[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 12/47] perf tools: Allow overriding MAX_NR_CPUS at compile time

[Sasha Levin <Alexander.Levin@microsoft.com>]

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

[ Upstream commit 21b8732eb4479b579bda9ee38e62b2c312c2a0e5 ]

After update of kernel, the perf tool doesn't run anymore on my 32MB RAM
powerpc board, but still runs on a 128MB RAM board:

  ~# strace perf
  execve("/usr/sbin/perf", ["perf"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
  --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=0} ---
  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
  Segmentation fault

objdump -x shows that .bss section has a huge size of 24Mbytes:

 27 .bss          016baca8  101cebb8  101cebb8  001cd988  2**3

With especially the following objects having quite big size:

  10205f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_cycles_stats
  10345f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_stalled_cycles_front_stats
  10485f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_stalled_cycles_back_stats
  105c5f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_branches_stats
  10705f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_cacherefs_stats
  10845f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_l1_dcache_stats
  10985f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_l1_icache_stats
  10ac5f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_ll_cache_stats
  10c05f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_itlb_cache_stats
  10d45f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_dtlb_cache_stats
  10e85f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_cycles_in_tx_stats
  10fc5f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_transaction_stats
  11105f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_elision_stats
  11245f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_topdown_total_slots
  11385f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_topdown_slots_retired
  114c5f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_topdown_slots_issued
  11605f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_topdown_fetch_bubbles
  11745f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_topdown_recovery_bubbles

This is due to commit 4d255766d28b1 ("perf: Bump max number of cpus
to 1024"), because many tables are sized with MAX_NR_CPUS

This patch gives the opportunity to redefine MAX_NR_CPUS via

  $ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DMAX_NR_CPUS=1
