[PATCH 1/2] perf build: Autodetect minimum required llvm-dev version

From: James Clark
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 10:05:20 EST


The new LLVM addr2line feature requires a minimum version of 13 to
compile. Add a feature check for the version so that NO_LLVM=1 doesn't
need to be explicitly added. Leave the existing llvm feature check
intact because it's used by tools other than Perf.

This fixes the following compilation error when the llvm-dev version
doesn't match:

util/llvm-c-helpers.cpp: In function 'char* llvm_name_for_code(dso*, const char*, u64)':
util/llvm-c-helpers.cpp:178:21: error: 'std::remove_reference_t<llvm::DILineInfo>' {aka 'struct llvm::DILineInfo'} has no member named 'StartAddress'
178 | addr, res_or_err->StartAddress ? *res_or_err->StartAddress : 0);

Fixes: c3f8644c21df ("perf report: Support LLVM for addr2line()")
