[PATCH v1 02/13] perf build: Make BUILD_BPF_SKEL default, rename to NO_BPF_SKEL

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat Mar 11 2023 - 01:58:34 EST


BPF skeleton support is now key to a number of perf features. Rather
than making it so that BPF support must be enabled for the build, make
this the default and error if the build lacks a clang and libbpf that
are sufficient. To avoid the error and build without BPF skeletons the
NO_BPF_SKEL=1 flag can be used. Add a build-options flag to 'perf
version' to enable detection of the BPF skeleton support and use this
in the offcpu shell test.
