Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4541a8bb13 tools build: Check if gettid() is available before providing helper
Laura reported that the perf build failed in fedora when we got a glibc
that provides gettid(), which I reproduced using fedora rawhide with the
glibc-devel-2.29.9000-26.fc31.x86_64 package.

Add a feature check to avoid providing a gettid() helper in such
systems.

On a fedora rawhide system with this patch applied we now get:

  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]# grep gettid /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-gettid=1
  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]# cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-gettid.make.output
  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]# ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-gettid.bin
          linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc6b1f6000)
          libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f04e0a74000)
          /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f04e0c47000)
  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]# nm /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-gettid.bin | grep -w gettid
                   U gettid@@GLIBC_2.30
  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]#

While on a fedora:29 system:

  [acme@quaco perf]$ grep gettid /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-gettid=0
  [acme@quaco perf]$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-gettid.make.output
  test-gettid.c: In function ‘main’:
  test-gettid.c:8:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘gettid’; did you mean ‘getgid’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    return gettid();
           ^~~~~~
           getgid
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  [acme@quaco perf]$

README

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.
