For a change log since 0.29.1, see:
https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/v0.31.0/debian/changelog
This commit also changes BCC_SITE_METHOD to "git". This is because the
upstream source archive name does not contain the version. It is
always named "bcc-src-with-submodule.tar.gz" in all releases. If using
the https _SITE_METHOD, bumping the version will not download the new
version if the directory BR2_DL_DIR contains an old one, with the same
name. Since the upstream repository uses git submodules, this commit
also adds "BCC_GIT_SUBMODULES = YES".

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
