Perf tool build and install is controlled via makefile. Make install
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
