Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/3] btf: allow mmap of vmlinux btf
Date: Sat, 10 May 2025 08:34:54 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250510-vmlinux-mmap-v4-1-69e424b2a672@isovalent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250510-vmlinux-mmap-v4-0-69e424b2a672@isovalent.com>
User space needs access to kernel BTF for many modern features of BPF.
Right now each process needs to read the BTF blob either in pieces or
as a whole. Allow mmaping the sysfs file so that processes can directly
access the memory allocated for it in the kernel.
remap_pfn_range is used instead of vm_insert_page due to aarch64
compatibility issues.
