Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: fix faccessat() usage on Android
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2024 14:09:44 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240126220944.2497665-1-andrii@kernel.org> (raw)

Android implementation of libc errors out with -EINVAL in faccessat() if
passed AT_EACCESS ([0]), this leads to ridiculous issue with libbpf
refusing to load /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux on Androids ([1]). Fix by
detecting Android and redefining AT_EACCESS to 0, it's equivalent on
Android.
