I cloned https://github.com/Linaro/OpenCSD and version is 1.4.0

Here I am cross-compiling OpenCSD and perf for ARCH64 platform.

I set CSLIBS and CSINCLUDES to point to cross-compiled OpenCSD libs/headers.
Then cross-compile kernel perf application.

export CSLIBS=/scratch/development/coresight/OpenCSD/decoder/lib/builddir
export CSINCLUDES=/scratch/development/coresight/OpenCSD/decoder/include/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CSLIBS
make NO_LIBELF=1 NO_JVMTI=1 VF=1 CORESIGHT=1 DEBUG=1 -C tools/perf/

Makefile.config:520: *** Error: No libopencsd library found or the version is not up-to-date. 
Please install recent libopencsd to build with CORESIGHT=1.  Stop.
