      filter: bpf_asm: add minimal bpf asm tool · 3f356385
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      There are a couple of valid use cases for a minimal low-level bpf asm
      like tool, for example, using/linking to libpcap is not an option, the
      required BPF filters use Linux extensions that are not supported by
      libpcap's compiler, a filter might be more complex and not cleanly
      implementable with libpcap's compiler, particular filter codes should
      be optimized differently than libpcap's internal BPF compiler does,
      or for security audits of emitted BPF JIT code for prepared set of BPF
      instructions resp. BPF JIT compiler development in general.
      
      Then, in such cases writing such a filter in low-level syntax can be
      an good alternative, for example, xt_bpf and cls_bpf users might have
      requirements that could result in more complex filter code, or one that
      cannot be expressed with libpcap (e.g. different return codes in
      cls_bpf for flowids on various BPF code paths).
      
      Moreover, BPF JIT implementors may wish to manually write test cases
      in order to verify the resulting JIT image, and thus need low-level
      access to BPF code generation as well. Therefore, complete the available
      toolchain for BPF with this small bpf_asm helper tool for the tools/net/
      directory. These 3 complementary minimal helper tools round up and
      facilitate BPF development.

      filter: bpf_dbg: add minimal bpf debugger · fd981e3c
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This patch adds a minimal BPF debugger that "emulates" the kernel's
      BPF engine (w/o extensions) and allows for single stepping (forwards
      and backwards through BPF code) or running with >=1 breakpoints through
      selected or all packets from a pcap file with a provided user filter
      in order to facilitate verification of a BPF program. When a breakpoint
      is being hit, it dumps all register contents, decoded instructions and
      in case of branches both decoded branch targets as well as other useful
      information.
      
      Having this facility is in particular useful to verify BPF programs
      against given test traffic *before* attaching to a live system.
      
      With the general availability of cls_bpf, xt_bpf, socket filters,
      team driver and e.g. PTP code, all BPF users, quite often a single
      more complex BPF program is being used. Reasons for a more complex
      BPF program are primarily to optimize execution time for making a
      verdict when multiple simple BPF programs are combined into one in
      order to prevent parsing same headers multiple times. In particular,
      for cls_bpf that can have various return paths for encoding flowids,
      and xt_bpf to come to a fw verdict this can be the case.
      
      Therefore, as this can result in more complex and harder to debug
      code, it would be very useful to have this minimal tool for testing
      purposes. It can also be of help for BPF JIT developers as filters
      are "test attached" to the kernel on a temporary socket thus
      triggering a JIT image dump when enabled. The tool uses an interactive
      libreadline shell with auto-completion and history support.

      Minor fix for printk format of a phys_addr_t, and the switch of two local
      functions to static since they're not used outside of the file.
