8f7704d0321a71c1691837a6bd3b4e05f84d3031 build: improve detection of eBPF support (fanquake) Pull request description: Just checking for the `sys/sdt.h` header isn't enough, as systems like macOS have the header, but it doesn't actually have the `DTRACE_PROBE*` probes, which leads to [compile failures](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22006#issuecomment-859559004). The contents of `sys/sdt.h` in the macOS SDK is: ```bash #ifndef _SYS_SDT_H #define _SYS_SDT_H /* * This is a wrapper header that wraps the mach visible sdt.h header so that * the header file ends up visible where software expects it to be. We also * do the C/C++ symbol wrapping here, since Mach headers are technically C * interfaces. * * Note: The process of adding USDT probes to code is slightly different * than documented in the "Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide". * The DTRACE_PROBE*() macros are not supported on Mac OS X -- instead see * "BUILDING CODE CONTAINING USDT PROBES" in the dtrace(1) manpage * */ #include <sys/cdefs.h> __BEGIN_DECLS #include <mach/sdt.h> __END_DECLS #endif /* _SYS_SDT_H */ ``` The `BUILDING CODE CONTAINING USDT PROBES` section from the dtrace manpage is available [here](https://gist.github.com/fanquake/e56c9866d53b326646d04ab43a8df9e2), and outlines the more involved process of using USDT probes on macOS.

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
