Subject: perf_counter: Detect debugfs location
From: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:16:29 -0400

If "/sys/kernel/debug" is not a debugfs mount point, search for the debugfs
filesystem in /proc/mounts, but also allows the user to specify
'--debugfs-dir=blah' or set the environment variable: 'PERF_DEBUGFS_DIR'

Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ also made it probe "/debug" by default ]
