So this doesn't work on recent Ubuntu systems:

...                 libbabeltrace: [ OFF ]

triton:~/tip/tools/perf/config/feature-checks> make 
test-libbabeltrace.bin
gcc -MD  -Wall -Werror -o test-libbabeltrace.bin test-libbabeltrace.c  
# -lbabeltrace provided by 
test-libbabeltrace.c: In function ‘main’:test-libbabeltrace.c:6:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘bt_ctf_stream_class_get_packet_context_type’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  bt_ctf_stream_class_get_packet_context_type((void *) 0);
  ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Makefile:140: recipe for target 'test-libbabeltrace.bin' failed

I have all the requirements, libbabeltrace-ctf-dev and 
libbabeltrace-dev installed, yet the writer.h file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5283 Oct  7 14:44 /usr/include/babeltrace/ctf-writer/writer.h

does not include a prototype for 
bt_ctf_stream_class_get_packet_context_type().

If Ubuntu's writer.h is too old then either our API use should match 
the ones available:

triton:~/tip/tools/perf/config/feature-checks> grep extern 
/usr/include/babeltrace/ctf-writer/writer.h 
extern "C" {
extern struct bt_ctf_writer *bt_ctf_writer_create(const char *path);
extern struct bt_ctf_stream *bt_ctf_writer_create_stream(
extern int bt_ctf_writer_add_environment_field(struct bt_ctf_writer *writer,
extern int bt_ctf_writer_add_clock(struct bt_ctf_writer *writer,
extern char *bt_ctf_writer_get_metadata_string(struct bt_ctf_writer *writer);
extern void bt_ctf_writer_flush_metadata(struct bt_ctf_writer *writer);
extern int bt_ctf_writer_set_byte_order(struct bt_ctf_writer *writer,
extern void bt_ctf_writer_get(struct bt_ctf_writer *writer);
extern void bt_ctf_writer_put(struct bt_ctf_writer *writer);

or CTF support should be removed from the default set of perf 
features, because right now it blocks the 'all' build speedup.

Thanks,
