This reverts commit 168200b6d6ea0cb5765943ec5da5b8149701f36a upstream. (but only from 4.19.y)
This revert would fail the build of 4.19.y with gcc10, I believe the original commit was introduced to address exactly this case. If this is intended behavior that 4.19.y is not compiled with newer gcc versions - then this revert is OK.
TTBOMK, this would not regress the build for newer gcc (specifically gcc10) as 4.19.158 is failing perf tool builds there as well (without the above commit reverted). Just as an example v4.19.y does not have cff20b3151cc ("perf tests bp_account: Make global variable static") which is there in v5.6-rc6 to fix build failures with 10.0.1.
But it did regress builds with older gcc's as for instance used in Debian buster (gcc 8.3.0) since 4.19.152.
Do I possibly miss something? If there is a solution to make it build with newer GCCs and *not* regress previously working GCC versions then this is surely the best outcome though.
I guess (and from what I understand in Leo's reply), porting of 95c6fe970a01 ("perf cs-etm: Change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata") should solve the issue for both older and newer gcc versions.
The breakage is now in [tools/perf/util/cs-etm-decoder/cs-etm-decoder.c] file (which uses traceid_list inside). This is solved with the above commit, which concealed traceid_list internally inside [tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c] file and exposed to [tools/perf/util/cs-etm-decoder/cs-etm-decoder.c] via cs_etm__get_cpu() call.
Can you try out to port that commit to see if that would solve your regression?
So something like the following will compile as well with the older gcc version.
I realize: I mainline the order of the commits was:
95c6fe970a01 ("perf cs-etm: Change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata") 168200b6d6ea ("perf cs-etm: Move definition of 'traceid_list' global variable from header f ile")
But to v4.19.y only 168200b6d6ea was backported, and while that was done I now realize the comment was also changed including the change fom 95c6fe970a01.
Thus the proposed backported patch would drop the change in tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c to the comment as this was already done. Thecnically currently the comment would be wrong, because it reads:
/* RB tree for quick conversion between traceID and metadata pointers */
but backport of 95c6fe970a01 is not included.
Would the right thing to do thus be:
- Revert b801d568c7d8 "perf cs-etm: Move definition of 'traceid_list' global variable from header file"
- Backport 95c6fe970a01 ("perf cs-etm: Change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata")
- Backport 168200b6d6ea ("perf cs-etm: Move definition of 'traceid_list' global variable from header file")
Yes, I believe this would be the correct course of action here; this should cover the regression you've encountered and should ensure that perf builds on both the "old" and "new" gcc versions.
?
Leo ist that what you were proposing?

From 7d6b3668d8ae5d3aea8827670ade8ac43b92db4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Yan leo.yan@linaro.org Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 20:28:39 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf cs-etm: Change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata
commit 95c6fe970a0160cb770c5dce9f80311b42d030c0 upstream.
If packet processing wants to know the packet is bound with which ETM version, it needs to access metadata to decide that based on metadata magic number; but we cannot simply to use CPU logic ID number as index to access metadata sequential array, especially when system have hotplugged off CPUs, the metadata array are only allocated for online CPUs but not offline CPUs, so the CPU logic number doesn't match with its index in the array.
This patch is to change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata, thus it can use the tuple to retrieve metadata pointer according to traceID.
For safe accessing metadata fields, this patch provides helper function cs_etm__get_cpu() which is used to return CPU number according to traceID; cs_etm_decoder__buffer_packet() is the first consumer for this helper function.
