Having said that, we need to improve the warning and I processed a patch from Ian to that extent: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/commit/?h=tmp.perf-tools-next&id=12a83df53444165d39d3e09fcd9627e7bec7828e $(SKEL_OUT)/vmlinux.h: $(VMLINUX_BTF) $(BPFTOOL) ifeq ($(VMLINUX_H),) - $(QUIET_GEN)$(BPFTOOL) btf dump file $< format c > $@ + $(QUIET_GEN)$(BPFTOOL) btf dump file $< format c > $@ || \ + (echo "Failure to generate vmlinux.h needed for the recommended BPF skeleton support." && \ + echo "To disable this use the build option NO_BPF_SKEL=1." && \ + echo "Alternatively point at a pre-generated vmlinux.h with VMLINUX_H=<path>." && \ + false) else $(Q)cp "$(VMLINUX_H)" $@ endif Which improves a bit the situation. We could check if bpftool is available and if not, suggest installing it. If it is available, we could check if /sys/kernel/bpf/ is available, if not suggest using a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, as most distros have by now.

Other arches probably will hit some of these problems, lets try to encourage others to try what is in linux-next. - Arnaldo
