Yang Jihong 43f6564f18 perf build: Fix static compilation error when libdw is not installed
If libdw is not installed in build environment, the output of
'pkg-config --modversion libdw' is empty, causing LIBDW_VERSION_2 to be
empty and the shell test will have the following error:

  /bin/sh: 1: test: -lt: unexpected operator

Before:

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
  <SNIP>
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  /bin/sh: 1: test: -lt: unexpected operator

After:

  1. libdw is not installed:

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
  <SNIP>
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  Makefile.config:473: No libdw DWARF unwind found, Please install elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.158 and/or set LIBDW_DIR

  2. libdw version is lower than 0.177

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  0.176
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
  <SNIP>

  Auto-detecting system features:

    INSTALL libapi_headers

  3. libdw version is higher than 0.177

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  0.186
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build

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.
