libbpf depends upon linux/err.h which has a linux/compiler.h
dependency. In the kernel includes, as opposed to the tools version,
linux/compiler.h includes linux/compiler_attributes.h which defines
__printf. As the libbpf.c __printf definition isn't guarded by an
ifndef, this leads to a duplicate definition compilation error when
trying to update the tools/include/linux/compiler.h. Fix this by
adding the missing ifndef.

styling nit: don't add spaces between # and define, please

overall LGTM

Two questions, though.

1. It seems like just dropping #define __printf in libbpf.c compiles
fine (I checked both building libbpf directly, and BPF selftest, and
perf, and bpftool directly, all of them built fine). So we can
probably just drop this. I'll need to add __printf on Github, but
that's fine.

2. Logistics. Which tree should this patch go through? Can I land it
in bpf-next or it's too much inconvenience for you?

Thanks Andrii,

dropping the #define (1) sgtm but the current compiler.h will fail to
build libbpf.c without the later compiler.h update in this series.
This causes another logistic issue for your point 2. Presumably if
this patch goes through bpf-next, the first patch "tools bpf:
Synchronize bpf.h with kernel uapi version" should also go through the
bpf-next.

Thanks,
Ian

That's what I'm saying, it seems to work without your patches already.
At least on bpf-next/master. But it's ok, let's keep it and just add
#ifndef guard, that will make my life easier when syncing to Github
later one. Then the patch can go through other trees and eventually
make it into bpf-next and then Github. So please keep my ack for
#ifndef version, thanks.
