Description of problem: /usr/bin/perf has introduced a new utility trace. To enable this feature, perf must be build with libaudit.h. From http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/3.7.1/2.fc18/data/logs/x86_64/build.log: + make -j16 -C tools/perf -s V=1 WERROR=0 HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE=1 prefix=/usr DESTDIR=/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.7.1-2.fc18.x86_64 install [..] Makefile:581: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev Which results in, [root@ibm-x3550m3-01 ~]# perf --help usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS] The most commonly used perf commands are: annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code archive Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file bench General framework for benchmark suites buildid-cache Manage build-id cache. buildid-list List the buildids in a perf.data file diff Read two perf.data files and display the differential profile evlist List the event names in a perf.data file inject Filter to augment the events stream with additional information kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory(slab) properties kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os list List all symbolic event types lock Analyze lock events record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data report Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile sched Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies) script Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output stat Run a command and gather performance counter statistics test Runs sanity tests. timechart Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload top System profiling tool. trace strace inspired tool ^^^^^^^^^^ Yes, it says trace is here. probe Define new dynamic tracepoints See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command. [root@ibm-x3550m3-01 ~]# perf trace perf: 'trace' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'. So here I'm asking to add audit-libs-devel to perf build dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.7.1-2.fc18 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install perf 2. run perf trace 3. run perf --help Actual results: perf trace isn't enabled. Expected results: perf trace is enabled. Additional info:
done in f18 git, will be in next build. already done in master.
