    perf python: Fix breakage introduced by the test_attr infrastructure · 0c6332e9
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
    The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call,
    checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept
    calls and do the checking.
    
    But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are
    linked on the python binding, breaking it:
    
      # perf test -v 15
      15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       :
      --- start ---
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled
      ---- end ----
      Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
      #
    
    Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and
    providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only
    linked in the python binding.
    
    Now 'perf test' is happy again:
    
      # perf test 15
      15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       : Ok
