The above uses libbpf functions unconditionally, leading to build
failures when NO_LIBBPF=1 is passed or libbpf somehow is not available
or can't be built.

So I added this:

+#else // HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
+static int write_bpf_prog_info(struct feat_fd *ff __maybe_unused,
+ struct perf_evlist *evlist __maybe_unused)
+{
+ return 0;
+}
+#endif // HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT

And added this committer notes:

Committer notes:

We can't use the libbpf unconditionally, as the build may have been with
NO_LIBBPF, when we end up with linking errors, so provide a dummy
write_bpf_prog_info() wrapped by HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT for that case.

Reading and printing are not affected by this, so can continue as is.
