Revert "tools build: Remove leftover libcap tests that prevents fast path feature detection from working"

Ian pointed out that the libcap feature test is also used by bpftool, so
we can't remove it just because perf stopped using it, revert the
removal of the feature test.

Since both perf and libcap uses the fast path feature detection
(tools/build/feature/test-all.c), probably the best thing is to keep
libcap-devel when building perf even it not being used there.

This reverts commit 47b3b6435e4bfb61ae8ffc63a11bd3c310f69acf.

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:

- Improved kbprobes robustness

- Intel PEBS support for PT hardware tracing

- Other Intel PT improvements: high order pages memory footprint
reduction and various related cleanups

- Misc cleanups

The perf tooling side has been very busy in this cycle, with over 300
commits. This is an incomplete high-level summary of the many
improvements done by over 30 developers:

- Lots of updates to the following tools:

'perf c2c'
'perf config'
'perf record'
'perf report'
'perf script'
'perf test'
'perf top'
'perf trace'

- Updates to libperf and libtraceevent, and a consolidation of the
proliferation of x86 instruction decoder libraries.

- Vendor event updates for Intel and PowerPC CPUs,

- Updates to hardware tracing tooling for ARM and Intel CPUs,

- ... and lots of other changes and cleanups - see the shortlog and
Git log for details"

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-5.4-20190814' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:

Intel PT:

Adrian Hunter:

- Add PEBS via Intel PT support, the kernel bits went via PeterZ.

perf record:

Alexander Shishkin:

- Add an option to take an AUX snapshot on exit.

Tan Xiaojun:

- Support aarch64 random socket_id assignment, just like was fixed for S/390.

tools:

Andy Shevchenko:

- Keep list of tools in alphabetical order on 'make -C tools help'.

perf session:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size, reported by
Vince Weaver using a perf.data fuzzer.

Documentation:

Vince Weaver:

- Clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format in the perf.data spec.

perf config:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Honour $PERF_CONFIG env var to specify alternate .perfconfig.

perf test:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Disable ~/.perfconfig to get default output in 'perf trace' tests.

perf top:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Set display thread COMM to help with debugging.

- Collapse and resort evsels in a group, so that we have output
similar to 'perf report' when using event groups, i.e.

perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'

Will have two columns, and the instructions one will work.

core:

Igor Lubashev:

- Detect if libcap development files are available so that we
can use capabilities to match the checks made by the kernel instead
of using plain (geteuid() == 0).

Intel:

Haiyan Song:

- Add Icelake V1.00 event file.

perf trace:

Leo Yan:

- Fix segmentation fault when access syscall info on arm64.
