perf tools: Allow to link with libbpf dynamicaly
Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libbpf
(tools/lib/bpf). This patch adds libbpf package detection and support to
link perf with it dynamically.
The libbpf package status is displayed with:
$ make VF=1
Auto-detecting system features:
...
... libbpf: [ on ]
It's not checked by default, because it's quite new. Once it's on most
distros we can switch it on.
For the same reason it's not added to the test-all check.
Perf does not need advanced version of libbpf, so we can check just for
the base bpf_object__open function.
Adding new compile variable to detect libbpf package and link bpf
dynamically:
$ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1
...
LINK perf
$ ldd perf | grep bpf
libbpf.so.0 => /lib64/libbpf.so.0 (0x00007f46818bc000)
If libbpf is not installed, build stops with:
Makefile.config:486: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found,\
please install libbpf-devel. Stop.
Committer testing:
$ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
Makefile.config:493: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found, please install libbpf-devel. Stop.
make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:225: sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
