Introduce probes for supported BPF program types in libbpf, and call it
from bpftool to test what types are available on the system. The probe
simply consists in loading a very basic program of that type and see if
the verifier complains or not.
Sample output:
# bpftool feature probe kernel
...
Scanning eBPF program types...
eBPF program_type socket_filter is available
eBPF program_type kprobe is available
eBPF program_type sched_cls is available
...
v5:
- In libbpf.map, move global symbol to a new LIBBPF_0.0.2 section.
- Rename (non-API function) prog_load() as probe_load().
v3:
- Get kernel version for checking kprobes availability from libbpf
instead of from bpftool. Do not pass kernel_version as an argument
when calling libbpf probes.
- Use a switch with all enum values for setting specific program
parameters just before probing, so that gcc complains at compile time
(-Wswitch-enum) if new prog types were added to the kernel but libbpf
was not updated.
- Add a comment in libbpf.h about setrlimit() usage to allow many
consecutive probe attempts.
v2:
- Move probes from bpftool to libbpf.
- Remove C-style macros output from this patch.
