Backporting

  • Backport to latest stable release.

Fluent Bit is licensed under Apache 2.0, by submitting this pull request I understand that this code will be released under the terms of that license.

This is an initial proposal of a POC of an ebpf ingestor
plugin. This adds capabilities to load and attach to
an existing ebpf program and consume events from a fixed-sized
ring buffer, subsequently those events are ingested in the log
ingestion buffer.

Events types are known and defined in the fluent-bit codebase and
those has to be implemented by the ebpf program to follow when submitted
into the ring buffer, this in the future must be serialized and
be an extensible part of the project as we possibly make progress towards
compability with other ebpf collectors.

Also, i've implemented a fallback to allow strings to be passed as the
payload of the event, without following a specific event type.
