From 6bd76b8fabe157233e498931c3f9298ee7128a28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2017 15:45:10 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix static build with newer toolchains We can't pass --dynamic-list list into static build anymore, because compilers starts to scream about that. Fedora 26 started to fail build with following error: $ make LDFLAGS=-static ... /usr/bin/ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/7/../../../../lib64/libc.a(strcmp.o +)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie There's no sense for --dynamic-list in static build, because there's no .dynsym table in static binary. Consequently the traceevent plugins have never worked with static build, but it was quietly passed by. To fix this in future I think we should add support to compile plugins within the perf binary directly for static build.
