It seems the recent libbpf got more strict about the section name. I'm seeing a failure like this: $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup ^. sleep 1 libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': missing BPF prog type, check ELF section name 'perf_events' libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': failed to load: -22 libbpf: failed to load object 'bperf_cgroup_bpf' libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bperf_cgroup_bpf': -22 Failed to load cgroup skeleton The section name should be 'perf_event' (without the trailing 's'). Although it's related to the libbpf change, it'd be better fix the section name in the first place.
