This adds definitions available in the uapi version. Explanation: In the kernel include of types.h the uapi version is included. In tools the uapi/linux/types.h and linux/types.h are distinct. For BPF programs a definition of __wsum is needed by the generated bpf_helpers.h. The definition comes either from a generated vmlinux.h or from <linux/types.h> that may be transitively included from bpf.h. The perf build prefers linux/types.h over uapi/linux/types.h for <linux/types.h>*. To allow tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/bpf_prog_profiler.bpf.c to compile with the same include path used for perf then these definitions are necessary. There is likely a wider conversation about exactly how types.h should be specified and the include order used by the perf build - it is somewhat confusing that tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h is using the non-uapi types.h. *see tools/perf/Makefile.config: ... INC_FLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/include/ INC_FLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/uapi INC_FLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/include/uapi ... The include directories are scanned from left-to-right: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Directory-Options.html As tools/include/linux/types.h appears before tools/include/uapi/linux/types.h then I say it is preferred.

Given more related to perf build infra, I presume Arnaldo would pick this one up? Thanks, Daniel
