When fuzzing something like parse-events, having the main function in
perf.c alongside global variables like input_name means that
input_name must be redeclared with the fuzzer function's
main. However, as the fuzzer is using the tools/perf code as a library
this causes backward linking reference that the linker may warn
about. Reorganize perf.c and perf.h to avoid potential backward
references, or so that the declaration/definition locations are more
consistent.
Ian Rogers (6):
perf ui: Move window resize signal functions
perf usage: Move usage strings
perf header: Move perf_version_string declaration
perf version: Use regular verbose flag
perf util: Move input_name to util
perf util: Move perf_guest/host declarations
