-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
list of eBPF helper functions

: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).

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 General Public License (GNU 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.).
* 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 **bpftool feature probe** (see
  **bpftool-feature**\ (8) for details). Add the **unprivileged** keyword to
  list features available to unprivileged users.

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*.
