After this patch, perf utilizes builtin clang support to build BPF
script, no longer depend on external clang, but fallbacking to it
if for some reason the builtin compiling framework fails.
Test:
$ type clang
-bash: type: clang: not found
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
$ echo '#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 0x040700' > ./test.c
$ cat ./tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c >> ./test.c
$ ./perf record -v --dry-run -e ./test.c 2>&1 | grep builtin
bpf: successfull builtin compilation
$
Can't pass cflags so unable to include kernel headers now. Will be fixed
by following commits.
Committer notes:
Make sure '-v' comes before the '-e ./test.c' in the command line otherwise the
'verbose' variable will not be set when the bpf event is parsed and thus the
pr_debug indicating a 'successfull builtin compilation' will not be output, as
the debug level (1) will be less than what 'verbose' has at that point (0).
