eBPF

PkgGoDev

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.

  • asm contains a basic assembler
  • link allows attaching eBPF to various hooks
  • perf allows reading from a PERF_EVENT_ARRAY
  • cmd/bpf2go allows embedding eBPF in Go

The library is maintained by Cloudflare and Cilium. Feel free to join the #libbpf-go channel on Slack.

Current status

The package is production ready, but the API is explicitly unstable right now. Expect to update your code if you want to follow along.

Requirements

  • A version of Go that is supported by upstream
  • Linux 4.9, 4.19 or 5.4 (versions in-between should work, but are not tested)

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/.
