The oprofile build was broken on powerpc since version 0.9.8.
This was detected in several autobuilds, like
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/6f6c02d18495907d50fcdfc6003ac20d493c55fe/

Thomas Petazzoni had some fixes pending in his own tree, and this patch is
partially based on this work (credits to him). Here is an overview:
- I took over (and fixed) the oprofile.mk changes, except for the powerpc-
  specific part. For powerpc, there is a new dependency to libpfm4.
- I reimported those Yocto patches that were specific to the ppc build
  issues, but left out the other ones. Those can be added in separate
  commits.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix PPC64-specific libpfm usage so it doesn't break ppc32
+ architecture
+
+The configure check to determine whether we should use libpfm or not
+is intended only for the ppc64 architecture, but was incorrectly
+hitting on the ppc32 architecture, too.  Not only that, but it was using
+'uname' which is not a good idea in cross-compile situtations.
+
+Then, aside from that, we had several instances in the source code
+of the following:
+   #if (defined(__powerpc__) || defined(__powerpc64__))
+which incorrectly included ppc32 architecutre also, when it was intended
+for use as PPC64 architecture.
+
+This patch fixes both errors.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix up configure to handle architectures that do not
+ implement perf_event_open
+
+This patch fixes the following problems:
+
+1) The configure script allows the user to pass a location to kernel
+headers (via --with-kernel option) such that, even if the running
+kernel does not have perf_events support, it may be possible to
+build operf (e.g., in cross-compile environments).  But the message
+'This kernel does not have perf_events support; falling back to legacy
+oprofile' was being displayed inappropriately in such cases.  This
+patch changes the configure script so that the "falling back to
+legacy oprofile" message will only be displayed if we're running
+on a kernel that does not have perf_events support AND the user
+did not pass specify the "--with-kernel" option.
+
+2) Some architectures don't even implement the perf_event_open syscall, so the
+configure script must do more than checking kernel version and whether or not
+perf_event.h is present in order to decide if perf_events is supported.
+This patch provides that extra capability.
+
+These problems were reported by Tony Jones <tonyj@suse.com>.
