Subject: [PATCH, REPORT] bpf_trace: build error without PERF_EVENTS

In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for
newly added code in bpf_perf_event_read and bpf_perf_event_output
whenever CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is disabled:

kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c: In function 'bpf_perf_event_read':
kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:203:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'oncpu'
if (event->oncpu != smp_processor_id() ||
^
kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:204:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'pmu'
event->pmu->count)

This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
adding Kconfig dependencies.

Simply hiding the broken code inside #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS
as this patch does seems to reliably fix the error as well,
I have built thousands of randconfig kernels since I started
seeing this and added the workaround.

I suspect my patch is not the right answer, but could someone please
fix this?

I think that seems better than spreading #if IS_ENABLEDs into the code.
Probably enough to add a 'depends on PERF_EVENTS' to config BPF_EVENTS,
so it's also explicitly documented.

So just do the following then?

yeah that's definitely cleaner and avoids ifdef creep in the future.

Agreed, that's better.
