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. Move CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL block out of the CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS block to make it available unconditionally.
