2022-06-03bpftool: Use libbpf_bpf_attach_type_strDaniel Müller1-5/+11
This change switches bpftool over to using the recently introduced libbpf_bpf_attach_type_str function instead of maintaining its own string representation for the bpf_attach_type enum. Note that contrary to other enum types, the variant names that bpftool maps bpf_attach_type to do not adhere a simple to follow rule. With bpf_prog_type, for example, the textual representation can easily be inferred by stripping the BPF_PROG_TYPE_ prefix and lowercasing the remaining string. bpf_attach_type violates this rule for various variants. We decided to fix up this deficiency with this change, meaning that bpftool uses the same textual representations as libbpf. Supporting tests, completion scripts, and man pages have been adjusted accordingly. However, we did add support for accepting (the now undocumented) original attach type names when they are provided by users. For the test (test_bpftool_synctypes.py), I have removed the enum representation checks, because we no longer mirror the various enum variant names in bpftool source code. For the man page, help text, and completion script checks we are now using enum definitions from uapi/linux/bpf.h as the source of truth directly.

2021-11-16bpftool: Update doc (use susbtitutions) and test_bpftool_synctypes.pyQuentin Monnet1-2/+3
test_bpftool_synctypes.py helps detecting inconsistencies in bpftool between the different list of types and options scattered in the sources, the documentation, and the bash completion. For options that apply to all bpftool commands, the script had a hardcoded list of values, and would use them to check whether the man pages are up-to-date. When writing the script, it felt acceptable to have this list in order to avoid to open and parse bpftool's main.h every time, and because the list of global options in bpftool doesn't change so often. However, this is prone to omissions, and we recently added a new -l|--legacy option which was described in common_options.rst, but not listed in the options summary of each manual page. The script did not complain, because it keeps comparing the hardcoded list to the (now) outdated list in the header file. To address the issue, this commit brings the following changes: - Options that are common to all bpftool commands (--json, --pretty, and --debug) are moved to a dedicated file, and used in the definition of a RST substitution. This substitution is used in the sources of all the man pages. - This list of common options is updated, with the addition of the new -l|--legacy option. - The script test_bpftool_synctypes.py is updated to compare: - Options specific to a command, found in C files, for the interactive help messages, with the same specific options from the relevant man page for that command. - Common options, checked just once: the list in main.h is compared with the new list in substitutions.rst.

2021-11-16bpftool: Add SPDX tags to RST documentation filesQuentin Monnet1-0/+2
Most files in the kernel repository have a SPDX tags. The files that don't have such a tag (or another license boilerplate) tend to fall under the GPL-2.0 license. In the past, bpftool's Makefile (for example) has been marked as GPL-2.0 for that reason, when in fact all bpftool is dual-licensed. To prevent a similar confusion from happening with the RST documentation files for bpftool, let's explicitly mark all files as dual-licensed.

2021-11-15bpftool: Fix indent in option lists in the documentationQuentin Monnet1-1/+1
Mixed indentation levels in the lists of options in bpftool's documentation produces some unexpected results. For the "bpftool" man page, it prints a warning: $ make -C bpftool.8 GEN bpftool.8 <stdin>:26: (ERROR/3) Unexpected indentation. For other pages, there is no warning, but it results in a line break appearing in the option lists in the generated man pages. RST paragraphs should have a uniform indentation level. Let's fix it.

2021-07-31tools: bpftool: Update and synchronise option list in doc and help msgQuentin Monnet1-1/+2
All bpftool commands support the options for JSON output and debug from libbpf. In addition, some commands support additional options corresponding to specific use cases. The list of options described in the man pages for the different commands are not always accurate. The messages for interactive help are mostly limited to HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS, and are even less representative of the actual set of options supported for the commands. Let's update the lists: - HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS is modified to contain the "default" options (JSON and debug), and to be extensible (no ending curly bracket). - All commands use HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS in their help message, and then complete the list with their specific options. - The lists of options in the man pages are updated. - The formatting of the list for bpftool.rst is adjusted to match formatting for the other man pages. This is for consistency, and also because it will be helpful in a future patch to automatically check that the files are synchronised.

2020-09-11tools: bpftool: Automate generation for "SEE ALSO" sections in man pagesQuentin Monnet1-16/+0
The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2), bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current one). This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple times in the past. Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are available in the same directory. v3: - Fix conflict with a previous patchset that introduced RST2MAN_OPTS variable passed to rst2man. v2: - Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of passing a format string directly to the command.

2020-09-10tools: bpftool: Include common options from separate fileQuentin Monnet1-16/+1
Nearly all man pages for bpftool have the same common set of option flags (--help, --version, --json, --pretty, --debug). The description is duplicated across all the pages, which is more difficult to maintain if the description of an option changes. It may also be confusing to sort out what options are not "common" and should not be copied when creating new manual pages. Let's move the description for those common options to a separate file, which is included with a RST directive when generating the man pages.

2019-07-31tools: bpftool: add support for reporting the effective cgroup progsJakub Kicinski1-4/+12
Takshak said in the original submission: With different bpf attach_flags available to attach bpf programs specially with BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE and BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI, the list of effective bpf-programs available to any sub-cgroups really needs to be available for easy debugging. Using BPF_F_QUERY_EFFECTIVE flag, one can get the list of not only attached bpf-programs to a cgroup but also the inherited ones from parent cgroup. So a new option is introduced to use BPF_F_QUERY_EFFECTIVE query flag here to list all the effective bpf-programs available for execution at a specified cgroup. Reused modified test program test_cgroup_attach from tools/testing/selftests/bpf: # ./test_cgroup_attach With old bpftool: # bpftool cgroup show /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup-test-work-dir/cg1/ ID AttachType AttachFlags Name 271 egress multi pkt_cntr_1 272 egress multi pkt_cntr_2 Attached new program pkt_cntr_4 in cg2 gives following: # bpftool cgroup show /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup-test-work-dir/cg1/cg2 ID AttachType AttachFlags Name 273 egress override pkt_cntr_4 And with new "effective" option it shows all effective programs for cg2: # bpftool cgroup show /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup-test-work-dir/cg1/cg2 effective ID AttachType AttachFlags Name 273 egress override pkt_cntr_4 271 egress override pkt_cntr_1 272 egress override pkt_cntr_2 Compared to original submission use a local flag instead of global option. We need to clear query_flags on every command, in case batch mode wants to use varying settings. v2: (Takshak) - forbid duplicated flags; - fix cgroup path freeing.

2019-05-28tools: bpftool: add -d option to get debug output from libbpfQuentin Monnet1-0/+4
libbpf has three levels of priority for output messages: warn, info, debug. By default, debug output is not printed to the console. Add a new "--debug" (short name: "-d") option to bpftool to print libbpf logs for all three levels. Internally, we simply use the function provided by libbpf to replace the default printing function by one that prints logs regardless of their level. v2: - Remove the possibility to select the log-levels to use (v1 offered a combination of "warn", "info" and "debug"). - Rename option and offer a short name: -d|--debug. - Add option description to all bpftool manual pages (instead of bpftool-prog.rst only), as all commands use libbpf.

2019-01-23tools: bpftool: add basic probe capability, probe syscall availabilityQuentin Monnet1-0/+1
Add a new component and command for bpftool, in order to probe the system to dump a set of eBPF-related parameters so that users can know what features are available on the system. Parameters are dumped in plain or JSON output (with -j/-p options). The current patch introduces probing of one simple parameter: availability of the bpf() system call. Later commits will add other probes. Sample output: # bpftool feature probe kernel Scanning system call availability... bpf() syscall is available # bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel { "syscall_config": { "have_bpf_syscall": true } } The optional "kernel" keyword enforces probing of the current system, which is the only possible behaviour at this stage. It can be safely omitted. The feature comes with the relevant man page, but bash completion will come in a dedicated commit. v3: - Do not probe kernel version. Contrarily to what is written below for v2, we can have the kernel version retrieved in libbpf instead of bpftool (in the patch adding probing for program types). v2: - Remove C-style macros output from this patch. - Even though kernel version is no longer needed for testing kprobes availability, note that we still collect it in this patch so that bpftool gets able to probe (in next patches) older kernels as well.
