[PATCH v1 2/5] perf build: Default BUILD_BPF_SKEL, warn/disable for missing deps

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Sep 14 2023 - 17:20:05 EST


LIBBPF is dependent on zlib so move the NO_ZLIB and feature check
early to avoid statically building when zlib is disabled. This avoids
a linkage failure with perf and static libbpf when zlib isn't
specified.

Move BUILD_BPF_SKEL logic to one place and if not defined set
BUILD_BPF_SKEL to 1. Detect dependencies of building with BPF
skeletons and warn/disable if the dependencies aren't present.

Change Makefile.perf to contain BPF skeleton logic dependent on the
Makefile.config result and refresh the comment about BUILD_BPF_SKEL.
