[PATCH bpf-next 09/13] selftests/bpf: Add tracing_multi bpf prog attach failure tests

From: Leon Hwang

Date: Sun Aug 09 2026 - 11:09:02 EST


Tests against two libbpf failures and two kernel failures:

* libbpf: 'ids' + 'fds'.
* libbpf: 'pattern' + 'fds'.
* kernel: 'fds' + invalid 'ids'.
* kernel: duplicate targets via different fd for the same bpf prog + func.
