Andrey Ignatov 8b20ffa4b9 libbpf: Introduce bpf_prog_attach_xattr
Introduce a new bpf_prog_attach_xattr function that, in addition to
program fd, target fd and attach type, accepts an extendable struct
bpf_prog_attach_opts.

bpf_prog_attach_opts relies on DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS macro to maintain
backward and forward compatibility and has the following "optional"
attach attributes:

* existing attach_flags, since it's not required when attaching in NONE
  mode. Even though it's quite often used in MULTI and OVERRIDE mode it
  seems to be a good idea to reduce number of arguments to
  bpf_prog_attach_xattr;

* newly introduced attribute of BPF_PROG_ATTACH command: replace_prog_fd
  that is fd of previously attached cgroup-bpf program to replace if
  BPF_F_REPLACE flag is used.

The new function is named to be consistent with other xattr-functions
(bpf_prog_test_run_xattr, bpf_create_map_xattr, bpf_load_program_xattr).

The struct bpf_prog_attach_opts is supposed to be used with
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS macro.

This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree's 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's tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation successful.

Build Build Status Total alerts Coverity

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
