Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 3/8] libbpf: Probe percpu data feature
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 21:24:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414132421.63409-4-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414132421.63409-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
libbpf needs a reliable way to distinguish kernels that can support
global percpu data from those that cannot.
Add a dedicated feature probe, so libbpf can make capability decisions
early and fail predictably when global percpu data is unavailable.
