+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+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, \(dqclassic\(dq BPF (or \(dqcBPF\(dq) in several aspects, one of them being
+the ability to call special functions (or \(dqhelpers\(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).

+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B Description
+This helper is a \(dqprintk()\-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: <fmt>

+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<fmt>\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 \(dqfor 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.

+.UNINDENT

+.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 \(dqtail 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.

+.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,
+\(dqsummarized\(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\(aqs 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:

+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

+Also, be aware that the newer helper
+\fBbpf_perf_event_read_value\fP() is recommended over

+This helper is somewhat similar to \fBbpf_clone_redirect\fP(), except that the packet is not cloned, which provides

+.sp
+Except for XDP, 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

+supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no

+\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

+.sp
+The \fIflags\fP are used to indicate the index in \fImap\fP for which

+Alternatively, \fIflags\fP can be set to \fBBPF_F_CURRENT_CPU\fP
+to indicate that the index of the current CPU core should be
+used.

+The value to write, of \fIsize\fP, is passed through eBPF stack and
+pointed by \fIdata\fP\&.
+.sp
+The context of the program \fIctx\fP needs also be passed to the

+.sp
+On user space, a program willing to read the values needs to
+call \fBperf_event_open\fP() on the perf event (either for
+one or for all CPUs) and to store the file descriptor into the
+\fImap\fP\&. This must be done before the eBPF program can send data
+into it. An example is available in file

+.B Description
+Walk a user or a kernel stack and return its id. To achieve
+this, the helper needs \fIctx\fP, which is a pointer to the context
+on which the tracing program is executed, and a pointer to a
+\fImap\fP of type \fBBPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE\fP\&.
+.sp
+The last argument, \fIflags\fP, holds the number of stack frames to

+The stack id retrieved is a 32 bit long integer handle which

+.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.

+Change the protocol of the \fIskb\fP to \fIproto\fP\&. Currently

+\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

+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

+.sp
+At the same time, this also makes sure the \fIskb\fP is uncloned,

+.sp
+This helper behaves in a way close to

+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

+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

+.TP
+.B Description
+For socket policies, apply the verdict of the eBPF program to
+the next \fIbytes\fP (number of bytes) of message \fImsg\fP\&.
+.sp
+For example, this helper can be used in the following cases:
+.INDENT 7.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+A single \fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() system call
+contains multiple logical messages that the eBPF program is
+supposed to read and for which it should apply a verdict.
+.IP \(bu 2
+An eBPF program only cares to read the first \fIbytes\fP of a
+\fImsg\fP\&. If the message has a large payload, then setting up
+and calling the eBPF program repeatedly for all bytes, even
+though the verdict is already known, would create unnecessary
+overhead.
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+When called from within an eBPF program, the helper sets a
+counter internal to the BPF infrastructure, that is used to
+apply the last verdict to the next \fIbytes\fP\&. If \fIbytes\fP is
+smaller than the current data being processed from a
+\fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() system call, the first
+\fIbytes\fP will be sent and the eBPF program will be re\-run with
+the pointer for start of data pointing to byte number \fIbytes\fP
+\fB+ 1\fP\&. If \fIbytes\fP is larger than the current data being
+processed, then the eBPF verdict will be applied to multiple
+\fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() calls until \fIbytes\fP are
+consumed.
+.sp
+Note that if a socket closes with the internal counter holding
+a non\-zero value, this is not a problem because data is not
+being buffered for \fIbytes\fP and is sent as it is received.

+.TP
+.B Description
+For socket policies, prevent the execution of the verdict eBPF
+program for message \fImsg\fP until \fIbytes\fP (byte number) have been
+accumulated.
+.sp
+This can be used when one needs a specific number of bytes
+before a verdict can be assigned, even if the data spans
+multiple \fBsendmsg\fP() or \fBsendfile\fP() calls. The extreme
+case would be a user calling \fBsendmsg\fP() repeatedly with
+1\-byte long message segments. Obviously, this is bad for
+performance, but it is still valid. If the eBPF program needs
+\fIbytes\fP bytes to validate a header, this helper can be used to
+prevent the eBPF program to be called again until \fIbytes\fP have
+been accumulated.

+respectively.
+.sp
+If a program of type \fBBPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG\fP is run on a
+\fImsg\fP it can only parse data that the (\fBdata\fP, \fBdata_end\fP)
+pointers have already consumed. For \fBsendmsg\fP() hooks this
+is likely the first scatterlist element. But for calls relying
+on the \fBsendpage\fP handler (e.g. \fBsendfile\fP()) this will
+be the range (\fB0\fP, \fB0\fP) because the data is shared with
+user space and by default the objective is to avoid allowing
+user space to modify data while (or after) eBPF verdict is
+being decided. This helper can be used to pull in data and to
+set the start and end pointer to given values. Data will be
+copied if necessary (i.e. if data was not linear and if start
+and end pointers do not point to the same chunk).

+.B Description
+Check packet size against exceeding MTU of net device (based
+on \fIifindex\fP). This helper will likely be used in combination
+with helpers that adjust/change the packet size.
+.sp
+The argument \fIlen_diff\fP can be used for querying with a planned
+size change. This allows to check MTU prior to changing packet
+ctx. Providing a \fIlen_diff\fP adjustment that is larger than the
+actual packet size (resulting in negative packet size) will in
+principle not exceed the MTU, which is why it is not considered
+a failure. Other BPF helpers are needed for performing the
+planned size change; therefore the responsibility for catching
+a negative packet size belongs in those helpers.
+.sp
+Specifying \fIifindex\fP zero means the MTU check is performed
+against the current net device. This is practical if this isn\(aqt
+used prior to redirect.
+.sp
+On input \fImtu_len\fP must be a valid pointer, else verifier will
+reject BPF program. If the value \fImtu_len\fP is initialized to
+zero then the ctx packet size is use. When value \fImtu_len\fP is
+provided as input this specify the L3 length that the MTU check
+is done against. Remember XDP and TC length operate at L2, but
+this value is L3 as this correlate to MTU and IP\-header tot_len
+values which are L3 (similar behavior as bpf_fib_lookup).
+.sp
+The Linux kernel route table can configure MTUs on a more
+specific per route level, which is not provided by this helper.
+For route level MTU checks use the \fBbpf_fib_lookup\fP()
+helper.
+.sp
+\fIctx\fP is either \fBstruct xdp_md\fP for XDP programs or
+\fBstruct sk_buff\fP for tc cls_act programs.
+.sp
+The \fIflags\fP argument can be a combination of one or more of the
+following values:
+.INDENT 7.0
+.TP
+.B \fBBPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS\fP
+This flag will only works for \fIctx\fP \fBstruct sk_buff\fP\&.
+If packet context contains extra packet segment buffers
+(often knows as GSO skb), then MTU check is harder to
+check at this point, because in transmit path it is
+possible for the skb packet to get re\-segmented
+(depending on net device features). This could still be
+a MTU violation, so this flag enables performing MTU
+check against segments, with a different violation
+return code to tell it apart. Check cannot use len_diff.
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+On return \fImtu_len\fP pointer contains the MTU value of the net
+device. Remember the net device configured MTU is the L3 size,

+.sp
+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:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+\fIinclude/uapi/linux/bpf.h\fP 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.
+.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\&.

+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\&.
