2024-05-15bpf, docs: Fix the description of 'src' in ALU instructionsPuranjay Mohan1-2/+3
An ALU instruction's source operand can be the value in the source register or the 32-bit immediate value encoded in the instruction. This is controlled by the 's' bit of the 'opcode'. The current description explicitly uses the phrase 'value of the source register' when defining the meaning of 'src'. Change the description to use 'source operand' in place of 'value of the source register'.

2024-03-03bpf, docs: Use IETF format for field definitions in instruction-set.rstDave Thaler1-241/+290
In preparation for publication as an IETF RFC, the WG chairs asked me to convert the document to use IETF packet format for field layout, so this patch attempts to make it consistent with other IETF documents. Some fields that are not byte aligned were previously inconsistent in how values were defined. Some were defined as the value of the byte containing the field (like 0x20 for a field holding the high four bits of the byte), and others were defined as the value of the field itself (like 0x2). This PR makes them be consistent in using just the values of the field itself, which is IETF convention. As a result, some of the defines that used BPF_* would no longer match the value in the spec, and so this patch also drops the BPF_* prefix to avoid confusion with the defines that are the full-byte equivalent values. For consistency, BPF_* is then dropped from other fields too. BPF_<foo> is thus the Linux implementation-specific define for <foo> as it appears in the BPF ISA specification. The syntax BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU only worked for full-byte values so the convention {ADD, X, ALU} is proposed for referring to field values instead. Also replace the redundant "LSB bits" with "least significant bits".

2024-03-01bpf: Replace bpf_lpm_trie_key 0-length array with flexible arrayKees Cook1-1/+1

For example, in Cilium: struct egress_gw_policy_key { struct bpf_lpm_trie_key lpm_key; __u32 saddr; __u32 daddr; }; While direct references to the "data" member haven't been found, there are static initializers what include the final member. For example, the "{}" here: struct egress_gw_policy_key in_key = { .lpm_key = { 32 + 24, {} }, .saddr = CLIENT_IP, .daddr = EXTERNAL_SVC_IP & 0Xffffff, }; To avoid the build time and run time warnings seen with a 0-sized trailing array for struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, introduce a new struct that correctly uses a flexible array for the trailing bytes, struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8. As part of this, include the "header" portion (which is just the "prefixlen" member), so it can be used by anything building a bpf_lpr_trie_key that has trailing members that aren't a u8 flexible array (like the self-test[1]), which is named struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr. Unfortunately, C++ refuses to parse the __struct_group() helper, so it is not possible to define struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr directly in struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8, so we must open-code the union directly. Adjust the kernel code to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8 through-out, and for the selftest to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr. Add a comment to the UAPI header directing folks to the two new options.

2024-02-01bpf: treewide: Annotate BPF kfuncs in BTFDaniel Xu1-4/+4
This commit marks kfuncs as such inside the .BTF_ids section. The upshot of these annotations is that we'll be able to automatically generate kfunc prototypes for downstream users. The process is as follows: 1. In source, use BTF_KFUNCS_START/END macro pair to mark kfuncs 2. During build, pahole injects into BTF a "bpf_kfunc" BTF_DECL_TAG for each function inside BTF_KFUNCS sets 3. At runtime, vmlinux or module BTF is made available in sysfs 4. At runtime, bpftool (or similar) can look at provided BTF and generate appropriate prototypes for functions with "bpf_kfunc" tag To ensure future kfunc are similarly tagged, we now also return error inside kfunc registration for untagged kfuncs. For vmlinux kfuncs, we also WARN(), as initcall machinery does not handle errors.

2024-01-29docs/bpf: Improve documentation of 64-bit immediate instructionsYonghong Song1-9/+4
For 64-bit immediate instruction, 'BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD' and src_reg=[0-6], the current documentation describes the 64-bit immediate is constructed by: imm64 = (next_imm << 32) | imm But actually imm64 is only used when src_reg=0. For all other variants (src_reg != 0), 'imm' and 'next_imm' have separate special encoding requirement and imm64 cannot be easily used to describe instruction semantics. This patch clarifies that 64-bit immediate instructions use two 32-bit immediate values instead of a 64-bit immediate value, so later describing individual 64-bit immediate instructions becomes less confusing.

2023-11-02bpf: Add __bpf_kfunc_{start,end}_defs macrosDave Marchevsky1-4/+2
BPF kfuncs are meant to be called from BPF programs. Accordingly, most kfuncs are not called from anywhere in the kernel, which the -Wmissing-prototypes warning is unhappy about. We've peppered __diag_ignore_all("-Wmissing-prototypes", ... everywhere kfuncs are defined in the codebase to suppress this warning. This patch adds two macros meant to bound one or many kfunc definitions. All existing kfunc definitions which use these __diag calls to suppress -Wmissing-prototypes are migrated to use the newly-introduced macros. A new __diag_ignore_all - for "-Wmissing-declarations" - is added to the __bpf_kfunc_start_defs macro based on feedback from Andrii on an earlier version of this patch [0] and another recent mailing list thread [1]. In the future we might need to ignore different warnings or do other kfunc-specific things. This change will make it easier to make such modifications for all kfunc defs.

There isn't really anything other than just "BPF" at this point, so referring to it as "eBPF" in our standards document just causes unnecessary confusion. Let's just be consistent and use "BPF".

2023-08-30bpf, docs: Add abi.rst document to standardization subdirectoryDavid Vernet3-16/+26
As specified in the IETF BPF charter, the BPF working group has plans to add one or more informational documents that recommend conventions and guidelines for producing portable BPF program binaries. The instruction-set.rst document currently contains a "Registers and calling convention" subsection which dictates a calling convention that belongs in an ABI document, rather than an instruction set document. Let's move it to a new abi.rst document so we can clean it up. The abi.rst document will of course be significantly changed and expanded upon over time. For now, it's really just a placeholder which will contain ABI-specific language that doesn't belong in other documents.

2023-07-11bpf,docs: Create new standardization subdirectoryDavid Vernet4-3/+21
The BPF standardization effort is actively underway with the IETF. As described in the BPF Working Group (WG) charter in [0], there are a number of proposed documents, some informational and some proposed standards, that will be drafted as part of the standardization effort. [0]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/bpf/about/ Though the specific documents that will formally be standardized will exist as Internet Drafts (I-D) and WG documents in the BPF WG datatracker page, the source of truth from where those documents will be generated will reside in the kernel documentation tree (originating in the bpf-next tree). Because these documents will be used to generate the I-D and WG documents which will be standardized with the IETF, they are a bit special as far as kernel-tree documentation goes: - They will be dual licensed with LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause - IETF I-D and WG documents (the documents which will actually be standardized) will be auto-generated from these documents. In order to keep things clearly organized in the BPF documentation tree, and to make it abundantly clear where standards-related documentation needs to go, we should move standards-relevant documents into a separate standardization/ subdirectory.
