+:Manual section: 7
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+The extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) subsystem consists in programs
+written in a pseudo-assembly language, then attached to one of the several
+kernel hooks and run in reaction of specific events. This framework differs
+from the older, "classic" BPF (or "cBPF") in several aspects, one of them being
+the ability to call special functions (or "helpers") from within a program.
+These functions are restricted to a white-list of helpers defined in the
+kernel.
+
+These helpers are used by eBPF programs to interact with the system, or with
+the context in which they work. For instance, they can be used to print
+debugging messages, to get the time since the system was booted, to interact
+with eBPF maps, or to manipulate network packets. Since there are several eBPF
+program types, and that they do not run in the same context, each program type
+can only call a subset of those helpers.
+
+Due to eBPF conventions, a helper can not have more than five arguments.
+
+Internally, eBPF programs call directly into the compiled helper functions
+without requiring any foreign-function interface. As a result, calling helpers
+introduces no overhead, thus offering excellent performance.
+
+This document is an attempt to list and document the helpers available to eBPF
+developers. They are sorted by chronological order (the oldest helpers in the
+kernel at the top).
+
+HELPERS

+        print(header)
+
+    def print_footer(self):
+        footer = '''
+EXAMPLES
+========
+
+Example usage for most of the eBPF helpers listed in this manual page are
+available within the Linux kernel sources, at the following locations:
+
+* *samples/bpf/*
+* *tools/testing/selftests/bpf/*
+
+LICENSE
+=======
+
+eBPF programs can have an associated license, passed along with the bytecode
+instructions to the kernel when the programs are loaded. The format for that
+string is identical to the one in use for kernel modules (Dual licenses, such
+as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used). Some helper functions are only accessible to
+programs that are compatible with the GNU Privacy License (GPL).
+
+In order to use such helpers, the eBPF program must be loaded with the correct
+license string passed (via **attr**) to the **bpf**\ () system call, and this
+generally translates into the C source code of the program containing a line
+similar to the following:
+
+::
+
+	char ____license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
+
+IMPLEMENTATION
+==============
+
+This manual page is an effort to document the existing eBPF helper functions.
+But as of this writing, the BPF sub-system is under heavy development. New eBPF
+program or map types are added, along with new helper functions. Some helpers
+are occasionally made available for additional program types. So in spite of
+the efforts of the community, this page might not be up-to-date. If you want to
+check by yourself what helper functions exist in your kernel, or what types of
+programs they can support, here are some files among the kernel tree that you
+may be interested in:
+
+* *include/uapi/linux/bpf.h* is the main BPF header. It contains the full list
+  of all helper functions, as well as many other BPF definitions including most
+  of the flags, structs or constants used by the helpers.
+* *net/core/filter.c* contains the definition of most network-related helper
+  functions, and the list of program types from which they can be used.
+* *kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c* is the equivalent for most tracing program-related
+  helpers.
+* *kernel/bpf/verifier.c* contains the functions used to check that valid types
+  of eBPF maps are used with a given helper function.
+* *kernel/bpf/* directory contains other files in which additional helpers are
+  defined (for cgroups, sockmaps, etc.).
+
+Compatibility between helper functions and program types can generally be found
+in the files where helper functions are defined. Look for the **struct
+bpf_func_proto** objects and for functions returning them: these functions
+contain a list of helpers that a given program type can call. Note that the
+**default:** label of the **switch ... case** used to filter helpers can call
+other functions, themselves allowing access to additional helpers. The
+requirement for GPL license is also in those **struct bpf_func_proto**.
+
+Compatibility between helper functions and map types can be found in the
+**check_map_func_compatibility**\ () function in file *kernel/bpf/verifier.c*.
+
+Helper functions that invalidate the checks on **data** and **data_end**
+pointers for network processing are listed in function
+**bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data**\ () in file *net/core/filter.c*.
