This is actually necessary on s390:

                 from test_verifier.c:29:
../../../include/uapi/../../arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/bpf_perf_event.h:7:9: error: unknown type name 'user_pt_regs'

         ^~~~~~~~~~~~
make: *** [../lib.mk:109: /root/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_verifier] Error 1


The s390 bpf_perf_event.h header file contains an #include for asm/ptrace.h
that defines the user_pt_regs (introduce with my patch set).  For building,
the ptrace.h header file from the tooling must be used, not the local
installed version.

Including the ptrace.h header file directly solves the issue.  Feel free to
merge below snippet into your patch.

Thanks and kind regards,
  Hendrik
