So it turns out that my build environment didn't have the stackleak code 
enabled at all:

  kepler:~/mingo.tip.git> make ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #
  kepler:~/mingo.tip.git> grep -E 'STACKLEAK|GCC_PLUGIN' .config
  CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK=y
  CONFIG_HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS=y

... because it failed this condition:

 menuconfig GCC_PLUGINS
 ...
        depends on $(success,test -e $(shell,$(CC) -print-file-name=plugin)/include/plugin-version.h)

... because there were no plugin headers:

  kepler:~/mingo.tip.git> gcc -print-file-name=plugin
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/plugin

  kepler:~/mingo.tip.git> ls $(gcc -print-file-name=plugin)/include/
  ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/plugin/include/': No such file or directory

... because I needed to install the plugin-development packages for gcc-10.

After installing those I have stackleak:

  kepler:~/mingo.tip.git> grep STACKLEAK .config
  CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK=y
  CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK=y
  CONFIG_STACKLEAK_TRACK_MIN_SIZE=100
  CONFIG_STACKLEAK_METRICS=y
  CONFIG_STACKLEAK_RUNTIME_DISABLE=y

and was able to reproduce your build failure. :-)

Yeah - I used a simpler & more generic header: <linux/ptrace_api.h> - see 
the patch below.

But your solution is functionally equivalent. This fix will be included in 
-v2, hopefully released later today.

Thanks,
