  perf build: Align the names of the build tests: (2016-01-29 17:51:04 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
New features:

- Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)

Infrastructure:

- Use the 'feature-dump' target to do the feature checks just once and then
  add code to reuse that in the tests/make makefile, speeding up the
  'make -C tools/perf build-test' target (Wang Nan)

- Reduce the number of tests the 'build-test' target do to those that don't
  pollute the source tree (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Improve the output of the build tests a bit by aligning the name of the
  tests, more can be done to filter out uninteresting info in the output
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add perf_evlist pointer to *info_priv_size(), more prep work for
  supporting the coresight architecture (Mathieu Poirier)

- Improve the 'perf test bp_signal' test (Wang Nan)

- Check environment before starting the BPF 'perf test', so that we can just
  'Skip' older kernels instead of 'FAIL'ing them (Wang Nan)

- Fix cpumode of synthesized buildid event (Wang Nan)
