Ingo reported that it was difficult to understand why libunwind support
didn't link even when he had the usual libunwind-dev files installed in
his machine.
This is because libunwind became opt-in, the user has to use
LIBUNWIND=1, as it was deemed stalled in its development/unsuitable for
use with perf, IIRC, and so we better use the elfutils equivalent
routine that we also supported for ages.
But the build message still printed:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libdw: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
<SNIP>
... libcrypto: [ on ]
... libunwind: [ OFF ]
<SNIP>
Which is confusing, so allow for having a tip when 'perf version
--build-options' is used, and variants with 'perf check feature':
$ perf version --build-options | grep libunwind
libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it )
$
$ perf check feature libunwind
libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it )
$
The next patches will remove the opt-in libunwind FEATURES_DISPLAY.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
