Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Allow to link with libbpf dynamicaly
Date:   Tue, 26 Nov 2019 13:12:53 +0100

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.
