bpf tools: Add new API bpf_object__get_kversion()

2015-11-06T18:56:41+00:00

bpf_object__get_kversion() can be used to fetch value of object's 'version' section. Following patch will use it for error reporting.

bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reporting

2015-11-06T18:52:41+00:00

In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors. Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the CHECK_ERR() macro. All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them. bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will be improved by the following patch. load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid program or other problem. v1 -> v2: - Using macro for error code. - Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop. - Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD. In v1: # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o' \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object SKIP # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o' \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object SKIP # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_big_program.o' \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object SKIP In v2: # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o' \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading SKIP # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o' \___ Incorrect kernel version SKIP (Will be further improved by following patches) # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o event syntax error: './test_big_program.o' \___ Program too big SKIP Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1446817783-86722-2-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

bpf tools: New API to get name from a BPF object

2015-08-31T19:53:15+00:00

Before this patch there's no way to connect a loaded bpf object to its source file. However, during applying perf's '--filter' to BPF object, without this connection makes things harder, because perf loads all programs together, but '--filter' setting is for each object. The API of bpf_object__open_buffer() is changed to allow passing a name. Fortunately, at this time there's only one user of it (perf test LLVM), so we change it together.

bpf tools: Link all bpf objects onto a list

2015-08-07T13:16:59+00:00

To allow enumeration of all bpf_objects, keep them in a list (hidden to caller). bpf_object__for_each_safe() is introduced to do this iteration. It is safe even user close the object during iteration.

bpf tools: Introduce accessors for struct bpf_program

2015-08-07T13:16:59+00:00

This patch introduces accessors for user of libbpf to retrieve section name and fd of a opened/loaded eBPF program. 'struct bpf_prog_handler' is used for that purpose. Accessors of programs section name and file descriptor are provided. Set/get private data are also impelmented.

bpf tools: Load eBPF programs in object files into kernel

2015-08-07T13:16:59+00:00

This patch utilizes previous introduced bpf_load_program to load programs in the ELF file into kernel. Result is stored in 'fd' field in 'struct bpf_program'. During loading, it allocs a log buffer and free it before return. Note that that buffer is not passed to bpf_load_program() if the first loading try is successful. Doesn't use a statically allocated log buffer to avoid potention multi-thread problem. Instructions collected during opening is cleared after loading. load_program() is created for loading a 'struct bpf_insn' array into kernel, bpf_program__load() calls it. By this design we have a function loads instructions into kernel. It will be used by further patches, which creates different instances from a program and load them into kernel.

bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programs

2015-08-07T13:16:58+00:00

If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction which loads an absolute address into a register, like this: ld_64 r1, ... call 2 That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section. To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by eBPF map functions. This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by patches: 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section', 'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections' and 'bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program'. For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction. This is the final part of map relocation patch. The principle of map relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section'.

bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object file

2015-08-07T13:16:58+00:00

This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using bpf_create_map(), and stores the fds into an array in 'struct bpf_object'. Previous patches parse ELF object file and collects required data, but doesn't play with the kernel. They belong to the 'opening' phase. This patch is the first patch in 'loading' phase. The 'loaded' field is introduced in 'struct bpf_object' to avoid loading an object twice, because the loading phase clears resources collected during the opening which becomes useless after loading. In this patch, maps_buf is cleared.

bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program

2015-08-07T13:16:58+00:00

This patch records the indices of instructions which are needed to be relocated. That information is saved in the 'reloc_desc' field in 'struct bpf_program'. In the loading phase (this patch takes effect in the opening phase), the collected instructions will be replaced by map loading instructions. Since we are going to close the ELF file and clear all data at the end of the 'opening' phase, the ELF information will no longer be valid in the 'loading' phase. We have to locate the instructions before maps are loaded, instead of directly modifying the instruction. 'struct bpf_map_def' is introduced in this patch to let us know how many maps are defined in the object. This is the third part of map relocation. The principle of map relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section'.
