[PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: fix faccessat() usage on Android

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Android implementation of libc errors out with -EINVAL in faccessat() if
passed AT_EACCESS ([0]), this leads to ridiculous issue with libbpf
refusing to load /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux on Androids ([1]). Fix by
detecting Android and redefining AT_EACCESS to 0, it's equivalent on
Android.
