Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] rtla/tests: Test BPF action program
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:33:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027153401.1039217-5-tglozar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027153401.1039217-1-tglozar@redhat.com>
Add a test that implements a BPF program writing to a test map, which
is attached to RTLA via --bpf-action to be executed on theshold
overflow.
A combination of --on-threshold shell with bpftool (which is always
present if BPF support is enabled) is used to check whether the BPF
program has executed successfully.
