The Problem
===========

Currently the presence of a feature is checked with a combination of
perf version --build-options and greps, such as:

    perf version --build-options | grep " on .* HAVE_FEATURE"

Proposed solution
=================

As suggested by contributors in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/ZMPWk5K63tadmDlU@kernel.org/

Introduce a subcommand "perf check --feature", with which
scripts can test for presence of a feature, such as:

    perf check --feature HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT

    or

    perf check --feature libtraceevent

The usage of "perf version --build-options | grep" has been replaced in two
tests, with "perf check --feature" command

Also, to not duplicate the same feature list at multiple places, a new global
'supported_features' array has been introduced in builtin.h, so both commands
'perf check --feature' and 'perf version --build-options' use the same array

'supported_features' feature is an array of 'struct feature_support', which
also has the name of the feature, macro used to test it's presence, and a
is_builtin member, which will be 0 if feature not built-in, and 1 if built-in

Architectures Tested
====================
* x86_64
* ppc64le

Git tree
========

Git tree with this patch series applied for testing:
https://github.com/adi-g15-ibm/linux/tree/perf-check-feature-v6

Changelog
=========
V6
+ rebased to perf-tools-next/perf-tools-next
+ modified patch #1 to include FEATURE_SUPPORT("bpf_skeletons", HAVE_BPF_SKEL)

V5
+ invert return value of 'has_support', but return value of perf check --feature
according to shell convention

V4
+ invert return value of perf check --feature

V3
+ simplified has_support code in builtin-check.c (patch #1)
+ modified patch #3 and patch #4 according to change in return value in patch #1

V2
+ improved the patch series with suggestions from Namhyung
+ fix incorrect return value, added -q option, and moved array definition to
  perf-check.c

V1
+ changed subcommand name to 'perf check --feature'
+ added documentation for perf check
+ support both macro (eg. HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT), and name (eg. libtraceevent) as
  input to 'perf check --feature'
+ change subject and descriptions of all patch mentioning perf check instead of
  perf build

V0: Previous patch series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20230825061125.24312-1-adityag@linux.ibm.com/

Currently the presence of a feature is checked with a combination of
perf version --build-options and greps, such as:

    perf version --build-options | grep " on .* HAVE_FEATURE"

Instead of this, introduce a subcommand "perf check --feature", with which
scripts can test for presence of a feature, such as:

    perf check --feature HAVE_FEATURE

'perf check --feature' command is expected to have exit status of 0 if
feature is built-in, and 1 if it's not built-in or if feature is not known.

An array 'supported_features' has also been introduced that can be used by
other commands like 'perf version --build-options', so that new features
can be added in one place, with the array

+NAME
+----
+perf-check - check features in perf
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'perf check' [<options>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+With no options given, the 'perf check' just prints the perf version
+on the standard output.
+
+If the option '--feature' is given, then status of feature is printed
+on the standard output (unless '-q' is also passed), ie. whether it is
+compiled-in/built-in or not.
+Also, 'perf check --feature' returns with exit status 0 if the feature
+is built-in, otherwise returns with exit status 1.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-q::
+		Do not print any messages or warnings
+
+--feature::
+        Print whether a feature is compiled-in or not. A feature name/macro is
+        required to be passed after this flag
+
+        Example Usage:
+                perf check --feature libtraceevent
+                perf check --feature HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT

It was a simple error, please be more careful next time.

I'm testing the rest of the patchset now.

Please resubmit when you address the problem fixed with this patch and:

Mussing newline, why print the version again? What is that "perf check "
prefix for?

[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$ perf check --feature traceevent
perf check 6.6.rc1.g78fa196349bc
Feature not known: traceevent[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$

Why should we require "--feature"? The following format is descriptive
enough:

[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$
[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$ perf check traceevent
perf check 6.6.rc1.g78fa196349bc
[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$

So I had to go back and use:

[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$ perf -vv
perf version 6.6.rc1.g78fa196349bc
                 dwarf: [ on  ]  # HAVE_DWARF_SUPPORT
    dwarf_getlocations: [ on  ]  # HAVE_DWARF_GETLOCATIONS_SUPPORT
         syscall_table: [ on  ]  # HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT
                libbfd: [ OFF ]  # HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT
            debuginfod: [ on  ]  # HAVE_DEBUGINFOD_SUPPORT
                libelf: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBELF_SUPPORT
               libnuma: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBNUMA_SUPPORT
numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBNUMA_SUPPORT

             get_cpuid: [ on  ]  # HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT
                   bpf: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
                   aio: [ on  ]  # HAVE_AIO_SUPPORT
                  zstd: [ on  ]  # HAVE_ZSTD_SUPPORT
               libpfm4: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBPFM
         libtraceevent: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
         bpf_skeletons: [ on  ]  # HAVE_BPF_SKEL
[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$

To see (some) of the features, please add a:

# perf check --list-features

So that we can get that features array printed.

Some other feature requests:

[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$ perf check --feature libtraceevent,libbpf_support
perf check 6.6.rc1.g78fa196349bc
Feature not known: libtraceevent,libbpf_support[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$

This should return true if both are available.

Also, shouldn't be --quiet be the default since this is being designed
for use in scripts?

I thought we might want to extend the functionality of the check
command later.  Maybe we can check how many perf counters
are supported or which sysctl settings are affected and so on.

Maybe we need to make '--feature' option to a sub-command
like `perf check feature xxx`.  So it cannot be mixed with others
later.

Sounds good.

I don't know.. users might want to see the result instead
of checking the return value.

     libtraceevent: [ on  ]
    libbpf_support: [ OFF ]

True, 'perf check' is intended to be extended.
We can make it 'perf check feature libtraceevent', but any extra flags etc to
'perf check feature' can be equally verbose of what was intended to be a replacement
for 'perf version --build-options | grep "libtraceevent.*on"'

This was done, so that the proposed 'perf check' command could be extended
in future for other usage also, and not just for checking if a feature is
available or not

In initial versions of this patch series, it was implemented also
'perf build --has libtraceevent', though with discussions, we arrived at a new
sucommand 'perf check', and checking if a feature is enabled is done just
with a flag 'perf check --feature', so that 'perf check' can be extended in
future.

This is already there in 'perf version --build-options' command. And that is the
command which was being used by scripts to check if a feature is enabled or not.

This can be done. Sure.

It will mostly be used by scripts only, but still if used as a command by any
user, it's intended that they also see whether feature was enabled or not,
instead of relying on the exit code.

Thanks for your reviews, and fixing the mistake I made.

Now that the feature list has been duplicated in a global
'supported_features' array, use that array instead of manually checking
status of built-in features.

This helps in being consistent with commands such as 'perf check --feature',
so commands can use the same array, and any new feature can be added at
one place, in the 'supported_features' array

Currently we use output of 'perf version --build-options', to check
whether perf was built with libtraceevent support.

Instead, use 'perf check --feature libtraceevent' to check for
libtraceevent support.

In probe_vfs_getname.sh, current we use "perf record --dry-run"
to check for libtraceevent and skip the test if perf is not
build with libtraceevent. Change the check to use "perf check --feature"
option

>     perf check --feature HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
> 
>     or
> 
>     perf check --feature libtraceevent
> 
> The usage of "perf version --build-options | grep" has been replaced in two
> tests, with "perf check --feature" command
> 
> Also, to not duplicate the same feature list at multiple places, a new global
> 'supported_features' array has been introduced in builtin.h, so both commands
> 'perf check --feature' and 'perf version --build-options' use the same array
> 
> 'supported_features' feature is an array of 'struct feature_support', which
> also has the name of the feature, macro used to test it's presence, and a
> is_builtin member, which will be 0 if feature not built-in, and 1 if built-in
