[ Upstream commit 8c5b40678c ]
When building tools/perf the CFLAGS can contain a directory for the
installed headers.
As the headers may be being installed while building libperf.a this can
cause headers to be partially installed and found in the include path
while building an object file for libperf.a.
The installed header may reference other installed headers that are
missing given the partial nature of the install and then the build fails
with a missing header file.
Avoid this by ensuring the libperf source headers are always first in
the CFLAGS.

[ Upstream commit f5b07010c1 ]
When using EXTRA_CFLAGS, for example "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DREFCNT_CHECKING=1",
this construct stops setting -g which you'd expect would not be affected
by adding extra flags. Additionally, EXTRA_CFLAGS should be the last
thing to be appended so that it can be used to undo any defaults. And no
condition is required, just += appends to any existing CFLAGS and also
appends or doesn't append EXTRA_CFLAGS if they are or aren't set.
It's not clear why DEBUG=1 is required for -g in Perf when in libperf
it's always on, but I don't think we need to change that behavior now
because someone may be depending on it.

$(or ...) is available since GNU Make 3.81, and useful to shorten the
code in some places.
Covert as follows:
$(if A,A,B) --> $(or A,B)
This patch also converts:
$(if A, A, B) --> $(or A, B)
Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because
GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B)
expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A".
Anyway, preceding spaces are not significant in the code hunks I touched.

Change the man page generation to asciidoc, because it's easier to use
and has been more commonly used in related projects. Remove the current
rst pages.
Add 3 man pages to have a base for more additions:
libperf.3 - overall description
libperf-counting.7 - counting basics explained on simple example
libperf-sampling.7 - sampling basics explained on simple example
The plan is to add more man pages to cover the basic API.
The build generates html and man pages:
$ cd tools/lib/perf/Documentation
$ make
ASCIIDOC libperf.xml
XMLTO libperf.3
ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.xml
XMLTO libperf-counting.7
ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.xml
XMLTO libperf-sampling.7
ASCIIDOC libperf.html
ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.html
ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.html
Add the following install targets:
install-man - man pages
install-html - html version of man pages
install-examples - examples mentioned in the man pages
