Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch set implements libbpf support for a second kind of special externs, kernel symbols, in addition to existing Kconfig externs. Right now, only untyped (const void) externs are supported, which, in C language, allow only to take their address. In the future, with kernel BTF getting type info about its own global and per-cpu variables, libbpf will extend this support with BTF type info, which will allow to also directly access variable's contents and follow its internal pointers, similarly to how it's possible today in fentry/fexit programs. As a first practical use of this functionality, bpftool gained ability to show PIDs of processes that have open file descriptors for BPF map/program/link/BTF object. It relies on iter/task_file BPF iterator program to extract this information efficiently. There was a bunch of bpftool refactoring (especially Makefile) necessary to generalize bpftool's internal BPF program use. This includes generalization of BPF skeletons support, addition of a vmlinux.h generation, extracting and building minimal subset of bpftool for bootstrapping. v2->v3: - fix sec_btf_id check (Hao); v1->v2: - docs fixes (Quentin); - dual GPL/BSD license for pid_inter.bpf.c (Quentin); - NULL-init kcfg_data (Hao Luo); rfc->v1: - show pids, if supported by kernel, always (Alexei); - switched iter output to binary to support showing process names; - update man pages; - fix few minor bugs in libbpf w.r.t. extern iteration. ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
