[PATCH bpf-next 0/6] libbpf: add support for kernel module BTF CO-RE relocations

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

 



Implement libbpf support for performing CO-RE relocations against types in
kernel module BTFs, in addition to existing vmlinux BTF support.

This is a first step towards fully supporting kernel module BTFs. Subsequent
patch sets will expand kernel and libbpf sides to allow using other
BTF-powered capabilities (fentry/fexit, struct_ops, ksym externs, etc). For
CO-RE relocations support, though, no extra kernel changes are necessary.

This patch set also sets up a convenient and fully-controlled custom kernel
module (called "bpf_sidecar"), that is a predictable playground for all the
BPF selftests, that rely on module BTFs.

Andrii Nakryiko (6):
  bpf: fix bpf_put_raw_tracepoint()'s use of __module_address()
  libbpf: add internal helper to load BTF data by FD
  libbpf: refactor CO-RE relocs to not assume a single BTF object
  libbpf: add kernel module BTF support for CO-RE relocations
  selftests/bpf: add bpf_sidecar kernel module for testing
  selftests/bpf: add CO-RE relocs selftest relying on kernel module BTF
