Subject: [PATCH v2 00/17] Support dynamic opening of capstone/llvm remove BUILD_NONDISTRO
Linking against libcapstone and libLLVM can be a significant increase
in dependencies and size of memory footprint. 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.
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.
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:
