stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.2 commit 221d9cbc5dd2beda4f7fc0b1265c6e5e06144571 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8IW7G
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit c1783ddfb62420c44cdf4672dad2046f056c624b ]
By default perf will fail the build if the development files for libtraceevent are not available.
To build perf without libtraceevent support, disabling several features such as 'perf trace', one needs to add NO_LIBTRACEVENT=1 to the make command line.
Add the missing comments about that to the tools/perf/Makefile.perf file, just like all the other such command line toggles.
