[PATCH v1 0/3] tools: fix compilation failure caused by init_disassemble_info API changes

[Andres Freund]

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 wasn't sure whether the split of the commits conforms with the kernel
habits should the changes to tools/bpf and tools/perf be split into
separate commits?

Nor was I sure if I 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...

Andres Freund (3):
  tools build: add feature test for init_disassemble_info API changes
  tools: add dis-asm-compat.h to centralize handling of version
    differences
  tools: Use tools/dis-asm-compat.h to fix compilation errors with new
    binutils
