[PATCH] perf record: Limit --intr-regs to platforms supporting PERF_REGS

From: Naveen N. Rao
Date: Thu Sep 24 2015 - 08:12:29 EST


perf build currently fails on powerpc:

LINK perf
libperf.a(libperf-in.o):(.toc+0x120): undefined reference to
`sample_reg_masks'
libperf.a(libperf-in.o):(.toc+0x130): undefined reference to
`sample_reg_masks'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [perf] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is due to parse-regs-options.c using sample_reg_masks, which is
defined only with CONFIG_PERF_REGS.

In addition, perf record -I is only useful if the arch supports
PERF_REGS. Hence, let's expose -I conditionally.
