It is not intuitive that 'make' must be run from the top level directory with argument "samples/bpf/" to compile these eBPF samples. Introduce a kbuild make file trick that allow make to be run from the "samples/bpf/" directory itself. It basically change to the top level directory and call "make samples/bpf/" with the "/" slash after the directory name. Also add a clean target that only cleans this directory, by taking advantage of the kbuild external module setting M=$PWD.

eBPF sample programs
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a mini eBPF library, test stubs, verifier
|
|
test-suite and examples for using eBPF.
|
|
|
|
Build dependencies
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Compiling requires having installed:
|
|
* clang >= version 3.4.0
|
|
* llvm >= version 3.7.1
|
|
|
|
Note that LLVM's tool 'llc' must support target 'bpf', list version
|
|
and supported targets with command: ``llc --version``
|
|
|
|
Kernel headers
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
There are usually dependencies to header files of the current kernel.
|
|
To avoid installing devel kernel headers system wide, as a normal
|
|
user, simply call::
|
|
|
|
make headers_install
|
|
|
|
This will creates a local "usr/include" directory in the git/build top
|
|
level directory, that the make system automatically pickup first.
|
|
|
|
Compiling
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
For building the BPF samples, issue the below command from the kernel
|
|
top level directory::
|
|
|
|
make samples/bpf/
|
|
|
|
Do notice the "/" slash after the directory name.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to call make from this directory. This will just
|
|
hide the the invocation of make as above with the appended "/".
|
|
|
|
Manually compiling LLVM with 'bpf' support
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Since version 3.7.0, LLVM adds a proper LLVM backend target for the
|
|
BPF bytecode architecture.
|
|
|
|
By default llvm will build all non-experimental backends including bpf.
|
|
To generate a smaller llc binary one can use::
|
|
|
|
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF"
|
|
|
|
Quick sniplet for manually compiling LLVM and clang
|
|
(build dependencies are cmake and gcc-c++)::
|
|
|
|
$ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
|
|
$ cd llvm/tools
|
|
$ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
|
|
$ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
|
|
$ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86"
|
|
$ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to point make to the newly compiled 'llc' command
|
|
via redefining LLC on the make command line::
|
|
|
|
make samples/bpf/ LLC=~/git/llvm/build/bin/llc
|
