[PATCH 0/2] tools build: Fix arm64's unistd_64.h dependency
Posted by Leo Yan 2 months ago
Arm64's unistd.h is included in the tools build, but its dependent
header unistd_64.h is missing.  This results in only a partial set of UAPI
headers being available, forcing tools to generate unistd_64.h dynamically.

Because unistd.h is widely used across the tools directory, relying on a
dynamically generated header is fragile, especially when a tool builds in
multiple stages, each of which may include unistd.h.

This series addresses the issue by adding a generated unistd_64.h
directly to the tools tree, ensuring the header is available from the
start and eliminating build failures due to header dependency.

This series has been tested with Arm64 cross-compilation and confirmed
that the BPF feature is enabled in perf.  It also verifies libperf
in-source builds with applying this series.
