1. There is one commit ("libbpf: fix btf_dedup equivalence check
handling of different kinds"), which was originally committed into bpf
tree and manually synced into libbpf (it was a critical bug fix). Now
that bpf and bpf-next trees were merged, this causes duplicate commits in
libbpf. To address this, check is added to see if libbpf repo already has
a commit with the same subject and allow to skip it.
2. Just checking by subject is not good enough, as we currently have few
different commits with the same subject "bpf: Sync bpf.h to tools/".
To address this, script now will ask user whether to skip or cherry-pick
commit. This allows for human to double-check the commit and make
informed devision.
3. There is a commit ('bfb35c27c65f bpf: fix whitespace for ENCAP_L2
defines in bpf.h'), which modifies both include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and
tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in the same commit. This break the
sync script, as it doesn't cherry-pick commits that hasn't modified
libbpf files. So at the time that commit bfb35c27c65f is applied, linux
repo is missing some preceding changes to include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. They
would normally be ignored later during repo filtering, but to do
cherry-pick they are necessary. It's hard to fix it automatically, so
script will wait for user to resolve the issue and continue.

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/if_xdp.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.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
