[PATCH 1/4] perf: Enable libtracefs dynamic linking

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Tue Jun 22 2021 - 00:38:33 EST


Currently libtracefs isn't used by perf, but there are potential
improvements by using it as identified Steven Rostedt's e-mail:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210610154759.1ef958f0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This change is modelled on the dynamic libtraceevent patch by Michael
Petlan:
