Which is oldest linux kernel version that can support BTF? #bcc
|
Hi,
I'm looking into BTF and it's use case. Based on the document I understood to run BPF programs across different kernel versions, it needs to build with libbpf which depends on the BTF information. Now to enable/to have BTF information on any Kernel, the kernel needs to be re-build with "" flag. I can see the BTF support in Linux introduced from kernel version 5.1.0 (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.1/bpf/btf.html?highlight=btf) however I can still see the BTF information(/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux) on my 4.18.0-193.28.1.el8_2.x86_64 kernel. I'm little confused here how old kernel can generate BTF info if the was support added recently. Can I get information about oldest linux kernel version that can support BTF? |
