The archlinuxarm repository provides a package for BCC, the BPF Compiler Collection. As of today this package doesn't work on the pinephone, because the current kernel config lacks eBPF support.

This MR adds the kernel options requested by BCC. I have built the resulting kernel and can confirm that the BCC tools work (eg those that get installed at /usr/share/bcc/tools/).

BCC brings very powerful tools that may be used for fine-grained network security, like the ability to filter network request per process using cgroups. I humbly claim that it's a must-have for Arch on the Pinephone.

Comments welcome !

I just enabled this in the last kernel, why is it disabled?
