      perf: Auto-detect libelf · 9424edc2
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Adds autodetection for libelf as well, and simplifies the
libbfd code. Furthermore, fail make with an error when libelf
is not found and warn about the lack of libbfd.

Also provide an option to build a 32bit version even though you
might be running a 64bit kernel.

      perf symbol: Fix symbol parsing in certain cases: use the build-id as a symlink · 4d1e00a8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      In some cases distros have binaries and debuginfo in weird places:

Seemingly we don't have a .symtab when we actually can find it
if we use the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section put in place by
some distros. Use it and find the symbols we need.

      perf_counter/powerpc: Check oprofile_cpu_type for NULL before using it · e0d82a0a
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      If the current CPU doesn't support performance counters,
cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type can be NULL. The current
perf_counter modules don't test for that case and would thus
crash at boot time.

Bug reported by David Woodhouse.

      ftrace: Fix perf-tracepoint OOPS · af6af30c
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Not all tracepoints are created equal, in specific the ftrace
tracepoints are created with TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT() which does
not generate the needed bits to tie them into perf counters.

For those events, don't create the 'id' file and fail
->profile_enable when their ID is specified through other
means.
