From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
Hi all,
this is basically a new rediff of the patchset against 3.4-rc2 along with integrating all comments/reviews I got from the last iteration. If there are none this time, I would like to suggest merging this, maybe through -tip or Arnaldo's perf tree.
State of the affairs on how to use it are in the 4/4 patch, adding them here too:
Now you can do
$ make tools/<toolname>
from the toplevel kernel directory and have the respective tool built.
If you want to build and install it, do
$ make tools/<toolname>_install
$ make tools/<toolname>_clean
should clean the respective tool directories.
If you want to clean all in tools, simply do
$ make tools/clean
Also, if you want to get what the possible targets are, simply calling
$ make tools/
should give you the short help.
$ make tools/install
installs all tools, of course. Doh.
Thanks.
Changelog: ==========
* v3:
Yet another version of the toplevel Makefile integration of tools/. This round gives you the ability to build the tools from the toplevel Makefile (explanation below can be found also in patch 4/4's commit message):
"Now you can do
$ make tools/<toolname>
from the toplevel kernel directory and have the respective tool built.
If you want to build and install it, do
$ make tools/<toolname> tinstall
The install target is called "tinstall" so that there's no conflict with the main kernel install target and should mean "tool install".
$ make tools/ <toolname>_clean
should clean the respective tool directories.
If you want to clean all in tools, simply do
$ make tools/ cleanall
Also, if you want to get what the possible targets are, simply calling
$ make tools/
should give you the short help."
Also included are all suggestions from the last time.
Thanks.
* v2:
here's a refreshed version from yesterday incorporating all comments and suggestions along with a third patch that adds a 'help' target as the default one causing the following below. Btw, Arnaldo, could you please pick those up if there are no complaints since the first patch touches perf and I don't have a clear idea who else to send it to anyway :).
Thanks.
$ make Possible targets:
cpupower - a tool for all things x86 CPU power firewire - the userspace part of nosy, an IEEE-1394 traffic sniffer lguest - a minimal 32-bit x86 hypervisor perf - Linux performance measurements tool slub - slabs reporting tool turbostat - Intel CPU idle stats and freq reporting tool usb - USB testing tools virtio - vhost test module x86_energy_perf_policy - Intel energy policy tool
Cleaning targets:
all of the above with the "_clean" string appended cleans the respective build directory. clean: a summary clean target to clean _all_ folders
* v1:
this is a refresh and carve-out of an old patchset. It adds a toplevel Makefile to tools/ so that one can build the tool of her/his liking by simply doing
$ cd tools/ $ make <toolname>
By default, we build perf. There's also a scripts/Makefile.lib now which should contain all make-related generic stuff which can be used by all tools' build process after including this file.
</Changelog>
Any comments/suggestions are welcome, thanks.
