binutils changed the signature of init_disassemble_info(), which now causes
compilation failures for tools/{perf,bpf} on e.g. debian unstable. Relevant
binutils commit:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=60a3da00bd5407f07
I first fixed this without introducing the compat header, as suggested by
Quentin, but I thought the amount of repeated boilerplate was a bit too
much. So instead I introduced a compat header to wrap the API changes. Even
tools/bpf/bpftool/jit_disasm.c, which needs its own callbacks for json, imo
looks nicer this way.
I'm not regular contributor, so it very well might be my procedures are a
bit off...
I am not sure I added the right [number of] people to CC?
WRT the feature test: Not sure what the point of the -DPACKAGE='"perf"' is,
nor why tools/perf/Makefile.config sets some LDFLAGS/CFLAGS that are also
in feature/Makefile and why -ldl isn't needed in the other places. But...
V2:
- split patches further, so that tools/bpf and tools/perf part are entirely
separate
- included a bit more information about tests I did in commit messages
- add a maybe_unused to fprintf_json_styled's style argument
