Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== BPF token support in libbpf's BPF object Add fuller support for BPF token in high-level BPF object APIs. This is the most frequently used way to work with BPF using libbpf, so supporting BPF token there is critical. Patch #1 is improving kernel-side BPF_TOKEN_CREATE behavior by rejecting to create "empty" BPF token with no delegation. This seems like saner behavior which also makes libbpf's caching better overall. If we ever want to create BPF token with no delegate_xxx options set on BPF FS, we can use a new flag to enable that. Patches #2-#5 refactor libbpf internals, mostly feature detection code, to prepare it from BPF token FD. Patch #6 adds options to pass BPF token into BPF object open options. It also adds implicit BPF token creation logic to BPF object load step, even without any explicit involvement of the user. If the environment is setup properly, BPF token will be created transparently and used implicitly. This allows for all existing application to gain BPF token support by just linking with latest version of libbpf library. No source code modifications are required. All that under assumption that privileged container management agent properly set up default BPF FS instance at /sys/bpf/fs to allow BPF token creation. Patches #7-#8 adds more selftests, validating BPF object APIs work as expected under unprivileged user namespaced conditions in the presence of BPF token. Patch #9 extends libbpf with LIBBPF_BPF_TOKEN_PATH envvar knowledge, which can be used to override custom BPF FS location used for implicit BPF token creation logic without needing to adjust application code. This allows admins or container managers to mount BPF token-enabled BPF FS at non-standard location without the need to coordinate with applications. LIBBPF_BPF_TOKEN_PATH can also be used to disable BPF token implicit creation by setting it to an empty value. Patch #10 tests this new envvar functionality. v2->v3: - move some stray feature cache refactorings into patch #4 (Alexei); - add LIBBPF_BPF_TOKEN_PATH envvar support (Alexei); v1->v2: - remove minor code redundancies (Eduard, John); - add acks and rebase. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231213190842.3844987-1-andrii@kernel.org 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.
