Subject: [PATCH V3 0/3] tools/tracing: Use tools/build makefiles like perf

tools/tracing and tools/verification/rv are using standalone Makefiles
and this approach has some drawbacks. For example, code duplication
and lack of proper dependency handling, making things harder for
users. 

Linus suggested using perf's build system, and it is indeed the best way to go.

This series replaces tools/tracing and tools/verification/rv makefiles
with makefiles inspired by perf and objtool that use tools/build/
infrastructure.

Thanks, Arnaldo, for the pointers via chat.

Changes from V2:
  - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1710512430.git.bristot@kernel.org/
  - Fix the log of the first patch, removing the '----- %< ----' because
    some scripts interpret them as the '---' patch separator, truncating
    the log.

Changes from V1:
  - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1709914259.git.bristot@kernel.org/
