I got the following error when I tried to build perf on a read-only
filesystem with O=dir option.

  $ cd /some/where/ro/linux/tools/perf
  $ make O=$HOME/build/perf
  ...
    CC       /home/namhyung/build/perf/lib.o
  /bin/sh: bpf_helper_defs.h: Read-only file system
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:184: bpf_helper_defs.h] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:778: /home/namhyung/build/perf/libbpf.a] Error 2

    PERF_VERSION = 5.4.0
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:225: sub-make] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2

It was becaused bpf_helper_defs.h was generated in current directory.
Move it to OUTPUT directory.

Commit 5c26f9a78358 ("libbpf: Don't use cxx to test_libpf target")
converted existing c++ test to c. We still want to include and
link against libbpf from c++ code, so reinstate this test back,
this time in a form of a selftest with a clear comment about
its purpose.

<title>libbpf: Fix readelf output parsing on powerpc with recent binutils</title>

<id>3464afdf11f9a1e031e7858a05351ceca1792fea</id>
<content type='text'>
On powerpc with recent versions of binutils, readelf outputs an extra
field when dumping the symbols of an object file. For example:

    35: 0000000000000838    96 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT [&lt;localentry&gt;: 8]     1 btf_is_struct

The extra "[&lt;localentry&gt;: 8]" prevents the GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT variable to
be computed correctly and causes the check_abi target to fail.

Fix that by looking for the symbol name in the last field instead of the
8th one. This way it should also cope with future extra fields.

  $ make -C tools/perf build-test

does, ends up with these two problems:

  make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h', needed by 'bpf_helper_defs.h'.  Stop.
  make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:757: /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.a] Error 2
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Because $(srcdir) points to the /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0 directory
and we need '/tools/ after that variable, and after fixing this then we
get to another problem:

  /bin/sh: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py: No such file or directory
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:184: bpf_helper_defs.h] Error 127
  make[3]: *** Deleting file 'bpf_helper_defs.h'

  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:778: /tmp/build/perf/libbpf.a] Error 2
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Because this requires something outside the tools/ directories that gets
collected into perf's detached tarballs, to fix it just add it to
tools/perf/MANIFEST, which this patch does, now it works for that case
and also for all these other cases.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-10-27

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

We've added 52 non-merge commits during the last 11 day(s) which contain
a total of 65 files changed, 2604 insertions(+), 1100 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

 1) Revolutionize BPF tracing by using in-kernel BTF to type check BPF
    assembly code. The work here teaches BPF verifier to recognize
    kfree_skb()'s first argument as 'struct sk_buff *' in tracepoints
    such that verifier allows direct use of bpf_skb_event_output() helper
    used in tc BPF et al (w/o probing memory access) that dumps skb data
    into perf ring buffer. Also add direct loads to probe memory in order
    to speed up/replace bpf_probe_read() calls, from Alexei Starovoitov.

 2) Big batch of changes to improve libbpf and BPF kselftests. Besides
    others: generalization of libbpf's CO-RE relocation support to now
    also include field existence relocations, revamp the BPF kselftest
    Makefile to add test runner concept allowing to exercise various
    ways to build BPF programs, and teach bpf_object__open() and friends
    to automatically derive BPF program type/expected attach type from
    section names to ease their use, from Andrii Nakryiko.

 3) Fix deadlock in stackmap's build-id lookup on rq_lock(), from Song Liu.

 4) Allow to read BTF as raw data from bpftool. Most notable use case
    is to dump /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux through this, from Jiri Olsa.

 5) Use bpf_redirect_map() helper in libbpf's AF_XDP helper prog which
    manages to improve "rx_drop" performance by ~4%., from Björn Töpel.

 6) Fix to restore the flow dissector after reattach BPF test and also
    fix error handling in bpf_helper_defs.h generation, from Jakub Sitnicki.

 7) Improve verifier's BTF ctx access for use outside of raw_tp, from
    Martin KaFai Lau.

 8) Improve documentation for AF_XDP with new sections and to reflect
    latest features, from Magnus Karlsson.

 9) Add back 'version' section parsing to libbpf for old kernels, from
    John Fastabend.

10) Fix strncat bounds error in libbpf's libbpf_prog_type_by_name(),
    from KP Singh.

11) Turn on -mattr=+alu32 in LLVM by default for BPF kselftests in order
    to improve insn coverage for built BPF progs, from Yonghong Song.

12) Misc minor cleanups and fixes, from various others.

Don't generate a broken bpf_helper_defs.h header if the helper script needs
updating because it doesn't recognize a newly added type. Instead print an
error that explains why the build is failing, clean up the partially
generated header and stop.

Several cases of overlapping changes which were for the most
part trivially resolvable.

In case of C/LDFLAGS there is no way to pass them correctly to build
command, for instance when --sysroot is used or external libraries
are used, like -lelf, wich can be absent in toolchain. This can be
used for samples/bpf cross-compiling allowing to get elf lib from
sysroot.

<title>libbpf: Don't use cxx to test_libpf target</title>

No need to use C++ for test_libbpf target when libbpf is on C and it
can be tested with C, after this change the CXXFLAGS in makefiles can
be avoided, at least in bpf samples, when sysroot is used, passing
same C/LDFLAGS as for lib.

Add "return 0" in test_libbpf to avoid warn, but also remove spaces at
start of the lines to keep same style and avoid warns while apply.
