Merge branch 'btf-func-info'
Martin KaFai Lau says: ==================== The BTF support was added to kernel by Commit 69b693f0 ("bpf: btf: Introduce BPF Type Format (BTF)"), which introduced .BTF section into ELF file and is primarily used for map pretty print. pahole is used to convert dwarf to BTF for ELF files. This patch added func info support to the kernel so we can get better ksym's for bpf function calls. Basically, function call types are passed to kernel and the kernel extract function names from these types in order to contruct ksym for these functions. The llvm patch at https://reviews.llvm.org/D53736 will generate .BTF section and one more section .BTF.ext. The .BTF.ext section encodes function type information. The following is a sample output for selftests test_btf with file test_btf_haskv.o for translated insns and jited insns respectively. $ bpftool prog dump xlated id 1 int _dummy_tracepoint(struct dummy_tracepoint_args * arg): 0: (85) call pc+2#bpf_prog_2dcecc18072623fc_test_long_fname_1 1: (b7) r0 = 0 2: (95) exit int test_long_fname_1(struct dummy_tracepoint_args * arg): 3: (85) call pc+1#bpf_prog_89d64e4abf0f0126_test_long_fname_2 4: (95) exit int test_long_fname_2(struct dummy_tracepoint_args * arg): 5: (b7) r2 = 0 6: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r2 7: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8) ... 22: (07) r1 += 1 23: (63) *(u32 *)(r0 +4) = r1 24: (95) exit $ bpftool prog dump jited id 1 int _dummy_tracepoint(struct dummy_tracepoint_args * arg): bpf_prog_b07ccb89267cf242__dummy_tracepoint: 0: push %rbp 1: mov %rsp,%rbp ...... 3c: add $0x28,%rbp 40: leaveq 41: retq int test_long_fname_1(struct dummy_tracepoint_args * arg): bpf_prog_2dcecc18072623fc_test_long_fname_1: 0: push %rbp 1: mov %rsp,%rbp ...... 3a: add $0x28,%rbp 3e: leaveq 3f: retq int test_long_fname_2(struct dummy_tracepoint_args * arg): bpf_prog_89d64e4abf0f0126_test_long_fname_2: 0: push %rbp 1: mov %rsp,%rbp ...... 80: add $0x28,%rbp 84: leaveq 85: retq Changelogs: v4 -> v5: . Add back BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO as v1 did. The difference is BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO cannot have t->name_off now. All param metadata is defined in BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO. BTF_KIND_FUNC must have t->name_off != 0 and t->type refers to a BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO. The above is the conclusion after the discussion between Edward Cree, Alexei, Daniel, Yonghong and Martin. v3 -> v4: . Remove BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO. BTF_KIND_FUNC is used for both function pointer and subprogram. The name_off field is used to distinguish both. . The record size is added to the func_info subsection in .BTF.ext to enable future extension. . The bpf_prog_info interface change to make it similar bpf_prog_load. . Related kernel and libbpf changes to accommodate the new .BTF.ext and kernel interface changes. v2 -> v3: . Removed kernel btf extern functions btf_type_id_func() and btf_get_name_by_id(). Instead, exposing existing functions btf_type_by_id() and btf_name_by_offset(). . Added comments about ELF section .BTF.ext layout. . Better codes in btftool as suggested by Edward Cree. v1 -> v2: . Added missing sign-off. . Limited the func_name/struct_member_name length for validity test. . Removed/changed several verifier messages. . Modified several commit messages to remove line_off reference. ==================== Acked-by: Edward Cree <ecree@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
