hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependency
The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config
dependencies.
Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't
ensure perf can never be disabled under us.
We have:
config X86
selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
select PERF_EVENTS
config PERF_EVENTS
[...]
x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf
events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is
necessary for the breakpoints.
What we need is:
- x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS
- HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS
so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.
This fixes the following kind of build errors:
In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31:
include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr':
include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr'
v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf
