jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:48:21: error: static declaration of ‘gettid’ follows non-static declaration

      |                     ^~~~~~

The tools/perf error is not new. It is seen because I started updating
my servers to Ubuntu 20.0. The following patches would be needed to fix the
problem in v4.19.y.

8feb8efef97a tools build feature: Check if get_current_dir_name() is available
11c6cbe706f2 tools build feature: Check if eventfd() is available
4541a8bb13a8 tools build: Check if gettid() is available before providing helper
fc8c0a992233 perf tools: Use %define api.pure full instead of %pure-parser

The first two patches prevent a conflict with the third patch, and the
last patch fixes an unrelated build warning.

Older kernels are also affected. The list of patches needed for v4.14.y is:

0ada120c883d perf: Make perf able to build with latest libbfd
        (this patch is in v4.9.y but not in v4.14.y)
25ab5abf5b14 tools build feature: Check if pthread_barrier_t is available
8feb8efef97a tools build feature: Check if get_current_dir_name() is available
11c6cbe706f2 tools build feature: Check if eventfd() is available
4541a8bb13a8 tools build: Check if gettid() is available before providing helper
fc8c0a992233 perf tools: Use %define api.pure full instead of %pure-parser

I tried to fix the problem in v4.9.y and v4.4.y as well, but that is pretty
much hopeless. I'll have to stop testing perf builds for those kernels.

Anyway,
