| |
In 746bd29e348f99b4 ("perf build: Use tools/lib headers from install path") we stopped having the tools/lib/ directory from the kernel sources in the header include path unconditionally, which breaks the build on systems with older versions of libbpf-devel, in this case 0.7.0 as some of the structures and function declarations present in the newer version of libbpf included in the kernel sources (tools/lib/bpf) are not anymore used, just the ones in the system libbpf.
So instead of trying to provide alternative functions when the libbpf-bpf_program__set_insns feature test fails, fail a LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 build (requesting the use of the system's libbpf) and emit this build error message:
$ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf Makefile.config:593: *** Error: libbpf devel library needs to be >= 0.8.0 to build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC, update or build statically with the version that comes with the kernel sources. Stop. $
For v6.3 these tests will be revamped and we'll require libbpf 1.0 as a minimal version for using LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, most distros should have it by now or at v6.3 time.
