Exception: Failed to compile BPF module

[Linuxuser4]

Hi,
I am trying to use bpfd with host as ubuntu (4.4.0-116) and target as android(arm64 linux version 4.4). For any utility I run, I get the error "Exception: Failed to compile BPF module "
More detailed log is below. Am I missing anything very obvious? autoconf.h will not be present as part of kernel source since all build generated files will be in 'out' directory created by android build environment. If I point to the generated 'out' directory, 'filetop' will complain that './include/linux/kconfig.h' file not found which is not in 'out' directory, but in the main kernel sources. How do I give path of both 'out' folder and kernel folder sources? Do I have to manually merge these and try out?

(bcc) root@hostname:$ filetop
In file included from :1:
././include/linux/kconfig.h:4:10: fatal error: 'generated/autoconf.h' file not found
#include <generated/autoconf.h>

Thanks for offering to look into this.
In the meantime, I thought of building the android kernel out of the android build environment to reduce dependency on android. I was able to build, albeit with large number of minor hacks.

When I now try filetop, I see "NameError: global name '_invalidate_map_cache' is not defined".
Last few statements from my log are:

./arch/arm64/include/asm/uaccess.h:341:34: note: expanded from macro '__put_user_err'
__put_user_asm("str", "sttr", "%", __pu_val, (ptr),

So first of all Android 4.4 won't even work since you need at least 4.9 kernel for the needed bpf support. I would suggest you try the androdeb project on the Android 4.9 kernel to get the easiest BCC setup experience. Tinyurl.com/androdeb
