[backport PATCH 1/2] tools perf: Fix compilation error with new binutils

From: Anders Roxell

From: Andres Freund <andres@xxxxxxxxxxx>

binutils changed the signature of init_disassemble_info(), which now causes
compilation failures for tools/perf/util/annotate.c, e.g. on debian
unstable.

Relevant binutils commit:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=60a3da00bd5407f07

Wire up the feature test and switch to init_disassemble_info_compat(),
which were introduced in prior commits, fixing the compilation failure.

I verified that perf can still disassemble bpf programs by using bpftrace
under load, recording a perf trace, and then annotating the bpf "function"
with and without the changes. With old binutils there's no change in output
before/after this patch. When comparing the output from old binutils (2.35)
to new bintuils with the patch (upstream snapshot) there are a few output
differences, but they are unrelated to this patch. An example hunk is:

1.15 : 55:mov %rbp,%rdx
0.00 : 58:add $0xfffffffffffffff8,%rdx
0.00 : 5c:xor %ecx,%ecx
- 1.03 : 5e:callq 0xffffffffe12aca3c
+ 1.03 : 5e:call 0xffffffffe12aca3c
0.00 : 63:xor %eax,%eax
- 2.18 : 65:leaveq
- 2.82 : 66:retq
+ 2.18 : 65:leave
+ 2.82 : 66:ret
