[ Upstream commit 83868bf71d2eb7700b37f1ea188007f0125e4ee4 ]

The perf tool build and install is controlled via a Makefile. The
'install' rule creates directories and copies files. Among them are
header files installed in /usr/lib/include/perf/bpf/.

However all listed examples are installing its header files in

/usr/lib/<tool-name>/...[/include]/header.h

and not in

/usr/lib/include/<tool-name>/.../header.h.

Background information:

Building the Fedora 28 glibc RPM on s390x and s390 fails on s390 (gcc
-m31) as gcc is not able to find header-files like stdbool.h.

In the glibc.spec file, you can see that glibc is configured with
"--with-headers". In this case, first -nostdinc is added to the CFLAGS
and then further include paths are added via -isystem. One of those
paths should contain header files like stdbool.h.

In order to get this path, gcc is invoked with:

- on Fedora 28 (with 4.18 kernel):

$ gcc -print-file-name=include
/usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include
$ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include
/usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib/include
=> If perf is installed, this is: /usr/lib/include
On my machine this directory is only containing the directory "perf".
If perf is not installed gcc returns: /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include

- on Ubuntu 18.04 (with 4.15 kernel):

$ gcc -print-file-name=include
/usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include
$ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include
/usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include
=> gcc returns the correct path even if perf is installed.

In each case, the introduction of the subdirectory /usr/lib/include
leads to the regression that one can not build the glibc RPM for s390
anymore as gcc can not find headers like stdbool.h.

To remedy this install bpf.h to /usr/lib/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h

Output before using the command 'perf test -Fv 40':

echo '...[bpf-program-source]...' | /usr/bin/clang ... \
-I/root/lib/include/perf/bpf ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
[root@p23lp27 perf]# perf test -F 40
40: BPF filter :
40.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
40.2: BPF pinning : Ok
40.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
40.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok
[root@p23lp27 perf]#

Output after using command 'perf test -Fv 40':

echo '...[bpf-program-source]...' | /usr/bin/clang ... \
-I/root/lib/perf/include/bpf ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
[root@p23lp27 perf]# perf test -F 40
40: BPF filter :
40.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
40.2: BPF pinning : Ok
40.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
40.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok
[root@p23lp27 perf]#

Committer testing:

While the above 'perf test -F 40' (or 'perf test bpf') will allow us
to see that the correct path is now added via -I, to actually test this
we better try to use a bpf script that includes files in the changed
directory.

We have the files that now reside in /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/ to do
just that:

# tail -8 /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
#include <bpf.h>

int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
{
return sec == 5;
}

# perf trace -e *sleep -e /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c sleep 4
0.333 (4000.086 ms): sleep/9248 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc155f3300) = 0
# perf trace -e *sleep -e /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c sleep 5

0.296 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9911efe0) tv_sec=5
0.293 (5986.912 ms): sleep/10489 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
