So, I have the fix below in my tree, no need for that __weak function
after all :-)

Jin, your bisect to something seeming unrelated:

c30fb4c perf build: Add missing FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libcrypto

Was another cset that introduced a check with problems and when fixed
made test-all.c build successfully on modern systems but not on your
system, ubuntu 16.04, so it assumed that reallocarray() was present and
didn't trigger the libc_compat.h fallback which ended up breaking your
build.

Thanks,

- Arnaldo

tools build: Add test-reallocarray.c to test-all.c to fix the build

When a test is in the FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC list in tools/build/Makefile.feature
must be added to tools/build/feature/test-all.c, because the successfull
compilation and linking of that test-all.bin file means that all the
features listed in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC are present in the system, so we
don't have to go on feature by feature test building them.

Since reallocarray() is expected to be present in modern systems, it has
a place in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC, so that we speed up the build process
building just that file.

For older systems, such as ubuntu:16.04 (build failure reported by Jin
Yao) debian:8, and for the current flagship RHEL distro, RHEL7, the
build will fail as test-all.bin (without test-reallocarray.c included)
passes but reallocarray() isn't present, making the build fail with:

^
CC /tmp/build/perf/nlattr.o

Even with:

$ grep reallocarray /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
feature-reallocarray=1
$

Which ubuntu:16.04.5 LTS doesn't have:

perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/$ head -2 /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.5 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"
perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/$ find /usr/include/ -name "*.h" | xargs grep -w reallocarray
perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/$

Fix it by including it to test-all.c, which ends up forcing the
individual tests to be triggered and for the build process to notice
that indeed reallocarray() is not there:

perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
In file included from test-all.c:178:0:
test-reallocarray.c: In function 'main_test_reallocarray':
test-reallocarray.c:7:11: error: implicit declaration of function 'reallocarray' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
return !!reallocarray(NULL, 1, 1);
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/$

That is the only test that is failing on Ubuntu 16.03.5 LTS, so all
tests are forced:

perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/tmp/build/perf/feature$ ls -lSr *.make.output
<SNIP successful tests>
-rw-r--r--. 1 perfbuilder perfbuilder 0 Feb 14 15:00 test-dwarf.make.output

-rw-r--r--. 1 perfbuilder perfbuilder 122 Feb 14 15:00 test-libbabeltrace.make.output
-rw-r--r--. 1 perfbuilder perfbuilder 254 Feb 14 15:00 test-reallocarray.make.output
-rw-r--r--. 1 perfbuilder perfbuilder 312 Feb 14 15:00 test-all.make.output
perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/tmp/build/perf/feature$

And that reallocarray() one shows:

perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/tmp/build/perf/feature$ cat test-reallocarray.make.output
test-reallocarray.c: In function 'main':
test-reallocarray.c:7:11: error: implicit declaration of function 'reallocarray' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
return !!reallocarray(NULL, 1, 1);
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:/tmp/build/perf/feature$

Which now generates the expected result:

perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:~$ grep reallocarray /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
feature-reallocarray=0
perfbuilder@38a153a1bba8:~$

The fallback mechanism kicks in and libbpf and perf are again buildable
in systems without reallocarray():
