Yang Jihong 8462247fd1 perf build: Check whether pkg-config is installed when libtraceevent is linked
If pkg-config is not installed when libtraceevent is linked, the build fails.

The error information is as follows:

  $ make
  <SNIP>
  In file included from /home/yjh/projects_linux/perf-tool-next/linux/tools/perf/util/evsel.c:43:
  /home/yjh/projects_linux/perf-tool-next/linux/tools/perf/util/trace-event.h:149:62: error: operator '&&' has no right operand
    149 | #if defined(LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION) &&  LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION >= MAKE_LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION(1, 5, 0)
        |                                                              ^~
  error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
  cp: cannot stat 'python_ext_build/lib/perf*.so': No such file or directory
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:668: python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so] Error 1
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Because pkg-config is not installed, fail to get libtraceevent version in
Makefile.config file. As a result, LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION is empty.
However, the preceding error information is not user-friendly.

Identify errors in advance by checking that pkg-config is installed at
compile time.

The build results of various scenarios are as follows:

1. build successful when libtraceevent is not linked and pkg-config is not installed

  $ pkg-config --version
  -bash: /usr/bin/pkg-config: No such file or directory
  $ make clean >/dev/null
  $ make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 >/dev/null
  Makefile.config:1133: No alternatives command found, you need to set JDIR= to point to the root of your Java directory
    PERF_VERSION = 6.7.rc6.gd988c9f511af
  $ echo $?
  0

2. dummy pkg-config is missing when libtraceevent is linked

  $ pkg-config --version
  -bash: /usr/bin/pkg-config: No such file or directory
  $ make clean >/dev/null
  $ make >/dev/null
  Makefile.config:221: *** Error: pkg-config needed by libtraceevent is missing on this system, please install it.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:251: sub-make] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
  $ echo $?
  2

3. build successful when libtraceevent is linked and pkg-config is installed

  $ pkg-config --version
  0.29.2
  $ make clean >/dev/null
  $ make >/dev/null
  Makefile.config:1133: No alternatives command found, you need to set JDIR= to point to the root of your Java directory
    PERF_VERSION = 6.7.rc6.gd988c9f511af
  $ echo $?
  0

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
