bpftool: use a local copy of perf_event to fix accessing :: Bpf_cookie
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not set, struct perf_event remains empty.
However, the structure is being used by bpftool indirectly via BTF.
This leads to:

skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:49:30: error: no member named 'bpf_cookie' in 'struct perf_event'
        return BPF_CORE_READ(event, bpf_cookie);
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~

...

skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:49:9: error: returning 'void' from a function with incompatible result type '__u64' (aka 'unsigned long long')
        return BPF_CORE_READ(event, bpf_cookie);
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tools and samples can't use any CONFIG_ definitions, so the fields
used there should always be present.
Define struct perf_event___local with the `preserve_access_index`
attribute inside the pid_iter BPF prog to allow compiling on any
configs. CO-RE will substitute it with the real struct perf_event
accesses later on.
