[PATCH 5.17 327/772] perf tools: Use Python devtools for version autodetection rather than runtime

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: James Clark <james.clark@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 630af16eee495f583db5202c3613d1b191f10694 ]

This fixes the issue where the build will fail if only the Python2
runtime is installed but the Python3 devtools are installed. Currently
the workaround is 'make PYTHON=python3'.

Fix it by autodetecting Python based on whether python[x]-config exists
rather than just python[x] because both are needed for the build. Then
-config is stripped to find the Python runtime.

Testing
=======

 * Auto detect links with Python3 when the v3 devtools are installed
   and only Python 2 runtime is installed
 * Auto detect links with Python2 when both devtools are installed
 * Sensible warning is printed if no Python devtools are installed
 * 'make PYTHON=x' still automatically sets PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config
 * 'make PYTHON=x' fails if x-config doesn't exist
 * 'make PYTHON=python3' overrides Python2 devtools
 * 'make PYTHON=python2' overrides Python3 devtools
 * 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config' works
 * 'make PYTHON=x PYTHON_CONFIG=x' works
 * 'make PYTHON=missing' reports an error
 * 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=missing' reports an error
