It is a requirement from the perf TODO list[1]:
''The feature tests should be performed only when a file that needs those
tests, or at least only when some .c or .h file will be rebuilt. An
initial step would be for 'make install-doc' not to run the feature
tests, there it is not needed at all.''
By adding 'install-doc' to the NON_CONFIG_TARGETS, it will skip running
the feature tests for such target. The Auto-detecting system features
list will not be displayed:
$ make install-doc
BUILD: Doing 'make -j2' parallel build
SUBDIR Documentation
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'install'.

We have to check if the values are >= *_MAX, not just >, fix it.
From the bugzilla report:
''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.
It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

perf tools build in recent kernels spews splat when cross compiling with uClibc:
| CC util/alias.o

| extern size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size);
^
This is after commit 61a6445e46 ("tools lib: Guard the strlcpy() header with
__GLIBC__").
The problem is uClibc also defines __GLIBC__ for exported headers for
applications. So add that specific check to not trip for uClibc.

Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a
group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all
events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags.
This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group
share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and
for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work
as an aggregate of event level flags.
PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags
that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization.
To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to
group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE.
Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the
cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to
serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a
context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event()
worked.
Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap
instead of the context index.

Function perf_event_mmap() is called by the MM subsystem each time
part of a binary is loaded in memory. There can be several mapping
for a binary, many times unrelated to the code section.
Each time a section of a binary is mapped address filters are
updated, event when the map doesn't pertain to the code section.
The end result is that filters are configured based on the last map
event that was received rather than the last mapping of the code
segment.
For example if we have an executable 'main' that calls library
'libcstest.so.1.0', and that we want to collect traces on code
that is in that library. The perf cmd line for this scenario
would be:
perf record -e cs_etm// --filter 'filter 0x72c/0x40@/opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0' --per-thread ./main
Resulting in binaries being mapped this way:

Before 'main()' can execute 'libcstest.so.1.0' has to be loaded in
memory. Once that has been done perf_event_mmap() has been called
4 times, with the last map starting at address 0x7fa25ce000 and
the address filter configured to start filtering when the
IP has passed over address 0x0x7fa25ce72c (0x7fa25ce000 + 0x72c).
But that is wrong since the code segment for library 'libcstest.so.1.0'
as been mapped at 0x7fa25bd000, resulting in traces not being
collected.
This patch corrects the situation by requesting that address
filters be updated only if the mapped event is for a code
segment.
