[PATCH 0/3] perf tools build process cleanups and extra hints

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Hi,

	Some simple cleanups and extra hints for the build process,

- Arnaldo

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo (3):
  perf build: Suggest java-latest-openjdk-devel instead of old 1.8.0 one
  perf build: Add the libpfm devel fedora package name to the hint
  perf build: The bfd features are opt-in, stop testing for them by default

[PATCH 1/3] perf build: Suggest java-latest-openjdk-devel instead of old 1.8.0 one

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Just tidying up the suggestion to pick the latest and not some specific
version.

Just to follow the pattern with other devel packages.

[PATCH 3/3] perf build: The bfd features are opt-in, stop testing for them by default

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

These are leftovers noticed while updating a build container.

We don't need those so that test-all.c can build and thus speed up the
feature detection.

Test for those features only if the user asks for BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 to
build with libbfd.
