I wonder we should detect libcap or it's everywhere.. Arnaldo's compile test suite might tell

I'll add this tentatively and try to build it in my test suite.

So, not even in my notebook this worked straight away:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/cap.o
  CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/config.o
In file included from util/cap.c:5:
util/cap.h:6:10: fatal error: sys/capability.h: No such file or directory
    6 | #include <sys/capability.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/build/perf/util/.cap.o.tmp': No such file or directory


I had to first do:

dnf install libcap-devel

So we need to have a feature test and fail if that is not installed,
i.e. libcap becomes a hard req for building perf, which I think is
reasonable, one more shouldn't hurt, right?

;-)

So, please check tools/build/feature/ and check how this is done and add
a test and the warning in tools/perf/Makefile.config so that we get an
error message stating that libcap-dev or libcap-devel should be
installed.

I'll do it if there is any difficulty, just not right now as I'm busy
and want to get a pull req out of the door.

Also please find the first patch fixed up wrt a conflict with the
pythong binding, please use it instead as that is what applies to my
current perf/core branch.

It has the ack from Alexey and one I think Jiri would provide, judging
from his positive tone to the patches :)

Thanks for the suggestion!  I'll try to add a test for libcap to the patch series as v2 of the series.  Probably not next week, though (IETF week).

I have just posted v2 of the series (https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1565146171.git.ilubashe@akamai.com).

Instead of making libcap is "hard req", I made it as "soft" one. We can still build a useful tool w/o libcap. It will just have to assume that perf is running with no capabilities, since we cannot query them.

Many thanks for the pointers on how to go about build feature checking.
