Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a

It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

added to ~/.debug/.

So we test that and use /dev/null in environments where it
works, while using an .INTERMEDIATE file on those where it can't
be used, so that the .perf.dev.null file can be used instead and
then deleted when make exits.

perf record: Introduce a symtab cache

Now a cache will be created in a ~/.debug debuginfo like
hierarchy, so that at the end of a 'perf record' session all the
binaries (with build-ids) involved get collected and indexed by
their build-ids, so that perf report can find them.

This is interesting when developing software where you want to
do a 'perf diff' with the previous build and opens avenues for
lots more interesting tools, like a 'perf diff --graph' that
takes more than two binaries into account.

Tunables for collecting just the symtabs can be added if one
doesn't want to have the full binary, but having the full binary
allows things like 'perf rerecord' or other tools that can
re-run the tests by having access to the exact binary in some
perf.data file, so it may well be interesting to keep the full
binary there.

Space consumption is minimised by trying to use hard links, a
'perf cache' tool to manage the space used, a la ccache is
required to purge older entries.

With this in place it will be possible also to introduce new
commands, 'perf archive' and 'perf restore' (or some more
suitable and future proof names) to create a cpio/tar file with
the perf data and the files in the cache that _had_ perf hits of
interest.

There are more aspects to polish, like finding the right vmlinux
file to cache, etc, but this is enough for a first step.

Borislav Petkov reported:

This patch adds -I/usr/include/libdwarf to BASIC_CFLAGS
and fix probe-finder.h to include just libdwarf.h/dwarf.h.

This patch also adds a workaround for the undefined _MIPS_SZLONG
bug in libdwarf.h.

This should be enough for diffs where the system is non
volatile, i.e. when one doesn't updates binaries.

For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool
feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by
'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report
tools.

describing sessions to compare.

perf tools: Allow cross compiling

For embedded platforms, we want to be able to build the perf
tools on a build machine to run on a different arch. This patch
allows $CROSS_COMPILE to set the cross compiler.

Additionally, if NO_LIBPERL is set, then don't use perl include
paths as they will be for the host arch.

perf trace/scripting: Ignore shadowed variable warning for perf-trace-perl.c

The debugging versions of the ENTER and LEAVE internal perl
macros, used when embedding perl, define a local block with a
my_perl perl variable that shadows a global variable of the same
name, which is also the name expected by the embedding API for
the embedded interpreter.

Since we don't have control over the code generated in this case
(it's an externality) and can't get rid of the warning, ignore it.
