bpf: Add bpf_snprintf_btf helper
A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF
using the BPF Type Format (BTF). Its signature is
long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr,
u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags);
struct btf_ptr * specifies
- a pointer to the data to be traced
- the BTF id of the type of data pointed to
- a flags field is provided for future use; these flags
are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags
below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the
flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to
disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc;
the main distinction is the flags relate to the type
and information needed in identifying it; not how it
is displayed.
For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb
could do the following:
static struct btf_ptr b = { };
b.ptr = skb;
b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1);
bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0);
Default output looks like this:
(struct sk_buff){
.transport_header = (__u16)65535,
.mac_header = (__u16)65535,
.end = (sk_buff_data_t)192,
.head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
.data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
.truesize = (unsigned int)768,
.users = (refcount_t){
.refs = (atomic_t){
.counter = (int)1,
},
},
}
Flags modifying display are as follows:
- BTF_F_COMPACT: no formatting around type information
- BTF_F_NONAME: no struct/union member names/types
- BTF_F_PTR_RAW: show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values;
equivalent to %px.
- BTF_F_ZERO: show zero-valued struct/union members;
they are not displayed by default
