It shows we don't clean up properly the fixdep objects, so adding
special rule for that.

perf jvmti: Create libdir directory before installing libperf-jvmti.so

2017-01-11T19:48:00+00:00

The install command for libperf-jvmti.so does not check if libdir exists
before installing. This means that when the install command is run:

install libperf-jvmti.so '/tmp/test_root/usr/lib64';

libperf-jvmti.so will get installed to /usr/lib64 as a file and break
further installation. Fix this by ensuring the directory gets created
first.

perf tools: Move headers check into bash script

2016-12-15T19:25:44+00:00

To make it nicer and easily maintainable.

Also moving the check into fixdep sub make, so its output is not
scattered around the build output.

Removing extra $$ from mman*.h checks.

make use of make variable CURDIR instead of calling pwd

2016-12-11T11:12:56+00:00

make already provides the current working directory in a variable, so make
use of it instead of forking a shell. Also replace usage of PWD by
CURDIR. PWD is provided by most shells, but not all, so this makes the
build system more robust.

perf tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build

2016-12-06T16:23:02+00:00

The fixdep tool needs to be built before everything else, because it fixes
every object dependency file.

We handle this currently by making all objects to depend on fixdep, which is
error prone and is easily forgotten when new object is added.

Instead of this, this patch force fixdep tool to be built as the first target
in the separate make session. This way we don't need to handle extra fixdep
dependencies and we are certain there's no fixdep race with any parallel make
job.
