Currently we can put the object files in a different directory by using
'O=' comand line argument.
However the generated documentation files don't honor this directive,
This patch fixes that. It's been tested for man target but the others
seems currently broken so no tests have been done on them so far.

This patch fixes an issue where perf report shows nan% for certain
perf.data files. The below is from a report for a do_fork probe:
-nan% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% packagekitd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% dbus-daemon [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
A git bisect shows commit f3bda2c as the cause. However, looking back
through the git history, I saw commit 640c03c which seems to have
removed the required initialization for perf_sample->period. The problem
only started showing after commit f3bda2c. The below patch re-introduces
the initialization and it fixes the problem for me.
With the below patch, for the same perf.data:
73.08% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
8.97% 11-dhclient [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
6.41% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
3.85% 20-chrony [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
2.56% sendmail [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
This patch applies over current linux-tip commit 9949284.

In some perf ancient versions we used '[kernel.kallsyms._text]' as the
name for the kernel map.
This got changed with commit:
perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host
commit a1645ce12a
Author: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com>
and we started to use following name '[kernel.kallsyms]_text'.
This name change is important for the report code dealing with ancient
perf data. When processing the kernel map event, we need to recognize
the old naming (dont match the last ']') and initialize the kernel map
correctly.
The subsequent call to maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym deals with the
superfluous ']' to get correct symbol name.

distclean as an alias for clean was removed from the perf Makefile by
commit a3d1ee10d1
However, that commit neglected to remove it from the help output of
the perf Makefile, which could result in a user trying the following.
$ cd tools/perf/
$ make help | grep distclean
distclean - alias to clean
$ make distclean
make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop.
This patch removes it from the Makefile help output.

In recent versions of perf top, pressing the 'e' key to change the
number of displayed samples had no effect.
The number of samples was still dictated by the size of the terminal
(stdio mode). That was quite annoying because typically only the first
dozen samples really matter.
This patch fixes this.

The event_type record has a max length for the event name.
It's called MAX_EVENT_NAME.
The name may be truncated to fit the max length. But the header.size still
reflects the original name length. If that length is > MAX_EVENT_NAME, then the
header.size field is bogus. Fix this by using the length of the name after the
potential truncation.

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build
because commit 1aed267173 (perf kvm: Do
guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the
feature selection in util.h is done. This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in
util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second
inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken.
There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering,
but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it.
The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE,
so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all
invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header
files. All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they
cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler.
All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are
moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS
are removed.
This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).
