started using f-strings, and jevents.py carried a
removesuffix() shim to stay usable on them.

The kernel itself requires Python 3.9.x since 5e25b972a22be224 ("docs:
changes: update Python minimal version"), so tools in the tree are
expected to work with it, and staying compatible with older
interpreters stopped paying off:

 - the PEP 585 generics, list[...], used by the type annotations in
   jevents.py and util/setup.py are only subscriptable from Python 3.9
   and, being evaluated at import or definition time, they break the
   build on RHEL 8's python3.6.8 with:

   TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable

 - ProcessPoolExecutor(initializer=, initargs=) requires Python 3.7, so
   generating pmu-events.c fails there as well.

Rather than spreading version guards and typing.List() workarounds for
interpreters that cannot be supported anyway, make 3.9 the floor: check
for it in Makefile.config, where the jevents generation check already
lives, and drop the removesuffix() shim, since str.removesuffix() was
added in 3.9.

RHEL 8 is in feature freeze, so those wanting a new perf and its python
features have to vendor a newer interpreter, just as
Documentation/process/changes.rst already asks for the kernel itself.

Tested with Python 3.9.22: perf builds, generating pmu-events.c and the
python binding, with byte for byte identical output to the build made
with the shim, while Python 3.8.20 and 3.6.15 are rejected with the
"older than 3.9" error. vermin reports no perf build file as requiring
more than 3.9, the only offender being the runtime script
scripts/python/mem-phys-addr.py, which the build doesn't run.

perf tools: Bump the minimum Python version to 3.9

This commit bumps the minimum Python version required by the perf build
from 3.6 to 3.9. It replaces the custom removesuffix() implementation
with the built-in str.removesuffix() and updates the version check in
Makefile.config.

[Severity: Low]
If a user with an older Python version follows the suggestion to build
with NO_JEVENTS=1, won't the build crash later on?

Because this version check is inside the ifneq ($(NO_JEVENTS),1) block,
setting NO_JEVENTS=1 bypasses it. However, tools/perf/util/setup.py also
requires Python 3.9 for the PEP 585 list[str] generic in functions like
clang_has_option():

tools/perf/util/setup.py:clang_has_option() {
    def clang_has_option(cc: str, cc_args: list[str], ...
}

When the build reaches setup.py to build the Python bindings (unless
NO_LIBPYTHON=1 is also specified), won't it fail with a cryptic TypeError
("'type' object is not subscriptable") instead of a clean Makefile error?

Should this Python 3.9 version requirement be enforced globally rather than
just for jevents generation, or should the suggestion to use NO_JEVENTS=1
be removed?

If it is just for type, you probably could do something like:

	from __future__ import annotations

if you have a too old python version and you use import typing
(I didn't test it myself - no idea it it would make any difference).

But yeah, 3.6 is too old for my taste ;-)

Double-checked with vermin:

 $ vermin -vv ./tools/perf/pmu-events/jevents.py
...
  'concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor(initargs)' requires !2, 3.7
  'concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor(initializer)' requires !2, 3.7
