commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=146498d13c487e8f43d6725e343eae4474147695
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

bcc is a front-end tool for eBPF:
https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/README.md
eBPF is the most powerful Linux tracer, and bcc allows writing eBPF
scripts in C and PYTHON3.

bcc can help to troubleshoot issues quickly on embedded systems (as long
as Linux kernel version >= 4.1).

bcc can also make it easy to create observabilty tools, SDN
configuration, ddos mitigation, intrusion detection and secure
containers. More information is available at: https://ebpf.io/

BCC can be tested on the target :
$ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
$ cd /usr/share/bcc/tools
$ ./execsnoop

+	  BPF Compiler Collection (BCC)
+
+	  BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and
+	  manipulation programs, and includes several useful tools and
+	  examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet
+	  Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was
+	  first added to Linux 3.15. Much of what BCC uses requires
+	  Linux 4.1 and above.
+
+	  Note: Before using bcc, you need either need to :
+	  - For kernel_ver = [4.1, 5.2) : Copy kernel source code
+	  to target folder /lib/module/<kernel_ver>/build.
+	  - Or kernel_ver >= 5.2 : Compile kernel with CONFIG_IKHEADERS
+	  and use generated headers under /sys/kernel/kheaders.tar.xz
+	  to populate /lib/module/<kernel_ver>/build.
+
+	  That's because the clang frontend build eBPF code at runtime.
