[PATCH v1 0/7] Refactor perf python module build

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed Jun 12 2024 - 14:34:39 EST


Refactor the perf python module build to instead of building C files
it links libraries. To support this make static libraries for tests,
ui, util and pmu-events. Doing this allows fewer functions to be
stubbed out, importantly parse_events is no longer stubbed out which
will improve the ability to work with heterogeneous cores.

Patches 1 to 5 add static libraries for existing parts of the perf
build.

Patch 6 adds the python build using libraries rather than C source
files.

Patch 7 cleans up the python dependencies and removes the no longer
needed python-ext-sources.

Ian Rogers (7):
perf ui: Make ui its own library
perf pmu-events: Make pmu-events a library
perf test: Make tests its own library
perf bench: Make bench its own library
perf util: Make util its own library
perf python: Switch module to linking libraries from building source
perf python: Clean up build dependencies
