Add fuller support for BPF token in high-level BPF object APIs. This is the
most frequently used way to work with BPF using libbpf, so supporting BPF
token there is critical.
Patch #1 is improving kernel-side BPF_TOKEN_CREATE behavior by rejecting to
create "empty" BPF token with no delegation. This seems like saner behavior
which also makes libbpf's caching better overall. If we ever want to create
BPF token with no delegate_xxx options set on BPF FS, we can use a new flag to
enable that.
Patches #2-#5 refactor libbpf internals, mostly feature detection code, to
prepare it from BPF token FD.
Patch #6 adds options to pass BPF token into BPF object open options. It also
adds implicit BPF token creation logic to BPF object load step, even without
any explicit involvement of the user. If the environment is setup properly,
BPF token will be created transparently and used implicitly. This allows for
all existing application to gain BPF token support by just linking with
latest version of libbpf library. No source code modifications are required.
All that under assumption that privileged container management agent properly
set up default BPF FS instance at /sys/bpf/fs to allow BPF token creation.
Patches #7-#8 adds more selftests, validating BPF object APIs work as expected
under unprivileged user namespaced conditions in the presence of BPF token.
v1->v2:
- remove minor code redundancies (Eduard, John);
- add acks and rebase.
Andrii Nakryiko (8):
bpf: fail BPF_TOKEN_CREATE if no delegation option was set on BPF FS
libbpf: split feature detectors definitions from cached results
libbpf: further decouple feature checking logic from bpf_object
libbpf: move feature detection code into its own file
libbpf: wire up token_fd into feature probing logic
libbpf: wire up BPF token support at BPF object level
selftests/bpf: add BPF object loading tests with explicit token
passing
selftests/bpf: add tests for BPF object load with implicit token
