Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf/bpftool: Allow to link libbpf dynamically

hi,
adding support to link bpftool with libbpf dynamically,
and config change for perf.

It's now possible to use:
  $ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool/ LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1

which will detect libbpf devel package with needed version,
and if found, link it with bpftool.

It's possible to use arbitrary installed libbpf:
  $ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool/ LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 LIBBPF_DIR=/tmp/libbpf/

I based this change on top of Arnaldo's perf/core, because
it contains libbpf feature detection code as dependency.
It's now also synced with latest bpf-next, so Toke's change
applies correctly.

Also available in:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  libbpf/dyn

thanks,
jirka
