Description
While developing eBPF code in C, Visual Studio Code cannot detect some header files. For example, in tcpconnect.c, the vscode editor shows some include path errors.
```cpp
#include
#include
#include
```
I get "#include errors detected. Please update your includePath."
How would I properly update my `.vscode/c_cpp_properties/` includePath to incorporate the correct headers?
I have tried
```json
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Linux",
"includePath": [
"${workspaceFolder}/**"
"/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.0-69-generic/include"
],
"defines": [],
"compilerPath": "/usr/bin/gcc",
"cStandard": "c17",
"cppStandard": "gnu++14",
"intelliSenseMode": "linux-gcc-x64",
}
],
"version": 4
}
```
This solves the first header "" but I still get errors for the next two.
```c
#include // cannot open source file "asm/bug.h" (dependency of "net/sock.h")C/C++(1696)
#include // cannot open source file "bcc/proto.h"C/C++(1696)
```
How do I properly configure my vscode settings to help make developing eBPF code / C code easier?

Research direction
Start with tcpconnect.c and the .vscode/c_cpp_properties/ configuration shown in the report. Check how the includePath handles uapi/linux/ptrace.h, net/sock.h, asm/bug.h, and bcc/proto.h, then verify the configuration against the repository's header layout and the reported Linux headers. Done means the listed includes no longer produce VS Code diagnostics.
