tools lib bpf: Introduce bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear()

2019-03-19T19:52:06Z

Currently, bpf_prog_info includes 9 arrays. The user has the option to fetch any combination of these arrays. However, this requires a lot of handling. This work becomes more tricky when we need to store bpf_prog_info to a file, because these arrays are allocated independently. This patch introduces 'struct bpf_prog_info_linear', which stores arrays of bpf_prog_info in continuous memory. Helper functions are introduced to unify the work to get different sets of bpf_prog_info. Specifically, bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear() allows the user to select which arrays to fetch, and handles details for the user. Please see the comments right before 'enum bpf_prog_info_array' for more details and examples.

libbpf: add support for using AF_XDP sockets

2019-02-25T22:21:42Z

This commit adds AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason for this is to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by offering higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the code from the sample application into their application, which is not desirable. The interface is composed of two parts: * Low-level access interface to the four rings and the packet * High-level control plane interface for creating and setting up umems and af_xdp sockets as well as a simple XDP program.

libbpf: Introduce bpf_object__btf

2019-02-15T14:20:54Z

Add new accessor for bpf_object to get opaque struct btf * from it. struct btf * is needed for all operations with BTF and it's present in bpf_object. The only thing missing is a way to get it. Example use-case is to get BTF key_type_id and value_type_id for a map in bpf_object. It can be done with btf__get_map_kv_tids() but that function requires struct btf *. Similar API can be added for struct btf_ext but no use-case for it yet. Signed-off-by: Andrey Ignatov Acked-by: Yonghong Song Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

libbpf: Introduce bpf_map__resize

2019-02-15T14:20:42Z

Add bpf_map__resize() to change max_entries for a map. Quite often necessary map size is unknown at compile time and can be calculated only at run time. Currently the following approach is used to do so: * bpf_object__open_buffer() to open Elf file from a buffer; * bpf_object__find_map_by_name() to find relevant map; * bpf_map__def() to get map attributes and create struct bpf_create_map_attr from them; * update max_entries in bpf_create_map_attr; * bpf_create_map_xattr() to create new map with updated max_entries; * bpf_map__reuse_fd() to replace the map in bpf_object with newly created one. And after all this bpf_object can finally be loaded. The map will have new size. It 1) is quite a lot of steps; 2) doesn't take BTF into account. For "2)" even more steps should be made and some of them require changes to libbpf (e.g. to get struct btf * from bpf_object). Instead the whole problem can be solved by introducing simple bpf_map__resize() API that checks the map and sets new max_entries if the map is not loaded yet. So the new steps are: * bpf_object__open_buffer() to open Elf file from a buffer; * bpf_object__find_map_by_name() to find relevant map; * bpf_map__resize() to update max_entries. That's much simpler and works with BTF. Signed-off-by: Andrey Ignatov Acked-by: Yonghong Song Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

tools/bpf: remove btf__get_strings() superseded by raw data API

2019-02-08T20:04:13Z

Now that we have btf__get_raw_data() it's trivial for tests to iterate over all strings for testing purposes, which eliminates the need for btf__get_strings() API. Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Acked-by: Yonghong Song Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

btf: expose API to work with raw btf_ext data

2019-02-08T20:04:13Z

This patch changes struct btf_ext to retain original data in sequential block of memory, which makes it possible to expose btf_ext__get_raw_data() interface similar to btf__get_raw_data(), allowing users of libbpf to get access to raw representation of .BTF.ext section.

btf: expose API to work with raw btf data

2019-02-08T20:04:13Z

This patch exposes new API btf__get_raw_data() that allows to get a copy of raw BTF data out of struct btf. This is useful for external programs that need to manipulate raw data, e.g., pahole using btf__dedup() to deduplicate BTF type info and then writing it back to file.

btf: separate btf creation and loading

2019-02-08T20:04:13Z

This change splits out previous btf__new functionality of constructing struct btf and loading it into kernel into two: - btf__new() just creates and initializes struct btf - btf__load() attempts to load existing struct btf into kernel btf__free will still close BTF fd, if it was ever loaded successfully into kernel. This change allows users of libbpf to manipulate BTF using its API, without the need to unnecessarily load it into kernel. One of the intended use cases is pahole, which will do DWARF to BTF conversion and then use libbpf to do type deduplication, while then handling ELF sections overwriting and other concerns on its own.

selftests/btf: add initial BTF dedup tests

btf: add BTF types deduplication algorithm

2019-02-05T15:52:57Z

This patch implements BTF types deduplication algorithm. It allows to greatly compress typical output of pahole's DWARF-to-BTF conversion or LLVM's compilation output by detecting and collapsing identical types emitted in isolation per compilation unit. Algorithm also resolves struct/union forward declarations into concrete BTF types representing referenced struct/union. If undesired, this resolution can be disabled through specifying corresponding options. Algorithm itself and its application to Linux kernel's BTF types is described in details at: https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/bpf/blog/2018/11/14/btf-enhancement.html Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann
