Al Cooper 31160d7fea perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue
According to Documentation/Changes, the kernel should be buildable with
GNU make 3.80+. tools/perf/config/utilities.mak contains the "$(or"
construct, which requires make 3.81.  This causes "make" to fail on
systems with GNU make 3.80.

Replace "$(or" with an equivalent "$(if" expression, to restore backward
compatibility. Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing the name of
the variable that can be used to fix the problem.

Irina Tirdea d816ec2d1b perf tools: Update Makefile for Android
For cross-compiling on Android, some specific changes are needed in
the Makefile.

Update the Makefile to support cross-compiling for Android.
The original ideea for this was send by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316, but this is a rewrite.

Changes:
() support bionic in addition to glibc
() remove rt and pthread libraries that do not exist in Android
() use $(CFLAGS) when detecting initial compiler flags. This is needed
when setting CFLAGS as an argument of make (e.g. for setting --sysroot).
() include perf's local directory when building for Android to be able to find
relative paths if using --sysroot (e.g.: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h)

Irina Tirdea c9f08bee50 perf tools: add NO_BACKTRACE for application self-debugging
perf has support for self-debugging by defining dump_stack function.
This function uses backtrace and backtrace_symbols functions defined as
GNU extensions.

In Android, bionic does not offer support for these functions and
compilation will fail with the following error:

target  C: libperf <= tools/perf/util/util.c
tools/perf/util/util.c:4:22: fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Add a compile-time option (NO_BACKTRACE) to enable or disable
self-debugging functionality in perf. This can also help in debugging
since it offers the possibility to turn on/off printing the backtrace.

Pekka Enberg c31a945705 perf report: Add a simple GTK2-based 'perf report' browser
This patch adds a simple GTK2-based browser to 'perf report' that's
based on the TTY-based browser in builtin-report.c.

To launch "perf report" using the new GTK interface just type:

  $ perf report --gtk

The interface is somewhat limited in features at the moment:

  - No callgraph support

  - No KVM guest profiling support

  - No color coding for percentages

  - No sorting from the UI

  - ..and many, many more!

That said, I think this patch a reasonable start to build future features on.

Michael Witten ced465c400 perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibility
Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:

  python{,-config}

The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.

However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:

  python2{,-config}

Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.

This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.

In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.
