Subject: [PATCH v3 0/9] perf build: Support building with Clang
This series adds support for building perf with Clang, following the
discussion in [1]. Because the Android NDK uses Clang by default,
enabling Clang builds naturally covers Android as well.
The series is organized as follows:
- Patches 1~2: Fix two bugs found with Clang.
- Patches 3~7: Correct CROSS_ARCH, Disable thread safety analysis for
perl header, and dismiss Clang build warnings.
- Patches 8~9: Enable Clang in the Makefile and update the
documentation.
Testing:
Tested with linux-tools-container-builds [2], which based on Arnaldo's
build test container but with several fixes for cross building with
Clang:
- All clang native builds on x86_64 have passed.
- The cross builds for arm64/mips/mips64/mipsel/riscv64 have passed.
Only a pity thing is I cannot build successfully with clang for
ubuntu:20.04-x-powerpc64el (in below log, it only builds with GCC).
The cross config does not work well on Ubuntu 20.04 due to failure
"No gnu/libc-version.h found, please install glibc-dev[el]". I confirmed
that powerpc64el cross build can make success on Ubuntu 24.04, the
failure on Ubuntu 20.04 should not be caused by perf build.
