Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] Add table of BPF program types to libbpf docs
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2022 23:10:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220824221018.24684-3-donald.hunter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220824221018.24684-1-donald.hunter@gmail.com>
Extend the libbpf documentation with a table of program types,
attach points and ELF section names. This table uses data from
program_types.csv which is generated from tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c
during the documentation build.

+Program Types and ELF Sections
+===============================
+
+The table below lists the program types, their attach types where relevant and the ELF section
+names supported by libbpf for them. The ELF section names follow these rules:
+
+- ``type`` is an exact match, e.g. ``SEC("socket")``
+- ``type+`` means it can be either exact ``SEC("type")`` or well-formed ``SEC("type/extras")``
+ with a ‘``/``’ separator, e.g. ``SEC("tracepoint/syscalls/sys_enter_open")``
