Wire up libbpf USDT support APIs without yet implementing all the
nitty-gritty details of USDT discovery, spec parsing, and BPF map
initialization.
User-visible user-space API is simple and is conceptually very similar
to uprobe API.
bpf_program__attach_usdt() API allows to programmatically attach given
BPF program to a USDT, specified through binary path (executable or
shared lib), USDT provider and name. Also, just like in uprobe case, PID
filter is specified (0 - self, -1 - any process, or specific PID).
Optionally, USDT cookie value can be specified. Such single API
invocation will try to discover given USDT in specified binary and will
use (potentially many) BPF uprobes to attach this program in correct
locations.
Just like any bpf_program__attach_xxx() APIs, bpf_link is returned that
represents this attachment. It is a virtual BPF link that doesn't have
direct kernel object, as it can consist of multiple underlying BPF
uprobe links. As such, attachment is not atomic operation and there can
be brief moment when some USDT call sites are attached while others are
still in the process of attaching. This should be taken into
consideration by user. But bpf_program__attach_usdt() guarantees that
in the case of success all USDT call sites are successfully attached, or
all the successfuly attachments will be detached as soon as some USDT
call sites failed to be attached. So, in theory, there could be cases of
failed bpf_program__attach_usdt() call which did trigger few USDT
program invocations. This is unavoidable due to multi-uprobe nature of
USDT and has to be handled by user, if it's important to create an
illusion of atomicity.
USDT BPF programs themselves are marked in BPF source code as either
SEC("usdt"), in which case they won't be auto-attached through
skeleton's <skel>__attach() method, or it can have a full definition,
which follows the spirit of fully-specified uprobes:
SEC("usdt/<path>:<provider>:<name>"). In the latter case skeleton's
attach method will attempt auto-attachment. Similarly, generic
bpf_program__attach() will have enought information to go off of for
parameterless attachment.
USDT BPF programs are actually uprobes, and as such for kernel they are
marked as BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE.
Another part of this patch is USDT-related feature probing:
- BPF cookie support detection from user-space;
- detection of kernel support for auto-refcounting of USDT semaphore.
The latter is optional. If kernel doesn't support such feature and USDT
doesn't rely on USDT semaphores, no error is returned. But if libbpf
detects that USDT requires setting semaphores and kernel doesn't support
this, libbpf errors out with explicit pr_warn() message. Libbpf doesn't
support poking process's memory directly to increment semaphore value,
like BCC does on legacy kernels, due to inherent raciness and danger of
such process memory manipulation. Libbpf let's kernel take care of this
properly or gives up.
Logistically, all the extra USDT-related infrastructure of libbpf is put
into a separate usdt.c file and abstracted behind struct usdt_manager.
Each bpf_object has lazily-initialized usdt_manager pointer, which is
only instantiated if USDT programs are attempted to be attached. Closing
BPF object frees up usdt_manager resources. usdt_manager keeps track of
USDT spec ID assignment and few other small things.
Subsequent patches will fill out remaining missing pieces of USDT
initialization and setup logic.

kprobe attach is name-based, using lookups of kallsyms to translate
a function name to an address. Currently uprobe attach is done
via an offset value as described in [1]. Extend uprobe opts
for attach to include a function name which can then be converted
into a uprobe-friendly offset. The calcualation is done in
several steps:
1. First, determine the symbol address using libelf; this gives us
the offset as reported by objdump
2. If the function is a shared library function - and the binary
provided is a shared library - no further work is required;
the address found is the required address
3. Finally, if the function is local, subtract the base address
associated with the object, retrieved from ELF program headers.
The resultant value is then added to the func_offset value passed
in to specify the uprobe attach address. So specifying a func_offset
of 0 along with a function name "printf" will attach to printf entry.
The modes of operation supported are then
1. to attach to a local function in a binary; function "foo1" in
"/usr/bin/foo"
2. to attach to a shared library function in a shared library -
function "malloc" in libc.

Adding bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function for attaching
kprobe program to multiple functions.
struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts(const struct bpf_program *prog,
const char *pattern,
const struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts *opts);
User can specify functions to attach with 'pattern' argument that
allows wildcards (*?' supported) or provide symbols or addresses
directly through opts argument. These 3 options are mutually
exclusive.
When using symbols or addresses, user can also provide cookie value
for each symbol/address that can be retrieved later in bpf program
with bpf_get_attach_cookie helper.
struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts {
size_t sz;
const char **syms;
const unsigned long *addrs;
const __u64 *cookies;
size_t cnt;
bool retprobe;
size_t :0;
};
Symbols, addresses and cookies are provided through opts object
(syms/addrs/cookies) as array pointers with specified count (cnt).
Each cookie value is paired with provided function address or symbol
with the same array index.
The program can be also attached as return probe if 'retprobe' is set.
For quick usage with NULL opts argument, like:
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts(prog, "ksys_*", NULL)
the 'prog' will be attached as kprobe to 'ksys_*' functions.
Also adding new program sections for automatic attachment:
kprobe.multi/<symbol_pattern>
kretprobe.multi/<symbol_pattern>
The symbol_pattern is used as 'pattern' argument in
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function.

Allow registering and unregistering custom handlers for BPF program.
This allows user applications and libraries to plug into libbpf's
declarative SEC() definition handling logic. This allows to offload
complex and intricate custom logic into external libraries, but still
provide a great user experience.
One such example is USDT handling library, which has a lot of code and
complexity which doesn't make sense to put into libbpf directly, but it
would be really great for users to be able to specify BPF programs with
something like SEC("usdt/<path-to-binary>:<usdt_provider>:<usdt_name>")
and have correct BPF program type set (BPF_PROGRAM_TYPE_KPROBE, as it is
uprobe) and even support BPF skeleton's auto-attach logic.
In some cases, it might be even good idea to override libbpf's default
handling, like for SEC("perf_event") programs. With custom library, it's
possible to extend logic to support specifying perf event specification
right there in SEC() definition without burdening libbpf with lots of
custom logic or extra library dependecies (e.g., libpfm4). With current
patch it's possible to override libbpf's SEC("perf_event") handling and
specify a completely custom ones.
Further, it's possible to specify a generic fallback handling for any
SEC() that doesn't match any other custom or standard libbpf handlers.
This allows to accommodate whatever legacy use cases there might be, if
necessary.
See doc comments for libbpf_register_prog_handler() and
libbpf_unregister_prog_handler() for detailed semantics.
This patch also bumps libbpf development version to v0.8 and adds new
APIs there.

Not sure why these APIs were added in the first place instead of
a completely generic (and not requiring constantly adding new APIs with
each new BPF program type) bpf_program__type() and
bpf_program__set_type() APIs. But as it is right now, there are 13 such
specialized is_type/set_type APIs, while latest kernel is already at 30+
BPF program types.
Instead of completing the set of APIs and keep chasing kernel's
bpf_prog_type enum, deprecate existing subset and recommend generic
bpf_program__type() and bpf_program__set_type() APIs.

Deprecated bpf_map__resize() in favor of bpf_map__set_max_entries()
setter. In addition to having a surprising name (users often don't
realize that they need to use bpf_map__resize()), the name also implies
some magic way of resizing BPF map after it is created, which is clearly
not the case.
Another minor annoyance is that bpf_map__resize() disallows 0 value for
max_entries, which in some cases is totally acceptable (e.g., like for
BPF perf buf case to let libbpf auto-create one buffer per each
available CPU core).

Introduce 4 new netlink-based XDP APIs for attaching, detaching, and
querying XDP programs:
- bpf_xdp_attach;
- bpf_xdp_detach;
- bpf_xdp_query;
- bpf_xdp_query_id.
These APIs replace bpf_set_link_xdp_fd, bpf_set_link_xdp_fd_opts,
bpf_get_link_xdp_id, and bpf_get_link_xdp_info APIs ([0]). The latter
don't follow a consistent naming pattern and some of them use
non-extensible approaches (e.g., struct xdp_link_info which can't be
modified without breaking libbpf ABI).
The approach I took with these low-level XDP APIs is similar to what we
did with low-level TC APIs. There is a nice duality of bpf_tc_attach vs
bpf_xdp_attach, and so on. I left bpf_xdp_attach() to support detaching
when -1 is specified for prog_fd for generality and convenience, but
bpf_xdp_detach() is preferred due to clearer naming and associated
semantics. Both bpf_xdp_attach() and bpf_xdp_detach() accept the same
opts struct allowing to specify expected old_prog_fd.
While doing the refactoring, I noticed that old APIs require users to
specify opts with old_fd == -1 to declare "don't care about already
attached XDP prog fd" condition. Otherwise, FD 0 is assumed, which is
essentially never an intended behavior. So I made this behavior
consistent with other kernel and libbpf APIs, in which zero FD means "no
FD". This seems to be more in line with the latest thinking in BPF land
and should cause less user confusion, hopefully.
For querying, I left two APIs, both more generic bpf_xdp_query()
allowing to query multiple IDs and attach mode, but also
a specialization of it, bpf_xdp_query_id(), which returns only requested
prog_id. Uses of prog_id returning bpf_get_link_xdp_id() were so
prevalent across selftests and samples, that it seemed a very common use
case and using bpf_xdp_query() for doing it felt very cumbersome with
a highly branches if/else chain based on flags and attach mode.
Old APIs are scheduled for deprecation in libbpf 0.8 release.

Create three extensible alternatives to inconsistently named
feature-probing APIs:

- libbpf_probe_bpf_map_type() instead of bpf_probe_map_type();
- libbpf_probe_bpf_helper() instead of bpf_probe_helper().
Set up return values such that libbpf can report errors (e.g., if some
combination of input arguments isn't possible to validate, etc), in
addition to whether the feature is supported (return value 1) or not
supported (return value 0).
Also schedule deprecation of those three APIs. Also schedule deprecation
of bpf_probe_large_insn_limit().
Also fix all the existing detection logic for various program and map
types that never worked:
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_LIRC_MODE2;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS;
- BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS;
- BPF_MAP_TYPE_BLOOM_FILTER.
Above prog/map types needed special setups and detection logic to work.
Subsequent patch adds selftests that will make sure that all the
detection logic keeps working for all current and future program and map
types, avoiding otherwise inevitable bit rot.

Add a new unified OPTS-based low-level API for program loading,
bpf_prog_load() ([0]). bpf_prog_load() accepts few "mandatory"
parameters as input arguments (program type, name, license,
instructions) and all the other optional (as in not required to specify
for all types of BPF programs) fields into struct bpf_prog_load_opts.
This makes all the other non-extensible APIs variant for BPF_PROG_LOAD
obsolete and they are slated for deprecation in libbpf v0.7:
- bpf_load_program();
- bpf_load_program_xattr();
- bpf_verify_program().
Implementation-wise, internal helper libbpf__bpf_prog_load is refactored
to become a public bpf_prog_load() API. struct bpf_prog_load_params used
internally is replaced by public struct bpf_prog_load_opts.
Unfortunately, while conceptually all this is pretty straightforward,
the biggest complication comes from the already existing bpf_prog_load()
*high-level* API, which has nothing to do with BPF_PROG_LOAD command.
We try really hard to have a new API named bpf_prog_load(), though,
because it maps naturally to BPF_PROG_LOAD command.
For that, we rename old bpf_prog_load() into bpf_prog_load_deprecated()
and mark it as COMPAT_VERSION() for shared library users compiled
against old version of libbpf. Statically linked users and shared lib
users compiled against new version of libbpf headers will get "rerouted"
to bpf_prog_deprecated() through a macro helper that decides whether to
use new or old bpf_prog_load() based on number of input arguments (see
___libbpf_overload in libbpf_common.h).
To test that existing
bpf_prog_load()-using code compiles and works as expected, I've compiled
and ran selftests as is. I had to remove (locally) selftest/bpf/Makefile
-Dbpf_prog_load=bpf_prog_test_load hack because it was conflicting with
the macro-based overload approach. I don't expect anyone else to do
something like this in practice, though. This is testing-specific way to
replace bpf_prog_load() calls with special testing variant of it, which
adds extra prog_flags value. After testing I kept this selftests hack,
but ensured that we use a new bpf_prog_load_deprecated name for this.
This patch also marks bpf_prog_load() and bpf_prog_load_xattr() as deprecated.
bpf_object interface has to be used for working with struct bpf_program.
Libbpf doesn't support loading just a bpf_program.
The silver lining is that when we get to libbpf 1.0 all these
complication will be gone and we'll have one clean bpf_prog_load()
low-level API with no backwards compatibility hackery surrounding it.

As part of the road to libbpf 1.0, and discussed in libbpf issue tracker
[0], bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear and its associated structs and
helper functions should be deprecated. The functionality is too specific
to the needs of 'perf', and there's little/no out-of-tree usage to
preclude introduction of a more general helper in the future.

This patch adds the libbpf infrastructure for supporting a
per-map-type "map_extra" field, whose definition will be
idiosyncratic depending on map type.
For example, for the bloom filter map, the lower 4 bits of
map_extra is used to denote the number of hash functions.
Please note that until libbpf 1.0 is here, the
"bpf_create_map_params" struct is used as a temporary
means for propagating the map_extra field to the kernel.

The name of the API doesn't convey clearly that this size is in number
of bytes (there needed to be a separate comment to make this clear in
libbpf.h). Further, measuring the size of BPF program in bytes is not
exactly the best fit, because BPF programs always consist of 8-byte
instructions. As such, bpf_program__insn_cnt() is a better alternative
in pretty much any imaginable case.
So schedule bpf_program__size() deprecation starting from v0.7 and it
will be removed in libbpf 1.0.

Schedule deprecation of a set of APIs that are related to multi-instance
bpf_programs:
- bpf_program__set_prep() ([0]);
- bpf_program__{set,unset}_instance() ([1]);
- bpf_program__nth_fd().
These APIs are obscure, very niche, and don't seem to be used much in
practice. bpf_program__set_prep() is pretty useless for anything but the
simplest BPF programs, as it doesn't allow to adjust BPF program load
attributes, among other things. In short, it already bitrotted and will
bitrot some more if not removed.
With bpf_program__insns() API, which gives access to post-processed BPF
program instructions of any given entry-point BPF program, it's now
possible to do whatever necessary adjustments were possible with
set_prep() API before, but also more. Given any such use case is
automatically an advanced use case, requiring users to stick to
low-level bpf_prog_load() APIs and managing their own prog FDs is
reasonable.

Add APIs providing read-only access to bpf_program BPF instructions ([0]).
This is useful for diagnostics purposes, but it also allows a cleaner
support for cloning BPF programs after libbpf did all the FD resolution
and CO-RE relocations, subprog instructions appending, etc. Currently,
cloning BPF program is possible only through hijacking a half-broken
bpf_program__set_prep() API, which doesn't really work well for anything
but most primitive programs. For instance, set_prep() API doesn't allow
adjusting BPF program load parameters which are necessary for loading
fentry/fexit BPF programs (the case where BPF program cloning is
a necessity if doing some sort of mass-attachment functionality).
Given bpf_program__set_prep() API is set to be deprecated, having
a cleaner alternative is a must. libbpf internally already keeps track
of linear array of struct bpf_insn, so it's not hard to expose it. The
only gotcha is that libbpf previously freed instructions array during
bpf_object load time, which would make this API much less useful overall,
because in between bpf_object__open() and bpf_object__load() a lot of
changes to instructions are done by libbpf.
So this patch makes libbpf hold onto prog->insns array even after BPF
program loading. I think this is a small price for added functionality
and improved introspection of BPF program code.
See retsnoop PR ([1]) for how it can be used in practice and code
savings compared to relying on bpf_program__set_prep().

Refactor legacy kprobe handling code to follow the same logic as uprobe
legacy logic added in the next patchs:
- add append_to_file() helper that makes it simpler to work with
tracefs file-based interface for creating and deleting probes;
- move out probe/event name generation outside of the code that
adds/removes it, which simplifies bookkeeping significantly;
- change the probe name format to start with "libbpf_" prefix and
include offset within kernel function;
- switch 'unsigned long' to 'size_t' for specifying kprobe offsets,
which is consistent with how uprobes define that, simplifies
printf()-ing internally, and also avoids unnecessary complications on
architectures where sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *).
This patch also implicitly fixes the problem with invalid open() error
handling present in poke_kprobe_events(), which (the function) this
patch removes.

bpf_object_open_opts.attach_prog_fd makes a pretty strong assumption
that bpf_object contains either only single freplace BPF program or all
of BPF programs in BPF object are freplaces intended to replace
different subprograms of the same target BPF program. This seems both
a bit confusing, too assuming, and limiting.
We've had bpf_program__set_attach_target() API which allows more
fine-grained control over this, on a per-program level. As such, mark
open_opts.attach_prog_fd as deprecated starting from v0.7, so that we
have one more universal way of setting freplace targets. With previous
change to allow NULL attach_func_name argument, and especially combined
with BPF skeleton, arguable bpf_program__set_attach_target() is a more
convenient and explicit API as well.

The BPF program loading process performed by libbpf is quite complex
and consists of the following steps:
"open" phase:
- parse elf file and remember relocations, sections
- collect externs and ksyms including their btf_ids in prog's BTF
- patch BTF datasec (since llvm couldn't do it)
- init maps (old style map_def, BTF based, global data map, kconfig map)
- collect relocations against progs and maps
"load" phase:
- probe kernel features
- load vmlinux BTF
- resolve externs (kconfig and ksym)
- load program BTF
- init struct_ops
- create maps
- apply CO-RE relocations
- patch ld_imm64 insns with src_reg=PSEUDO_MAP, PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE, PSEUDO_BTF_ID
- reposition subprograms and adjust call insns
- sanitize and load progs
During this process libbpf does sys_bpf() calls to load BTF, create maps,
populate maps and finally load programs.
Instead of actually doing the syscalls generate a trace of what libbpf
would have done and represent it as the "loader program".
The "loader program" consists of single map with:
- union bpf_attr(s)
- BTF bytes
- map value bytes
- insns bytes
and single bpf program that passes bpf_attr(s) and data into bpf_sys_bpf() helper.
Executing such "loader program" via bpf_prog_test_run() command will
replay the sequence of syscalls that libbpf would have done which will result
the same maps created and programs loaded as specified in the elf file.
The "loader program" removes libelf and majority of libbpf dependency from
program loading process.
kconfig, typeless ksym, struct_ops and CO-RE are not supported yet.
The order of relocate_data and relocate_calls had to change, so that
bpf_gen__prog_load() can see all relocations for a given program with
correct insn_idx-es.

This adds functions that wrap the netlink API used for adding, manipulating,
and removing traffic control filters.
The API summary:
A bpf_tc_hook represents a location where a TC-BPF filter can be attached.
This means that creating a hook leads to creation of the backing qdisc,
while destruction either removes all filters attached to a hook, or destroys
qdisc if requested explicitly (as discussed below).
The TC-BPF API functions operate on this bpf_tc_hook to attach, replace,
query, and detach tc filters. All functions return 0 on success, and a
negative error code on failure.
bpf_tc_hook_create - Create a hook
Parameters:
@hook - Cannot be NULL, ifindex > 0, attach_point must be set to
proper enum constant. Note that parent must be unset when
attach_point is one of BPF_TC_INGRESS or BPF_TC_EGRESS. Note
that as an exception BPF_TC_INGRESS|BPF_TC_EGRESS is also a
valid value for attach_point.
Returns -EOPNOTSUPP when hook has attach_point as BPF_TC_CUSTOM.
bpf_tc_hook_destroy - Destroy a hook
Parameters:
@hook - Cannot be NULL. The behaviour depends on value of
attach_point. If BPF_TC_INGRESS, all filters attached to
the ingress hook will be detached. If BPF_TC_EGRESS, all
filters attached to the egress hook will be detached. If
BPF_TC_INGRESS|BPF_TC_EGRESS, the clsact qdisc will be
deleted, also detaching all filters. As before, parent must
be unset for these attach_points, and set for BPF_TC_CUSTOM.
It is advised that if the qdisc is operated on by many programs,
then the program at least check that there are no other existing
filters before deleting the clsact qdisc. An example is shown
below:
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_hook, .ifindex = if_nametoindex("lo"),
.attach_point = BPF_TC_INGRESS);
/* set opts as NULL, as we're not really interested in
* getting any info for a particular filter, but just
* detecting its presence.
*/
r = bpf_tc_query(&hook, NULL);
if (r == -ENOENT) {
/* no filters */
hook.attach_point = BPF_TC_INGRESS|BPF_TC_EGREESS;
return bpf_tc_hook_destroy(&hook);
} else {
/* failed or r == 0, the latter means filters do exist */
return r;
}
Note that there is a small race between checking for no
filters and deleting the qdisc. This is currently unavoidable.
Returns -EOPNOTSUPP when hook has attach_point as BPF_TC_CUSTOM.
bpf_tc_attach - Attach a filter to a hook
Parameters:
@hook - Cannot be NULL. Represents the hook the filter will be
attached to. Requirements for ifindex and attach_point are
same as described in bpf_tc_hook_create, but BPF_TC_CUSTOM
is also supported. In that case, parent must be set to the
handle where the filter will be attached (using BPF_TC_PARENT).
E.g. to set parent to 1:16 like in tc command line, the
equivalent would be BPF_TC_PARENT(1, 16).
@opts - Cannot be NULL. The following opts are optional:
* handle - The handle of the filter
* priority - The priority of the filter
Must be >= 0 and <= UINT16_MAX
Note that when left unset, they will be auto-allocated by
the kernel. The following opts must be set:
* prog_fd - The fd of the loaded SCHED_CLS prog
The following opts must be unset:
* prog_id - The ID of the BPF prog
The following opts are optional:
* flags - Currently only BPF_TC_F_REPLACE is allowed. It
allows replacing an existing filter instead of
failing with -EEXIST.
The following opts will be filled by bpf_tc_attach on a
successful attach operation if they are unset:
* handle - The handle of the attached filter
* priority - The priority of the attached filter
* prog_id - The ID of the attached SCHED_CLS prog
This way, the user can know what the auto allocated values
for optional opts like handle and priority are for the newly
attached filter, if they were unset.
Note that some other attributes are set to fixed default
values listed below (this holds for all bpf_tc_* APIs):
protocol as ETH_P_ALL, direct action mode, chain index of 0,
and class ID of 0 (this can be set by writing to the
skb->tc_classid field from the BPF program).
bpf_tc_detach
Parameters:
@hook - Cannot be NULL. Represents the hook the filter will be
detached from. Requirements are same as described above
in bpf_tc_attach.
@opts - Cannot be NULL. The following opts must be set:
* handle, priority
The following opts must be unset:
* prog_fd, prog_id, flags
bpf_tc_query
Parameters:
@hook - Cannot be NULL. Represents the hook where the filter lookup will
be performed. Requirements are same as described above in
bpf_tc_attach().
@opts - Cannot be NULL. The following opts must be set:
* handle, priority
The following opts must be unset:
* prog_fd, prog_id, flags
The following fields will be filled by bpf_tc_query upon a
successful lookup:
* prog_id
Some usage examples (using BPF skeleton infrastructure):
BPF program (test_tc_bpf.c):
#include <linux/bpf.h>
#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
SEC("classifier")
int cls(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
return 0;
}
Userspace loader:
struct test_tc_bpf *skel = NULL;
int fd, r;
skel = test_tc_bpf__open_and_load();
if (!skel)
return -ENOMEM;
fd = bpf_program__fd(skel->progs.cls);
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_hook, hook, .ifindex =
if_nametoindex("lo"), .attach_point =
BPF_TC_INGRESS);
/* Create clsact qdisc */
r = bpf_tc_hook_create(&hook);
if (r < 0)
goto end;
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_opts, opts, .prog_fd = fd);
r = bpf_tc_attach(&hook, &opts);
if (r < 0)
goto end;
/* Print the auto allocated handle and priority */
printf("Handle=%u", opts.handle);
printf("Priority=%u", opts.priority);
opts.prog_fd = opts.prog_id = 0;
bpf_tc_detach(&hook, &opts);
end:
test_tc_bpf__destroy(skel);
This is equivalent to doing the following using tc command line:
# tc qdisc add dev lo clsact
# tc filter add dev lo ingress bpf obj foo.o sec classifier da
# tc filter del dev lo ingress handle <h> prio <p> bpf
... where the handle and priority can be found using:
# tc filter show dev lo ingress
Another example replacing a filter (extending prior example):
/* We can also choose both (or one), let's try replacing an
* existing filter.
*/
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_opts, replace_opts, .handle =
opts.handle, .priority = opts.priority,
.prog_fd = fd);
r = bpf_tc_attach(&hook, &replace_opts);
if (r == -EEXIST) {
/* Expected, now use BPF_TC_F_REPLACE to replace it */
replace_opts.flags = BPF_TC_F_REPLACE;
return bpf_tc_attach(&hook, &replace_opts);
} else if (r < 0) {
return r;
}
/* There must be no existing filter with these
* attributes, so cleanup and return an error.
*/
replace_opts.prog_fd = replace_opts.prog_id = 0;
bpf_tc_detach(&hook, &replace_opts);
return -1;
To obtain info of a particular filter:
/* Find info for filter with handle 1 and priority 50 */
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_opts, info_opts, .handle = 1,
.priority = 50);
r = bpf_tc_query(&hook, &info_opts);
if (r == -ENOENT)
printf("Filter not found");
else if (r < 0)
return r;
printf("Prog ID: %u", info_opts.prog_id);
return 0;

Introduce BPF static linker APIs to libbpf. BPF static linker allows to
perform static linking of multiple BPF object files into a single combined
resulting object file, preserving all the BPF programs, maps, global
variables, etc.
Data sections (.bss, .data, .rodata, .maps, maps, etc) with the same name are
concatenated together. Similarly, code sections are also concatenated. All the
symbols and ELF relocations are also concatenated in their respective ELF
sections and are adjusted accordingly to the new object file layout.
Static variables and functions are handled correctly as well, adjusting BPF
instructions offsets to reflect new variable/function offset within the
combined ELF section. Such relocations are referencing STT_SECTION symbols and
that stays intact.
Data sections in different files can have different alignment requirements, so
that is taken care of as well, adjusting sizes and offsets as necessary to
satisfy both old and new alignment requirements.
DWARF data sections are stripped out, currently. As well as LLLVM_ADDRSIG
section, which is ignored by libbpf in bpf_object__open() anyways. So, in
a way, BPF static linker is an analogue to `llvm-strip -g`, which is a pretty
nice property, especially if resulting .o file is then used to generate BPF
skeleton.
Original string sections are ignored and instead we construct our own set of
unique strings using libbpf-internal `struct strset` API.
To reduce the size of the patch, all the .BTF and .BTF.ext processing was
moved into a separate patch.
The high-level API consists of just 4 functions:
- bpf_linker__new() creates an instance of BPF static linker. It accepts
output filename and (currently empty) options struct;
- bpf_linker__add_file() takes input filename and appends it to the already
processed ELF data; it can be called multiple times, one for each BPF
ELF object file that needs to be linked in;
- bpf_linker__finalize() needs to be called to dump final ELF contents into
the output file, specified when bpf_linker was created; after
bpf_linker__finalize() is called, no more bpf_linker__add_file() and
bpf_linker__finalize() calls are allowed, they will return error;
- regardless of whether bpf_linker__finalize() was called or not,
bpf_linker__free() will free up all the used resources.
Currently, BPF static linker doesn't resolve cross-object file references
(extern variables and/or functions). This will be added in the follow up patch
set.

DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_xdp_set_link_opts, opts, .old_fd = -1);
When such code is compiled in debug mode, compiler is generating code that

BPF program title is ambigious and misleading term. It is ELF section name, so
let's just call it that and deprecate bpf_program__title() API in favor of
bpf_program__section_name().
Additionally, using bpf_object__find_program_by_title() is now inherently
dangerous and ambiguous, as multiple BPF program can have the same section
name. So deprecate this API as well and recommend to switch to non-ambiguous
bpf_object__find_program_by_name().
Internally, clean up usage and mis-usage of BPF program section name for
denoting BPF program name. Shorten the field name to prog->sec_name to be

Add a set of APIs to perf_buffer manage to allow applications to integrate
perf buffer polling into existing epoll-based infrastructure. One example is
applications using libevent already and wanting to plug perf_buffer polling,
instead of relying on perf_buffer__poll() and waste an extra thread to do it.
But perf_buffer is still extremely useful to set up and consume perf buffer
rings even for such use cases.
So to accomodate such new use cases, add three new APIs:
- perf_buffer__buffer_cnt() returns number of per-CPU buffers maintained by
given instance of perf_buffer manager;
- perf_buffer__buffer_fd() returns FD of perf_event corresponding to
a specified per-CPU buffer; this FD is then polled independently;
- perf_buffer__consume_buffer() consumes data from single per-CPU buffer,
identified by its slot index.
To support a simpler, but less efficient, way to integrate perf_buffer into
external polling logic, also expose underlying epoll FD through
perf_buffer__epoll_fd() API. It will need to be followed by
perf_buffer__poll(), wasting extra syscall, or perf_buffer__consume(), wasting
CPU to iterate buffers with no data. But could be simpler and more convenient
for some cases.
These APIs allow for great flexiblity, but do not sacrifice general usability
of perf_buffer.
Also exercise and check new APIs in perf_buffer selftest.

Currently, bpf_object__load() (and by induction skeleton's load), will always
attempt to prepare, relocate, and load into kernel every single BPF program
found inside the BPF object file. This is often convenient and the right thing
to do and what users expect.
But there are plenty of cases (especially with BPF development constantly
picking up the pace), where BPF application is intended to work with old
kernels, with potentially reduced set of features. But on kernels supporting
extra features, it would like to take a full advantage of them, by employing
extra BPF program. This could be a choice of using fentry/fexit over
kprobe/kretprobe, if kernel is recent enough and is built with BTF. Or BPF
program might be providing optimized bpf_iter-based solution that user-space
might want to use, whenever available. And so on.
With libbpf and BPF CO-RE in particular, it's advantageous to not have to
maintain two separate BPF object files to achieve this. So to enable such use
cases, this patch adds ability to request not auto-loading chosen BPF
programs. In such case, libbpf won't attempt to perform relocations (which
might fail due to old kernel), won't try to resolve BTF types for
BTF-aware (tp_btf/fentry/fexit/etc) program types, because BTF might not be
present, and so on. Skeleton will also automatically skip auto-attachment step
for such not loaded BPF programs.
Overall, this feature allows to simplify development and deployment of
real-world BPF applications with complicated compatibility requirements.

Add a bunch of getter for various aspects of BPF map. Some of these attribute
(e.g., key_size, value_size, type, etc) are available right now in struct
bpf_map_def, but this patch adds getter allowing to fetch them individually.
bpf_map_def approach isn't very scalable, when ABI stability requirements are
taken into account. It's much easier to extend libbpf and add support for new
features, when each aspect of BPF map has separate getter/setter.
Getters follow the common naming convention of not explicitly having "get" in
its name: bpf_map__type() returns map type, bpf_map__key_size() returns
key_size. Setters, though, explicitly have set in their name:
bpf_map__set_type(), bpf_map__set_key_size().
This patch ensures we now have a getter and a setter for the following
map attributes:
- type;
- max_entries;
- map_flags;
- numa_node;
- key_size;
- value_size;
- ifindex.
bpf_map__resize() enforces unnecessary restriction of max_entries > 0. It is
unnecessary, because libbpf actually supports zero max_entries for some cases
(e.g., for PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map) and treats it specially during map creation
time. To allow setting max_entries=0, new bpf_map__set_max_entries() setter is
added. bpf_map__resize()'s behavior is preserved for backwards compatibility
reasons.
Map ifindex getter is added as well. There is a setter already, but no
corresponding getter. Fix this assymetry as well. bpf_map__set_ifindex()
itself is converted from void function into error-returning one, similar to
other setters. The only error returned right now is -EBUSY, if BPF map is
already loaded and has corresponding FD.
One lacking attribute with no ability to get/set or even specify it
declaratively is numa_node. This patch fixes this gap and both adds
programmatic getter/setter, as well as adds support for numa_node field in
BTF-defined map.

Declaring and instantiating BPF ring buffer doesn't require any changes to
libbpf, as it's just another type of maps. So using existing BTF-defined maps
syntax with __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF) and __uint(max_elements,
<size-of-ring-buf>) is all that's necessary to create and use BPF ring buffer.
This patch adds BPF ring buffer consumer to libbpf. It is very similar to
perf_buffer implementation in terms of API, but also attempts to fix some
minor problems and inconveniences with existing perf_buffer API.
ring_buffer support both single ring buffer use case (with just using
ring_buffer__new()), as well as allows to add more ring buffers, each with its
own callback and context. This allows to efficiently poll and consume
multiple, potentially completely independent, ring buffers, using single
epoll instance.
The latter is actually a problem in practice for applications
that are using multiple sets of perf buffers. They have to create multiple
instances for struct perf_buffer and poll them independently or in a loop,
each approach having its own problems (e.g., inability to use a common poll
timeout). struct ring_buffer eliminates this problem by aggregating many
independent ring buffer instances under the single "ring buffer manager".
Second, perf_buffer's callback can't return error, so applications that need
to stop polling due to error in data or data signalling the end, have to use
extra mechanisms to signal that polling has to stop. ring_buffer's callback
can return error, which will be passed through back to user code and can be
acted upon appropariately.
Two APIs allow to consume ring buffer data:
- ring_buffer__poll(), which will wait for data availability notification
and will consume data only from reported ring buffer(s); this API allows
to efficiently use resources by reading data only when it becomes
available;
- ring_buffer__consume(), will attempt to read new records regardless of
data availablity notification sub-system. This API is useful for cases
when lowest latency is required, in expense of burning CPU resources.

With bpf_link abstraction supported by kernel explicitly, add
pinning/unpinning API for links. Also allow to create (open) bpf_link from BPF
FS file.
This API allows to have an "ephemeral" FD-based BPF links (like raw tracepoint
or fexit/freplace attachments) surviving user process exit, by pinning them in
a BPF FS, which is an important use case for long-running BPF programs.
As part of this, expose underlying FD for bpf_link. While legacy bpf_link's
might not have a FD associated with them (which will be expressed as
a bpf_link with fd=-1), kernel's abstraction is based around FD-based usage,
so match it closely. This, subsequently, allows to have a generic
pinning/unpinning API for generalized bpf_link. For some types of bpf_links
kernel might not support pinning, in which case bpf_link__pin() will return
error.
With FD being part of generic bpf_link, also get rid of bpf_link_fd in favor

Previously, if libbpf failed to resolve CO-RE relocation for some
instructions, it would either return error immediately, or, if
.relaxed_core_relocs option was set, would replace relocatable offset/imm part
of an instruction with a bogus value (-1). Neither approach is good, because
there are many possible scenarios where relocation is expected to fail (e.g.,
when some field knowingly can be missing on specific kernel versions). On the
other hand, replacing offset with invalid one can hide programmer errors, if
this relocation failue wasn't anticipated.
This patch deprecates .relaxed_core_relocs option and changes the approach to
always replacing instruction, for which relocation failed, with invalid BPF
helper call instruction. For cases where this is expected, BPF program should
already ensure that that instruction is unreachable, in which case this
invalid instruction is going to be silently ignored. But if instruction wasn't
guarded, BPF program will be rejected at verification step with verifier log
pointing precisely to the place in assembly where the problem is.

This patch adds BPF STRUCT_OPS support to libbpf.
The only sec_name convention is SEC(".struct_ops") to identify the
struct_ops implemented in BPF,
e.g. To implement a tcp_congestion_ops:
SEC(".struct_ops")
struct tcp_congestion_ops dctcp = {
.init = (void *)dctcp_init, /* <-- a bpf_prog */
/* ... some more func prts ... */
.name = "bpf_dctcp",
};
Each struct_ops is defined as a global variable under SEC(".struct_ops")
as above. libbpf creates a map for each variable and the variable name
is the map's name. Multiple struct_ops is supported under
SEC(".struct_ops").
In the bpf_object__open phase, libbpf will look for the SEC(".struct_ops")
section and find out what is the btf-type the struct_ops is
implementing. Note that the btf-type here is referring to
a type in the bpf_prog.o's btf. A "struct bpf_map" is added
by bpf_object__add_map() as other maps do. It will then
collect (through SHT_REL) where are the bpf progs that the
func ptrs are referring to. No btf_vmlinux is needed in
the open phase.
In the bpf_object__load phase, the map-fields, which depend
on the btf_vmlinux, are initialized (in bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()).
It will also set the prog->type, prog->attach_btf_id, and
prog->expected_attach_type. Thus, the prog's properties do
not rely on its section name.
[ Currently, the bpf_prog's btf-type ==> btf_vmlinux's btf-type matching
process is as simple as: member-name match + btf-kind match + size match.
If these matching conditions fail, libbpf will reject.
The current targeting support is "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which
most of its members are function pointers.
The member ordering of the bpf_prog's btf-type can be different from
the btf_vmlinux's btf-type. ]
Then, all obj->maps are created as usual (in bpf_object__create_maps()).
Once the maps are created and prog's properties are all set,
the libbpf will proceed to load all the progs.
bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() is added to register a struct_ops
map to a kernel subsystem.

Instead of all or nothing approach of overriding Kconfig file location, allow
to extend it with extra values and override chosen subset of values though
optional user-provided extra config, passed as a string through open options'
.kconfig option. If same config key is present in both user-supplied config
and Kconfig, user-supplied one wins. This allows applications to more easily
test various conditions despite host kernel's real configuration. If all of
BPF object's __kconfig externs are satisfied from user-supplied config, system
Kconfig won't be read at all.
Simplify selftests by not needing to create temporary Kconfig files.

There are cases in which BPF resource (program, map, etc) has to outlive
userspace program that "installed" it in the system in the first place.
When BPF program is attached, libbpf returns bpf_link object, which
is supposed to be destroyed after no longer necessary through
bpf_link__destroy() API. Currently, bpf_link destruction causes both automatic
detachment and frees up any resources allocated to for bpf_link in-memory
representation. This is inconvenient for the case described above because of
coupling of detachment and resource freeing.
This patch introduces bpf_link__disconnect() API call, which marks bpf_link as
disconnected from its underlying BPF resouces. This means that when bpf_link
is destroyed later, all its memory resources will be freed, but BPF resource
itself won't be detached.
This design allows to follow strict and resource-leak-free design by default,
while giving easy and straightforward way for user code to opt for keeping BPF
resource attached beyond lifetime of a bpf_link. For some BPF programs (i.e.,
FS-based tracepoints, kprobes, raw tracepoint, etc), user has to make sure to
pin BPF program to prevent kernel to automatically detach it on process exit.
This should typically be achived by pinning BPF program (or map in some cases)
in BPF FS.

independently of skeleton, we are currently don't have any use cases utilizing

Add support for extern variables, provided to BPF program by libbpf. Currently
the following extern variables are supported:
- LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION; version of a kernel in which BPF program is
executing, follows KERNEL_VERSION() macro convention, can be 4- and 8-byte
long;
- CONFIG_xxx values; a set of values of actual kernel config. Tristate,
boolean, strings, and integer values are supported.
Set of possible values is determined by declared type of extern variable.
Supported types of variables are:
- Tristate values. Are represented as `enum libbpf_tristate`. Accepted values
are **strictly** 'y', 'n', or 'm', which are represented as TRI_YES, TRI_NO,
or TRI_MODULE, respectively.
- Boolean values. Are represented as bool (_Bool) types. Accepted values are
'y' and 'n' only, turning into true/false values, respectively.
- Single-character values. Can be used both as a substritute for
bool/tristate, or as a small-range integer:
- 'y'/'n'/'m' are represented as is, as characters 'y', 'n', or 'm';
- integers in a range [-128, 127] or [0, 255] (depending on signedness of
char in target architecture) are recognized and represented with
respective values of char type.
- Strings. String values are declared as fixed-length char arrays. String of
up to that length will be accepted and put in first N bytes of char array,
with the rest of bytes zeroed out. If config string value is longer than
space alloted, it will be truncated and warning message emitted. Char array
is always zero terminated. String literals in config have to be enclosed in
double quotes, just like C-style string literals.
- Integers. 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integers are supported, both signed and
unsigned variants. Libbpf enforces parsed config value to be in the
supported range of corresponding integer type. Integers values in config can
be:
- decimal integers, with optional + and - signs;
- hexadecimal integers, prefixed with 0x or 0X;
- octal integers, starting with 0.
Config file itself is searched in /boot/config-$(uname -r) location with
fallback to /proc/config.gz, unless config path is specified explicitly
through bpf_object_open_opts' kernel_config_path option. Both gzipped and
plain text formats are supported. Libbpf adds explicit dependency on zlib
because of this, but this shouldn't be a problem, given libelf already depends
on zlib.
All detected extern variables, are put into a separate .extern internal map.
It, similarly to .rodata map, is marked as read-only from BPF program side, as
well as is frozen on load. This allows BPF verifier to track extern values as
constants and perform enhanced branch prediction and dead code elimination.
This can be relied upon for doing kernel version/feature detection and using
potentially unsupported field relocations or BPF helpers in a CO-RE-based BPF
program, while still having a single version of BPF program running on old and
new kernels. Selftests are validating this explicitly for unexisting BPF
helper.

Add new set of APIs, allowing to open/load/attach BPF object through BPF
object skeleton, generated by bpftool for a specific BPF object file. All the
xxx_skeleton() APIs wrap up corresponding bpf_object_xxx() APIs, but
additionally also automate map/program lookups by name, global data
initialization and mmap()-ing, etc. All this greatly improves and simplifies
userspace usability of working with BPF programs. See follow up patches for
examples.

Add APIs to get BPF program function name, as opposed to bpf_program__title(),
which returns BPF program function's section name. Function name has a benefit
of being a valid C identifier and uniquely identifies a specific BPF program,
while section name can be duplicated across multiple independent BPF programs.
Add also bpf_object__find_program_by_name(), similar to
bpf_object__find_program_by_title(), to facilitate looking up BPF programs by
their C function names.
Convert one of selftests to new API for look up.

Generalize BPF program attaching and allow libbpf to auto-detect type (and
extra parameters, where applicable) and attach supported BPF program types
based on program sections. Currently this is supported for:
- kprobe/kretprobe;
- tracepoint;
- raw tracepoint;
- tracing programs (typed raw TP/fentry/fexit).
More types support can be trivially added within this framework.
