31160d7fea perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue
According to Documentation/Changes, the kernel should be buildable with
GNU make 3.80+. tools/perf/config/utilities.mak contains the "$(or"
construct, which requires make 3.81.  This causes "make" to fail on
systems with GNU make 3.80.

Replace "$(or" with an equivalent "$(if" expression, to restore backward
compatibility. Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing the name of
the variable that can be used to fix the problem.

cf3aa10355 perf tools: Always show CHK message when doing try-cc
It might be useful to see what's happening behind us rather than just
waiting few seconds during the config checking.

Also align the CHK message with other ones.

Adding more verbose output for compile time features checking, to ease
up debuging of feature detection failures.

7fbd065f5a perf tools: Move `try-cc'
The `try-cc' user-defined function was in tools/perf/feature-tests.mak;
this commit moves it to tools/perf/config/utilities.mak.

ced465c400 perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibility
Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:

  python{,-config}

The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.

However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:

  python2{,-config}

Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.

This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.

In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

Thanks to:
