PATCH 1/1 Enable Netdev XDP tutorial for Ubuntu 17.04

This patch resolves build issues when compiling the samples on
Ubuntu 17.04 with the distro 4.10 kernel and the linux-headers package installed. This permits running the samples using distro packages without needing to rebuild the kernel from source.

Tested on a 17.04 VM using virtio_net.

---

I haven't tried the patched version of this on a built from
source kernel yet, so it might break that.

This patch resolves build issues when compiling the samples on

Tested on a 17.04 VM using virtio_net.

This is a good goal and I like where you are going with this.

Unfortunately with this patch applied I cannot build against a locally installed and running kernel.

make: *** [tools/lib/bpf/bpf.o] Error 1

The build deps are not ideal in this Makefile, so I'm wondering if your build was successful because you had tools/lib/bpf/bpf.o left over from a successful build.

This patch on top of yours does work for me. Can you add this on top and let me know if your build still works?

FWIW, I saw this error when originally trying to compile on the
Ubuntu 16.04 user space, because the glibc headers are too old to have this field in bpf_attr.

The build deps are not ideal in this Makefile, so I'm wondering if your build was successful because you had tools/lib/bpf/bpf.o left over from a successful build.

"make clean" looks like it erases that bpf.o, so I don't think
this was it.

Also, I just noticed that make clean isn't getting the command
line program itself:

I haven't tried the patched version of this on a built from

I was able to build on a recent Debian testing by simply inserting the following line into samples/bpf/Makefile to force it to use the kernel's UAPI instead of the installed headers:

HOSTCFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include/uapi/ -D__EXPORTED_HEADERS__
