Based on Jiri's latest attempt:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/16/61

Basically, adds_features should be byte swapped assuming unsigned
longs are either 8-bytes (u64) or 4-bytes (u32).

    Fixes 32-bit ppc dumping 64-bit x86 feature data:

This renames for_each_set_bit_cont() to for_each_set_bit_from() because
it is analogous to list_for_each_entry_from() in list.h rather than
list_for_each_entry_continue().

This doesn't remove for_each_set_bit_cont() for now.

This patch introduces the for_each_set_bit() macro and modifies feature
implementation to use it.

We need the definiton for __always_inline in bitops.h to fix the build
on distros where it isn't available or compiler.h doesn't get included
indirectly.

One of the fixes needed to build perf on RHEL4 systems, for instance.

Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.

For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.

Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

We need to refactor code to be explicitely shared by the kernel and at
least the tools/ userspace programs, so, till we do that, copy the bare
minimum bitmap/bitops code needed by tools/perf.

Currently, perf fails to compile on powerpc with this error:

     CC util/header.o
 In file included from util/../perf.h:17,
                  from util/header.c:9:
 util/../../../arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h:360:27: error:
 linux/linkage.h: No such file or directory make: ***
 [util/header.o] Error 1

The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect
at the point where <asm/unistd.h> gets included, which means we
get extra stuff that we don't need or want.

This fixes the problem by undefining __KERNEL__ once we have
included the file for which we need __KERNEL__ defined.
