libbpf: fix samples/bpf build failure due to undefined UINT32_MAX

Currently, building bpf samples will cause the following error.

    ./tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h:132:27: error: 'UINT32_MAX' undeclared here (not in a function) ..
     #define BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE (UINT32_MAX >> 8) /* verifier maximum in kernels <= 5.1 */
                               ^
    ./samples/bpf/bpf_load.h:31:25: note: in expansion of macro 'BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE'
     extern char bpf_log_buf[BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE];
                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Due to commit 4519efa6f8ea ("libbpf: fix BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE off-by-one error")
hard-coded size of BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE has been replaced with UINT32_MAX which is
defined in <stdint.h> header.

Even with this change, bpf selftests are running fine since these are built
with clang and it includes header(-idirafter) from clang/6.0.0/include.
(it has <stdint.h>)

    clang -I. -I./include/uapi -I../../../include/uapi -idirafter /usr/local/include -idirafter /usr/include \
    -idirafter /usr/lib/llvm-6.0/lib/clang/6.0.0/include -idirafter /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu \
    -Wno-compare-distinct-pointer-types -O2 -target bpf -emit-llvm -c progs/test_sysctl_prog.c -o - | \
    llc -march=bpf -mcpu=generic  -filetype=obj -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.o

But bpf samples are compiled with GCC, and it only searches and includes
headers declared at the target file. As '#include <stdint.h>' hasn't been
declared in tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h, it causes build failure of bpf samples.

    gcc -Wp,-MD,./samples/bpf/.sockex3_user.o.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
    -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=gnu89 -I./usr/include -I./tools/lib/ -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ \
    -I./tools/  lib/ -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -c -o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.o ./samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c;

This commit add declaration of '#include <stdint.h>' to tools/lib/bpf/bpf.h
to fix this problem.

This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree's tools/lib/bpf directory plus its supporting header files.

The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo:

  • src/ <-> bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/
  • include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h
  • include/uapi/linux/bpf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
  • include/uapi/linux/btf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.h
  • include/uapi/linux/if_link.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h
  • include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.h
  • include/uapi/linux/netlink.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h
  • include/tools/libc_compat.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h

Other header files at this repo (include/linux/*.h) are reduced versions of their counterpart files at bpf-next's tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation successful.

Build Build Status

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:

$ 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/:

$ 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/:

$ cd src
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build/root/lib64/pkgconfig DESTDIR=/build/root make install

To integrate libbpf into a project which uses Meson building system define [wrap-git] file in subprojects folder. To add libbpf dependency to the parent parent project, e.g. for libbpf_static_dep:

libbpf_obj = subproject('libbpf', required : true)
libbpf_static_dep = libbpf_proj.get_variable('libbpf_static_dep')

To validate changes to meson.build

$ python3 meson.py build
$ ninja -C build/

To install headers, libs and pkgconfig

$ cd build
$ ninja install
