Instead of creating a new object Perf_Lttng copying the necessaries
fields, just make a tighter integration with the internal perf counters
and re-use the same fields.
The idea is to leave the internal perf enabled all the time, like it is
in PX4, and then allow the integration with lttng on top. Next step
would be to runtime enable/disable only the perf counters we are
interested in.
This also changes the structure so it's easy to allow another thread to
pull data from the Perf object. A rw lock protects from addition of new
counters and an atomic unsigned int allows other threads to do a
lockless copy of the data.
In order for this to work the allocation was changed to use a single
memory pool instead of returning a calloc'ed data for each perf counter.
Since most of our counters are of ' elapsed' type, don't bother using a
smaller struct for the 'count' type
Like others, use HAVE_ prefix and name it HAVE_LTTNG_UST to be the same
name as exported by pkg-config While at it remove wrong comment with
_HELLO_TP_H.
Support for perf api using lttng.
Some additional build tricks needed for bebop because lttng uses dl_open
which is not compatible with a static link on a different libc as used
on the bebop
