This patch tries to check the version of bpf.h, because old bpf.h doesn't
define 'kern_version' field for 'union bpf_attr'.

I think the problem you meet is caused by missing of kernel headers in your
host system environment. After patch 'perf tools: Make perf depend on
libbpf'
this checking should always success because it adds required headers
into MANIFEST and setup FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf.

Also, after applying 3/50 you should see this:

# make O=/tmp/build/bpf/ -C tools/lib/bpf/

Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... libelf-getphdrnum: [ on ]
... libelf-mmap: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]

make: Entering directory `/home/wn/kernel-hydrogen/tools/lib/bpf'
CC /tmp/build/bpf/libbpf.o
LD /tmp/build/bpf/libbpf-in.o
LINK /tmp/build/bpf/libbpf.a
LINK /tmp/build/bpf/libbpf.so
make: Leaving directory `/home/wn/kernel/tools/lib/bpf'

Even if in perf checking bpf should fail in your machine now, checking
bpf feature in
libbpf should success because when build libbpf I have added following
setting to
tools/lib/bpf/Makefile:

INCLUDES = -I. -I$(srctree)/tools/include
-I$(srctree)/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi -I$(srctree)/include/uapi
FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf = $(INCLUDES)

Do you want me to squash 2/30 and 3/50 together and append 'bpf' checker
into FEATURE_TESTS in
tools/build/Makefile.feature in 23/50? Then there should be less
confusion: when compiling perf
before 23/50, bpf feature will never be checked then.

Thank you.
