When building BPF skels perf will, by default, install a minimalistic vmlinux.h file with the types needed by the BPF skels in tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/ in its build directory. When29d16de26d("perf augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf: Move 'struct timespec64' to vmlinux.h") was added, a type used in the augmented_raw_syscalls BPF skel, 'struct timespec64' was not found when building from a pre-existing build directory, because the vmlinux.h there didn't contain that type, ending up with this error, spotted in linux-next: CLANG /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.o util/bpf_skel/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c:329:15: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to an incomplete type 'struct timespec64' 329 | __u32 size = sizeof(struct timespec64); | ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/bpf_skel/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c:329:29: note: forward declaration of 'struct timespec64' 329 | __u32 size = sizeof(struct timespec64); | ^ util/bpf_skel/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c:350:15: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to an incomplete type 'struct timespec64' 350 | __u32 size = sizeof(struct timespec64); | ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/bpf_skel/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c:350:29: note: forward declaration of 'struct timespec64' 350 | __u32 size = sizeof(struct timespec64); | ^ 2 errors generated. make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:1158: /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:261: sub-make] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:113: install-bin] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf' So add a Makefile dependency (Namhyung's suggestion) to make sure that the new tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/vmlinux/vmlinux.h minimal vmlinux is updated in the build directory, providing the moved 'struct timespec64' type.

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.
