* bpftool: Use simpler indentation in source rST for documentationRameez Rehman2024-04-021-30/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rST manual pages for bpftool would use a mix of tabs and spaces for indentation. While this is the norm in C code, this is rather unusual for rST documents, and over time we've seen many contributors use a wrong level of indentation for documentation update. Let's fix bpftool's indentation in docs once and for all: - Let's use spaces, that are more common in rST files. - Remove one level of indentation for the synopsis, the command description, and the "see also" section. As a result, all sections start with the same indentation level in the generated man page. - Rewrap the paragraphs after the changes. There is no content change in this patch, only indentation and rewrapping changes. The wrapping in the generated source files for the manual pages is changed, but the pages displayed with "man" remain the same, apart from the adjusted indentation level on relevant sections. [ Quentin: rebased on bpf-next, removed indent level for command description and options, updated synopsis, command summary, and "see also" sections. ] Signed-off-by: Rameez Rehman <rameezrehman408@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Quentin Monnet <qmo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240331200346.29118-2-qmo@kernel.org

* bpftool: Update doc (use susbtitutions) and test_bpftool_synctypes.pyQuentin Monnet2021-11-161-2/+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 The script did not complain, because it keeps comparing the hardcoded list to the (now) outdated list in the header file.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.

* bpftool: Add SPDX tags to RST documentation filesQuentin Monnet2021-11-161-0/+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.

* bpftool: Fix indent in option lists in the documentationQuentin Monnet2021-11-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tools: bpftool: Automate generation for "SEE ALSO" sections in man pagesQuentin Monnet2020-09-111-16/+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.

* tools: bpftool: Include common options from separate fileQuentin Monnet2020-09-101-23/+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.

* tools: bpftool: Print optional built-in features along with versionQuentin Monnet2020-09-101-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bpftool has a number of features that can be included or left aside during compilation. This includes: - Support for libbfd, providing the disassembler for JIT-compiled programs. - Support for BPF skeletons, used for profiling programs or iterating on the PIDs of processes associated with BPF objects. In order to make it easy for users to understand what features were compiled for a given bpftool binary, print the status of the two features above when showing the version number for bpftool ("bpftool -V" or "bpftool version"). Document this in the main manual page. Example invocations: $ bpftool version ./bpftool v5.9.0-rc1 features: libbfd, skeletons $ bpftool -p version { "version": "5.9.0-rc1", "features": { "libbfd": true, "skeletons": true } } Some other parameters are optional at compilation ("DISASM_FOUR_ARGS_SIGNATURE", LIBCAP support) but they do not impact significantly bpftool's behaviour from a user's point of view, so their status is not reported. Available commands and supported program types depend on the version number, and are therefore not reported either. Note that they are already available, albeit without JSON, via bpftool's help messages. v3: - Use a simple list instead of boolean values for plain output. v2: - Fix JSON (object instead or array for the features).

* tools: bpftool: make -d option print debug output from verifierQuentin Monnet2019-05-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "-d" option is used to require all logs available for bpftool. So far it meant telling libbpf to print even debug-level information. But there is another source of info that can be made more verbose: when we attemt to load programs with bpftool, we can pass a log_level parameter to the verifier in order to control the amount of information that is printed to the console. Reuse the "-d" option to print all information the verifier can tell. At this time, this means logs related to BPF_LOG_LEVEL1, BPF_LOG_LEVEL2 and BPF_LOG_STATS. As mentioned in the discussion on the first version of this set, these macros are internal to the kernel (include/linux/bpf_verifier.h) and are not meant to be part of the stable user API, therefore we simply use the related constants to print whatever we can at this time, without trying to tell users what is log_level1 or what is statistics. Verifier logs are only used when loading programs for now (In the future: for loading BTF objects with bpftool? Although libbpf does not currently offer to print verifier info at debug level if no error occurred when loading BTF objects), so bpftool.rst and bpftool-prog.rst are the only man pages to get the update. v3: - Add details on log level and BTF loading at the end of commit log. v2: - Remove the possibility to select the log levels to use (v1 offered a combination of "log_level1", "log_level2" and "stats"). - The macros from kernel header bpf_verifier.h are not used (and therefore not moved to UAPI header). - In v1 this was a distinct option, but is now merged in the only "-d" switch to activate libbpf and verifier debug-level logs all at the same time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to make life easier for users, bpftool automatically attempts to mount the BPF virtual file system, if it is not mounted already, before trying to pin objects in it. Similarly, it attempts to mount tracefs if necessary before trying to dump the trace pipe to the console. While mounting file systems on-the-fly can improve user experience, some administrators might prefer to avoid that. Let's add an option to block these mount attempts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multiple map definition structures exist and user may have non-zero fields in their definition that are not recognized by bpftool and libbpf. The normal behavior is to then fail loading the map. Although this is a good default behavior users may still want to load the map for debugging or other reasons. This patch adds a --mapcompat flag that can be used to override the default behavior and allow loading the map even when it has additional non-zero fields. For now the only user is 'bpftool prog' we can switch over other subcommands as needed. The library exposes an API that consumes a flags field now but I kept the original API around also in case users of the API don't want to expose this. The flags field is an int in case we need more control over how the API call handles errors/features/etc in the future.

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>
* tools: bpftool: add simple perf event output readerJakub Kicinski2018-05-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users of BPF sooner or later discover perf_event_output() helpers and BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY. Dumping this array type is not possible, however, we can add simple reading of perf events. Create a new event_pipe subcommand for maps, this sub command will only work with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps. Parts of the code from samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c.
