A new 'perf bench epoll' will use this, and to disable it for older
systems, add a feature test for this API.
This is just a simple program that if successfully compiled, means that
the feature is present, at least at the library level, in a build that
sets the output directory to /tmp/build/perf (using O=/tmp/build/perf),
we end up with:
$ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd*
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 8176 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 588 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.d
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 0 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.make.output
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff3bf3f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa984061000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa984417000)
$ grep eventfd -A 2 -B 2 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
feature-dwarf=1
feature-dwarf_getlocations=1
feature-eventfd=1
feature-fortify-source=1
feature-sync-compare-and-swap=1
$
The main thing here is that in the end we'll have -DHAVE_EVENTFD in
CFLAGS, and then the 'perf bench' entry needing that API can be
selectively pruned.
