- Update to release 0.8.0
* New features and APIs:
- support auto-resolution of binaries and shared libraries from PATH, if necessary;
- support attaching by function names (only by IP was supported before);
- support attaching to USDTs (SEC("usdt/...") and
bpf_program__attach_usdt()) with initially supported architectures:
x86-64 (amd64); x86 (i386); s390x; ARM64 (aarch64); RISC V (riscv);
- improved BPF verifier log reporting for CO-RE relocation failures (no
more obscure "invalid func unknown#195896080" errors);
- auto-adjust BPF ringbuf size according to host kernel's page size requirements;
- high-level BPF map APIs: bpf_map__lookup_elem(), bpf_map__update_elem(),
etc that validate key/value buffer sizes;
- bpf_link_create() can create all bpf_link-based (including raw_tp,
fentry/fexit, etc), falling back to bpf_raw_tracepoint_open() on old
kernels transparently;
- support opting out from auto-loading BPF programs declaratively with
SEC("?...");
- support opting out from auto-creation of declarative BPF maps with
bpf_map__set_autocreate();
- support multi-kprobes (SEC("kprobe.multi/...") and
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts());
- support target-less SEC() programs (e.g., SEC("kprobe"), SEC("tp"), etc);
- support BPF sub-skeletons for "incomplete" BPF object files (requires
matching bpftool to generate .subskel.h);
- BPF cookie support for fentry/fexit/fmod_ret BPF programs
(bpf_program__attach_trace_opts());
- support for custom SEC() handlers (libbpf_register_prog_handler()).
* BPF-side API
- BPF-side USDT APIs. See new usdt.bpf.h header:
* BPF_USDT() program wrapper macro; bpf_usdt_arg(), bpf_usdt_arg_cnt(),
* bpf_usdt_cookie() helpers;
- new bpf_core_field_offset() CO-RE helper and support
bpf_core_field_size(type, field) forms;
- barrier() and barrier_var() macros for improving BPF code generation;
- __kptr and __kptr_ref tags added;
- ARC architecture support in bpf_tracing.h header;
- new BPF helpers:
* bpf_skb_set_tstamp();
* bpf_ima_file_hash();
* bpf_kptr_xchg();
* bpf_map_lookup_percpu_elem().
* Bug fixes
- netlink bug fixes;
- libbpf.pc fixes to support patch releases properly;
- BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map auto-pinning fix;
- minor CO-RE fixes and improvements for some corner cases;
- various other small fixes and improvements.

- Update to 0.5.0:
+ New features and user-space APIs:
- libbpf_set_strict_mode() allowing to opt-in into backwards incompatible libbpf-1.0 changes. See "Libbpf: the road to 1.0" and "Libbpf 1.0 migration guide" for more details.
- streamlined error reporting for low-level APIs, high-level error-returning APIs, and pointer-returning APIs (as a libbpf-1.0 opt-in);
- "Light" BPF skeleton support;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL support;
- BPF perf link support for kprobe, uprobe, tracepoint, and perf_event BPF programs;
- BPF cookie support for kprobe, uprobe, tracepoint, and perf_event BPF programs through bpf_program__attach_[ku]probe_opts() APIs;
- allow to specify ref_ctr_off for USDT semaphores through bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts() API;
- btf_custom_path support in bpf_object_open_opts, allowing to specify custom BTF for CO-RE relocations;
- sk_reuseport/migrate program type support;
- btf_dump__dump_type_data() API, allowing to dump binary data according to BTF type description;
- btf__load_into_kernel() and btf__load_from_kernel_by_id(), and split BTF variants of them;
- btf__load_vmlinux_btf() and btf__load_module_btf() APIs;
- bpf_map__initial_value() API to get initial value of mmap-ed BPF maps;
- bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem_flags() API.
+ BPF-side APIs and features:
- support for weak typed __ksym externs;
- BPF timer helpers: bpf_timer_init(), bpf_timer_set_callback(), bpf_timer_start(), bpf_timer_cancel();
- bpf_get_attach_cookie() helper to get BPF cookie from BPF program side;
- bpf_get_func_ip() helper;
- bpf_sys_bpf() helper;
- bpf_task_pt_regs() helper;
- bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind() helper;
- usability improvements for bpf_tracing.h when target architecture is missing.
+ Bug fixes and compatibility improvements:
- improve BPF support detection on old Red Hat kernels with backported BPF patches;
- improvements for LTO builds with GCC 10+;
- pass NLM_F_EXCL when creating TC qdisc;
- better support of BPF map reuse on old kernels;
- fix the bug resulting in sometimes closing FD 0, which wasn't created and owned by libbpf itself.
- Remove patches merged upstream
+ libdir.patch
+ libbpf-Fix-build-with-latest-gcc-binutils-with-LTO.patch
