Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch set makes bpf_helpers.h and bpf_endian.h a part of libbpf itself for consumption by user BPF programs, not just selftests. It also splits off tracing helpers into bpf_tracing.h, which also becomes part of libbpf. Some of the legacy stuff (BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR, load_{byte,half,word}, bpf_map_def with unsupported fields, etc, is extracted into selftests-only bpf_legacy.h. All the selftests and samples are switched to use libbpf's headers and selftests' ones are removed. As part of this patch set we also add BPF_CORE_READ variadic macros, that are simplifying BPF CO-RE reads, especially the ones that have to follow few pointers. E.g., what in non-BPF world (and when using BCC) would be: int x = s->a->b.c->d; /* s, a, and b.c are pointers */ Today would have to be written using explicit bpf_probe_read() calls as: void *t; int x; bpf_probe_read(&t, sizeof(t), s->a); bpf_probe_read(&t, sizeof(t), ((struct b *)t)->b.c); bpf_probe_read(&x, sizeof(x), ((struct c *)t)->d); This is super inconvenient and distracts from program logic a lot. Now, with added BPF_CORE_READ() macros, you can write the above as: int x = BPF_CORE_READ(s, a, b.c, d); Up to 9 levels of pointer chasing are supported, which should be enough for any practical purpose, hopefully, without adding too much boilerplate macro definitions (though there is admittedly some, given how variadic and recursive C macro have to be implemented). There is also BPF_CORE_READ_INTO() variant, which relies on caller to allocate space for result: int x; BPF_CORE_READ_INTO(&x, s, a, b.c, d); Result of last bpf_probe_read() call in the chain of calls is the result of BPF_CORE_READ_INTO(). If any intermediate bpf_probe_read() aall fails, then all the subsequent ones will fail too, so this is sufficient to know whether overall "operation" succeeded or not. No short-circuiting of bpf_probe_read()s is done, though. BPF_CORE_READ_STR_INTO() is added as well, which differs from BPF_CORE_READ_INTO() only in that last bpf_probe_read() call (to read final field after chasing pointers) is replaced with bpf_probe_read_str(). Result of bpf_probe_read_str() is returned as a result of BPF_CORE_READ_STR_INTO() macro itself, so that applications can track return code and/or length of read string. Patch set outline: - patch #1 undoes previously added GCC-specific bpf-helpers.h include; - patch #2 splits off legacy stuff we don't want to carry over; - patch #3 adjusts CO-RE reloc tests to avoid subsequent naming conflict with BPF_CORE_READ; - patch #4 splits off bpf_tracing.h; - patch #5 moves bpf_{helpers,endian,tracing}.h and bpf_helper_defs.h generation into libbpf and adjusts Makefiles to include libbpf for header search; - patch #6 adds variadic BPF_CORE_READ() macro family, as described above; - patch #7 adds tests to verify all possible levels of pointer nestedness for BPF_CORE_READ(), as well as correctness test for BPF_CORE_READ_STR_INTO(). v4->v5: - move BPF_CORE_READ() stuff into bpf_core_read.h header (Alexei); v3->v4: - rebase on latest bpf-next master; - bpf_helper_defs.h generation is moved into libbpf's Makefile; v2->v3: - small formatting fixes and macro () fixes (Song); v1->v2: - fix CO-RE reloc tests before bpf_helpers.h move (Song); - split off legacy stuff we don't want to carry over (Daniel, Toke); - split off bpf_tracing.h (Daniel); - fix samples/bpf build (assuming other fixes are applied); - switch remaining maps either to bpf_map_def_legacy or BTF-defined maps; ==================== Signed-off-by:Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Currently, at xdp_adjust_tail_kern.c, MAX_PCKT_SIZE is limited to 600. To make this size flexible, static global variable 'max_pcktsz' is added. By updating new packet size from the user space, xdp_adjust_tail_kern.o will use this value as a new max packet size. This static global variable can be accesible from .data section with bpf_object__find_map* from user space, since it is considered as internal map (accessible with .bss/.data/.rodata suffix). If no '-P <MAX_PCKT_SIZE>' option is used, the size of maximum packet will be 600 as a default. For clarity, change the helper to fetch map from 'bpf_map__next' to 'bpf_object__find_map_fd_by_name'. Also, changed the way to test prog_fd, map_fd from '!= 0' to '< 0', since fd could be 0 when stdin is closed. Signed-off-by:

Stanislav Fomichev says: ==================== While having a per-net-ns flow dissector programs is convenient for testing, security-wise it's better to have only one vetted global flow dissector implementation. Let's have a convention that when BPF flow dissector is installed in the root namespace, child namespaces can't override it. The intended use-case is to attach global BPF flow dissector early from the init scripts/systemd. Attaching global dissector is prohibited if some non-root namespace already has flow dissector attached. Also, attaching to non-root namespace is prohibited when there is flow dissector attached to the root namespace. v3: * drop extra check and empty line (Andrii Nakryiko) v2: * EPERM -> EEXIST (Song Liu) * Make sure we don't have dissector attached to non-root namespaces when attaching the global one (Andrii Nakryiko) ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Current Makefile dependency chain is not strict enough and allows test_attach_probe.o to be built before test_progs's prog_test/attach_probe.o is built, which leads to assembler complaining about missing included binary. This patch is a minimal fix to fix this issue by enforcing that test_attach_probe.o (BPF object file) is built before prog_tests/attach_probe.c is attempted to be compiled.

Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch set adds ability to auto-generate list of BPF helper definitions. It relies on existing scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py and include/uapi/linux/bpf.h having a well-defined set of comments. bpf_helper_defs.h contains all BPF helper signatures which stay in sync with latest bpf.h UAPI. This auto-generated header is included from bpf_helpers.h, while all previously hand-written BPF helper definitions are simultaneously removed in patch #3. The end result is less manually maintained and redundant boilerplate code, while also more consistent and well-documented set of BPF helpers. Generated helper definitions are completely independent from a specific bpf.h on a target system, because it doesn't use BPF_FUNC_xxx enums. v3->v4: - instead of libbpf's Makefile, integrate with selftest/bpf's Makefile (Alexei); v2->v3: - delete bpf_helper_defs.h properly (Alexei); v1->v2: - add bpf_helper_defs.h to .gitignore and `make clean` (Alexei). ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== Add bpf_object__open_file() and bpf_object__open_mem() APIs that use a new approach to providing future-proof non-ABI-breaking API changes. It relies on APIs accepting optional self-describing "opts" struct, containing its own size, filled out and provided by potentially outdated (as well as newer-than-libbpf) user application. A set of internal helper macros (OPTS_VALID, OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET) streamline and simplify a graceful handling forward and backward compatibility for user applications dynamically linked against different versions of libbpf shared library. Users of libbpf are provided with convenience macro LIBBPF_OPTS that takes care of populating correct structure size and zero-initializes options struct, which helps avoid obscure issues of unitialized padding. Uninitialized padding in a struct might turn into garbage-populated new fields understood by future versions of libbpf. Patch #1 removes enforcement of kern_version in libbpf and always populates correct one on behalf of users. Patch #2 defines necessary infrastructure for options and two new open APIs relying on it. Patch #3 fixes bug in bpf_object__name(). Patch #4 switches two of test_progs' tests to use new APIs as a validation that they work as expected. v2->v3: - fix LIBBPF_OPTS() to ensure zero-initialization of padded bytes; - pass through name override and relaxed maps flag for open_file() (Toke); - fix bpf_object__name() to actually return object name; - don't bother parsing and verifying version section (John); v1->v2: - use better approach for tracking last field in opts struct; - convert few tests to new APIs for validation; - fix bug with using offsetof(last_field) instead of offsetofend(last_field). ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Add new set of bpf_object__open APIs using new approach to optional parameters extensibility allowing simpler ABI compatibility approach. This patch demonstrates an approach to implementing libbpf APIs that makes it easy to extend existing APIs with extra optional parameters in such a way, that ABI compatibility is preserved without having to do symbol versioning and generating lots of boilerplate code to handle it. To facilitate succinct code for working with options, add OPTS_VALID, OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET macros that hide all the NULL, size, and zero checks. Additionally, newly added libbpf APIs are encouraged to follow similar pattern of having all mandatory parameters as formal function parameters and always have optional (NULL-able) xxx_opts struct, which should always have real struct size as a first field and the rest would be optional parameters added over time, which tune the behavior of existing API, if specified by user.

Kernel version enforcement for kprobes/kretprobes was removed from 5.0 kernel in 6c4fc209 ("bpf: remove useless version check for prog load"). Since then, BPF programs were specifying SEC("version") just to please libbpf. We should stop enforcing this in libbpf, if even kernel doesn't care. Furthermore, libbpf now will pre-populate current kernel version of the host system, in case we are still running on old kernel. This patch also removes __bpf_object__open_xattr from libbpf.h, as nothing in libbpf is relying on having it in that header. That function was never exported as LIBBPF_API and even name suggests its internal version. So this should be safe to remove, as it doesn't break ABI. Signed-off-by:

Due to a quirky C syntax of declaring pointers to array or function prototype, existing __type() macro doesn't work with map key/value types that are array or function prototype. One has to create a typedef first and use it to specify key/value type for a BPF map. By using typeof(), pointer to type is now handled uniformly for all kinds of types. Convert one of self-tests as a demonstration. Signed-off-by:

Replace 'cmp reg, 0' with 'test reg, reg' for comparisons against zero. Saves 1 byte of instruction encoding per occurrence. The flag results of test 'reg, reg' are identical to 'cmp reg, 0' in all cases except for AF which we don't use/care about. In terms of macro-fusibility in combination with a subsequent conditional jump instruction, both have the same properties for the jumps used in the JIT translation. For example, same JITed Cilium program can shrink a bit from e.g. 12,455 to 12,317 bytes as tests with 0 are used quite frequently. Signed-off-by:

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for netdevice name length. Now when we have PF and VF representors with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit: 0123456789012345 enp131s0f1npf0vf6 enp131s0f1npf0vf22 Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to create custom rules to handle them. Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code: * Type of names: * b<number> - BCMA bus core number * c<bus_id> - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device, * with all leading zeros stripped [s390] * o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] * - on-board device index number * s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] * - hotplug slot index number * x<MAC> - MAC address * [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>] * - PCI geographical location * [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>] * - USB port number chain * v<slot> - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM) * a<vendor><model>i<instance> - Platform bus ACPI instance id * i<addr>n<phys_port_name> - Netdevsim bus address and port name One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the same time (e.g. pci address/mac). This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces. Main goal is to: 1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes) 2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns) 3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties. Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan and tunnels being added/deleted to/from bridge ports.
