"Daniel T. Lee" says: ==================== To avoid confusion caused by the increasing fragmentation of the BPF Loader program, this commit would like to convert the previous bpf_load loader with the libbpf loader. Thanks to libbpf's bpf_link interface, managing the tracepoint BPF program is much easier. bpf_program__attach_tracepoint manages the enable of tracepoint event and attach of BPF programs to it with a single interface bpf_link, so there is no need to manage event_fd and prog_fd separately. And due to addition of generic bpf_program__attach() to libbpf, it is now possible to attach BPF programs with __attach() instead of explicitly calling __attach_<type>(). This patchset refactors xdp_monitor with using this libbpf API, and the bpf_load is removed and migrated to libbpf. Also, attach_tracepoint() is replaced with the generic __attach() method in xdp_redirect_cpu. Moreover, maps in kern program have been converted to BTF-defined map. --- Changes in v2: - added cleanup logic for bpf_link and bpf_object in xdp_monitor - program section match with bpf_program__is_<type> instead of strncmp - revert BTF key/val type to default of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY - split increment into seperate satement - refactor pointer array initialization - error code cleanup ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
