[ Upstream commit14541b1e7e] Current libbfd feature test unconditionally links against -liberty and -lz. While it's required on some systems (e.g. opensuse), it's completely unnecessary on the others, where only -lbdf is sufficient (debian). This patch streamlines (and renames) the following feature checks: feature-libbfd - only link against -lbfd (debian), see commit2cf9040714("perf tools: Fix bfd dependency libraries detection") feature-libbfd-liberty - link against -lbfd and -liberty feature-libbfd-liberty-z - link against -lbfd, -liberty and -lz (opensuse), see commit280e7c48c3("perf tools: fix BFD detection on opensuse") (feature-liberty{,-z} were renamed to feature-libbfd-liberty{,z} for clarity) The main motivation is to fix this feature test for bpftool which is currently broken on debian (libbfd feature shows OFF, but we still unconditionally link against -lbfd and it works). Tested on debian with only -lbfd installed (without -liberty); I'd appreciate if somebody on the other systems can test this new detection method.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
