|
+How to compile perf for Android
|
|
|
+=========================================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I. Set the Android NDK environment
|
|
|
+------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+(a). Use the Android NDK
|
|
|
+------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+1. You need to download and install the Android Native Development Kit (NDK).
|
|
|
+Set the NDK variable to point to the path where you installed the NDK:
|
|
|
+ export NDK=/path/to/android-ndk
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. Set cross-compiling environment variables for NDK toolchain and sysroot.
|
|
|
+For arm:
|
|
|
+ export NDK_TOOLCHAIN=${NDK}/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
|
|
|
+ export NDK_SYSROOT=${NDK}/platforms/android-9/arch-arm
|
|
|
+For x86:
|
|
|
+ export NDK_TOOLCHAIN=${NDK}/toolchains/x86-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/i686-linux-android-
|
|
|
+ export NDK_SYSROOT=${NDK}/platforms/android-9/arch-x86
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This method is not working for Android NDK versions up to Revision 8b.
|
|
|
+perf uses some bionic enhancements that are not included in these NDK versions.
|
|
|
+You can use method (b) described below instead.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+(b). Use the Android source tree
|
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+1. Download the master branch of the Android source tree.
|
|
|
+Set the environment for the target you want using:
|
|
|
+ source build/envsetup.sh
|
|
|
+ lunch
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. Build your own NDK sysroot to contain latest bionic changes and set the
|
|
|
+NDK sysroot environment variable.
|
|
|
+ cd ${ANDROID_BUILD_TOP}/ndk
|
|
|
+For arm:
|
|
|
+ ./build/tools/build-ndk-sysroot.sh --abi=arm
|
|
|
+ export NDK_SYSROOT=${ANDROID_BUILD_TOP}/ndk/build/platforms/android-3/arch-arm
|
|
|
+For x86:
|
|
|
+ ./build/tools/build-ndk-sysroot.sh --abi=x86
|
|
|
+ export NDK_SYSROOT=${ANDROID_BUILD_TOP}/ndk/build/platforms/android-3/arch-x86
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+3. Set the NDK toolchain environment variable.
|
|
|
+For arm:
|
|
|
+ export NDK_TOOLCHAIN=${ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN}/arm-linux-androideabi-
|
|
|
+For x86:
|
|
|
+ export NDK_TOOLCHAIN=${ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN}/i686-linux-android-
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+II. Compile perf for Android
|
|
|
+------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+You need to run make with the NDK toolchain and sysroot defined above:
|
|
|
+ make CROSS_COMPILE=${NDK_TOOLCHAIN} CFLAGS="--sysroot=${NDK_SYSROOT}"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+III. Install perf
|
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+You need to connect to your Android device/emulator using adb.
|
|
|
+Install perf using:
|
|
|
+ adb push perf /data/perf
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you also want to use perf-archive you need busybox tools for Android.
|
|
|
+For installing perf-archive, you first need to replace #!/bin/bash with #!/system/bin/sh:
|
|
|
+ sed 's/#!\/bin\/bash/#!\/system\/bin\/sh/g' perf-archive >> /tmp/perf-archive
|
|
|
+ chmod +x /tmp/perf-archive
|
|
|
+ adb push /tmp/perf-archive /data/perf-archive
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+IV. Environment settings for running perf
|
|
|
+------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+Some perf features need environment variables to run properly.
|
|
|
+You need to set these before running perf on the target:
|
|
|
+ adb shell
|
|
|
+ # PERF_PAGER=cat
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+IV. Run perf
|
|
|
+------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+Run perf on your device/emulator to which you previously connected using adb:
|
|
|
+ # ./data/perf
|
