[PATCH v2 11/15] tools/rv: Define CONFIG_X86_64 statically for BPF monitors
From: Gabriele Monaco
Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 11:49:15 EST
BPF atomic macros require CONFIG_X86_64 to determine barrier
instructions. Reading this from the system Kconfig can fail if the
configuration is missing or in an unexpected location, causing the
loading phase to fail.
Since the rv tool is compiled for the target architecture, the
architecture is known at compile-time. Define the CONFIG_X86_64 value
statically via the libbpf open options to bypass Kconfig dependency and
ensure reliable loading.
