In order to libbpf to be used in systemd some testing is required, see related discussions in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/12151 and https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/pull/29 The tests introduced here mirrors the tests of systemd: For Debian: build with gcc, gcc + asan, clang, clang + asan Debian tests use `docker` virtualization Fror Ubuntu Xenial: build with gcc The differences: Install only libelf and it's dependencies. Instead of Meson build system `make` is used, so `make` remains the preferred method of building and `meson.build` doesn't get rooted in `libbpf`. `travis_wait.bash` is kept as a workaround for https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/9979 An example of testing UI: https://travis-ci.org/wat-ze-hex/libbpf
This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree
(https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next)
bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf directory plus its supporting header files.
The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo:
src/ <-> bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/
include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h
include/uapi/linux/bpf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
include/uapi/linux/btf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.h
include/uapi/linux/if_link.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h

include/uapi/linux/netlink.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h
include/tools/libc_compat.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h
Other header files at this repo (include/linux/*.h) are reduced versions of
their counterpart files at bpf-next/tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation
successful.
Build
=====
libelf is an internal dependency of libbpf and thus it is required to link
against and must be installed on the system for applications to work.
pkg-config is used by default to find libelf, and the program called can be
overridden with PKG_CONFIG.
If using pkg-config at build time is not desired, it can be disabled by setting
NO_PKG_CONFIG=1 when calling make.
To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so:
cd src
make
To build only static libbpf.a library in directory
build/ and install them together with libbpf headers in a staging directory
root/:
cd src
mkdir build root
BUILD_STATIC_ONLY=y OBJDIR=build DESTDIR=root make install
To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so against a custom libelf
dependency installed in /build/root/ and install them together with libbpf
headers in a build directory /build/root/:
cd src
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build/root/lib64/pkgconfig DESTDIR=/build/root make install
To integrate libbpf into a project which uses Meson building system define
[wrap-git] file in `subprojects` folder.
To add libbpf dependency to the parent parent project, e.g. for
libbpf_static_dep:
libbpf_obj = subproject('libbpf', required : true)
libbpf_static_dep = libbpf_proj.get_variable('libbpf_static_dep')
To validate changes to meson.build
python3 meson.py build
ninja -C build/
To install headers, libs and pkgconfig
cd build
ninja install
