Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: don't fail when feature probing fails
Date: Tue, 14 May 2019 20:38:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190515033849.62059-1-sdf@google.com> (raw)

Otherwise libbpf is unusable from unprivileged process with
kernel.kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1.
All I get is EPERM from the probes, even if I just want to
open an ELF object and look at what progs/maps it has.

Instead of dying on probes, let's just pr_debug the error and
try to continue.
