Yes. Thanks for the fix. It's more than a merge conflict.
I should have added it in the first place. Now we have both
perf and samples/bpf depend on tools/lib/bpf and I simply
forgot about this dependency, since building perf
is not my typical workflow.

Joe,
can you think of a way to make tools/lib/bpf to
use tools/include only?
Right now we just pull tools/lib/bpf/bpf.o in samples/bpf/Makefile
and that's a hack that caused this issue.
samples/bpf/ needs to depend on libbpf.a properly.

For the patch:
Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>

Dave,
can you apply it to 'net' tree,
since the patch properly made it into patchwork ?
or I can resubmit it.
Thanks!
