![]() Ingo reported that he was seeing these when hitting Control+C during a perf tools build: Makefile.perf:1149: *** Missing bpftool input for generating vmlinux.h. Stop. The failure happens when you don't have vmlinux.h or vmlinux with BTF. ifeq ($(VMLINUX_H),) ifeq ($(VMLINUX_BTF),) $(error Missing bpftool input for generating vmlinux.h) endif endif VMLINUX_BTF can be empty if you didn't build a kernel or it doesn't have a BTF section and the current kernel also has no BTF. This is totally ok. But VMLINUX_H should be set to the minimal version in the source tree (unless you overwrite it manually) when you don't pass GEN_VMLINUX_H=1 (which requires VMLINUX_BTF should not be empty). The problem is that it's defined in Makefile.config which is not included for `make clean`.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
