Subject[PATCH v2 4/4] perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Document clang configuration
Date
To build this program successfully with clang, there have three
compiler options need to be specified:

- Header file path: tools/perf/include/bpf;
- Specify architecture;
- Define macro __NR_CPUS__.

This patch add comments to explain the reasons for building failure and
give two examples for llvm.clang-opt variable, one is for x86_64
architecture and another is for aarch64 architecture.

+ *
+ * [llvm]
+ * clang-opt = "-D__NR_CPUS__=8 -D__x86_64__ \
+ * -I./tools/perf/include/bpf"
+ *
+ * E.g. Test on a platform with 5 CPUs with aarch64 architecture:
+ *
+ * [llvm]
+ * clang-opt = "-D__NR_CPUS__=5 -D__aarch64__ \
+ * -I./tools/perf/include/bpf"
+
* This exactly matches what is marshalled into the raw_syscall:sys_enter
* payload expected by the 'perf trace' beautifiers.
