Support static initialization of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY with a syntax similar to map-in-map initialization ([0]): SEC("socket") int tailcall_1(void *ctx) { return 0; } struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY); __uint(max_entries, 2); __uint(key_size, sizeof(__u32)); __array(values, int (void *)); } prog_array_init SEC(".maps") = { .values = { [1] = (void *)&tailcall_1, }, }; Here's the relevant part of libbpf debug log showing what's going on with prog-array initialization: libbpf: sec '.relsocket': collecting relocation for section(3) 'socket' libbpf: sec '.relsocket': relo #0: insn #2 against 'prog_array_init' libbpf: prog 'entry': found map 0 (prog_array_init, sec 4, off 0) for insn #0 libbpf: .maps relo #0: for 3 value 0 rel->r_offset 32 name 53 ('tailcall_1') libbpf: .maps relo #0: map 'prog_array_init' slot [1] points to prog 'tailcall_1' libbpf: map 'prog_array_init': created successfully, fd=5 libbpf: map 'prog_array_init': slot [1] set to prog 'tailcall_1' fd=6 [0] Closes: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/354 Signed-off-by: Hengqi Chen <hengqi.chen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211128141633.502339-2-hengqi.chen@gmail.com
