    tools build: Add test for presence of __get_cpuid() gcc builtin · b0063dbf
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    The auxtrace code needed by Intel PT uses the __get_cpuid() gcc builtin,
    that is not present in old systems, breaking the build.
    
    Add a test to check for that builtin and disable AUXTRACE in those
    systems.
    
      [acme@rhel5 linux]$  make NO_LIBPERL=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
      make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
        BUILD:   Doing 'make -j2' parallel build
    
      Auto-detecting system features:
      <SNIP>
      ...                          lzma: [ on  ]
      ...                     get_cpuid: [ OFF ]
      <SNIP>
      config/Makefile:630: Your gcc lacks the __get_cpuid() builtin, disables support for auxtrace/Intel PT, please install a newer gcc
        MKDIR    /tmp/build/perf/util/
      <SNIP>
    
    This fixes the build on old systems such as RHEL/CentOS 5.11.
