Cover letter [Buildroot] [RFC PATCH v1 0/1] libbpf: Remove bpf.h in linux.mk
Hi everyone.
I hope you are fine and the same for your relatives.
The goal of this contribution is to fix this a recurrent building problem which happens in buildroot CI (sorry for only taking care of this now...) [1]. Actually, to build host-pahole, we install host-libbpf uapi headers to the host but we remove bpf.h to avoid a conflict with this file while building the kernel [2].
Then host-pahole will use the system uapi headers to be built.
The problem with this approach is that it works while the system uapi headers permits building host-pahole which is not the case within buildroot CI.
So, a solution to this problem would be to keep bpf.h when installing uapi headers and to remove it right before building the kernel to avoid the conflict. As a consequence, we are able to build host-pahole with a good bpf.h and we can then build the kernel.
I sadly know this approach is far from being perfect but this is the only way I see to fix this build problem... So, if someone has a better idea I am up to implement it!
