[ Upstream commit c1783ddfb62420c44cdf4672dad2046f056c624b ]
By default perf will fail the build if the development files for
libtraceevent are not available.
To build perf without libtraceevent support, disabling several features
such as 'perf trace', one needs to add NO_LIBTRACEVENT=1 to the make
command line.
Add the missing comments about that to the tools/perf/Makefile.perf
file, just like all the other such command line toggles.
Fixes: 378ef0f5d9d7f465 ("perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system")

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.
