Look on includes from
tools/lib/bpf/libpf.c
tools/lib/bpf/bpf.c

That's how it's done... Copping headers to arch/arm will not
solve this, it includes both of them anyway, and anyway it needs
asm/unistd.h inclusion here, only because xsk.c needs __NR_*

Yes I know, it's far away from real number of changes needed.
I faced enough about this already and kernel headers, especially
for arm32 it's a bit decency problem. But this patch it's part of
normal one. I have couple issues despite this normally fixed mmap2
that is the same even if uapi includes are coppied to tools/arch/arm.

In continuation of kernel headers inclusion and arm build:

For instance, what about this rough "kernel headers" hack:
https://github.com/ikhorn/af_xdp_stuff/commit/aa645ccca4d844f404ec3c2b27402d4d7848d1b5

or this one related for arm32 only:
https://github.com/ikhorn/af_xdp_stuff/commit/2c6c6d538605aac39600dcb3c9b66de11c70b963

I have more...
