Subject: Re: [PATCH] libbpf: fix samples/bpf build failure due to undefined UINT32_MAX

Oh, I've found what's the problem.
About the files you've mentioned, nothing seems to matter on my system.
But the problem is the order of the '-I' option matters.

    user@...t:~/linux/samples/bpf $ make -n

    gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d -Wall
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
        -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./usr/include
-I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
        -I./tools/  lib/ -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -c -o
./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;
    ...
    user@...t:~/linux $ gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d
-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
        -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./usr/include
-I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
        -I./tools/  lib/ -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -c -o
./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;

    ./tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:95:27: error: ‘UINT32_MAX’ undeclared here
(not in a function); ...
    #define BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE (UINT32_MAX >> 8) /* verifier maximum in
kernels <= 5.1 */
                              ^
    ./samples/bpf/bpf_load.h:31:25: note: in expansion of macro
‘BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE’
    extern char bpf_log_buf[BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE];
                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you can see the dry make command in my system, the '-I./usr/include'
option precedes than '-I./tools/include'. And in this situation, it
gives an error.
But when I switch these two options order, it runs successfully like below.

    user@...t:~/linux $ gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d
-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
        -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./tools/include
-I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
        -I./tools/  lib/ -I./usr/include -I./tools/perf -c -o
./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;

    // command runs successfully.

Looks like when the '-I./usr/include' option precedes, it looks up for
./usr/include/linux/types.h. But when '-I./tools/include' comes up earlier,
./tools/include/linux/types.h header is used with compilation.

Since these two <linux/types.h> headers are quite different, it causes an error.
I'm not sure but perhaps the version difference of GNU Make is causing the
inconsistency of the option order. (v4.1 on my system)

I'm wondering which might be the best ways to handle this problem?
(Maybe adding a Make implicit rule for the option order?)
