perf build: Add LIBTRACEEVENT_DIR build option
Currently, when libtraceevent is not linked, perf does not support tracepoint: # ./perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 10 event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switch' \___ unsupported tracepoint libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events For cross-compilation scenario, library may not be installed in the default system path. Based on the above requirements, add LIBTRACEEVENT_DIR build option to support specifying path of libtraceevent. Example: 1. Cross compile libtraceevent # cd /opt/libtraceevent # CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make 2. Cross compile perf # cd tool/perf # make VF=1 ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- NO_LIBELF=1 LDFLAGS=--static LIBTRACEEVENT_DIR=/opt/libtraceevent <SNIP> Auto-detecting system features: <SNIP> ...
