Depending on used versions of libbpf, Clang, and kernel, it's possible to have valid BPF object files with valid BTF information, that still won't load successfully due to Clang emitting newer BTF features (e.g., BTF_KIND_FUNC, .BTF.ext's line_info/func_info, BTF_KIND_DATASEC, etc), that are not yet supported by older kernel. This patch adds detection of BTF features and sanitizes BPF object's BTF by substituting various supported BTF kinds, which have compatible layout: - BTF_KIND_FUNC -> BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF - BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO -> BTF_KIND_ENUM - BTF_KIND_VAR -> BTF_KIND_INT - BTF_KIND_DATASEC -> BTF_KIND_STRUCT Replacement is done in such a way as to preserve as much information as possible (names, sizes, etc) where possible without violating kernel's validation rules. v2->v3: - remove duplicate #defines from libbpf_util.h v1->v2: - add internal libbpf_internal.h w/ common stuff - switch SK storage BTF to use new libbpf__probe_raw_btf() Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
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.hinclude/uapi/linux/bpf.h<->bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.hinclude/uapi/linux/btf.h<->bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.hinclude/uapi/linux/if_link.h<->bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.hinclude/uapi/linux/if_xdp.h<->bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.hinclude/uapi/linux/netlink.h<->bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.hinclude/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 
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
