As bpf usage becomes more pervasive, people starts to worry
about their cpu and memory cost. On a particular host,
people often wanted to know all running bpf programs
and their attachment context. So they can relate
a performance/memory anormly quickly to a particular bpf
program or an application.
bpftool already provides a pretty good coverage for perf
and cgroup related attachments. This patch set enabled
to dump attachment info for xdp and tc bpf programs.
Currently, users can already use "ip link show <dev>" and
"tc filter show dev <dev> ..." to dump bpf program attachment
information for xdp and tc bpf programs. The main reason
to implement such functionality in bpftool as well is for
better user experience. We want the bpftool to be the
ultimate tool for bpf introspection. The bpftool net
implementation will only present necessary bpf attachment
information to the user, ignoring most other ip/tc
specific information.
For example, the below is a pretty json print for xdp
and tc_filters.
$ ./bpftool -jp net

"xdp": [{
"ifindex": 2,
"devname": "eth0",
"prog_id": 198

Patch #1 synced kernel uapi header if_link.h to tools directory.
Patch #2 moved tools/bpf/lib/bpf.c netlink related functions to
a new file. Patch #3 implemented additional functions
in libbpf which will be used in Patch #4.
Patch #4 implemented bpftool net support to dump
xdp and tc bpf program attachments.
