When syncing latest libbpf repo to bcc, ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0 LTS kernel) failed compilation for xsk.c: In file included from /tmp/debuild.0jkauG/bcc/src/cc/libbpf/src/xsk.c:23:0: /tmp/debuild.0jkauG/bcc/src/cc/libbpf/src/xsk.c: In function ‘xsk_get_ctx’: /tmp/debuild.0jkauG/bcc/src/cc/libbpf/include/linux/list.h:81:9: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘container_of’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] container_of(ptr, type, member) ^ /tmp/debuild.0jkauG/bcc/src/cc/libbpf/include/linux/list.h:83:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘list_entry’ list_entry((ptr)->next, type, member) ... src/cc/CMakeFiles/bpf-static.dir/build.make:209: recipe for target 'src/cc/CMakeFiles/bpf-static.dir/libbpf/src/xsk.c.o' failed Commit 2f6324a3937f ("libbpf: Support shared umems between queues and devices") added include file <linux/list.h>, which uses macro "container_of". xsk.c file also includes <linux/ethtool.h> before <linux/list.h>. In a more recent distro kernel, <linux/ethtool.h> includes <linux/kernel.h> which contains the macro definition for "container_of". So compilation is all fine. But in ubuntu 16.04 kernel, <linux/ethtool.h> does not contain <linux/kernel.h> which caused the above compilation error. Let explicitly add <linux/kernel.h> in xsk.c to avoid compilation error in old distro's.
