Description
I am new to BPF and trying to run a simple hello_program as below.
```
#include
#define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
SEC("tracepoint/syscalls/sys_enter_execve")
int bpf_prog(void *ctx) {
char msg[] = "Hello, BPF World!";
bpf_trace_printk(msg, sizeof(msg));
return 0;
}
char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
```
Getting following error
```
clang -O2 -target bpf -c hello_world_kern.c -o hello_world_kern.o
hello_world_kern.c:1:10: fatal error: 'uapi/linux/bpf.h' file not found
#include
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
```
My linux version is

Research direction
Begin with hello_world_kern.c and the clang command shown; investigate why the uapi/linux/bpf.h include cannot be resolved in the stated Ubuntu 18.04 and kernel environment. Done means the example compiles successfully and the required header setup is identified.
