    tools build: Add capability-related feature detection · 74d5f3d0
    Igor Lubashev authored
    Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss.  Make
    perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el], assume
    no capabilities.
    
    Committer testing:
    
      $ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
      make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
        BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
    
      Auto-detecting system features:
      <SNIP>
      ...                        libbfd: [ on  ]
      ...                        libcap: [ OFF ]
      ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
      <SNIP>
      Makefile.config:833: No libcap found, disables capability support, please install libcap-devel/libcap-dev
      <SNIP>
      $ grep libcap /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
      feature-libcap=0
      $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libcap.make.output
      test-libcap.c:2:10: fatal error: sys/capability.h: No such file or directory

            |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      compilation terminated.
      $
    
    Now install libcap-devel and try again:
    
      $ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
      make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
