Subject: [RFC PATCH bpf-next v2 2/6] libbpf: Add support for extended bpf syscall
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:33:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911163328.93490-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911163328.93490-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
To support the extended 'bpf()' syscall introduced in the previous commit,
this patch adds the following APIs:
1. *Internal:*
* 'sys_bpf_extended()'
* 'sys_bpf_fd_extended()'
These wrap the raw 'syscall()' interface to support passing extended
attributes.
2. *Exported:*
* 'probe_sys_bpf_extended()'
This function checks whether the running kernel supports the extended
'bpf()' syscall with common attributes.
Signed-off-by: Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@linux.dev>
