This is to expose literally the libbpf APIs, at least as .h file inline wrappers if not native.

libbpf APIs have a permissive license so some of the code may be usable, even if not the code that wraps bpf() syscall.

There are some issues currently in the libbpf code base, including:

  1. GCC compiler-specific pragmas and __attribute__ markups
  2. Direct inclusion of <linux/…> headers
  3. GCC-compiler specific language construct “= {}” instead of “= {0}”
  4. GCC-compiler pecific language construct "?:", as in "err = err ?: value;"
  5. Deprecated APIs like strdup instead of _strdup
  6. Files with ambiguous license (no header at top) like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libbpf/libbpf/master/travis-ci/vmtest/vmlinux.h

The above could only be addressed by updating the libbpf code itself.

After much investigation, I've concluded that it would not currently make sense to try to use libbpf code directly, since libbpf hard-codes a list of prog types, helper func id names, etc., which lists can vary by platform. So the current libbpf implementation is really Linux-specific even if the header file is platform agnostic. At least in the short term, runtime implementations would be better off implementing their own platform-specific implementations of the common libbpf header.
