Bummer, I haven't noticed this because my fedora:rawhide perf build test
container wasn't building the jvmti code:

Makefile.config:925: No openjdk development package found, please install JDK package, e.g. openjdk-8-jdk, java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

i.e.:

[perfbuilder@c0326e8b6511 perf]$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-jvmti.make.output
test-jvmti.c:2:10: fatal error: jvmti.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <jvmti.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
[perfbuilder@c0326e8b6511 perf]$

Installing it I get:

[root@2d7fe307ad20 perf]# rpm -qa | grep openjdk
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.212.b04-4.fc31.x86_64
java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.212.b04-4.fc31.x86_64
java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.212.b04-4.fc31.x86_64
[root@2d7fe307ad20 perf]# cat
/tmp/build/perf/feature/test-jvmti.make.output
[root@2d7fe307ad20 perf]# ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-jvmti.bin
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 21592 Jun 12 20:48
/tmp/build/perf/feature/test-jvmti.bin
[root@2d7fe307ad20 perf]#

And reproduce the problem you reported:

jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:48:21: error: static declaration of ‘gettid’ follows
non-static declaration
48 | static inline pid_t gettid(void)
| ^~~~~~
In file included from /usr/include/unistd.h:1170,
from jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:33:

So, we'll have to have a feature test, that defines some HAVE_GETTID
that then ifdefs out our inline copy, working on it.

Thanks for the report!
