2020-05-11tools, bpftool: Minor fixes for documentationQuentin Monnet1-4/+8
Bring minor improvements to bpftool documentation. Fix or harmonise formatting, update map types (including in interactive help), improve description for "map create", fix a build warning due to a missing line after the double-colon for the "bpftool prog profile" example, complete/harmonise/sort the list of related bpftool man pages in footers. v2: - Remove (instead of changing) mark-up on "value" in bpftool-map.rst, when it does not refer to something passed on the command line. - Fix an additional typo ("hexadeximal") in the same file.

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.

2019-04-16tools: bpftool: fix short option name for printing version in man pagesQuentin Monnet1-1/+1
Manual pages would tell that option "-v" (lower case) would print the version number for bpftool. This is wrong: the short name of the option is "-V" (upper case). Fix the documentation accordingly.

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.

Update references to other bpftool man pages at the bottom of each manual page. Also reference the "bpf(2)" and "bpf-helpers(7)" man pages. References are sorted by number of man section, then by "prog-and-map-go-first", the other pages in alphabetical order.

2018-05-25tools/bpftool: add perf subcommandYonghong Song1-0/+81
The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated with a perf event, it will print out related perf event information. Documentation is also added. Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands. Running the following 4 bcc commands: kprobe: trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep' kretprobe: trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep' tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep' uprobe: trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main' The bpftool command line and result: $ bpftool perf pid 21711 fd 5: prog_id 5 kprobe func __x64_sys_write offset 0 pid 21765 fd 5: prog_id 7 kretprobe func __x64_sys_nanosleep offset 0 pid 21767 fd 5: prog_id 8 tracepoint sys_enter_nanosleep pid 21800 fd 5: prog_id 9 uprobe filename /home/yhs/a.out offset 1159 $ bpftool -j perf [{"pid":21711,"fd":5,"prog_id":5,"fd_type":"kprobe","func":"__x64_sys_write","offset":0}, \ {"pid":21765,"fd":5,"prog_id":7,"fd_type":"kretprobe","func":"__x64_sys_nanosleep","offset":0}, \ {"pid":21767,"fd":5,"prog_id":8,"fd_type":"tracepoint","tracepoint":"sys_enter_nanosleep"}, \ {"pid":21800,"fd":5,"prog_id":9,"fd_type":"uprobe","filename":"/home/yhs/a.out","offset":1159}] $ bpftool prog 5: kprobe name probe___x64_sys tag e495a0c82f2c7a8d gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:46:37-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 4 7: kprobe name probe___x64_sys tag f2fdee479a503abf gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:48:32-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 7 8: tracepoint name tracepoint__sys tag 5390badef2395fcf gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:48:48-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 8 9: kprobe name probe_main_1 tag 0a87bdc2e2953b6d gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:49:52-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 9 $ ps ax | grep "python ./trace.py" 21711 pts/0 T 0:03 python ./trace.py __x64_sys_write 21765 pts/0 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py r::__x64_sys_nanosleep 21767 pts/2 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py t:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep 21800 pts/3 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py p:/home/yhs/a.out:main 22374 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto python ./trace.py Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
