There is a problem here which I noticed while working on the fix for
the problem reported by Thorsten (in tools/verification/rv). We need

-    ifeq ($(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --exists libtraceevent),0)
+    ifeq ($(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --exists libtraceevent 2>&1 1>/dev/null; echo $$?),0)

to produce a 0 in the output, otherwise it doesn't work. I will send a v2 fixing this.

For the feature checks that depend on using FEATURE_CHECK_* like the ones below,
it looks like the best would be to find a good common place to do it instead of
redeclaring these required flags on various subdirectories. I thought about
doing that in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but since these flags depend on
using $(PKG_CONFIG), and that is also set in various places, I thought I'd ask
first before going ahead. The idea I have is to gather somewhere the packages
that are used via their .pc files, and set the appropriate FEATURE_CHECK_* flags
such that all subdirectories could get them automatically. That may require setting 
PKG_CONFIG in a common place as well, and then dropping it from places such as
tools/perf/Makefile.perf. Maybe something like this is Makefile.feature:

PKG_CONFIG = $(CROSS_COMPILE)pkg-config

ifneq ($(call get-executable,$(PKG_CONFIG)),)
    # libtraceevent
    ifeq ($(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --exists libtraceevent 2>&1 1>/dev/null; echo $$?),0)
      FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-libtraceevent := $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --cflags libtraceevent 2>/dev/null)
      FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libtraceevent := $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --libs libtraceevent 2>/dev/null)
    endif

    # libtracefs
    ifeq ($(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --exists libtracefs 2>&1 1>/dev/null; echo $$?),0)
      FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-libtracefs := $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --cflags libtracefs)
      FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libtracefs := $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --libs libtracefs)
    endif

    # ... other packages
endif

and this shows that we could also define a function for this, and call it for
each package, which would simplify things a bit more. These are the Makefiles
that need to be adjusted:

tools/perf/Makefile.config
tools/tracing/latency/Makefile.config
tools/tracing/rtla/Makefile.config
tools/verification/rv/Makefile.config
