But we want to move tools together, not further apart. Every code activity i see from you is trying to tear apart instrumentation tooling - while previously you agreed that it should be unified. So why not do tools/perf/lib/ as you agreed before?
I'm really not interested in seeing the libdrm/libdri mess repeated. Libraries have their uses when there's some very important external interface, but here it's actively harmful as it complicates and hardcodes APIs into ABIs that are clearly not finished yet.
Really, lets not be stupid here.
Thanks,
Ingo
