[ Upstream commit 14541b1e7e723859ff2c75c6fc10cdbbec6b8c34 ]

Current libbfd feature test unconditionally links against -liberty and -lz.
While it's required on some systems (e.g. opensuse), it's completely
unnecessary on the others, where only -lbdf is sufficient (debian).
This patch streamlines (and renames) the following feature checks:

feature-libbfd           - only link against -lbfd (debian),
                           see commit 2cf9040714f3 ("perf tools: Fix bfd
			   dependency libraries detection")
feature-libbfd-liberty   - link against -lbfd and -liberty
feature-libbfd-liberty-z - link against -lbfd, -liberty and -lz (opensuse),
                           see commit 280e7c48c3b8 ("perf tools: fix BFD
			   detection on opensuse")

(feature-liberty{,-z} were renamed to feature-libbfd-liberty{,z}
for clarity)

The main motivation is to fix this feature test for bpftool which is
currently broken on debian (libbfd feature shows OFF, but we still
unconditionally link against -lbfd and it works).

Tested on debian with only -lbfd installed (without -liberty); I'd
appreciate if somebody on the other systems can test this new detection
method.

reallocarray() is a safer variant of realloc which checks for
multiplication overflow in case of array allocation.  Since it's
not available in Glibc &lt; 2.26 import kernel's overflow.h and
add a static inline implementation when needed.  Use feature
detection to probe for existence of reallocarray.

The Open CoreSight Decoding Library (openCSD) is a free and open library
to decode traces collected by the CoreSight hardware infrastructure.

This patch adds the required mechanic to recognise the presence of the
openCSD library on a system and set up miscellaneous flags to be used in
the compilation of the trace decoding feature.

<title>tools: bpftool: add -DPACKAGE when including bfd.h</title>

bfd.h is requiring including of config.h except when PACKAGE or
PACKAGE_VERSION are defined.

  /* PR 14072: Ensure that config.h is included first.  */
  #if !defined PACKAGE &amp;&amp; !defined PACKAGE_VERSION
  #error config.h must be included before this header
  #endif

This check has been introduced since May-2012. It doesn't show up in bfd.h
on some Linux distribution, probably because distributions have remove it
when building the package.

However, sometimes the user might just build libfd from source code then
link bpftool against it. For this case, bfd.h will be original that we need
to define PACKAGE or PACKAGE_VERSION.

Bpftool build is broken with binutils version 2.29 and later.
The cause is commit 003ca0fd2286 ("Refactor disassembler selection")
in the binutils repo, which changed the disassembler() function
signature.

Fix this by adding a new "feature" to the tools/build/features
infrastructure and make it responsible for decision which
disassembler() function signature to use.
