Rather than emitting a warning, assert the inverse of the condition when
the current kernel version is lower than required. This strengthens the
assertions made by our tests (provided we run them over kernel versions
before and after the listed version, which is not yet the case).
Change FromRawTracepointArgs::arg to return T rather than *const T which
seems to have been returning a dangling pointer.
Arguably this is not strictly necessary; edition 2024 seems to be
focused on increased strictness around unsafe code which doesn't unlock
new functionality for our users. That said, this work revealed an
apparent bug (see above) that we wouldn't otherwise catch due to
allow-by-default lints.
Improves the existing integraiton tests for `loaded_programs()` and
`loaded_maps()` in consideration for older kernels:
- Opt for `SocketFilter` program in tests since XDP requires v4.8 and
fragments requires v5.18.
- For assertion tests, first perform the assertion, if the assertion
fails, then it checks the host kernel version to see if it is above
the minimum version requirement. If not, then continue with test,
otherwise fail.
For assertions that are skipped, they're logged in stderr which can
be observed with `-- --nocapture`.
This also fixes the `bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd()` call for kernels below
v4.15. If calling syscall on kernels below v4.15, it can produce an
`E2BIG` error because `check_uarg_tail_zero()` expects the entire
struct to all-zero bytes (which is caused from the map info).
Instead, we first attempt the syscall with the map info filled, if it
returns `E2BIG`, then perform syscall again with empty closure.
Also adds doc for which version a kernel feature was introduced for
better awareness.
The tests have been verified kernel versions:
- 4.13.0
- 4.15.0
- 6.1.0
For tests that do networking operations, this allows to have a
clean-state network namespace and interfaces for each test. Mainly, this
avoids "device or resource busy" errors when reusing the loopback
interface across tests.
