moreover, kernelconfigdata must be provided.

Example configuration file to build both the Kernel module and eBPF probe for Archlinux. Note: archlinux target uses the Arch Linux Archive to fetch all ever supported kernel releases. For arm64, it uses an user-provided mirror, as no official mirror is available: http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/. The mirror has been up and updated since 2015.
NOTE: ArchLinux has updated to Linux Kernel 6.0+, which appears to enforce generation of BTF for kmod too. The typical Debian container builders in the repo currently do not work for building ArchLinux drivers as a result. While an agreement is being reached on how to handle this upstream, using a custom --builderimage
with ArchLinux drivers works for now. For example:
# archlinux builder example
# Note: ArchLinux is a rolling release, the gcc versions and such will change over time
# pinned for now for gcc 11/12

In case of vanilla, you also need to pass the kernel config data in base64 format.
In most systems you can get kernelconfigdata
by reading /proc/config.gz
.
kernelrelease: 5.5.2
kernelversion: 1
target: vanilla
output:
module: /tmp/falco-vanilla.ko
probe: /tmp/falco-vanilla.o
driverversion: 0de226085cc4603c45ebb6883ca4cacae0bd25b2
Now you can add the kernelconfigdata
to the configuration file, to do so:
zcat /proc/config.gz| base64 -w0 | awk '{print "kernelconfigdata: " $1;}' >> /tmp/vanilla.yaml
The command above assumes that you saved the configuration file at /tmp/vanilla.yaml
Usually, building for a vanilla
target requires more time.
So, we suggest to increase the driverkit
timeout (defaults to 60
seconds):
driverkit docker -c /tmp/vanilla.yaml --timeout=300
