bpftool: Refactor kernel config reading into common helper

2025-09-02T15:20:54+00:00

Extract the kernel configuration file parsing logic from feature.c into a new read_kernel_config() function in common.c. This includes: 1. Moving the config file handling and option parsing code 2. Adding required headers and struct definition 3. Keeping all existing functionality The refactoring enables sharing this logic with other components while maintaining current behavior. This will be used by subsequent patches that need to check kernel config options.

bpftool: Use appropriate permissions for map access

2025-06-20T18:13:03+00:00

Modify several functions in tools/bpf/bpftool/common.c to allow specification of requested access for file descriptors, such as read-only access. Update bpftool to request only read access for maps when write access is not required. This fixes errors when reading from maps that are protected from modification via security_bpf_map.

bpftool: Using the right format specifiers

2025-03-17T20:50:56+00:00

Fixed some formatting specifiers errors, such as using %d for int and %u for unsigned int, as well as other byte-length types. Perform type cast using the type derived from the data type itself, for example, if it's originally an int, it will be cast to unsigned int if forced to unsigned.

bpftool: Fix readlink usage in get_fd_type

2025-02-03T11:33:51+00:00

The `readlink(path, buf, sizeof(buf))` call reads at most sizeof(buf) bytes and *does not* append null-terminator to buf. With respect to that, fix two pieces in get_fd_type: 1. Change the truncation check to contain sizeof(buf) rather than sizeof(path). 2. Append null-terminator to buf. Reported by Coverity.

bpftool: Un-const bpf_func_info to fix it for llvm 17 and newer

2024-05-21T17:36:28+00:00

LLVM 17 started treating const structs as constants: * https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/0b2d5b967d98 Combined with pointer laundering via ptr_to_u64, which takes a const ptr, but in reality treats the underlying memory as mutable, this makes clang always pass zero to btf__type_by_id, which breaks full name resolution. Disassembly before (LLVM 16) and after (LLVM 17): - 8b 75 cc mov -0x34(%rbp),%esi - e8 47 8d 02 00 call 3f5b0 + 31 f6 xor %esi,%esi + e8 a9 8c 02 00 call 3f510 It's a bigger project to fix this properly (and a question whether LLVM itself should detect this), but for right now let's just fix bpftool.

bpftool: Mount bpffs on provided dir instead of parent dir

2024-04-04T22:37:12+00:00

When pinning programs/objects under PATH (eg: during "bpftool prog loadall") the bpffs is mounted on the parent dir of PATH in the following situations: - the given dir exists but it is not bpffs. - the given dir doesn't exist and the parent dir is not bpffs. Mounting on the parent dir can also have the unintentional side- effect of hiding other files located under the parent dir. If the given dir exists but is not bpffs, then the bpffs should be mounted on the given dir and not its parent dir. Similarly, if the given dir doesn't exist and its parent dir is not bpffs, then the given dir should be created and the bpffs should be mounted on this new dir.

Changes since v3: - Rectify function name. - Improve error messages and formatting. - mount_bpffs_for_file: - Check if dir exists before block_mount check. Changes since v4: - Use strdup instead of strcpy. - create_and_mount_bpffs_dir: - Use S_IRWXU instead of 0700. - Improve error handling and formatting.

bpftool: Support bpffs mountpoint as pin path for prog loadall

2023-05-17T13:58:18+00:00

Currently, when using prog loadall and the pin path is a bpffs mountpoint, bpffs will be repeatedly mounted to the parent directory of the bpffs mountpoint path. For example, a `bpftool prog loadall test.o /sys/fs/bpf` will trigger this.

bpftool: Register struct_ops with a link.

2023-04-21T18:10:10+00:00

You can include an optional path after specifying the object name for the 'struct_ops register' subcommand. Since the commit 226bc6ae6405 ("Merge branch 'Transit between BPF TCP congestion controls.'") has been accepted, it is now possible to create a link for a struct_ops. This can be done by defining a struct_ops in SEC(".struct_ops.link") to make libbpf returns a real link. If we don't pin the links before leaving bpftool, they will disappear. To instruct bpftool to pin the links in a directory with the names of the maps, we need to provide the path of that directory.
