eBPF is a pure Go library that provides utilities for loading, compiling, and
|
|
|
|
|
debugging eBPF programs. It has minimal external dependencies and is intended to
|
|
|
|
|
be used in long running processes.

## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small collection of Go and eBPF programs that serve as examples for building
|
|
|
|
|
your own tools can be found under [examples/](examples/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contributions are highly encouraged, as they highlight certain use cases of
|
|
|
|
|
eBPF and the library, and help shape the future of the project.

Please
|
|
|
|
|
[join](https://ebpf.io/slack) the
|
|
|
|
|
[#ebpf-go](https://cilium.slack.com/messages/ebpf-go) channel on Slack if you
|
|

|
|
have questions regarding the library.

## Packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This library includes the following packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [asm](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf/asm) contains a basic
|
|
|
|
|
assembler, allowing you to write eBPF assembly instructions directly
|
|
|
|
|
within your Go code. (You don't need to use this if you prefer to write your eBPF program in C.)
|
|
|
|
|
* [cmd/bpf2go](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf/cmd/bpf2go) allows
|
|
|
|
|
compiling and embedding eBPF programs written in C within Go code. As well as
|
|
|
|
|
compiling the C code, it auto-generates Go code for loading and manipulating
|
|
|
|
|
the eBPF program and map objects.
|
|
|
|
|
* [link](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf/link) allows attaching eBPF
|
|
|
|
|
to various hooks
|
|
|
|
|
* [perf](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf/perf) allows reading from a
|
|
|
|
|
`PERF_EVENT_ARRAY`
|
|
|
|
|
* [ringbuf](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf/ringbuf) allows reading from a
|
|
|
|
|
`BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF` map

## Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-04-04 23:11:06 +02:00
|
|
|
* A version of Go that is [supported by
|
|
|
|
|
upstream](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy)
|
2022-02-06 16:29:51 +09:00
|
|
|
* Linux >= 4.9. CI is run against LTS releases.

## Regenerating Testdata
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run `make` in the root of this repository to rebuild testdata in all
|
|
|
|
|
subpackages. This requires Docker, as it relies on a standardized build
|
|
|
|
|
environment to keep the build output stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The toolchain image build files are kept in [testdata/docker/](testdata/docker/).
