Compiling eBPF program in Docker fails due to missing '__u64' type

$

I'm trying to compile an eBPF program inside a Docker container based on an ARM64 Ubuntu 20.04 image. I'm encountering a compilation error where the clang compiler cannot find the definition for the __u64 type, which should be provided by the kernel headers. Here's the error I'm getting:

/usr/include/bpf/bpf_helper_defs.h:78:90: error: unknown type name '__u64'static long (* const bpf_map_update_elem)(void *map, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags) = (void *) 2;                                                                                          ^

I've installed the linux-headers-${KERNEL_VERSION} package and set up the include paths for clang as follows:

RUN clang -O2 -target bpf \    -I/usr/src/linux-headers-${KERNEL_VERSION}/include \    -I/usr/src/linux-headers-${KERNEL_VERSION}/include/uapi \    -I/usr/src/linux-headers-${KERNEL_VERSION}/arch/arm64/include \    -I/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu \    -I/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/asm \    -I/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/asm-generic \    -I/usr/include/bpf \    -c ebpf_program.c -o ebpf_program.o

I've also created symbolic links to ensure that the asm and asm-generic directories are correctly referenced:

RUN ln -s /usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/asm /usr/include/asmRUN ln -s /usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/asm-generic /usr/include/asm-generic

The clang compiler still cannot find the asm/types.h file. I've verified that the file exists and is accessible in the container. Here's the output when I SSH into the container:

root@container:/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/asm# cat types.h #include <asm-generic/types.h>

Here is my full Dockerfile:

I'm stuck and not sure what else I can do to resolve this issue. Has anyone encountered a similar problem, or can you provide guidance on what might be going wrong?
