Magnus Karlsson 8e80367637 libbpf: Fix compatibility for kernels without need_wakeup
When the need_wakeup flag was added to AF_XDP, the format of the
XDP_MMAP_OFFSETS getsockopt was extended. Code was added to the
kernel to take care of compatibility issues arrising from running
applications using any of the two formats. However, libbpf was
not extended to take care of the case when the application/libbpf
uses the new format but the kernel only supports the old
format. This patch adds support in libbpf for parsing the old
format, before the need_wakeup flag was added, and emulating a
set of static need_wakeup flags that will always work for the
application.

v2 -> v3:
* Incorporated code improvements suggested by Jonathan Lemon

v1 -> v2:
* Rebased to bpf-next
* Rewrote the code as the previous version made you blind

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

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
