Commit [0] breaks samples/bpf build: $ make M=samples/bpf ... make -C /path/to/kernel/samples/bpf/../../tools/lib/bpf \ ... EXTRA_CFLAGS=" \ ... -fsanitize=bounds \ -I/path/to/kernel/usr/include \ ... /path/to/kernel/samples/bpf/libbpf/libbpf.a install_headers CC /path/to/kernel/samples/bpf/libbpf/staticobjs/libbpf.o In file included from libbpf.c:29: /path/to/kernel/tools/include/linux/err.h:35:8: error: 'inline' can only appear on functions 35 | static inline void * __must_check ERR_PTR(long error_) | ^ The error is caused by `objtree` variable changing definition from `.` (dot) to an absolute path: - The variable TPROGS_CFLAGS is constructed as follows: ... TPROGS_CFLAGS += -I$(objtree)/usr/include - It is passed as EXTRA_CFLAGS for libbpf compilation: $(LIBBPF): ... ... $(MAKE) -C $(LIBBPF_SRC) RM='rm -rf' EXTRA_CFLAGS="$(TPROGS_CFLAGS)" - Before commit [0], the line passed to libbpf makefile was '-I./usr/include', where '.' referred to LIBBPF_SRC due to -C flag. The directory $(LIBBPF_SRC)/usr/include does not exist and thus was never resolved by C compiler. - After commit [0], the line passed to libbpf makefile became: '<output-dir>/usr/include', this directory exists and is resolved by C compiler. - Both 'tools/include' and 'usr/include' define files err.h and types.h. - libbpf expects headers like 'linux/err.h' and 'linux/types.h' defined in 'tools/include', not 'usr/include', hence the compilation error. This commit removes unnecessary -I flags from libbpf compilation. (libbpf sets up the necessary includes at lib/bpf/Makefile:63).
