[PATCH bpf-next v13 2/8] libbpf: Add support for extended BPF syscall
From: Leon Hwang <hidden>
Date: 2026-05-11 15:29:22
Also in:
bpf, linux-kselftest, lkml
Subsystem:
bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [library] (libbpf), the rest · Maintainers:
Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds
To support the extended BPF syscall introduced in the previous commit, introduce the following internal APIs: * 'sys_bpf_ext()' * 'sys_bpf_ext_fd()' They wrap the raw 'syscall()' interface to support passing extended attributes. * 'probe_sys_bpf_ext()' Check whether current kernel supports the BPF syscall common attributes.
