    perf bpf: Include uapi/linux/bpf.h from the 'perf trace' script's bpf.h · 822c2621
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    The next example scripts need the definition for the BPF functions, i.e.
    things like BPF_FUNC_probe_read, and in time will require lots of other
    definitions found in uapi/linux/bpf.h, so include it from the bpf.h file
    included from the eBPF scripts build with clang via '-e bpf_script.c'
    like in this example:
    
      $ tail -8 tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
      #include <bpf.h>
    
      int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
      {
    	return sec == 5;
      }
    
      license(GPL);
      $
    
    That 'bpf.h' include in the 5sec.c eBPF example will come from a set of
    header files crafted for building eBPF objects, that in a end-user
    system will come from:
    
      /usr/lib/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h
    
    And will include <uapi/linux/bpf.h> either from the place where the
    kernel was built, or from a kernel-devel rpm package like:
    
      -working-directory /lib/modules/4.17.9-100.fc27.x86_64/build
    
    That is set up by tools/perf/util/llvm-utils.c, and can be overriden
    by setting the 'kbuild-dir' variable in the "llvm" ~/.perfconfig file,
    like:
    
      # cat ~/.perfconfig
      [llvm]
           kbuild-dir = /home/foo/git/build/linux
    
    This usually doesn't need any change, just documenting here my findings
    while working with this code.
    
    In the future we may want to instead just use what is in
    /usr/include/linux/bpf.h, that comes from the UAPI provided from the
    kernel sources, for now, to avoid getting the kernel's non-UAPI
    "linux/bpf.h" file, that will cause clang to fail and is not what we
    want anyway (no BPF function definitions, etc), do it explicitely by
    asking for "uapi/linux/bpf.h".
