22dd1ac91a776752 ("tools: Remove feature-libelf-mmap feature detection")
correctly simplified the this feature detection, but forgot to remove
the call to the removed function in the main() function for the
test-all.c fast path feature detection, making it fail and thus do all
the feature detection individually, fix it.

<title>tools feature: Add missing -lzstd to the fast path feature detection</title>

We were failing that due to GTK2+ and then for the ZSTD test, which made
test-all.c, the fast path feature detection file to fail and thus
trigger building all of the feature tests, slowing down the test.

Eventually the ZSTD test would be built and would succeed, since it had
the needed -lzstd, avoiding:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccRRJQ4u.o: in function `main_test_libzstd':
  /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/feature/test-libzstd.c:8: undefined reference to `ZSTD_createCStream'
  /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/feature/test-libzstd.c:9: undefined reference to `ZSTD_freeCStream'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  $

Fix it by adding -lzstd to the test-all target.

Now I need an entry to 'perf test' to make sure that
/tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output is empty...

This is bitrotting, nobody is stepping up to work on it, and since we
treat warnings as errors, feature detection is failing in its main,
faster test (tools/build/feature/test-all.c) because of the GTK+2
infobar check.

So make this opt-in, at some point ditch this if nobody volunteers to
take care of this.

<title>tools, bpf/build: Cleanup feature files on make clean</title>

<id>urn:sha1:661b37cd437ef49cd28444f79b9b0c71ea76e8c8</id>
<content type='text'>
The system for "Auto-detecting system features" located under
tools/build/ are (currently) used by perf, libbpf and bpftool. It can
contain stalled feature detection files, which are not cleaned up by
libbpf and bpftool on make clean (side-note: perf tool is correct).

Fix this by making the users invoke the make clean target.

Some details about the changes. The libbpf Makefile already had a
clean-config target (which seems to be copy-pasted from perf), but this
target was not "connected" (a make dependency) to clean target. Choose
not to rename target as someone might be using it. Did change the output
from "CLEAN config" to "CLEAN feature-detect", to make it more clear
what happens.

This is related to the complaint and troubleshooting in the following

It's trivial to handle missing ELF_C_MMAP_READ support in libelf the way that
objtool has solved it in
("774bec3fddcc objtool: Add fallback from ELF_C_READ_MMAP to ELF_C_READ").

So instead of having an entire feature detector for that, just do what objtool
does for perf and libbpf. And keep their Makefiles a bit simpler.

<title>perf build-ids: Fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found</title>

During a perf-record, use the -ldebuginfod API to query a debuginfod
server, should the debug data not be found in the usual system
locations.  If successful, the usual $HOME/.debug dir is populated.

Tested with:

  $ find .
  .
  ./ctags-debuginfo-5.8-26.fc31.x86_64.rpm
  ./usr
  ./usr/lib
  ./usr/lib/debug

  $ rm -rf ~/.debug/ ; mkdir ~/.debug

  $ perf record make tags

  $ DEBUGINFOD_URLS=http://localhost:8002 perf record make tags

Note the 'debug' file is created in the last run.

Note that currently the debuginfo data are downloaded only on record path,
we still need add this support to perf build-id/report.. and test ;-)

<title>tools build feature: Quote CC and CXX for their arguments</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fa5c893181ed2ca2f96552f50073786d2cfce6c0</id>
<content type='text'>
When using a cross-compilation environment, such as OpenEmbedded,
the CC an CXX variables are set to something more than just a
command: there are arguments (such as --sysroot) that need to be
passed on to the compiler so that the right set of headers and
libraries are used.

For the particular case that our systems detected, CC is set to
the following:

  export CC="aarch64-linaro-linux-gcc  --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/machine/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot"

Without quotes, detection is as follows:

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ OFF ]
  ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ OFF ]

To sync headers, for instance, in this case tools/perf was ahead of
upstream till Linus merged tip/perf/core to get the
PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE changes:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h
