Using eBPF programs

There is now a development image mobylinux/ebpf:_tag_. These are currently being built manually, I will tag one for each kernel release, as you should have a close one, eg mobylinux/ebpf:4.9 is currently available.

This image has all the kernel headers, iovisor/bcc built with support for C, Python and Lua, and all sources installed. It is very large so if we are shipping stuff based on this we will just extract compiled eBPF programs probably, but it is also usable for experiments, debug, benchmarks etc.

You probably want to run with

docker run -it -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug --privileged --pid=host mobylinux/ebpf:tag sh for interactive use as some things use debugfs. You need at least CAP_SYS_ADMIN to do anything. There are examples in bcc/examples that should generally just work, I have tried several of the Lua ones.

Some of the iovisor/bcc samples try to access the kernel symbols. For them to work correctly you should also execute:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
