	perf_buffer "object" is part of libbpf API now, add it to the list of libbpf function prefixes. Suggested-by: Daniel Borkman <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Acked-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
2019-03-24	bpf, libbpf: clarify bump in libbpf version info	Daniel Borkmann	1	-0/+1
	The current documentation suggests that we would need to bump the libbpf version on every change. Lets clarify this a bit more and reflect what we do today in practice, that is, bumping it once per development cycle.

2019-02-25	libbpf: add support for using AF_XDP sockets	Magnus Karlsson	1	-1/+14
	This commit adds AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason for this is to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by offering higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the code from the sample application into their application, which is not desirable. The interface is composed of two parts: * Low-level access interface to the four rings and the packet * High-level control plane interface for creating and setting up umems and af_xdp sockets as well as a simple XDP program.

2019-01-07	bpf, doc: add note for libbpf's stand-alone build	Daniel Borkmann	1	-0/+14
	Given this came up couple of times, add a note to libbpf's readme about the semi-automated mirror for a stand-alone build which is officially managed by BPF folks. While at it, also explicitly state the libbpf license in the readme file.

2018-12-03	libbpf: Fix license in README.rst	Andrey Ignatov	1	-1/+1
	The whole libbpf is licensed as (LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause). I missed it while adding README.rst. Fix it and use same license as all other files in libbpf do. Since I'm the only author of README.rst so far, no others' permissions should be needed.

2018-11-26	libbpf: Document API and ABI conventions	Andrey Ignatov	1	-0/+139
	Document API and ABI for libbpf: naming convention, symbol visibility, ABI versioning. This is just a starting point. Documentation can be significantly extended in the future to cover more topics. ABI versioning section touches only a few basic points with a link to more comprehensive documentation from Ulrich Drepper. This section can be extended in the future when there is better understanding what works well and what not so well in libbpf development process and production usage.
