Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 16:42:38 -0300 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...nel.org> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-perf-users@...r.kernel.org, Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 02/18] perf tools: Fix static build with newer toolchains From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org> 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.
