So the rule has been: What are the kernel requirements for the
toolchain? tools/perf/ should build with that.

So we could use -Og if it works, like Kbuild does it:

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-mno-fp-ret-in-387)

the 'cc-option' Make function does some magic of silently calling GCC
with that option and observing the result.

See:

scripts/Kbuild.include:cc-option = $(call try-run,\

I am sorry, I did mistake in understanding of DEBUG variable.
Following patch should be fixed, except missing auto-detection
of -Og option.

Unfortunately, following hunk does not work, no -Ox is added to CFLAGS?

-- CFLAGS += -Og
++ CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Og,-O0)

I don't know if we have this cc-option, perhaps Ingo is suggesting
we get it in tools/build/? Or include scripts/Kbuild.include and
then use it?

I.e. we have checks to see if we can use, for instance
-fstack-protector-all, see tools/build/feature/Makefile, using this
cc-option thing, importing it from Kbuild would solve the issue at
hand in a definitive way and in line with what we have been
pursuing: to make the tools/ build system be based on Kbuild.

So I'd suggest copying any necessary functions instead of outright
including all of Kbuild in the tooling build system which creates
non-trivial dependencies that is not necessarily tested as thoroughly
on the kbuild side as on the tooling side.

Thanks,

Ingo


Hi.

Thanks for advice, I copied necessary functions to include/utilities.mak.
Following patch works for, tested both with a compiler capable of -Og and
a not capable one.

Thanks,
Martin
Currently, GCC optimizes -O6 same as -O3 level, thus change the value
to -O6.
Right optimize debugging experience is given by passing -Og to compiler.
Assign default value for pointers that are identified by compiler as
non-initialized.
