From 15ea164ef11abc0a2d3001ca40e5e509cd06091f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislav Fomichev Date: Tue, 14 May 2019 20:38:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: don't fail when feature probing fails Otherwise libbpf is unusable from unprivileged process with kernel.kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1. All I get is EPERM from the probes, even if I just want to open an ELF object and look at what progs/maps it has. Instead of dying on probes, let's just pr_debug the error and try to continue.
