perf tools: Convert to LIBELF_SUPPORT

2012-09-29T00:07:36Z

For building perf without libelf, we can set NO_LIBELF=1 as a argument of make. It then defines NO_LIBELF_SUPPORT macro for C code to do the proper handling. However it usually used in a negative semantics - e.g. #ifndef - so we saw double negations which can be misleading. Convert it to a positive form to make it more readable.

perf symbols: Support minimal build without libelf

2012-08-09T19:26:38Z

Now we have isolated all ELF-specific stuff, it's possible to build without libelf. The output binary can do most of jobs but lacks (user level) symbol information - kernel symbols are still accessable thanks to the kallsyms. To build perf without libelf (elfutils), give NO_LIBELF=1 to make. For now, only 'perf probe' command is removed since it depends on libelf/libdw heavily.

perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/

2009-06-06T18:33:43Z

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory. Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
