Hi guys,

   While merging perf/core with mainline I found the problem below for
which I'm adding this patch to my perf/core branch, that soon will go
Ingo's way, etc. Please let me know if you think this should be handled
some other way,

Thanks,

- Arnaldo

    libbpf: Fix up generation of bpf_helper_defs.h

    Building perf as a detached tarball, i.e. by using one of:

      $ make help | grep perf
        perf-tar-src-pkg    - Build perf-5.4.0.tar source tarball
        perf-targz-src-pkg  - Build perf-5.4.0.tar.gz source tarball
        perf-tarbz2-src-pkg - Build perf-5.4.0.tar.bz2 source tarball
        perf-tarxz-src-pkg  - Build perf-5.4.0.tar.xz source tarball
      $

    And then trying to build the resulting tarball, which is the first thing
    that running:

      $ make -C tools/perf build-test

    does, ends up with these two problems:

      make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h', needed by 'bpf_helper_defs.h'.  Stop.
      make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
      make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:757: /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.a] Error 2
      make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

    Because $(srcdir) points to the /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0 directory
    and we need '/tools/ after that variable, and after fixing this then we
    get to another problem:

      /bin/sh: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py: No such file or directory
      make[3]: *** [Makefile:184: bpf_helper_defs.h] Error 127
      make[3]: *** Deleting file 'bpf_helper_defs.h'
        LD       /tmp/build/perf/libapi-in.o
      make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:778: /tmp/build/perf/libbpf.a] Error 2
      make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

    Because this requires something outside the tools/ directories that gets
    collected into perf's detached tarballs, to fix it just add it to
    tools/perf/MANIFEST, which this patch does, now it works for that case
    and also for all these other cases after doing a:

      $ make -C tools clean

    On a kernel sources directory:

fwiw. this bit looks good. Makes sense to do regardless.

This one I don't understand. I couldn't find any piece that uses this file.
Some out of tree usage?
See above on the part that you considered good.

First it couldn't find  $(srctree)/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h when it
tried to handle that bpf_helper_defs.h target, I fixed that by adding
the missing /tools/ bit and then it tried to run
scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py.

The perf tarball doesn't use anything from the kernel sources (outside
tools/), but since libbpf now uses something that is in the kernel top
level 'scripts' directory, I have to put that script in
tools/perf/MANIFEST so that it can be used when building from the
tarball, detached from the kernel sources.

Or am I still missing something?
