From 0c6332e9d8b8f38a9d5f0cdd66c5575e76ad8995 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 16:43:04 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf python: Fix breakage introduced by the test_attr infrastructure The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call, checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept calls and do the checking. But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are linked on the python binding, breaking it: # perf test -v 15 15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled ---- end ---- Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! # Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only linked in the python binding. Now 'perf test' is happy again: # perf test 15 15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok # Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-0rsca2kn44b38rgdpr3tz6n5@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/tests/attr.c | 2 -- tools/perf/util/python.c | 9 +++++++++ tools/perf/util/util.c | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/tests/attr.c b/tools/perf/tests/attr.c index 25638a986257..05b5acbabe5d 100644 --- a/tools/perf/tests/attr.c +++ b/tools/perf/tests/attr.c @@ -33,8 +33,6 @@ extern int verbose; -bool test_attr__enabled; - static char *dir; void test_attr__init(void) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/python.c b/tools/perf/util/python.c index a2657fd96837..925e0c3e6d91 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/python.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/python.c @@ -1045,3 +1045,12 @@ error: if (PyErr_Occurred()) PyErr_SetString(PyExc_ImportError, "perf: Init failed!"); } + +/* + * Dummy, to avoid dragging all the test_attr infrastructure in the python + * binding. + */ +void test_attr__open(struct perf_event_attr *attr, pid_t pid, int cpu, + int fd, int group_fd, unsigned long flags) +{ +} diff --git a/tools/perf/util/util.c b/tools/perf/util/util.c index 5906e8426cc7..252b889ac8c2 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/util.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/util.c @@ -12,6 +12,8 @@ */ unsigned int page_size; +bool test_attr__enabled; + bool perf_host = true; bool perf_guest = false; -- 2.20.1
