ve: select CGROUP_PERF only if PERF_EVENTS
CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF depends on CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS, but CONFIG_VE selects
it unconditionally. On architectures or configurations without perf
events - User Mode Linux, for one, which we now want to build for KUnit -
that produces an unmet direct dependency, and a .config with
CGROUP_PERF=y all the same:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CGROUP_PERF
Depends on [n]: CGROUPS [=y] && PERF_EVENTS [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- VE [=y]
Such a .config does not link. CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF adds SUBSYS(perf_event)
to include/linux/cgroup_subsys.h, so cgroup.c builds its subsystem tables
with references to perf_event_cgrp_subsys and its two static keys - all of
which live in kernel/events/core.c, built only when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is
set:
ld: kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o:(.data+0x26b0): undefined reference to
`perf_event_cgrp_subsys'
Make the select conditional; a kernel without perf events has no use for
the perf controller anyway.
