Merge branch 'bpf-task-fd-query'
Yonghong Song says:
====================
Currently, suppose a userspace application has loaded a bpf program
and attached it to a tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe, and a bpf
introspection tool, e.g., bpftool, wants to show which bpf program
is attached to which tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe. Such attachment
information will be really useful to understand the overall bpf
deployment in the system.
There is a name field (16 bytes) for each program, which could
be used to encode the attachment point. There are some drawbacks
for this approaches. First, bpftool user (e.g., an admin) may not
really understand the association between the name and the
attachment point. Second, if one program is attached to multiple
places, encoding a proper name which can imply all these
attachments becomes difficult.
This patch introduces a new bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY.
Given a pid and fd, this command will return bpf related information
to user space. Right now it only supports tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe
perf event fd's. For such a fd, BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY will return
. prog_id
. tracepoint name, or
. k[ret]probe funcname + offset or kernel addr, or
. u[ret]probe filename + offset
to the userspace.
The user can use "bpftool prog" to find more information about
bpf program itself with prog_id.
Patch #1 adds function perf_get_event() in kernel/events/core.c.
Patch #2 implements the bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY.
Patch #3 syncs tools bpf.h header and also add bpf_task_fd_query()
in the libbpf library for samples/selftests/bpftool to use.
Patch #4 adds ksym_get_addr() utility function.
Patch #5 add a test in samples/bpf for querying k[ret]probes and
u[ret]probes.
Patch #6 add a test in tools/testing/selftests/bpf for querying
raw_tracepoint and tracepoint.
Patch #7 add a new subcommand "perf" to bpftool.
Changelogs:
v4 -> v5:
. return strlen(buf) instead of strlen(buf) + 1
in the attr.buf_len. As long as user provides
non-empty buffer, it will be filed with empty
string, truncated string, or full string
based on the buffer size and the length of
to-be-copied string.
v3 -> v4:
. made attr buf_len input/output. The length of
actual buffter is written to buf_len so user space knows
what is actually needed. If user provides a buffer
with length >= 1 but less than required, do partial
copy and return -ENOSPC.
. code simplification with put_user.
. changed query result attach_info to fd_type.
. add tests at selftests/bpf to test zero len, null buf and
insufficient buf.
v2 -> v3:
. made perf_get_event() return perf_event pointer const.
this was to ensure that event fields are not meddled.
. detect whether newly BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY is supported or
not in "bpftool perf" and warn users if it is not.
v1 -> v2:
. changed bpf subcommand name from BPF_PERF_EVENT_QUERY
to BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY.
. fixed various "bpftool perf" issues and added documentation
and auto-completion.
