Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 3/9] libbpf: Probe percpu data feature
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 22:51:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608145113.65857-4-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260608145113.65857-1-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.
