tools build: Fix the common set of features test wrt libopenssl

The recent introduction of the libopenssl feature test forgot to add the
-lssl to the test-all.o target, which made it always fail, fix it.

Noticed by looking at this file after building:

$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-all.make.output
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccBhO8WH.ltrans0.ltrans.o: in function `main':
/home/acme/git/perf-tools/tools/build/feature/test-libopenssl.c:6:(.text.startup+0x2ed): undefined reference to `OPENSSL_init_ssl'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$

It was added only to the individual ssl test, that works:

$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-libopenssl.make.output
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-libopenssl.bin | grep ssl
libssl.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.3 (0x00007fb81eda8000)
$

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Perf event/metric description:

Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event
parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.

From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information
about hardware events like the following.

$ perf list hw

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

legacy hardware:
branch-instructions
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu]
branch-misses
[Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
branches
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
bus-cycles
[Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu]
cache-misses
[Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
cache-references
[Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]
cpu-cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu]
cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cpu-cycles]. Unit: cpu]
instructions
[Retired instructions. Be careful,these can be affected by various issues,most notably hardware interrupt counts. Unit: cpu]
ref-cycles
[Total cycles; not affected by CPU frequency scaling. Unit: cpu]

But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side,
the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)

Deferred unwinding support:

With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd4d: "perf: Support deferred
user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack
trace with frame pointers like below:

$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...

This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
to the previous samples as if they were collected together.

ARM SPE updates

- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
register access, and SIMD operations.

- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
exclude certain data sources.

- Improve documentation.

Vendor event updates:

- Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor
Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.

- Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE
definitions.

- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.

Misc:

- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.

- Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to
enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show
which instruction is causing the cacheline contention.

- Lots of fixes and test coverage improvements!"

perf build: Don't fail fast path feature detection when binutils-devel is not available

This is one more remnant of the BUILD_NONDISTRO series to make building

In this case just the references at link time were still in place, which

perf build: detect support for libbpf's emit_strings option

This creates a config option that detects libbpf's ability to display
character arrays as strings, which was just added to the BPF tree
(https://git.kernel.org/bpf/bpf-next/c/87c9c79a02b4).

To test this change, I built perf (from later in this patch set) with:

- static libbpf (default, using source from kernel tree)
- dynamic libbpf (LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 LIBBPF_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include)

For both the static and dynamic versions, I used headers with and without
the ".emit_strings" option.

I verified that of the four resulting binaries, the two with
".emit_strings" would successfully record BPF_METADATA events, and the two
without wouldn't. All four binaries would successfully display
BPF_METADATA events, because the relevant bit of libbpf code is only used
during "perf record".

tools/build: Use SYSTEM_BPFTOOL for system bpftool

The feature test for system bpftool uses BPFTOOL as the variable to set
its path, defaulting to just "bpftool" if not set by the user.

This conflicts with selftests and a few other utilities, which expect
BPFTOOL to be set to the in-tree bpftool path by default. For example,
bpftool selftests fail to build:

$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
make: Entering directory '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf'

make: *** No rule to make target 'bpftool', needed by '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h'. Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf'

Fix the problem by renaming the variable used for system bpftool from
BPFTOOL to SYSTEM_BPFTOOL, so that the new usage does not conflict with
the existing one of BPFTOOL.

The macro ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD defines the compress algorithm, which was

Therefore, libelf 0.189 and later versions require to link the libzstd

Add a test for checking if libelf supports ZSTD algorithm. Pass the
macro ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD as an argument to the elf_compress() function.
If the build succeeds, it means the feature is supported.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.13-2024-11-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"perf record:

- Enable leader sampling for inherited task events. It was supported
only for system-wide events but the kernel started to support such
a setup since v6.12.

This is to reduce the number of PMU interrupts. The samples of the
leader event will contain counts of other events and no samples
will be generated for the other member events.

$ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}:S' ${MYPROG}

perf report:

- Fix --branch-history option to display more branch-related
information like prediction, abort and cycles which is available
on Intel machines.

$ perf record -bg -- perf test -w brstack

$ perf report --branch-history

perf stat:

- Add HWMON PMU support.

The HWMON provides various system information like CPU/GPU
temperature, fan speed and so on. Expose them as PMU events so that
users can see the values using perf stat commands.

$ perf stat -e temp_cpu,fan1 true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

60.00 'C temp_cpu
0 rpm fan1

0.000745382 seconds time elapsed

0.000883000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

- Display metric threshold in JSON output.

Some metrics define thresholds to classify value ranges. It used to
be in a different color but it won't work for JSON.

Add "metric-threshold" field to the JSON that can be one of "good",
"less good", "nearly bad" and "bad".

# perf stat -a -M TopdownL1 -j true

time a task waited on a run-queue before migrating to a different
CPU.

Build:

- Make libunwind opt-in (LIBUNWIND=1) rather than opt-out.

The perf tools are generally built with libelf and libdw which has
unwinder functionality. The libunwind support predates it and no
need to have duplicate unwinders by default.

- Rename NO_DWARF=1 build option to NO_LIBDW=1 in order to clarify
it's using libdw for handling DWARF information.

Internals:

- Do not set exclude_guest bit in the perf_event_attr by default.

This was causing a trouble in AMD IBS PMU as it doesn't support the
bit. The bit will be set when it's needed later by the fallback
logic. Also update the missing feature detection logic to make sure
not clear supported bits unnecessarily.

- Run perf test in parallel by default and mark flaky tests
"exclusive" to run them serially at the end. Some test numbers are
changed but the test can complete in less than half the time.

JSON vendor events:

- Add AMD Zen 5 events and metrics.

- Add i.MX91 and i.MX95 DDR metrics

- Fix HiSilicon HIP08 Topdown metric name.

- Support compat events on PowerPC"
