bpftool: Use syscall/loader program in "prog load" and "gen skeleton" command.
Add -L flag to bpftool to use libbpf gen_trace facility and syscall/loader program for skeleton generation and program loading. "bpftool gen skeleton -L" command will generate a "light skeleton" or "loader skeleton" that is similar to existing skeleton, but has one major difference: $ bpftool gen skeleton lsm.o > lsm.skel.h $ bpftool gen skeleton -L lsm.o > lsm.lskel.h $ diff lsm.skel.h lsm.lskel.h @@ -5,34 +4,34 @@ #define __LSM_SKEL_H__ #include <stdlib.h> -#include <bpf/libbpf.h> +#include <bpf/bpf.h> The light skeleton does not use majority of libbpf infrastructure. It doesn't need libelf. It doesn't parse .o file. It only needs few sys_bpf wrappers. All of them are in bpf/bpf.h file. In future libbpf/bpf.c can be inlined into bpf.h, so not even libbpf.a would be needed to work with light skeleton. "bpftool prog load -L file.o" command is introduced for debugging of syscall/loader program generation. Just like the same command without -L it will try to load the programs from file.o into the kernel. It won't even try to pin them. "bpftool prog load -L -d file.o" command will provide additional debug messages on how syscall/loader program was generated. Also the execution of syscall/loader program will use bpf_trace_printk() for each step of loading BTF, creating maps, and loading programs. The user can do "cat /.../trace_pipe" for further debug.
