This patch series extend the "bpftool feature" subcommand with the new positional arguments:
- "section", which allows to select a specific section of probes (i.e. "system_config", "program_types", "map_types"); - "filter_in", which allows to select only probes which matches the given regex pattern; - "filter_out", which allows to filter out probes which do not match the given regex pattern.
The main motivation behind those changes is ability the fact that some probes (for example those related to "trace" or "write_user" helpers) emit dmesg messages which might be confusing for people who are running on production environments. For details see the Cilium issue[0].
