The goal is to allow users to override linking of libraries that were automatically added to PERFLIBS.
EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS contains linker flags to be removed from LIBS while EXTRA_PERFLIBS contains linker flags to be added. My use case is to force certain library to be build statically, e.g. for libelf: EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS=-lelf EXTRA_PERFLIBS=path/libelf.a Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davi...@google.com> --- tools/perf/Makefile.perf | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile.perf b/tools/perf/Makefile.perf index 79fe31f20a17..685443085e1a 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Makefile.perf +++ b/tools/perf/Makefile.perf @@ -33,6 +33,11 @@ include ../scripts/utilities.mak # # Define EXTRA_CFLAGS=-m64 or EXTRA_CFLAGS=-m32 as appropriate for cross-builds. # +# Define EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS=-lmylib to exclude libmylib from the auto-generated +# EXTLIBS. +# +# Define EXTRA_PERFLIBS to pass extra libraries to PERFLIBS. +# # Define NO_DWARF if you do not want debug-info analysis feature at all. # # Define WERROR=0 to disable treating any warnings as errors. @@ -352,7 +357,8 @@ ifdef ASCIIDOC8 export ASCIIDOC8 endif -LIBS = -Wl,--whole-archive $(PERFLIBS) -Wl,--no-whole-archive -Wl,--start-group $(EXTLIBS) -Wl,--end-group +EXTLIBS := $(call filter-out,$(EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS),$(EXTLIBS)) +LIBS = -Wl,--whole-archive $(PERFLIBS) $(EXTRA_PERFLIBS) -Wl,--no-whole-archive -Wl,--start-group $(EXTLIBS) -Wl,--end-group ifeq ($(USE_CLANG), 1) CLANGLIBS_LIST = AST Basic CodeGen Driver Frontend Lex Tooling Edit Sema Analysis Parse Serialization -- 2.13.0.303.g4ebf302169-goog
