# eBPF
|
|
|
|
[](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf)
|
|
|
|
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](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf/asm) contains a basic
|
|
assembler
|
|
* [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`
|
|
* [cmd/bpf2go](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cilium/ebpf/cmd/bpf2go) allows
|
|
compiling and embedding eBPF programs in Go code
|
|
|
|
The library is maintained by [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com) and
|
|
[Cilium](https://www.cilium.io). Feel free to
|
|
[join](https://cilium.herokuapp.com/) the
|
|
[#libbpf-go](https://cilium.slack.com/messages/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.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* A version of Go that is [supported by
|
|
upstream](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy)
|
|
* Linux 4.9, 4.19 or 5.4 (versions in-between should work, but are not tested)
|
|
|
|
## Useful resources
|
|
|
|
* [eBPF.io](https://ebpf.io) (recommended)
|
|
* [Cilium eBPF documentation](https://docs.cilium.io/en/latest/bpf/#bpf-guide)
|
|
(recommended)
|
|
* [Linux documentation on
|
|
BPF](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/filter.html)
|
|
* [eBPF features by Linux

## 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/).
