[PATCH v1 3/3] perf: Support perf -vv

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon Mar 26 2018 - 04:13:22 EST


We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own,
but they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf,
libbfd/libibery.

The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality.

This patch provides a new option '-vv' which will print the
compiled-in status of libraries.

For example:

$ ./perf -vv
perf version 4.13.rc5.g9b7a81b
dwarf: [ on ]
dwarf_getlocations: [ on ]
glibc: [ on ]
gtk2: [ on ]
libaudit: [ off ]
libbfd: [ on ]
libelf: [ on ]
libnuma: [ on ]
numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on ]
libperl: [ on ]
libpython: [ on ]
libslang: [ on ]
libcrypto: [ on ]
libunwind: [ on ]
libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ]
zlib: [ on ]
lzma: [ on ]
get_cpuid: [ on ]
bpf: [ on ]
