Refactor the perf python module build to instead of building C files it links libraries. To support this make static libraries for tests, ui, util and pmu-events. Doing this allows fewer functions to be stubbed out, importantly parse_events is no longer stubbed out which will improve the ability to work with heterogeneous cores. By not building .c files for the python module and for the build of perf, this should also help build times. Patch 1 adds '*.a' cleanup to the clean target. Patches 2 to 6 add static libraries for existing parts of the perf build. Patch 7 adds the python build using libraries rather than C source files. Patch 8 cleans up the python dependencies and removes the no longer needed python-ext-sources. v2: Add '*.a' cleanup to clean target. Add reviewed-by James Clark. Ian Rogers (8): perf build: Add '*.a' to clean targets perf ui: Make ui its own library perf pmu-events: Make pmu-events a library perf test: Make tests its own library perf bench: Make bench its own library perf util: Make util its own library perf python: Switch module to linking libraries from building source perf python: Clean up build dependencies tools/perf/Build | 14 +- tools/perf/Makefile.config | 5 + tools/perf/Makefile.perf | 83 +++- tools/perf/arch/Build | 4 +- tools/perf/arch/arm/Build | 4 +- tools/perf/arch/arm/tests/Build | 8 +- tools/perf/arch/arm/util/Build | 10 +- tools/perf/arch/arm64/Build | 4 +- tools/perf/arch/arm64/tests/Build | 8 +- tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/Build | 20 +- tools/perf/arch/csky/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/csky/util/Build | 6 +- tools/perf/arch/loongarch/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/loongarch/util/Build | 8 +- tools/perf/arch/mips/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/mips/util/Build | 6 +- tools/perf/arch/powerpc/Build | 4 +- tools/perf/arch/powerpc/tests/Build | 6 +- tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build | 24 +- tools/perf/arch/riscv/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/riscv/util/Build | 8 +- tools/perf/arch/s390/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/s390/util/Build | 16 +- tools/perf/arch/sh/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/sh/util/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/sparc/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/sparc/util/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/x86/Build | 6 +- tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/Build | 20 +- tools/perf/arch/x86/util/Build | 42 +- tools/perf/bench/Build | 46 +- tools/perf/scripts/Build | 4 +- tools/perf/scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Build | 2 +- .../perf/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/tests/Build | 140 +++---- tools/perf/tests/workloads/Build | 12 +- tools/perf/ui/Build | 18 +- tools/perf/ui/browsers/Build | 14 +- tools/perf/ui/tui/Build | 8 +- tools/perf/util/Build | 394 +++++++++--------- tools/perf/util/arm-spe-decoder/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/util/cs-etm-decoder/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/util/hisi-ptt-decoder/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/util/perf-regs-arch/Build | 18 +- tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources | 53 --- tools/perf/util/python.c | 271 +++++------- tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/Build | 4 +- tools/perf/util/setup.py | 33 +- 49 files changed, 624 insertions(+), 727 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources -- 2.45.2.627.g7a2c4fd464-goog
