[ Upstream commit cc437642255224e4140fed1f3e3156fc8ad91903 ]
In Python3, the result of PyModule_Create (called from
scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c) is not automatically added to
sys.modules. See: https://bugs.python.org/issue4592
Below is the observed behavior without the fix:
# ldd /usr/bin/perf | grep -i python
libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => /usr/lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f8e1dfb2000)
# perf record /bin/false
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (17 samples) ]
# perf script -g python | cat
generated Python script: perf-script.py
# perf script -s ./perf-script.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./perf-script.py", line 18, in <module>
from perf_trace_context import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'perf_trace_context'
Error running python script ./perf-script.py
#
Committer notes:
To build with python3 use:
$ make -C tools/perf PYTHON=python3
Use a non-const variable to pass the 'name' arg to
PyImport_AppendInittab(), as python2.6 has that as 'char *', which ends
up trowing this in some environments:
CC /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-branch-options.o

util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c:1520:2: error: passing argument 1 of 'PyImport_AppendInittab' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
