libbpf: Add setter for initial value for internal maps For internal maps (most notably the maps backing global variables), libbpf uses an internal mmaped area to store the data after opening the object. This data is subsequently copied into the kernel map when the object is loaded. This adds a function to set a new value for that data, which can be used to before it is loaded into the kernel. This is especially relevant for RODATA maps, since those are frozen on load.

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

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.
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
