So for strlcpy we have in tools/perf/util/cache.h:
#ifndef __UCLIBC__
/* Matches the libc/libbsd function attribute so we declare this
* unconditionally: */
extern size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size);
#endif
I.e. have the ifdef just in the header file.
This way, if we end up needing to use sched_getcpu elsewhere, it will
work and the needed #ifdef will be constrained to the header file.
At some point we should try to move these functions to some
libc-compat.c file and move it to somewhere in tools/lib/.
