vpp编译外部依赖文件，libbpf

This is a mirror of [bpf-next Linux source tree](https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next)'s `tools/lib/bpf` directory plus its supporting header files. All the gory details of syncing can be found in `scripts/sync-kernel.sh` script. Some header files in this repo (`include/linux/*.h`) are reduced versions of their counterpart files at [bpf-next](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/)'s `tools/include/linux/*.h` to make compilation successful. BPF questions ============= All general BPF questions, including kernel functionality, libbpf APIs and their application, should be sent to bpf@vger.kernel.org mailing list. You can subscribe to it [here](http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#bpf) and search its archive [here](https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/). Please search the archive before asking new questions. It very well might be that this was already addressed or answered before. bpf@vger.kernel.org is monitored by many more people and they will happily try to help you with whatever issue you have. This repository's PRs and issues should be opened only for dealing with issues pertaining to specific way this libbpf mirror repo is set up and organized. Build [](https://travis-ci.com/github/libbpf/libbpf) [](https://lgtm.com/projects/g/libbpf/libbpf/alerts/) [](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/libbpf) ===== 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: ```bash $ 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/: ```bash $ 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/: ```bash $ cd src $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build/root/lib64/pkgconfig DESTDIR=/build/root make install ``` Distributions ============= Distributions packaging libbpf from this mirror: - [Fedora](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libbpf) - [Gentoo](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-libs/libbpf) - [Debian](https://packages.debian.org/sid/libbpf-dev) - [Arch](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libbpf/) - [Ubuntu](https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/groovy/libbpf) Benefits of packaging from the mirror over packaging from kernel sources: - Consistent versioning across distributions. - No ties to any specific kernel, transparent handling of older kernels. Libbpf is designed to be kernel-agnostic and work across multitude of kernel versions. It has built-in mechanisms to gracefully handle older kernels, that are missing some of the features, by working around or gracefully degrading functionality. Thus libbpf is not tied to a specific kernel version and can/should be packaged and versioned independently. - Continuous integration testing via [TravisCI](https://travis-ci.org/libbpf/libbpf). - Static code analysis via [LGTM](https://lgtm.com/projects/g/libbpf/libbpf) and [Coverity](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/libbpf). Package dependencies of libbpf, package names may vary across distros: - zlib - libelf BPF CO-RE (Compile Once – Run Everywhere) ========================================= Libbpf supports building BPF CO-RE-enabled applications, which, in contrast to [BCC](https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/), do not require Clang/LLVM runtime being deployed to target servers and doesn't rely on kernel-devel headers being available. It does rely on kernel to be built with [BTF type information](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/bpf/btf.html), though. Some major Linux distributions come with kernel BTF already built in: - Fedora 31+ - RHEL 8.2+ - OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (in the next release, as of 2020-06-04) - Arch Linux (from kernel 5.7.1.arch1-1) - Ubuntu 20.10 If your kernel doesn't come with BTF built-in, you'll need to build custom kernel. You'll need: - `pahole` 1.16+ tool (part of `dwarves` package), which performs DWARF to BTF conversion; - kernel built with `CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y` option; - you can check if your kernel has BTF built-in by looking for `/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux` file: ```shell $ ls -la /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux -r--r--r--. 1 root root 3541561 Jun 2 18:16 /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux ``` To develop and build BPF programs, you'll need Clang/LLVM 10+. The following distributions have Clang/LLVM 10+ packaged by default: - Fedora 32+ - Ubuntu 20.04+ - Arch Linux - Ubuntu 20.10 (LLVM 11) Otherwise, please make sure to update it on your system. The following resources are useful to understand what BPF CO-RE is and how to use it: - [BPF Portability and CO-RE](https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/bpf/blog/2020/02/19/bpf-portability-and-co-re.html) - [HOWTO: BCC to libbpf conversion](https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/bpf/blog/2020/02/20/bcc-to-libbpf-howto-guide.html) - [libbpf-tools in BCC repo](https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/tree/master/libbpf-tools) contain lots of real-world tools converted from BCC to BPF CO-RE. Consider converting some more to both contribute to the BPF community and gain some more experience with it.
