Enable EBPF on WSL2
By default, EBPF programs will not run on WSL2 due to required kernel modules missing. The following example error is an
indication of this problem:
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.19.84-microso
ft-standard/modules.dep.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module kheaders not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.84-microsoft-standard
chdir(/lib/modules/4.19.84-microsoft-standard/build): No such file or directory
To fix this you need to rebuild the WSL2 kernel with the missing kernel modules. The below instructions are for Ubuntu 18.04 WSL2.
1. git clone https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel.git
