Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 2/9] libbpf: Add support for extended bpf syscall
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 22:40:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260202144046.30651-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260202144046.30651-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
To support the extended BPF syscall introduced in the previous commit,
introduce the following internal APIs:
* 'sys_bpf_ext()'
* 'sys_bpf_ext_fd()'
They wrap the raw 'syscall()' interface to support passing extended
attributes.
* 'probe_sys_bpf_ext()'
Check whether current kernel supports the BPF syscall common attributes.
Signed-off-by: Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@linux.dev>
