4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jeremy Cline <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 32aa928a7b817140c84987b726d5014911808fa4 ] Builds started failing in Fedora on Python 3.7 with: `.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' referenced in section `.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' of util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o: defined in discarded section In Fedora, Python 3.7 added -flto to the list of --cflags and since it was only applied to util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c and scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c, linking failed. It's not the first time the addition of flags has broken builds: commit c6707fdef7e2 ("perf tools: Fix up build in hardnened environments") appears to have fixed a similar problem. "python-config --includes" provides the proper -I flags and doesn't introduce additional CFLAGS.
