This is probably worth a comment, reading it hurts :-) I expect that
libbpf provides a definition that the rest of the world uses.

Fwiw, the pre bpf counters BPF in perf needs a good overhaul. Arnaldo
mentioned switching perf trace's BPF to use BPF skeletons in another
post. The tests we have on event filters are flaky. One fewer bpf.h in
the world seems like a service to humanity (I'm looking at you
tools/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h).

Thanks,
Ian
