James Clark 23716d7614 perf tools: Use Python devtools for version autodetection rather than runtime
[ Upstream commit 630af16eee ]

This fixes the issue where the build will fail if only the Python2
runtime is installed but the Python3 devtools are installed. Currently
the workaround is 'make PYTHON=python3'.

Fix it by autodetecting Python based on whether python[x]-config exists
rather than just python[x] because both are needed for the build. Then
-config is stripped to find the Python runtime.

Testing
=======

 * Auto detect links with Python3 when the v3 devtools are installed
   and only Python 2 runtime is installed
 * Auto detect links with Python2 when both devtools are installed
 * Sensible warning is printed if no Python devtools are installed
 * 'make PYTHON=x' still automatically sets PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config
 * 'make PYTHON=x' fails if x-config doesn't exist
 * 'make PYTHON=python3' overrides Python2 devtools
 * 'make PYTHON=python2' overrides Python3 devtools
 * 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config' works
 * 'make PYTHON=x PYTHON_CONFIG=x' works
 * 'make PYTHON=missing' reports an error
 * 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=missing' reports an error

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 Restructured Text 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.
