A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

Trying to build a .c file that includes <linux/bpf_perf_event.h>:
$ cat test_bpf_headers.c
#include <linux/bpf_perf_event.h>
throws the below error:
/usr/include/linux/bpf_perf_event.h:14:28: error: field ‘regs’ has incomplete type
14 | bpf_user_pt_regs_t regs;
| ^~~~
This is because we typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to 'struct user_pt_regs'
in arch/powerpc/include/uaps/asm/bpf_perf_event.h, but 'struct
user_pt_regs' is not exposed to userspace.
Powerpc has both pt_regs and user_pt_regs structures. However, unlike
arm64 and s390, we expose user_pt_regs to userspace as just 'pt_regs'.
As such, we should typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to 'struct pt_regs' for
userspace.
Within the kernel though, we want to typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to
'struct user_pt_regs'.
Remove arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/bpf_perf_event.h so that the
uapi/asm-generic version of the header is exposed to userspace.
Introduce arch/powerpc/include/asm/bpf_perf_event.h so that we can
typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to 'struct user_pt_regs' for use within the
kernel.
Note that this was not showing up with the bpf selftest build since
tools/include/uapi/asm/bpf_perf_event.h didn't include the powerpc
variant.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
