Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 1/3] btf: allow mmap of vmlinux btf
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 14:01:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250520-vmlinux-mmap-v5-1-e8c941acc414@isovalent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250520-vmlinux-mmap-v5-0-e8c941acc414@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.
