I fixed the undefined bpf_counter__destroy. But this one looks trickier:

19: 'import perf' in python                                         :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 2714986
python usage test: "echo "import sys ; sys.path.append('python'); import perf" | '/bin/python2' "
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: XXXXX /tools/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: bpf_map_update_elem

Given I already have:

diff --git i/tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources w/tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
index a9d9c142eb7c3..2cac55273eca2 100644

 util/units.c

+../lib/bpf/libbpf.c


How should I fix this? 

Thanks,
Song

PS: I still cannot reproduce that segfault...
