This fixes two issues with the newly introduced libbpf_common.h file:
- The header failed to include <string.h> for the definition of memset()
- The new file was not included in the install_headers rule in the Makefile
Both of these issues cause breakage when installing libbpf with 'make
install' and trying to use it in applications.

Probably the single most common error newcomers to XDP are stumped by is
the 'permission denied' error they get when trying to load their program
and 'ulimit -l' is set too low. For examples, see [0], [1].
Since the error code is UAPI, we can't change that. Instead, this patch
adds a few heuristics in libbpf and outputs an additional hint if they are
met: If an EPERM is returned on map create or program load, and geteuid()
shows we are root, and the current RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is not infinity, we
output a hint about raising 'ulimit -l' as an additional log line.

When attaching XDP programs, userspace can set flags to request the attach
mode (generic/SKB mode, driver mode or hw offloaded mode). If no such flags
are requested, the kernel will attempt to attach in driver mode, and then
silently fall back to SKB mode if this fails.
The silent fallback is a major source of user confusion, as users will try
to load a program on a device without XDP support, and instead of an error
they will get the silent fallback behaviour, not notice, and then wonder
why performance is not what they were expecting.
In an attempt to combat this, let's switch all the samples to default to
explicitly requesting driver-mode attach. As part of this, ensure that all
the userspace utilities have a switch to enable SKB mode. For those that
have a switch to request driver mode, keep it but turn it into a no-op.

doesn't work with BPF. This was reported once before[0], but it seems the

The symptom of this is compile errors like the following:

Add support for flexible array accesses in a relocatable manner in BPF CO-RE.
It's a typical pattern in C, and kernel in particular, to provide

such cases variable-sized array contents follows immediately after the end of
a struct. This patch set adds support for such access pattern by allowing
accesses to such arrays.
Patch #1 adds libbpf support. Patch #2 adds few test cases for validation.

Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
It's often important for BPF program to know kernel version or some specific
config values (e.g., CONFIG_HZ to convert jiffies to seconds) and change or
adjust program logic based on their values. As of today, any such need has to
be resolved by recompiling BPF program for specific kernel and kernel
configuration. In practice this is usually achieved by using BCC and its
embedded LLVM/Clang. With such set up #ifdef CONFIG_XXX and similar
compile-time constructs allow to deal with kernel varieties.
With CO-RE (Compile Once – Run Everywhere) approach, this is not an option,
unfortunately. All such logic variations have to be done as a normal
C language constructs (i.e., if/else, variables, etc), not a preprocessor
directives. This patch series add support for such advanced scenarios through
C extern variables. These extern variables will be recognized by libbpf and
supplied through extra .extern internal map, similarly to global data. This
.extern map is read-only, which allows BPF verifier to track its content
precisely as constants. That gives an opportunity to have pre-compiled BPF
program, which can potentially use BPF functionality (e.g., BPF helpers) or
kernel features (types, fields, etc), that are available only on a subset of
targeted kernels, while effectively eleminating (through verifier's dead code
detection) such unsupported functionality for other kernels (typically, older
versions). Patch #3 explicitly tests a scenario of using unsupported BPF
helper, to validate the approach.
This patch set heavily relies on BTF type information emitted by compiler for
each extern variable declaration. Based on specific types, libbpf does strict
checks of config data values correctness. See patch #1 for details.
Outline of the patch set:
- patch #1 does a small clean up of internal map names contants;
- patch #2 adds all of the libbpf internal machinery for externs support,
including setting up BTF information for .extern data section;
- patch #3 adds support for .extern into BPF skeleton;
- patch #4 adds externs selftests, as well as enhances test_skeleton.c test to
validate mmap()-ed .extern datasection functionality.

- clean up copyrights and rebase onto latest skeleton patches (Alexei);
v2->v3:
- truncate too long strings (Alexei);
- clean ups, adding comments (Alexei);
v1->v2:

feature that's tested is dead code elimination together with using invalid BPF

and not fail validation, when invalid BPF helper is called from dead if branch.

Add support for extern variables, provided to BPF program by libbpf. Currently
the following extern variables are supported:
- LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION; version of a kernel in which BPF program is
executing, follows KERNEL_VERSION() macro convention, can be 4- and 8-byte
long;
- CONFIG_xxx values; a set of values of actual kernel config. Tristate,
boolean, strings, and integer values are supported.
Set of possible values is determined by declared type of extern variable.
Supported types of variables are:
- Tristate values. Are represented as `enum libbpf_tristate`. Accepted values
are **strictly** 'y', 'n', or 'm', which are represented as TRI_YES, TRI_NO,
or TRI_MODULE, respectively.
- Boolean values. Are represented as bool (_Bool) types. Accepted values are
'y' and 'n' only, turning into true/false values, respectively.
- Single-character values. Can be used both as a substritute for
bool/tristate, or as a small-range integer:
- 'y'/'n'/'m' are represented as is, as characters 'y', 'n', or 'm';
- integers in a range [-128, 127] or [0, 255] (depending on signedness of
char in target architecture) are recognized and represented with
respective values of char type.
- Strings. String values are declared as fixed-length char arrays. String of
up to that length will be accepted and put in first N bytes of char array,
with the rest of bytes zeroed out. If config string value is longer than
space alloted, it will be truncated and warning message emitted. Char array
is always zero terminated. String literals in config have to be enclosed in
double quotes, just like C-style string literals.
- Integers. 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integers are supported, both signed and
unsigned variants. Libbpf enforces parsed config value to be in the
supported range of corresponding integer type. Integers values in config can
be:
- decimal integers, with optional + and - signs;
- hexadecimal integers, prefixed with 0x or 0X;
- octal integers, starting with 0.
Config file itself is searched in /boot/config-$(uname -r) location with
fallback to /proc/config.gz, unless config path is specified explicitly
through bpf_object_open_opts' kernel_config_path option. Both gzipped and
plain text formats are supported. Libbpf adds explicit dependency on zlib
because of this, but this shouldn't be a problem, given libelf already depends
on zlib.
All detected extern variables, are put into a separate .extern internal map.
It, similarly to .rodata map, is marked as read-only from BPF program side, as
well as is frozen on load. This allows BPF verifier to track extern values as
constants and perform enhanced branch prediction and dead code elimination.
This can be relied upon for doing kernel version/feature detection and using
potentially unsupported field relocations or BPF helpers in a CO-RE-based BPF
program, while still having a single version of BPF program running on old and
new kernels. Selftests are validating this explicitly for unexisting BPF
helper.

Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
This patch set introduces an alternative and complimentary to existing libbpf
API interface for working with BPF objects, maps, programs, and global data
from userspace side. This approach is relying on code generation. bpftool
produces a struct (a.k.a. skeleton) tailored and specific to provided BPF
object file. It includes hard-coded fields and data structures for every map,
program, link, and global data present.
Altogether this approach significantly reduces amount of userspace boilerplate
code required to open, load, attach, and work with BPF objects. It improves
attach/detach story, by providing pre-allocated space for bpf_links, and
ensuring they are properly detached on shutdown. It allows to do away with by
name/title lookups of maps and programs, because libbpf's skeleton API, in
conjunction with generated code from bpftool, is filling in hard-coded fields
with actual pointers to corresponding struct bpf_map/bpf_program/bpf_link.
Also, thanks to BPF array mmap() support, working with global data (variables)
from userspace is now as natural as it is from BPF side: each variable is just
a struct field inside skeleton struct. Furthermore, this allows to have
a natural way for userspace to pre-initialize global data (including
previously impossible to initialize .rodata) by just assigning values to the
same per-variable fields. Libbpf will carefully take into account this
initialization image, will use it to pre-populate BPF maps at creation time,
and will re-mmap() BPF map's contents at exactly the same userspace memory
address such that it can continue working with all the same pointers without
any interruptions. If kernel doesn't support mmap(), global data will still be
successfully initialized, but after map creation global data structures inside
skeleton will be NULL-ed out. This allows userspace application to gracefully
handle lack of mmap() support, if necessary.
A bunch of selftests are also converted to using skeletons, demonstrating
significant simplification of userspace part of test and reduction in amount
of code necessary.

Add `bpftool gen skeleton` command, which takes in compiled BPF .o object file
and dumps a BPF skeleton struct and related code to work with that skeleton.
Skeleton itself is tailored to a specific structure of provided BPF object
file, containing accessors (just plain struct fields) for every map and
program, as well as dedicated space for bpf_links. If BPF program is using
global variables, corresponding structure definitions of compatible memory
layout are emitted as well, making it possible to initialize and subsequently
read/update global variables values using simple and clear C syntax for
accessing fields. This skeleton majorly improves usability of
opening/loading/attaching of BPF object, as well as interacting with it
throughout the lifetime of loaded BPF object.
Generated skeleton struct has the following structure:
struct <object-name> {
/* used by libbpf's skeleton API */
struct bpf_object_skeleton *skeleton;
/* bpf_object for libbpf APIs */
struct bpf_object *obj;
struct {
/* for every defined map in BPF object: */
struct bpf_map *<map-name>;
} maps;
struct {
/* for every program in BPF object: */
struct bpf_program *<program-name>;
} progs;
struct {
/* for every program in BPF object: */
struct bpf_link *<program-name>;
} links;
/* for every present global data section: */
struct <object-name>__<one of bss, data, or rodata> {
/* memory layout of corresponding data section,
* with every defined variable represented as a struct field
* with exactly the same type, but without const/volatile
* modifiers, e.g.:
*/
int *my_var_1;
...
} *<one of bss, data, or rodata>;
};
This provides great usability improvements:
- no need to look up maps and programs by name, instead just
my_obj->maps.my_map or my_obj->progs.my_prog would give necessary
bpf_map/bpf_program pointers, which user can pass to existing libbpf APIs;
- pre-defined places for bpf_links, which will be automatically populated for
program types that libbpf knows how to attach automatically (currently
tracepoints, kprobe/kretprobe, raw tracepoint and tracing programs). On
tearing down skeleton, all active bpf_links will be destroyed (meaning BPF
programs will be detached, if they are attached). For cases in which libbpf
doesn't know how to auto-attach BPF program, user can manually create link
after loading skeleton and they will be auto-detached on skeleton
destruction:
my_obj->links.my_fancy_prog = bpf_program__attach_cgroup_whatever(
my_obj->progs.my_fancy_prog, <whatever extra param);
- it's extremely easy and convenient to work with global data from userspace
now. Both for read-only and read/write variables, it's possible to
pre-initialize them before skeleton is loaded:
skel = my_obj__open(raw_embed_data);
my_obj->rodata->my_var = 123;
my_obj__load(skel); /* 123 will be initialization value for my_var */
After load, if kernel supports mmap() for BPF arrays, user can still read
(and write for .bss and .data) variables values, but at that point it will
be directly mmap()-ed to BPF array, backing global variables. This allows to
seamlessly exchange data with BPF side. From userspace program's POV, all
the pointers and memory contents stay the same, but mapped kernel memory
changes to point to created map.
If kernel doesn't yet support mmap() for BPF arrays, it's still possible to
use those data section structs to pre-initialize .bss, .data, and .rodata,
but after load their pointers will be reset to NULL, allowing user code to
gracefully handle this condition, if necessary.

Move BTF ID determination for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING programs to a load phase.
Performing it at open step is inconvenient, because it prevents BPF skeleton
generation on older host kernel, which doesn't contain BTF_KIND_FUNCs
information in vmlinux BTF. This is a common set up, though, when, e.g.,
selftests are compiled on older host kernel, but the test program itself is
executed in qemu VM with bleeding edge kernel. Having this BTF searching
performed at load time allows to successfully use bpf_object__open() for

Refactor global data map initialization to use anonymous mmap()-ed memory
instead of malloc()-ed one. This allows to do a transparent re-mmap()-ing of
already existing memory address to point to BPF map's memory after
bpf_object__load() step (done in follow up patch). This choreographed setup
allows to have a nice and unsurprising way to pre-initialize read-only (and
r/w as well) maps by user and after BPF map creation keep working with
mmap()-ed contents of this map. All in a way that doesn't require user code to
update any pointers: the illusion of working with memory contents is preserved
before and after actual BPF map instantiation.

C program it is exposed as struct bpf_embed_data, containing a pointer to
raw data and its size in bytes.

Generalize BPF program attaching and allow libbpf to auto-detect type (and
extra parameters, where applicable) and attach supported BPF program types
based on program sections. Currently this is supported for:
- kprobe/kretprobe;
- tracepoint;
- raw tracepoint;
- tracing programs (typed raw TP/fentry/fexit).
More types support can be trivially added within this framework.

Reorganize bpf_object__open and bpf_object__load steps such that
bpf_object__open doesn't need root access. This was previously done for
feature probing and BTF sanitization. This doesn't have to happen on open,
though, so move all those steps into the load phase.
This is important, because it makes it possible for tools like bpftool, to
just open BPF object file and inspect their contents: programs, maps, BTF,
etc. For such operations it is prohibitive to require root access. On the
other hand, there is a lot of custom libbpf logic in those steps, so its best
avoided for tools to reimplement all that on their own.

Fedora binutils has been patched to show "other info" for a symbol at the
end of the line. This was done in order to support unmaintained scripts
that would break with the extra info. [1]

This in turn has been done to fix the build of ruby, because of checksec.
[2] Thanks Michael Ellerman for the pointer.

As libbpf Makefile is not unmaintained, we can simply deal with either
output format, by just removing the "other info" field, as it always comes
inside brackets.

====================
When working with frequently modified BPF programs, both the ID and the
tag may change. bpftool currently doesn't provide a "stable" way to match
such programs. This patchset allows bpftool to match programs and maps by
name.
When given a tag that matches several programs, bpftool currently only
considers the first match. The first patch changes that behavior to
either process all matching programs (for the show and dump commands) or
error out. The second patch implements program lookup by name, with the
same behavior as for tags in case of ambiguity. The last patch implements
map lookup by name.
Changelogs:
Changes in v2:
- Fix buffer overflow after realloc.
- Add example output to commit message.
- Properly close JSON arrays on errors.
- Fix style errors (line breaks, for loops, exit labels, type for
tagname).
- Move do_show code for argc == 2 to do_show_subset functions.
- Rebase.

This patch implements lookup by name for maps and changes the behavior of
lookups by tag to be consistent with prog subcommands. Similarly to
program subcommands, the show and dump commands will return all maps with
the given name (or tag), whereas other commands will error out if several
maps have the same name (resp. tag).
When a map has BTF info, it is dumped in JSON with available BTF info.
This patch requires that all matched maps have BTF info before switching
the output format to JSON.

When several BPF programs have the same tag, bpftool matches only the
first (in ID order). This patch changes that behavior such that dump and
show commands return all matched programs. Commands that require a single
program (e.g., pin and attach) will error out if given a tag that matches
several. bpftool prog dump will also error out if file or visual are
given and several programs have the given tag.
In the case of the dump command, a program header is added before each
dump only if the tag matches several programs; this patch doesn't change
the output if a single program matches. The output when several
programs match thus looks as follows.
$ ./bpftool prog dump xlated tag 6deef7357e7b4530

====================
Overview
========
This is the 6th iteration of the series that introduces the BPF
dispatcher, which is a mechanism to avoid indirect calls.
The BPF dispatcher is a multi-way branch code generator, targeted for
BPF programs. E.g. when an XDP program is executed via the
bpf_prog_run_xdp(), it is invoked via an indirect call. With
retpolines enabled, the indirect call has a substantial performance
impact. The dispatcher is a mechanism that transform indirect calls to
direct calls, and therefore avoids the retpoline. The dispatcher is
generated using the BPF JIT, and relies on text poking provided by
bpf_arch_text_poke().
The dispatcher hijacks a trampoline function it via the __fentry__ nop
of the trampoline. One dispatcher instance currently supports up to 48
dispatch points. This can be extended in the future.
In this series, only one dispatcher instance is supported, and the
only user is XDP. The dispatcher is updated when an XDP program is
attached/detached to/from a netdev. An alternative to this could have
been to update the dispatcher at program load point, but as there are
usually more XDP programs loaded than attached, so the latter was
picked.
The XDP dispatcher is always enabled, if available, because it helps
even when retpolines are disabled. Please refer to the "Performance"
section below.
The first patch refactors the image allocation from the BPF trampoline
code. Patch two introduces the dispatcher, and patch three adds a
dispatcher for XDP, and wires up the XDP control-/ fast-path. Patch
four adds the dispatcher to BPF_TEST_RUN. Patch five adds a simple
selftest, and the last adds alignment to jump targets.
I have rebased the series on commit 679152d3a3 ("libbpf: Fix printf
compilation warnings on ppc64le arch").
Generated code, x86-64
======================
The dispatcher currently has a maximum of 48 entries, where one entry
is a unique BPF program. Multiple users of a dispatcher instance using
the same BPF program will share that entry.
The program/slot lookup is performed by a binary search, O(log
n). Let's have a look at the generated code.
The trampoline function has the following signature:
unsigned int tramp(const void *ctx,
const struct bpf_insn *insnsi,
unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const void *,
const struct bpf_insn *))
On Intel x86-64 this means that rdx will contain the bpf_func. To,
make it easier to read, I've let the BPF programs have the following
range: 0xffffffffffffffff (-1) to 0xfffffffffffffff0
(-16). 0xffffffff81c00f10 is the retpoline thunk, in this case
__x86_indirect_thunk_rdx. If retpolines are disabled the thunk will be
a regular indirect call.
The minimal dispatcher will then look like this:
ffffffffc0002000: cmp rdx,0xffffffffffffffff
ffffffffc0002007: je 0xffffffffffffffff ; -1
ffffffffc000200d: jmp 0xffffffff81c00f10
A 16 entry dispatcher looks like this:
ffffffffc0020000: cmp rdx,0xfffffffffffffff7 ; -9
ffffffffc0020007: jg 0xffffffffc0020130
ffffffffc002000d: cmp rdx,0xfffffffffffffff3 ; -13

xdp-perf runs, aliged vs non-aligned jump targets
-------------------------------------------------
In this test dispatchers of different sizes, with and without jump
target alignment, were exercised. As outlined above the function
lookup is performed via binary search. This means that depending on
the pointer value of the function, it can reside in the upper or lower
part of the search table. The performed tests were:
1. aligned, mititations=auto, function entry < other entries
2. aligned, mititations=auto, function entry > other entries
3. non-aligned, mititations=auto, function entry < other entries
4. non-aligned, mititations=auto, function entry > other entries
5. aligned, mititations=off, function entry < other entries
6. aligned, mititations=off, function entry > other entries
7. non-aligned, mititations=off, function entry < other entries
8. non-aligned, mititations=off, function entry > other entries
The micro benchmarks showed that alignment of jump target has some
positive impact.
A reply to this cover letter will contain complete data for all runs.

Revisions
=========
v4->v5: [1]
* Fixed s/xdp_ctx/ctx/ type-o (Toke)
* Marked dispatcher trampoline with noinline attribute (Alexei)
v3->v4: [2]
* Moved away from doing dispatcher lookup based on the trampoline
function, to a model where the dispatcher instance is explicitly
passed to the bpf_dispatcher_change_prog() (Alexei)
v2->v3: [3]
* Removed xdp_call, and instead make the dispatcher available to all
XDP users via bpf_prog_run_xdp() and dev_xdp_install(). (Toke)
* Always enable the dispatcher, if available (Alexei)
* Reuse BPF trampoline image allocator (Alexei)
* Make sure the dispatcher is exercised in selftests (Alexei)
* Only allow one dispatcher, and wire it to XDP
v1->v2: [4]
* Fixed i386 build warning (kbuild robot)
* Made bpf_dispatcher_lookup() static (kbuild robot)
* Make sure xdp_call.h is only enabled for builtins
* Add xdp_call() to ixgbe, mlx4, and mlx5
RFC->v1: [5]
* Improved error handling (Edward and Andrii)
* Explicit cleanup (Andrii)
* Use 32B with sext cmp (Alexei)
* Align jump targets to 16B (Alexei)
* 4 to 16 entries (Toke)
* Added stats to xdp_call_run()

>From Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Reference Manual,
3.4.1.4 Code Alignment, Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 11: All branch
targets should be 16-byte aligned.
This commits aligns branch targets according to the Intel manual.
The nops used to align branch targets make the dispatcher larger, and
therefore the number of supported dispatch points/programs are
descreased from 64 to 48.

The xdp_perf is a dummy XDP test, only used to measure the the cost of
jumping into a naive XDP program one million times.
To build and run the program:
$ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf
$ make
$ ./test_progs -v -t xdp_perf

This commit adds a BPF dispatcher for XDP. The dispatcher is updated
from the XDP control-path, dev_xdp_install(), and used when an XDP
program is run via bpf_prog_run_xdp().

The BPF dispatcher is a multi-way branch code generator, mainly
targeted for XDP programs. When an XDP program is executed via the
bpf_prog_run_xdp(), it is invoked via an indirect call. The indirect
call has a substantial performance impact, when retpolines are
enabled. The dispatcher transform indirect calls to direct calls, and
therefore avoids the retpoline. The dispatcher is generated using the
BPF JIT, and relies on text poking provided by bpf_arch_text_poke().
The dispatcher hijacks a trampoline function it via the __fentry__ nop
of the trampoline. One dispatcher instance currently supports up to 64
dispatch points. A user creates a dispatcher with its corresponding
trampoline with the DEFINE_BPF_DISPATCHER macro.

Refactor the image allocation in the BPF trampoline code into a
separate function, so it can be shared with the BPF dispatcher in
upcoming commits.
