Currently we depend on output of 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"', to
check whether perf was built with libtraceevent support.
Instead, a more straightforward approach can be to check the build options,
using 'perf version --build-options', to check for libtraceevent support.
When perf is compiled WITHOUT libtraceevent ('make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1'),
'perf version --build-options' outputs (output trimmed):
...
libtraceevent: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
...
While, when perf is compiled WITH libtraceevent,
'perf version --build-options' outputs:
...
libtraceevent: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
...
Committer notes:
Removed one grep in the pipleline by combining the two into just one
expression that covers the OFF + HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

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.
