Jiri Olsa 6bd76b8fab perf tools: Fix static build with newer toolchains
We can't pass --dynamic-list list into static build anymore, because
compilers starts to scream about that. Fedora 26 started to fail build
with following error:

  $ make LDFLAGS=-static
  ...
  /usr/bin/ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/7/../../../../lib64/libc.a(strcmp.o
+)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie

There's no sense for --dynamic-list in static build, because there's no
.dynsym table in static binary. Consequently the traceevent plugins have
never worked with static build, but it was quietly passed by.

To fix this in future I think we should add support to compile plugins
within the perf binary directly for static build.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
