To build this program successfully with clang, there have three
compiler options need to be specified:

  - Header file path: tools/perf/include/bpf;
  - Specify architecture;
  - Define macro __NR_CPUS__.

This patch add comments to explain the reasons for building failure and
give two examples for llvm.clang-opt variable, one is for x86_64
architecture and another is for aarch64 architecture.

I missed the up operation.  But after git pulled the lastest code base
from perf/core branch and used the command 'make -C tools/perf
install', I still saw the eBPF build failure.

Just now this issue is fixed after I removed the config
'clang-bpf-cmd-template' from ~/.perfconfig;  the reason is I followed
up the Documentation/perf-config.txt to set the config as below:

  clang-bpf-cmd-template = "$CLANG_EXEC -D__KERNEL__ $CLANG_OPTIONS \
                          $KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS -Wno-unused-value \
                          -Wno-pointer-sign -working-directory \
                          $WORKING_DIR -c $CLANG_SOURCE -target bpf \
                          -O2 -o -"

In fact, util/llvm-utils.c has updated the default configuration as
below:

  #define CLANG_BPF_CMD_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE                          \
                "$CLANG_EXEC -D__KERNEL__ -D__NR_CPUS__=$NR_CPUS "\
                "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=$LINUX_VERSION_CODE "     \
                "$CLANG_OPTIONS $PERF_BPF_INC_OPTIONS $KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS " \
                "-Wno-unused-value -Wno-pointer-sign "          \
                "-working-directory $WORKING_DIR "              \
                "-c \"$CLANG_SOURCE\" -target bpf $CLANG_EMIT_LLVM -O2 -o - $LLVM_OPTIONS_PIPE"

Maybe should update Documentation/perf-config.txt to tell users the
real default value of clang-bpf-cmd-template?

Thanks,

Thanks for guidance.  Have sent patch for this [1].
