Subject: [PATCH] perf evsel: Rename evsel__increase_rlimit to rlimit__increase_nofile

evsel__increase_rlimit() helper does nothing with evsel, and description
of the functionality is inaccurate, rename it and move to util/rlimit.c.

By the way, fix a checkppatch warning about misplaced license tag:

WARNING: Misplaced SPDX-License-Identifier tag - use line 1 instead
#160: FILE: tools/perf/util/rlimit.h:3:
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1 */

No functional change.

Please run 'perf test' before sending patches upstream, I'm checking if
what is in perf-tools-next/perf-tools-next is building and I noticed
this:

⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ perf test -v python
Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
14: 'import perf' in python :

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python/perf.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: rlimit__increase_nofile
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: FAILED!
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$

The following patch cures it, Namhyung, can you please fold it and force
push perf-tools-next/perf-tools-next or let me know if you prefer that I
submit a patch fixing this separately.

Thanks for fixing this. I prefer having a separate fix.
Please send it as a formal patch.

Sorry, only rename helper and no function change.
I didn't consider the scenario that might affect test python.

I've submitted a fix that can be used if needed:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

Also, can we consider identifying this problem at the stage of compiling
the perf tool?


Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf python: Fix binding linkage due to rename and move of evsel__increase_rlimit()

The changes in ("perf evsel: Rename evsel__increase_rlimit to
rlimit__increase_nofile") ended up breaking the python binding that now
references the rlimit__increase_nofile function, add the util/rlimit.o
to the tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources to cure that.

This was detected by the 'perf test python' regression test:

$ perf test python

$ perf test -v python
Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc

Yes, I have:

$ alias m='rm -rf ~/libexec/perf-core/ ; make -k CORESIGHT=1 O=/tmp/build/$(basename $PWD) -C tools/perf install-bin && perf test python'

And use the 'm' alias to build perf.

I also run 'perf test' before sending patches upstream, in addition to:

make -C tools/perf build-test

I encourage everybody to do the same.

Additionally I run a long list of container tests on dozens of distros,
but those should really be running on some CI system :-\
