Hello Michael,
The latest version of this patch addressed all feedback I'm aware of when submitted last September, and I've seen no further comments from reviewers since then.
Could you please let me know where this stands and if anything further is needed?
Sorry, it's still sitting in my inbox :/
I was going to reply to suggest we split the tools change out. The headers under tools are usually updated by another maintainer, I think it might even be scripted.
Anyway I've applied your patch and done that (dropped the change to tools/.../errno.h), which should also mean the stable backport is more likely to work automatically.
It will hit mainline in v5.13-rc1 and then be backported to the stable trees.
I don't think you actually need the tools version of the header updated to fix your bug? In which case we can probably just wait for it to be updated automatically when the tools headers are sync'ed with the kernel versions.
cheers

A few archs like powerpc have different errno.h values for macros EDEADLOCK and EDEADLK. In code including both libc and linux versions of errno.h, this can result in multiple definitions of EDEADLOCK in the include chain. Definitions to the same value (e.g. seen with mips) do not raise warnings, but on powerpc there are redefinitions changing the value, which raise warnings and errors (if using "-Werror").
Guard against these redefinitions to avoid build errors like the following, first seen cross-compiling libbpf v5.8.9 for powerpc using GCC 8.4.0 with musl 1.1.24:
In file included from ../../arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/errno.h:5, from ../../include/linux/err.h:8, from libbpf.c:29: ../../include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h:40: error: "EDEADLOCK" redefined [-Werror] #define EDEADLOCK EDEADLK
In file included from toolchain-powerpc_8540_gcc-8.4.0_musl/include/errno.h:10, from libbpf.c:26: toolchain-powerpc_8540_gcc-8.4.0_musl/include/bits/errno.h:58: note: this is the location of the previous definition #define EDEADLOCK 58
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

v1 -> v2:
- clean up commit description formatting
v2 -> v3: (per Michael Ellerman)
- drop indeterminate 'Fixes' tags, request stable backports instead
