Faster btf.LoadKernelSpec()

Obtaining the kernel's BTF used to be very slow and is now very fast. See #1235 by @lmb.

TCX

It's now possible to attach TC programs using the new bpf_link based TCX API. See #1163 by @lmb.

UprobeMulti and UretprobeMulti

These are the user-space equivalents to KprobeMulti and Kretprobe multi and allow
attaching to a large number of symbols quickly. See #1269 by @olsajiri.

Netfilter link

There is now support to attach Netfilter programs using bpf_links. See #1313 by @mehrdadrad.

Better ELF section naming compatibility

The list of recognised ELF section names is now automatically generated from
libbpf and should be more accurate and easier to keep up to date. See #1209 by @lmb.

Pre-allocate per-CPU values

It's now possible to cut down on allocations by pre-allocating per-CPU values. See #1220 by @alxn.

Batch operation support for per-CPU values

Batch operations like Map.BatchLookup now support per-CPU values. Note that this
is not particularly optimised, please check whether it is faster based on your
use case. See #1192 by @alxn.

Breaking changes

This release requires at least Go 1.21.

github.com/cilium/ebpf

  • (*Map).BatchLookup, (*Map).BatchLookupAndDelete: now take a MapBatchCursor.
    The previous implementation did not properly account for differences between
    map types and was unsafe.

github.com/cilium/ebpf/btf

  • CORERelocate: now takes an additional argument, which is usually Spec.TypeID.
  • MarshalExtInfos: now takes an additional *Builder instead of allocating it.
    Simply pass NewBuilder().

Both of these are considered somewhat internal API of the library.

github.com/cilium/ebpf/features

  • HaveBoundedLoops: changed from var to func
  • HaveLargeInstructions: changed from var to func
  • HaveV2ISA: changed from var to func
  • HaveV3ISA: changed from var to func

github.com/cilium/ebpf/link

  • QueryOptions.Path: removed. Instead, pass an fd to the directory via QueryOptions.Target.
  • QueryPrograms: now returns QueryResult to be able to extend the API.
  • RawAttachProgramOptions.Replace: removed. Instead, pass ReplaceProgram() to RawAttachProgramOptions.Anchor.
