You can catch the returned value and show a warning message in case PID namespace does not exist?

The problem with fixed version check is that they will not work on kernel where a specific patch could have been backported.
Is there a way to rather check for the existence of a given bpf helper?

In bcc/tools, we have a few cases (including profile) checking kernel version for bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid() availability. But for libbpf-tools, I think we can do better.
See trace_helpers.c. There are a few probe_*() functions which tries to detect whether a particular feature (prog_type, map_type) is supported or not. I think we can have another probe function to check whether bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid() is supported or not.

Thank you for good feedback.
I have applied the opinion.

Could you please check if it's what you want?
Thank you.

Let us do 'err && env.verbose' here. We want to print out the below information under verbose mode.

Add PID translation for nested PID namespace environments, such as container.
…he kernel Support PID namespace mapping only in kernels where bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid is available. Add a utility function to check if bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid is available in the target kernel. Use this function in the profile to determine support for PID namespace mapping.
Support PID namespace translation as memleak.py does.
