Subject[PATCH v2] perf build: Build error in libbpf with EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2"
Date
commit a5b8bd47dcc57 ("bpf tools: Collect eBPF programs from their own sections")

causes a compiler error when building the perf tool in the linux-next tree.
I compile it using a FEDORA 28 installation, my gcc compiler version:
gcc (GCC) 8.0.1 20180324 (Red Hat 8.0.1-0.20)

The file that causes the error is tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c

Here is the error message:

[root@p23lp27] # make V=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2"
[...]
make -f /home6/tmricht/linux-next/tools/build/Makefile.build
dir=./util/scripting-engines obj=libperf
libbpf.c: In function ‘bpf_object__elf_collect’:
libbpf.c:811:15: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’,
declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
strerror_r(-err, errmsg, sizeof(errmsg));
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
mv: cannot stat './.libbpf.o.tmp': No such file or directory
/home6/tmricht/linux-next/tools/build/Makefile.build:96: recipe for target 'libbpf.o' failed

Since this is the only occurance of strerror_r() replace it
by strerror(). The additional functionality of strerror_r() to
copy the error message into the supplied buffer is not needed.
This is also consistant with all the other pr_warning() statements
in this file which all use strerror().

Also fixes a possible initialization issue.
