2018-02-02	libbpf: add error reporting in XDP	Eric Leblond	1	-1/+1
	Parse netlink ext attribute to get the error message returned by the card. Code is partially take from libnl. We add netlink.h to the uapi include of tools. And we need to avoid include of userspace netlink header to have a successful build of sample so nlattr.h has a define to avoid the inclusion. Using a direct define could have been an issue as NLMSGERR_ATTR_MAX can change in the future. We also define SOL_NETLINK if not defined to avoid to have to copy socket.h for a fixed value.

2015-08-07	bpf tools: Add bpf.c/h for common bpf operations	Wang Nan	1	-1/+1
	This patch introduces bpf.c and bpf.h, which hold common functions issuing bpf syscall. The goal of these two files is to hide syscall completely from user. Note that bpf.c and bpf.h deal with kernel interface only. Things like structure of 'map' section in the ELF object is not cared by of bpf.[ch]. We first introduce bpf_create_map(). Note that, since functions in bpf.[ch] are wrapper of sys_bpf, they don't use OO style naming.

2015-08-07	bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check	Wang Nan	1	-0/+1
	This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates 'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories. Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent. Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found, the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure 'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found. Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr' (bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature, which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel. To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced 'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added into libbpf's specific.
