Humm, trying to test:

So I go and try to remove that <linux/bpf.h>:

-e, --event <event> event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[root@quaco ~]#

It is not even finding it, in this machine I have libbpf 0.7.0, so there
is a /usr/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h, but probably that isn't in the
include path set up to build the tools/perf/examples/bpf/ files, perhaps
it should use:

-Itools/lib/ so that it gets tools/lib/bpf_helpers.h?

Trying to get this tested...
