eBPF has been backported for RHEL 7 w/ kernel 3.10-940+ [0]. However only the following program types are supported [1]: BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT For libbpf this causes an EINVAL return during the bpf_object__probe_loading call which only checks to see if programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER can load. The following will try BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT as a fallback attempt before erroring out. BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE was not a good candidate because on some kernels it requires knowledge of the LINUX_VERSION_CODE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
