    perf bpf: Avoid build breakage with libbpf < 0.8.0 + LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 · 14292a4a
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    In 746bd29e ("perf build: Use tools/lib headers from install
    path") we stopped having the tools/lib/ directory from the kernel
    sources in the header include path unconditionally, which breaks the
    build on systems with older versions of libbpf-devel, in this case 0.7.0
    as some of the structures and function declarations present in the newer
    version of libbpf included in the kernel sources (tools/lib/bpf) are not
    anymore used, just the ones in the system libbpf.
    
    So instead of trying to provide alternative functions when the
    libbpf-bpf_program__set_insns feature test fails, fail a
    LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 build (requesting the use of the system's libbpf) and
    emit this build error message:
    
      $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf
      Makefile.config:593: *** Error: libbpf devel library needs to be >= 0.8.0 to build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC, update or build statically with the version that comes with the kernel sources.  Stop.
      $
    
    For v6.3 these tests will be revamped and we'll require libbpf 1.0 as a
    minimal version for using LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, most distros should have it
    by now or at v6.3 time.
