| Summary: Tool for inspection and manipulation of BPF programs and maps | |
bpftool allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects (programs and maps) on the system.
GPL-2.0-only
* Mon Mar 23 2026 Fredrik Lönnegren <fredrik.lonnegren@suse.com>
- Update to version 7.7.0:
* Add support for signing BPF programs before loading them, using a private
PEM key and X.509 certificate. This comes at the cost of an additional
build dependency to OpenSSL's development library.
* Add a new command bpftool token list showing information for each BPF
virtual file system mount point containing BPF token information.
* Add support for instructions array maps (insn_array keyword), and teach the
disassembler about indirect jump instructions.
* Support merging multiple module BTF objects with bpftool btf dump file
<path1> file <path2> ....
* Add a prepend option for loading tcx programs (bpftool net attach
tcx_ingress name tc_prog dev lo prepend) to insert the program at the
beginning of the chain.
* Add support for fsession attach type for cgroup programs.
* Improve the error message when dumping a JIT-ed BPF program returns no
instructions, to hint at kernel.kptr_restrict that might interfere with the
dump.
* Update the bpftool-prog manual page to mention newer ekfunc
bpf_stream_vprintk_impl() rather than the legacy bpf_stream_vprintk().
* Fri Jan 30 2026 Shung-Hsi Yu <shung-hsi.yu@suse.com>
- Simplify LLVM-version detection to use product_libs_llvm_ver
* Macro available in SLES as well since 15-SP7
- Make bpftool-bash-completion noarch
- Export CFLAGS to properly propagate optflags to sub-make
* Ensure bundled libbpf builds with system flags
* Fri Jul 25 2025 Fredrik Lönnegren <fredrik.lonnegren@suse.com>
- Update to version 7.6.0:
* Add new commands bpftool tracelog <stdout|stderr> PROG to print the BPF
streams content of a given BPF program. (faad8ad)
* Allow users to specify a custom path for BTF information when loading
programs with bpftool. (6977b71)
* Add a root_id argument when dumping a BTF object, in order to have bpftool
print a minimized dump (type and dependencies) of a specific type from the
BTF object. (2c5b7fd)
* Add probe for ISA v4 instruction set extensions. New BPF instructions
include: BPF_{SDIV,SMOD} (signed div and mod), BPF_{LD,LDX,ST,STX,MOV}
(sign-extended load/store/move), 32-bit BPF_JA (unconditional jump),
target-independent BPF_ALU64 BSWAP (byte-swapping 16/32/64). Availability
is now probed as part of bpftool feature probe. (a5c0580)
* Display additional information about BPF links, such as ref_ctr_offset for
uprobe links, cookies for raw_tp probes and tracing probes. (1375884,
c4c2dd0, 2406596)
* Support "load-acquire" and "store-release" atomic instructions in the
disassembler for translated programs. (452f644)
* Make bpftool request fewer permissions, via libbpf's options, when possible
for map operations: use read-only access for operations that don't require
write access (for example, map creation requires write access, map dump can
work with read-only access). (224edf4)
* Sun May 25 2025 Bernhard Wiedemann <bwiedemann@suse.com>
- Change .spec to not write files
* Tue Feb 25 2025 Christophe Marin <christophe@krop.fr>
- Simplify the LLVM version conditions
* Wed Oct 30 2024 Fredrik Lönnegren <fredrik.lonnegren@suse.com>
- Update to version 7.5.0
* Add support for attaching and detaching tcx programs with bpftool net,
along with relevant documentation and bash completion.
* When dumping BTF information, support dumping kfunc prototypes. Users
willing to use kfunc no longer have to define the prototypes themselves,
then can use the generated header file. This is also convenient to check
what kfuncs are available in the running kernel.
* Sort the output from the dump, in C format, of BTF objects. Sorting the
output helps applying diff tools on the generated header files, and helps
generate a more natural ordering in the header.
* Print richer information when dumping sockmap links.
* In BPF skeletons, auto-attach struct_ops BPF maps as part of
<skeleton>__attach(), define BPF_SKEL_SUPPORTS_MAP_AUTO_ATTACH accordingly.
* Improvements in libbpf bring the ability to open and work with object files
in either endianness for some operations like object linking or light BPF
skeleton creation.
* Bpftool automatically mounts the BPF virtual file system (bpffs) when
necessary, for example to pin programs. This bpffs was mounted on the
parent directory for the provided path under certain circumstances. Now
bpftool mounts the bpffs on the provided path instead, as expected.
* When loading programs and trying to pin the maps, attempt to mount the
bpffs when the provided path for the maps is not under an existing bpffs
already, as bpftool usually does for other similar commands.
* Use __typeof__() rather than typeof() in BPF skeleton, to improve
compatibility with C++.
* Fix cgroup-related queries to avoid trying to dump (inaccessible)
Netkit-related information.
* Fix backward compatibility issue related to struct_ops maps handling for
BPF skeletons used with older versions of libbpf.
* Many trivial improvements to bpftool's documentation and bash completion,
such as formatting fixes, typo fixes, or minor clarifications.
* Fix typos in error message and usage help message.

* and CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH) are no longer checked with bpftool feature probe

skeletons support) for some clang versions
* Displaying PIDs for processes holding references to BPF links when listing
links with bpftool link list on older kernels broke in v7.3.0, because the
internal program pid_iter would fail to load
* Tue Nov 28 2023 Shung-Hsi Yu <shung-hsi.yu@suse.com>

with "prog load"
