Subject: [PATCH v3 00/18] Support dynamic opening of capstone/llvm remove BUILD_NONDISTRO
Linking against libcapstone and libLLVM can be a significant increase
in dependencies and file size if building statically. For something
like `perf record` the disassembler and addr2line functionality won't
be used. Support dynamically loading these libraries using dlopen and
then calling the appropriate functions found using dlsym.
BUILD_NONDISTRO is used to build perf against the license incompatible
libbfd and libiberty libraries. As this has been opt-in for nearly 2
years, commit dd317df07207 ("perf build: Make binutil libraries opt
in"), remove the code to simplify the code base.
The patch series:
1) does some initial clean up;
2) moves the capstone and LLVM code to their own C files,
3) simplifies a little the capstone code;
4) adds perf_ variants of the functions that will either directly call
the function or use dlsym to discover it;
5) adds BPF JIT disassembly support to LLVM and capstone disassembly;
6) removes the BUILD_NONDISTRO code, reduces scope and removes what's possible;
7) adds fallback to srcline's addr2line so that llvm_addr2line is
tried first and then the forked command tried next, moving the code
for forking out of the main srcline.c file in the process.
The addr2line LLVM functionality is written in C++. To avoid linking
against libLLVM for this, a new LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC option is added where
the C++ code with the libLLVM dependency will be built into a
libperf-llvm.so and that dlsym-ed and called against. Ideally LLVM
would extend their C API to avoid this.
The libbfd BPF disassembly supported source lines, this wasn't ported
to the capstone and LLVM disassembly.
v3: Add srcline addr2line fallback trying LLVM first then forking a
process. This came up in conversation with Steinar Gunderson
<sesse@...gle.com>.
Tweak the cover letter message to try to address Andi Kleen's
<ak@...ux.intel.com> feedback that the series doesn't really
achieve anything.
v2: Add mangling of the function names in libperf-llvm.so to avoid
potential infinite recursion. Add BPF JIT disassembly support to
LLVM and capstone. Add/rebase the BUILD_NONDISTRO cleanup onto the
series from:
