perf build: Fix installation directory for eBPF
The perf tool build and install is controlled via a Makefile. The 'install' rule creates directories and copies files. Among them are header files installed in /usr/lib/include/perf/bpf/. However all listed examples are installing its header files in /usr/lib/<tool-name>/...[/include]/header.h and not in /usr/lib/include/<tool-name>/.../header.h. Background information: Building the Fedora 28 glibc RPM on s390x and s390 fails on s390 (gcc -m31) as gcc is not able to find header-files like stdbool.h. In the glibc.spec file, you can see that glibc is configured with "--with-headers". In this case, first -nostdinc is added to the CFLAGS and then further include paths are added via -isystem. One of those paths should contain header files like stdbool.h. In order to get this path, gcc is invoked with: - on Fedora 28 (with 4.18 kernel): $ gcc -print-file-name=include /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include $ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib/include => If perf is installed, this is: /usr/lib/include On my machine this directory is only containing the directory "perf". If perf is not installed gcc returns: /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include - on Ubuntu 18.04 (with 4.15 kernel): $ gcc -print-file-name=include /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include $ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include => gcc returns the correct path even if perf is installed. In each case, the introduction of the subdirectory /usr/lib/include leads to the regression that one can not build the glibc RPM for s390 anymore as gcc can not find headers like stdbool.h. To remedy this install bpf.h to /usr/lib/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h Output before using the command 'perf test -Fv 40': echo '...[bpf-program-source]...' | /usr/bin/clang ... \ -I/root/lib/include/perf/bpf ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ... [root@p23lp27 perf]# perf test -F 40 40: BPF filter : 40.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok 40.2: BPF pinning : Ok 40.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok 40.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok [root@p23lp27 perf]# Output after using command 'perf test -Fv 40': echo '...[bpf-program-source]...' | /usr/bin/clang ... \ -I/root/lib/perf/include/bpf ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ...

We have the files that now reside in /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/ to do just that: # tail -8 /root/lib/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); # perf trace -e *sleep -e /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c sleep 4 0.333 (4000.086 ms): sleep/9248 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc155f3300) = 0 # perf trace -e *sleep -e /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c sleep 5 0.287 ( ): sleep/9659 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffeafe38200) ... 0.290 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9911efe0) tv_sec=5 0.287 (5000.059 ms): sleep/9659 ...
