[PATCH bpf-next v2 1/3] samples: bpf: Fix cross-compiling error by using bootstrap bpftool

From: Pu Lehui
Date: Wed Jul 13 2022 - 22:15:56 EST


Currently, when cross compiling bpf samples, the host side cannot
use arch-specific bpftool to generate vmlinux.h or skeleton. Since
samples/bpf use bpftool for vmlinux.h, skeleton, and static linking
only, we can use lightweight bootstrap version of bpftool to handle
these, and it's always host-native.
