perf/core improvements and fixes:
Fixes:
- Do not show a bogus target address in 'perf annotate' for targetless powerpc
jump instructions such as 'bctr' (Ravi Bangoria)
- tools/build fixes related to race conditions with the fixdep utility (Jiri Olsa)
- Fix building objtool with clang (Peter Foley)
Infrastructure:
- Support linking perf with clang and LLVM libraries, initially statically, but
this limitation will be lifted and shared libraries, when available, will
be preferred to the static build, that should, as with other features, be
enabled explicitly (Wang Nan)

perf annotate: Show raw form for jump instruction with indirect target
For jump instructions that does not include target address as direct operand,
show the original disassembled line for them. This is needed for certain
powerpc jump instructions that use target address in a register (such as bctr,
btar, ...).
Before:
ld r12,32088(r12)
mtctr r12
v bctr ffffffffffffca2c
std r2,24(r1)
addis r12,r2,-1
After:
ld r12,32088(r12)
mtctr r12
v bctr
std r2,24(r1)
addis r12,r2,-1
Committer notes:
Testing it using a perf.data file and vmlinux for powerpc64,
cross-annotating it on a x86_64 workstation:
Before:
.__bpf_prog_run vmlinux.powerpc
│ std r10,512(r9) ▒
│ lbz r9,0(r31) ▒
│ rldicr r9,r9,3,60 ▒
│ ldx r9,r30,r9 ▒
│ mtctr r9 ▒
100.00 │ ↓ bctr 3fffffffffe01510 ▒
│ lwa r10,4(r31) ▒
│ lwz r9,0(r31) ▒
<SNIP>
Invalid jump offset: 3fffffffffe01510
After:
.__bpf_prog_run vmlinux.powerpc
│ std r10,512(r9) ▒
│ lbz r9,0(r31) ▒
│ rldicr r9,r9,3,60 ▒
│ ldx r9,r30,r9 ▒
│ mtctr r9 ▒
100.00 │ ↓ bctr ▒
│ lwa r10,4(r31) ▒
│ lwz r9,0(r31) ▒
<SNIP>
Invalid jump offset: 3fffffffffe01510
This, in turn, uncovers another problem with jumps without operands, the
ENTER/-> operation, to jump to the target, still continues using the bogus
target :-)
BTW, this was the file used for the above tests:
