This framework differs +from the older, \[dq]classic\[dq] BPF (or \[dq]cBPF\[dq]) in several aspects, one of them being +the ability to call special functions (or \[dq]helpers\[dq]) from within a program. +These functions are restricted to a white\-list of helpers defined in the +kernel. +.sp +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. +.sp +Due to eBPF conventions, a helper can not have more than five arguments. +.sp +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. +.sp +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). +.SH HELPERS +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fBvoid *bpf_map_lookup_elem(struct bpf_map *\fP\fImap\fP\fB, const void *\fP\fIkey\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Perform a lookup in \fImap\fP for an entry associated to \fIkey\fP\&. +.TP +.B Return +Map value associated to \fIkey\fP, or \fBNULL\fP if no entry was +found. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_map_update_elem(struct bpf_map *\fP\fImap\fP\fB, const void *\fP\fIkey\fP\fB, const void *\fP\fIvalue\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Add or update the value of the entry associated to \fIkey\fP in +\fImap\fP with \fIvalue\fP\&. \fIflags\fP is one of: +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B \fBBPF_NOEXIST\fP +The entry for \fIkey\fP must not exist in the map. +.TP +.B \fBBPF_EXIST\fP +The entry for \fIkey\fP must already exist in the map. +.TP +.B \fBBPF_ANY\fP +No condition on the existence of the entry for \fIkey\fP\&. +.UNINDENT +.sp +Flag value \fBBPF_NOEXIST\fP cannot be used for maps of types +\fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY\fP or \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY\fP (all +elements always exist), the helper would return an error. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_map_delete_elem(struct bpf_map *\fP\fImap\fP\fB, const void *\fP\fIkey\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Delete entry with \fIkey\fP from \fImap\fP\&. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_probe_read(void *\fP\fIdst\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIsize\fP\fB, const void *\fP\fIunsafe_ptr\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +For tracing programs, safely attempt to read \fIsize\fP bytes from +kernel space address \fIunsafe_ptr\fP and store the data in \fIdst\fP\&. +.sp +Generally, use \fBbpf_probe_read_user\fP() or +\fBbpf_probe_read_kernel\fP() instead. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBu64 bpf_ktime_get_ns(void)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Return the time elapsed since system boot, in nanoseconds. +Does not include time the system was suspended. +See: \fBclock_gettime\fP(\fBCLOCK_MONOTONIC\fP) +.TP +.B Return +Current \fIktime\fP\&. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_trace_printk(const char *\fP\fIfmt\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIfmt_size\fP\fB, ...)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +This helper is a \[dq]printk()\-like\[dq] facility for debugging. It +prints a message defined by format \fIfmt\fP (of size \fIfmt_size\fP) +to file \fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace\fP from DebugFS, if +available. It can take up to three additional \fBu64\fP +arguments (as an eBPF helpers, the total number of arguments is +limited to five). +.sp +Each time the helper is called, it appends a line to the trace. +Lines are discarded while \fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace\fP is +open, use \fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe\fP to avoid this. +The format of the trace is customizable, and the exact output +one will get depends on the options set in +\fI/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options\fP (see also the +\fIREADME\fP file under the same directory). However, it usually +defaults to something like: +.INDENT 7.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +.sp +.nf +.ft C +telnet\-470 [001] .N.. 419421.045894: 0x00000001: <formatted msg> +.ft P +.fi +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.sp +In the above: +.INDENT 7.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +.INDENT 0.0 +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fBtelnet\fP is the name of the current task. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fB470\fP is the PID of the current task. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fB001\fP is the CPU number on which the task is +running. +.IP \[bu] 2 +In \fB\&.N..\fP, each character refers to a set of +options (whether irqs are enabled, scheduling +options, whether hard/softirqs are running, level of +preempt_disabled respectively). \fBN\fP means that +\fBTIF_NEED_RESCHED\fP and \fBPREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED\fP +are set. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fB419421.045894\fP is a timestamp. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fB0x00000001\fP is a fake value used by BPF for the +instruction pointer register. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fB<formatted msg>\fP is the message formatted with +\fIfmt\fP\&. +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.sp +The conversion specifiers supported by \fIfmt\fP are similar, but +more limited than for printk(). They are \fB%d\fP, \fB%i\fP, +\fB%u\fP, \fB%x\fP, \fB%ld\fP, \fB%li\fP, \fB%lu\fP, \fB%lx\fP, \fB%lld\fP, +\fB%lli\fP, \fB%llu\fP, \fB%llx\fP, \fB%p\fP, \fB%s\fP\&. No modifier (size +of field, padding with zeroes, etc.) is available, and the +helper will return \fB\-EINVAL\fP (but print nothing) if it +encounters an unknown specifier. +.sp +Also, note that \fBbpf_trace_printk\fP() is slow, and should +only be used for debugging purposes. For this reason, a notice +block (spanning several lines) is printed to kernel logs and +states that the helper should not be used \[dq]for production use\[dq] +the first time this helper is used (or more precisely, when +\fBtrace_printk\fP() buffers are allocated). For passing values +to user space, perf events should be preferred. +.TP +.B Return +The number of bytes written to the buffer, or a negative error +in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBu32 bpf_get_prandom_u32(void)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Get a pseudo\-random number. +.sp +From a security point of view, this helper uses its own +pseudo\-random internal state, and cannot be used to infer the +seed of other random functions in the kernel. However, it is +essential to note that the generator used by the helper is not +cryptographically secure. +.TP +.B Return +A random 32\-bit unsigned value. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBu32 bpf_get_smp_processor_id(void)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Get the SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) processor id. Note that +all programs run with migration disabled, which means that the +SMP processor id is stable during all the execution of the +program. +.TP +.B Return +The SMP id of the processor running the program. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_skb_store_bytes(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIoffset\fP\fB, const void *\fP\fIfrom\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIlen\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Store \fIlen\fP bytes from address \fIfrom\fP into the packet +associated to \fIskb\fP, at \fIoffset\fP\&. \fIflags\fP are a combination of +\fBBPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM\fP (automatically recompute the +checksum for the packet after storing the bytes) and +\fBBPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH\fP (set \fIskb\fP\fB\->hash\fP, \fIskb\fP\fB\->swhash\fP and \fIskb\fP\fB\->l4hash\fP to 0). +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers +previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be +performed again, if the helper is used in combination with +direct packet access. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_l3_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIoffset\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIfrom\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIto\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIsize\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Recompute the layer 3 (e.g. IP) checksum for the packet +associated to \fIskb\fP\&. Computation is incremental, so the helper +must know the former value of the header field that was +modified (\fIfrom\fP), the new value of this field (\fIto\fP), and the +number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored in \fIsize\fP\&. +Alternatively, it is possible to store the difference between +the previous and the new values of the header field in \fIto\fP, by +setting \fIfrom\fP and \fIsize\fP to 0. For both methods, \fIoffset\fP +indicates the location of the IP checksum within the packet. +.sp +This helper works in combination with \fBbpf_csum_diff\fP(), +which does not update the checksum in\-place, but offers more +flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the +checksum to update. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers +previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be +performed again, if the helper is used in combination with +direct packet access. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_l4_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIoffset\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIfrom\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIto\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Recompute the layer 4 (e.g. TCP, UDP or ICMP) checksum for the +packet associated to \fIskb\fP\&. Computation is incremental, so the +helper must know the former value of the header field that was +modified (\fIfrom\fP), the new value of this field (\fIto\fP), and the +number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored on the lowest +four bits of \fIflags\fP\&. Alternatively, it is possible to store +the difference between the previous and the new values of the +header field in \fIto\fP, by setting \fIfrom\fP and the four lowest +bits of \fIflags\fP to 0. For both methods, \fIoffset\fP indicates the +location of the IP checksum within the packet. In addition to +the size of the field, \fIflags\fP can be added (bitwise OR) actual +flags. With \fBBPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0\fP, a null checksum is left +untouched (unless \fBBPF_F_MARK_ENFORCE\fP is added as well), and +for updates resulting in a null checksum the value is set to +\fBCSUM_MANGLED_0\fP instead. Flag \fBBPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR\fP indicates +the checksum is to be computed against a pseudo\-header. +.sp +This helper works in combination with \fBbpf_csum_diff\fP(), +which does not update the checksum in\-place, but offers more +flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the +checksum to update. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers +previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be +performed again, if the helper is used in combination with +direct packet access. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_tail_call(void *\fP\fIctx\fP\fB, struct bpf_map *\fP\fIprog_array_map\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIindex\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +This special helper is used to trigger a \[dq]tail call\[dq], or in +other words, to jump into another eBPF program. The same stack +frame is used (but values on stack and in registers for the +caller are not accessible to the callee). This mechanism allows +for program chaining, either for raising the maximum number of +available eBPF instructions, or to execute given programs in +conditional blocks. For security reasons, there is an upper +limit to the number of successive tail calls that can be +performed. +.sp +Upon call of this helper, the program attempts to jump into a +program referenced at index \fIindex\fP in \fIprog_array_map\fP, a +special map of type \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY\fP, and passes +\fIctx\fP, a pointer to the context. +.sp +If the call succeeds, the kernel immediately runs the first +instruction of the new program. This is not a function call, +and it never returns to the previous program. If the call +fails, then the helper has no effect, and the caller continues +to run its subsequent instructions. A call can fail if the +destination program for the jump does not exist (i.e. \fIindex\fP +is superior to the number of entries in \fIprog_array_map\fP), or +if the maximum number of tail calls has been reached for this +chain of programs. This limit is defined in the kernel by the +macro \fBMAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT\fP (not accessible to user space), +which is currently set to 33. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_clone_redirect(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIifindex\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Clone and redirect the packet associated to \fIskb\fP to another +net device of index \fIifindex\fP\&. Both ingress and egress +interfaces can be used for redirection. The \fBBPF_F_INGRESS\fP +value in \fIflags\fP is used to make the distinction (ingress path +is selected if the flag is present, egress path otherwise). +This is the only flag supported for now. +.sp +In comparison with \fBbpf_redirect\fP() helper, +\fBbpf_clone_redirect\fP() has the associated cost of +duplicating the packet buffer, but this can be executed out of +the eBPF program. Conversely, \fBbpf_redirect\fP() is more +efficient, but it is handled through an action code where the +redirection happens only after the eBPF program has returned. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers +previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be +performed again, if the helper is used in combination with +direct packet access. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBu64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Get the current pid and tgid. +.TP +.B Return +A 64\-bit integer containing the current tgid and pid, and +created as such: +\fIcurrent_task\fP\fB\->tgid << 32 |\fP +\fIcurrent_task\fP\fB\->pid\fP\&. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBu64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Get the current uid and gid. +.TP +.B Return +A 64\-bit integer containing the current GID and UID, and +created as such: \fIcurrent_gid\fP \fB<< 32 |\fP \fIcurrent_uid\fP\&. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_get_current_comm(void *\fP\fIbuf\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIsize_of_buf\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Copy the \fBcomm\fP attribute of the current task into \fIbuf\fP of +\fIsize_of_buf\fP\&. The \fBcomm\fP attribute contains the name of +the executable (excluding the path) for the current task. The +\fIsize_of_buf\fP must be strictly positive. On success, the +helper makes sure that the \fIbuf\fP is NUL\-terminated. On failure, +it is filled with zeroes. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBu32 bpf_get_cgroup_classid(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Retrieve the classid for the current task, i.e. for the net_cls +cgroup to which \fIskb\fP belongs. +.sp +This helper can be used on TC egress path, but not on ingress. +.sp +The net_cls cgroup provides an interface to tag network packets +based on a user\-provided identifier for all traffic coming from +the tasks belonging to the related cgroup. See also the related +kernel documentation, available from the Linux sources in file +\fIDocumentation/admin\-guide/cgroup\-v1/net_cls.rst\fP\&. +.sp +The Linux kernel has two versions for cgroups: there are +cgroups v1 and cgroups v2. Both are available to users, who can +use a mixture of them, but note that the net_cls cgroup is for +cgroup v1 only. This makes it incompatible with BPF programs +run on cgroups, which is a cgroup\-v2\-only feature (a socket can +only hold data for one version of cgroups at a time). +.sp +This helper is only available is the kernel was compiled with +the \fBCONFIG_CGROUP_NET_CLASSID\fP configuration option set to +\[dq]\fBy\fP\[dq] or to \[dq]\fBm\fP\[dq]. +.TP +.B Return +The classid, or 0 for the default unconfigured classid. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_skb_vlan_push(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, __be16\fP \fIvlan_proto\fP\fB, u16\fP \fIvlan_tci\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Push a \fIvlan_tci\fP (VLAN tag control information) of protocol +\fIvlan_proto\fP to the packet associated to \fIskb\fP, then update +the checksum. Note that if \fIvlan_proto\fP is different from +\fBETH_P_8021Q\fP and \fBETH_P_8021AD\fP, it is considered to +be \fBETH_P_8021Q\fP\&. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers +previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be +performed again, if the helper is used in combination with +direct packet access. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_skb_vlan_pop(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Pop a VLAN header from the packet associated to \fIskb\fP\&. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers +previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be +performed again, if the helper is used in combination with +direct packet access. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, struct bpf_tunnel_key *\fP\fIkey\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIsize\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Get tunnel metadata. This helper takes a pointer \fIkey\fP to an +empty \fBstruct bpf_tunnel_key\fP of \fBsize\fP, that will be +filled with tunnel metadata for the packet associated to \fIskb\fP\&. +The \fIflags\fP can be set to \fBBPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6\fP, which +indicates that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol instead of +IPv4. +.sp +The \fBstruct bpf_tunnel_key\fP is an object that generalizes the +principal parameters used by various tunneling protocols into a +single struct. This way, it can be used to easily make a +decision based on the contents of the encapsulation header, +\[dq]summarized\[dq] in this struct. In particular, it holds the IP +address of the remote end (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the case) +in \fIkey\fP\fB\->remote_ipv4\fP or \fIkey\fP\fB\->remote_ipv6\fP\&. Also, +this struct exposes the \fIkey\fP\fB\->tunnel_id\fP, which is +generally mapped to a VNI (Virtual Network Identifier), making +it programmable together with the \fBbpf_skb_set_tunnel_key\fP() helper. +.sp +Let\[aq]s imagine that the following code is part of a program +attached to the TC ingress interface, on one end of a GRE +tunnel, and is supposed to filter out all messages coming from +remote ends with IPv4 address other than 10.0.0.1: +.INDENT 7.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +.sp +.nf +.ft C +int ret; +struct bpf_tunnel_key key = {}; + +ret = bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0); +if (ret < 0) + return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet + +if (key.remote_ipv4 != 0x0a000001) + return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet + +return TC_ACT_OK; // accept packet +.ft P +.fi +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.sp +This interface can also be used with all encapsulation devices +that can operate in \[dq]collect metadata\[dq] mode: instead of having +one network device per specific configuration, the \[dq]collect +metadata\[dq] mode only requires a single device where the +configuration can be extracted from this helper. +.sp +This can be used together with various tunnels such as VXLan, +Geneve, GRE or IP in IP (IPIP). +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *\fP\fIskb\fP\fB, struct bpf_tunnel_key *\fP\fIkey\fP\fB, u32\fP \fIsize\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Populate tunnel metadata for packet associated to \fIskb.\fP The +tunnel metadata is set to the contents of \fIkey\fP, of \fIsize\fP\&. The +\fIflags\fP can be set to a combination of the following values: +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B \fBBPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6\fP +Indicate that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol +instead of IPv4. +.TP +.B \fBBPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX\fP +For IPv4 packets, add a flag to tunnel metadata +indicating that checksum computation should be skipped +and checksum set to zeroes. +.TP +.B \fBBPF_F_DONT_FRAGMENT\fP +Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that the +packet should not be fragmented. +.TP +.B \fBBPF_F_SEQ_NUMBER\fP +Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that a +sequence number should be added to tunnel header before +sending the packet. This flag was added for GRE +encapsulation, but might be used with other protocols +as well in the future. +.UNINDENT +.sp +Here is a typical usage on the transmit path: +.INDENT 7.0 +.INDENT 3.5 +.sp +.nf +.ft C +struct bpf_tunnel_key key; + populate key ... +bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0); +bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0); +.ft P +.fi +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.sp +See also the description of the \fBbpf_skb_get_tunnel_key\fP() +helper for additional information. +.TP +.B Return +0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBu64 bpf_perf_event_read(struct bpf_map *\fP\fImap\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Read the value of a perf event counter. This helper relies on a +\fImap\fP of type \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY\fP\&. The nature of +the perf event counter is selected when \fImap\fP is updated with +perf event file descriptors. The \fImap\fP is an array whose size +is the number of available CPUs, and each cell contains a value +relative to one CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by +\fIflags\fP, that contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked +with \fBBPF_F_INDEX_MASK\fP\&. Alternatively, \fIflags\fP can be set to +\fBBPF_F_CURRENT_CPU\fP to indicate that the value for the +current CPU should be retrieved. +.sp +Note that before Linux 4.13, only hardware perf event can be +retrieved. +.sp +Also, be aware that the newer helper +\fBbpf_perf_event_read_value\fP() is recommended over +\fBbpf_perf_event_read\fP() in general. The latter has some ABI +quirks where error and counter value are used as a return code +(which is wrong to do since ranges may overlap). This issue is +fixed with \fBbpf_perf_event_read_value\fP(), which at the same +time provides more features over the \fBbpf_perf_event_read\fP() interface.

The \fBBPF_F_INGRESS\fP value in \fIflags\fP is used +to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag +is present, egress path otherwise). Currently, XDP only +supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no +flag at all. +.sp +The same effect can also be attained with the more generic +\fBbpf_redirect_map\fP(), which uses a BPF map to store the +redirect target instead of providing it directly to the helper. +.TP +.B Return +For XDP, the helper returns \fBXDP_REDIRECT\fP on success or +\fBXDP_ABORTED\fP on error.

The +identifier retrieved is a user\-provided tag, similar to the +one used with the net_cls cgroup (see description for +\fBbpf_get_cgroup_classid\fP() helper), but here this tag is +held by a route (a destination entry), not by a task. +.sp +Retrieving this identifier works with the clsact TC egress hook +(see also \fBtc\-bpf(8)\fP), or alternatively on conventional +classful egress qdiscs, but not on TC ingress path. In case of +clsact TC egress hook, this has the advantage that, internally, +the destination entry has not been dropped yet in the transmit +path. Therefore, the destination entry does not need to be +artificially held via \fBnetif_keep_dst\fP() for a classful +qdisc until the \fIskb\fP is freed. +.sp +This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with +\fBCONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID\fP configuration option. +.TP +.B Return +The realm of the route for the packet associated to \fIskb\fP, or 0 +if none was found. +.UNINDENT +.TP +.B \fBlong bpf_perf_event_output(void *\fP\fIctx\fP\fB, struct bpf_map *\fP\fImap\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIflags\fP\fB, void *\fP\fIdata\fP\fB, u64\fP \fIsize\fP\fB)\fP +.INDENT 7.0 +.TP +.B Description +Write raw \fIdata\fP blob into a special BPF perf event held by +\fImap\fP of type \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY\fP\&.

This must be done before the eBPF program can send data +into it. An example is available in file +\fIsamples/bpf/trace_output_user.c\fP in the Linux kernel source +tree (the eBPF program counterpart is in +\fIsamples/bpf/trace_output_kern.c\fP). +.sp +\fBbpf_perf_event_output\fP() achieves better performance +than \fBbpf_trace_printk\fP() for sharing data with user +space, and is much better suitable for streaming data from eBPF +programs. +.sp +Note that this helper is not restricted to tracing use cases +and can be used with programs attached to TC or XDP as well, +where it allows for passing data to user space listeners.

It can be used to load \fIlen\fP bytes from \fIoffset\fP from +the packet associated to \fIskb\fP, into the buffer pointed by +\fIto\fP\&. +.sp +Since Linux 4.7, usage of this helper has mostly been replaced +by \[dq]direct packet access\[dq], enabling packet data to be +manipulated with \fIskb\fP\fB\->data\fP and \fIskb\fP\fB\->data_end\fP +pointing respectively to the first byte of packet data and to +the byte after the last byte of packet data.

This can be useful for +generating a variety of graphs (such as flame graphs or off\-cpu +graphs). +.sp +For walking a stack, this helper is an improvement over +\fBbpf_probe_read\fP(), which can be used with unrolled loops +but is not efficient and consumes a lot of eBPF instructions. +Instead, \fBbpf_get_stackid\fP() can collect up to +\fBPERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH\fP both kernel and user frames. Note that +this limit can be controlled with the \fBsysctl\fP program, and +that it should be manually increased in order to profile long +user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs).

An optional \fIseed\fP can be added to the value +(this can be cascaded, the seed may come from a previous call +to the helper). +.sp +This is flexible enough to be used in several ways: +.INDENT 7.0 +.IP \[bu] 2 +With \fIfrom_size\fP == 0, \fIto_size\fP > 0 and \fIseed\fP set to +checksum, it can be used when pushing new data. +.IP \[bu] 2 +With \fIfrom_size\fP > 0, \fIto_size\fP == 0 and \fIseed\fP set to +checksum, it can be used when removing data from a packet. +.IP \[bu] 2 +With \fIfrom_size\fP > 0, \fIto_size\fP > 0 and \fIseed\fP set to 0, it +can be used to compute a diff.

Currently +supported are transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and from IPv6 to +IPv4. The helper takes care of the groundwork for the +transition, including resizing the socket buffer. The eBPF +program is expected to fill the new headers, if any, via +\fBskb_store_bytes\fP() and to recompute the checksums with +\fBbpf_l3_csum_replace\fP() and \fBbpf_l4_csum_replace\fP(). The main case for this helper is to perform NAT64 +operations out of an eBPF program. +.sp +Internally, the GSO type is marked as dodgy so that headers are +checked and segments are recalculated by the GSO/GRO engine. +The size for GSO target is adapted as well. +.sp +All values for \fIflags\fP are reserved for future usage, and must +be left at zero. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer.

The \fIflags\fP are reserved for future usage, and must +be left at zero. +.sp +The basic idea is that the helper performs the needed work to +change the size of the packet, then the eBPF program rewrites +the rest via helpers like \fBbpf_skb_store_bytes\fP(), +\fBbpf_l3_csum_replace\fP(), \fBbpf_l3_csum_replace\fP() +and others. This helper is a slow path utility intended for +replies with control messages. And because it is targeted for +slow path, the helper itself can afford to be slow: it +implicitly linearizes, unclones and drops offloads from the +\fIskb\fP\&. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer.

Make \fIlen\fP bytes +from \fIskb\fP readable and writable. If a zero value is passed for +\fIlen\fP, then all bytes in the linear part of \fIskb\fP will be made +readable and writable. +.sp +This helper is only needed for reading and writing with direct +packet access. +.sp +For direct packet access, testing that offsets to access +are within packet boundaries (test on \fIskb\fP\fB\->data_end\fP) is +susceptible to fail if offsets are invalid, or if the requested +data is in non\-linear parts of the \fIskb\fP\&. On failure the +program can just bail out, or in the case of a non\-linear +buffer, use a helper to make the data available. The +\fBbpf_skb_load_bytes\fP() helper is a first solution to access +the data. Another one consists in using \fBbpf_skb_pull_data\fP +to pull in once the non\-linear parts, then retesting and +eventually access the data. +.sp +At the same time, this also makes sure the \fIskb\fP is uncloned, +which is a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs +to be an invariant for the write part only, the verifier +detects writes and adds a prologue that is calling +\fBbpf_skb_pull_data()\fP to effectively unclone the \fIskb\fP from +the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer.

The rationale is that when the +packet is processed with XDP (e.g. as DoS filter), it is +possible to push further meta data along with it before passing +to the stack, and to give the guarantee that an ingress eBPF +program attached as a TC classifier on the same device can pick +this up for further post\-processing. Since TC works with socket +buffers, it remains possible to set from XDP the \fBmark\fP or +\fBpriority\fP pointers, or other pointers for the socket buffer. +Having this scratch space generic and programmable allows for +more flexibility as the user is free to store whatever meta +data they need. +.sp +A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying +packet buffer.

This helper relies on a \fImap\fP of type +\fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY\fP\&. The nature of the perf event +counter is selected when \fImap\fP is updated with perf event file +descriptors. The \fImap\fP is an array whose size is the number of +available CPUs, and each cell contains a value relative to one +CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by \fIflags\fP, that +contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked with +\fBBPF_F_INDEX_MASK\fP\&. Alternatively, \fIflags\fP can be set to +\fBBPF_F_CURRENT_CPU\fP to indicate that the value for the +current CPU should be retrieved. +.sp +This helper behaves in a way close to +\fBbpf_perf_event_read\fP() helper, save that instead of +just returning the value observed, it fills the \fIbuf\fP +structure. This allows for additional data to be retrieved: in +particular, the enabled and running times (in \fIbuf\fP\fB\->enabled\fP and \fIbuf\fP\fB\->running\fP, respectively) are +copied. In general, \fBbpf_perf_event_read_value\fP() is +recommended over \fBbpf_perf_event_read\fP(), which has some +ABI issues and provides fewer functionalities. +.sp +These values are interesting, because hardware PMU (Performance +Monitoring Unit) counters are limited resources. When there are +more PMU based perf events opened than available counters, +kernel will multiplex these events so each event gets certain +percentage (but not all) of the PMU time. In case that +multiplexing happens, the number of samples or counter value +will not reflect the case compared to when no multiplexing +occurs. This makes comparison between different runs difficult. +Typically, the counter value should be normalized before +comparing to other experiments.

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. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fInet/core/filter.c\fP contains the definition of most network\-related helper +functions, and the list of program types from which they can be used. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fIkernel/trace/bpf_trace.c\fP is the equivalent for most tracing program\-related +helpers. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fIkernel/bpf/verifier.c\fP contains the functions used to check that valid types +of eBPF maps are used with a given helper function. +.IP \[bu] 2 +\fIkernel/bpf/\fP directory contains other files in which additional helpers are +defined (for cgroups, sockmaps, etc.). +.IP \[bu] 2 +The bpftool utility can be used to probe the availability of helper functions +on the system (as well as supported program and map types, and a number of +other parameters). To do so, run \fBbpftool feature probe\fP (see +\fBbpftool\-feature\fP(8) for details). Add the \fBunprivileged\fP keyword to +list features available to unprivileged users. +.UNINDENT +.sp +Compatibility between helper functions and program types can generally be found +in the files where helper functions are defined. Look for the \fBstruct +bpf_func_proto\fP objects and for functions returning them: these functions +contain a list of helpers that a given program type can call. Note that the +\fBdefault:\fP label of the \fBswitch ... case\fP used to filter helpers can call +other functions, themselves allowing access to additional helpers. The +requirement for GPL license is also in those \fBstruct bpf_func_proto\fP\&. +.sp +Compatibility between helper functions and map types can be found in the +\fBcheck_map_func_compatibility\fP() function in file \fIkernel/bpf/verifier.c\fP\&. +.sp +Helper functions that invalidate the checks on \fBdata\fP and \fBdata_end\fP +pointers for network processing are listed in function +\fBbpf_helper_changes_pkt_data\fP() in file \fInet/core/filter.c\fP\&. +.SH SEE ALSO +.sp +\fBbpf\fP(2), +\fBbpftool\fP(8), +\fBcgroups\fP(7), +\fBip\fP(8), +\fBperf_event_open\fP(2), +\fBsendmsg\fP(2), +\fBsocket\fP(7), +\fBtc\-bpf\fP(8) +.\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. +. |
