Public bug reported:
[Impact]
perf trace can work with BPF code and is able to use clang to build C code to
do it. Currently, it won't be able to build them as it requires some include
files that it looks at /usr/lib/perf/include/bpf/.
As this path is not dependent on the kernel version, shipping the latest
code would make sense as long as headers are backwards compatible.
Example code could be packaged on a versioned directory in a versioned
package.
[Test case]

[Potential regression]
We might ship incompatible code with the running kernel. It might break
building such examples.
Or we might break the old contens of the packages we are adding files to.
