Blob Blame History Raw
bcc included in RHEL 8.6 doesn't support the kernel_struct_has_field function.
The 4.18.x kernel in RHEL 8.6 did backport the `state` to `__state` rename (upstream:
change was in kernel v5.14+), and now we're in a situation where we can't test for
the existence of this kernel struct member and also can't rely on a kernel version check.

Therefore, let's patch it here for RHEL 8.x only:
