2019-01-10	selftests/bpf: add missing executables to .gitignore	Stanislav Fomichev	1	-0/+1
	We build test_libbpf with CXX to make sure linking against C++ works. $ make -s -C tools/lib/bpf $ git status -sb ? tools/lib/bpf/test_libbpf $ make -s -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf $ git status -sb ? tools/lib/bpf/test_libbpf ? tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_libbpf Fixes: 8c4905b995c6 ("libbpf: make sure bpf headers are c++ include-able") Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@google.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
2015-11-05	tools lib bpf: Change FEATURE-DUMP to FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf	Yunlong Song	1	-1/+1
	Commit ed63f34c026e9a60d17fa750ecdfe3f600d49393 ("perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf") triggers the build of libbpf when building the perf tools, dynamically creating FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf. It failed to update the tools/lib/bpf/.gitignore file to have that prefix, fix it.

2015-08-07	bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check	Wang Nan	1	-0/+2
	This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates 'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories. Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent. Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found, the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure 'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found. Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr' (bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature, which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel. To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced 'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added into libbpf's specific.
