Description:
retsnoop is BPF-based tool that is meant to help debugging kernel issues. It
allows to capture call stacks of kernel functions that return errors (NULL or
-Exxx) and emits every such detected call stack, along with the captured
results.

Comment 4 Davide Cavalca 2022-10-21 18:42:02 UTC
- the license field needs to be updated, as the bundled libbpf is a mix of GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1
- is there an upstream issue or something we can link to to justify keeping libbpf bundled here?
- likewise, is it possible to fix the tests to run in koji?

Comment 5 Michel Lind 2022-10-22 03:14:02 UTC
- Fixed license field in https://pagure.io/michel-slm/retsnoop/c/a1b21e6aaca1ccaaea28823f691c504808f82835?branch=rawhide
- will check with author about providing an option to link against system libbpf
- tests likely really need to be run on bare metal, but will check with author
- rpmlint warnings: going to see about making sure CFLAGS are honored in the next iteration

Re-requesting branches because obviously I messed up using dirname when I meant basename
