However, it usually + * defaults to something like: + * + * :: + * + * telnet-470 [001] .N.. 419421.045894: 0x00000001: <formatted msg> + * + * In the above: + * + * * ``telnet`` is the name of the current task. + * * ``470`` is the PID of the current task. + * * ``001`` is the CPU number on which the task is + * running. + * * In ``.N..``, each character refers to a set of + * options (whether irqs are enabled, scheduling + * options, whether hard/softirqs are running, level of + * preempt_disabled respectively). **N** means that + * **TIF_NEED_RESCHED** and **PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED** + * are set. + * * ``419421.045894`` is a timestamp. + * * ``0x00000001`` is a fake value used by BPF for the + * instruction pointer register. + * * ``<formatted msg>`` is the message formatted with + * *fmt*. + * + * The conversion specifiers supported by *fmt* are similar, but + * more limited than for printk(). They are **%d**, **%i**, + * **%u**, **%x**, **%ld**, **%li**, **%lu**, **%lx**, **%lld**, + * **%lli**, **%llu**, **%llx**, **%p**, **%s**. No modifier (size + * of field, padding with zeroes, etc.) is available, and the + * helper will return **-EINVAL** (but print nothing) if it + * encounters an unknown specifier. + * + * Also, note that **bpf_trace_printk**\ () is slow, and should + * only be used for debugging purposes. For this reason, a notice + * bloc (spanning several lines) is printed to kernel logs and + * states that the helper should not be used "for production use" + * the first time this helper is used (or more precisely, when + * **trace_printk**\ () buffers are allocated). For passing values + * to user space, perf events should be preferred. + * Return + * The number of bytes written to the buffer, or a negative error + * in case of failure. + * + * u32 bpf_get_prandom_u32(void) + * Description + * Get a pseudo-random number. + * + * From a security point of view, this helper uses its own + * pseudo-random internal state, and cannot be used to infer the + * seed of other random functions in the kernel. However, it is + * essential to note that the generator used by the helper is not + * cryptographically secure. + * Return + * A random 32-bit unsigned value. + * + * u32 bpf_get_smp_processor_id(void) + * Description + * Get the SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) processor id. Note that + * all programs run with preemption disabled, which means that the + * SMP processor id is stable during all the execution of the + * program. + * Return + * The SMP id of the processor running the program. + * + * int bpf_skb_store_bytes(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, const void *from, u32 len, u64 flags) + * Description + * Store *len* bytes from address *from* into the packet + * associated to *skb*, at *offset*. *flags* are a combination of + * **BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM** (automatically recompute the + * checksum for the packet after storing the bytes) and + * **BPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH** (set *skb*\ **->hash**, *skb*\ + * **->swhash** and *skb*\ **->l4hash** to 0). + * + * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying + * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers + * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be + * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with + * direct packet access. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_l3_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 size) + * Description + * Recompute the layer 3 (e.g. IP) checksum for the packet + * associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the helper + * must know the former value of the header field that was + * modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the + * number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored in *size*. + * Alternatively, it is possible to store the difference between + * the previous and the new values of the header field in *to*, by + * setting *from* and *size* to 0. For both methods, *offset* + * indicates the location of the IP checksum within the packet. + * + * This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (), + * which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more + * flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the + * checksum to update. + * + * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying + * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers + * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be + * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with + * direct packet access. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_l4_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 flags) + * Description + * Recompute the layer 4 (e.g. TCP, UDP or ICMP) checksum for the + * packet associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the + * helper must know the former value of the header field that was + * modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the + * number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored on the lowest + * four bits of *flags*. Alternatively, it is possible to store + * the difference between the previous and the new values of the + * header field in *to*, by setting *from* and the four lowest + * bits of *flags* to 0. For both methods, *offset* indicates the + * location of the IP checksum within the packet. In addition to + * the size of the field, *flags* can be added (bitwise OR) actual + * flags. With **BPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0**, a null checksum is left + * untouched (unless **BPF_F_MARK_ENFORCE** is added as well), and + * for updates resulting in a null checksum the value is set to + * **CSUM_MANGLED_0** instead. Flag **BPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR** indicates + * the checksum is to be computed against a pseudo-header. + * + * This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (), + * which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more + * flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the + * checksum to update. + * + * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying + * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers + * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be + * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with + * direct packet access. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_tail_call(void *ctx, struct bpf_map *prog_array_map, u32 index) + * Description + * This special helper is used to trigger a "tail call", or in + * other words, to jump into another eBPF program. The same stack + * frame is used (but values on stack and in registers for the + * caller are not accessible to the callee). This mechanism allows + * for program chaining, either for raising the maximum number of + * available eBPF instructions, or to execute given programs in + * conditional blocks. For security reasons, there is an upper + * limit to the number of successive tail calls that can be + * performed. + * + * Upon call of this helper, the program attempts to jump into a + * program referenced at index *index* in *prog_array_map*, a + * special map of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY**, and passes + * *ctx*, a pointer to the context. + * + * If the call succeeds, the kernel immediately runs the first + * instruction of the new program. This is not a function call, + * and it never returns to the previous program. If the call + * fails, then the helper has no effect, and the caller continues + * to run its subsequent instructions. A call can fail if the + * destination program for the jump does not exist (i.e. *index* + * is superior to the number of entries in *prog_array_map*), or + * if the maximum number of tail calls has been reached for this + * chain of programs. This limit is defined in the kernel by the + * macro **MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT** (not accessible to user space), + * which is currently set to 32. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_clone_redirect(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 ifindex, u64 flags) + * Description + * Clone and redirect the packet associated to *skb* to another + * net device of index *ifindex*. Both ingress and egress + * interfaces can be used for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS** + * value in *flags* is used to make the distinction (ingress path + * is selected if the flag is present, egress path otherwise). + * This is the only flag supported for now. + * + * In comparison with **bpf_redirect**\ () helper, + * **bpf_clone_redirect**\ () has the associated cost of + * duplicating the packet buffer, but this can be executed out of + * the eBPF program. Conversely, **bpf_redirect**\ () is more + * efficient, but it is handled through an action code where the + * redirection happens only after the eBPF program has returned. + * + * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying + * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers + * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be + * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with + * direct packet access. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. * * u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void) - * Return: current->tgid << 32 | current->pid + * Return + * A 64-bit integer containing the current tgid and pid, and + * created as such: + * *current_task*\ **->tgid << 32 \|** + * *current_task*\ **->pid**. * * u64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void) - * Return: current_gid << 32 | current_uid - * - * int bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, int size_of_buf) - * stores current->comm into buf - * Return: 0 on success or negative error - * - * u32 bpf_get_cgroup_classid(skb) - * retrieve a proc's classid - * @skb: pointer to skb - * Return: classid if != 0 - * - * int bpf_skb_vlan_push(skb, vlan_proto, vlan_tci) - * Return: 0 on success or negative error - * - * int bpf_skb_vlan_pop(skb) - * Return: 0 on success or negative error - * - * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, key, size, flags) - * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, key, size, flags) - * retrieve or populate tunnel metadata - * @skb: pointer to skb - * @key: pointer to 'struct bpf_tunnel_key' - * @size: size of 'struct bpf_tunnel_key' - * @flags: room for future extensions - * Return: 0 on success or negative error - * - * u64 bpf_perf_event_read(map, flags) - * read perf event counter value - * @map: pointer to perf_event_array map - * @flags: index of event in the map or bitmask flags - * Return: value of perf event counter read or error code - * - * int bpf_redirect(ifindex, flags) - * redirect to another netdev - * @ifindex: ifindex of the net device - * @flags: - * cls_bpf: - * bit 0 - if set, redirect to ingress instead of egress - * other bits - reserved - * xdp_bpf: - * all bits - reserved - * Return: cls_bpf: TC_ACT_REDIRECT on success or TC_ACT_SHOT on error - * xdp_bfp: XDP_REDIRECT on success or XDP_ABORT on error - * int bpf_redirect_map(map, key, flags) - * redirect to endpoint in map - * @map: pointer to dev map - * @key: index in map to lookup - * @flags: -- - * Return: XDP_REDIRECT on success or XDP_ABORT on error - * - * u32 bpf_get_route_realm(skb) - * retrieve a dst's tclassid - * @skb: pointer to skb - * Return: realm if != 0 - * - * int bpf_perf_event_output(ctx, map, flags, data, size) - * output perf raw sample - * @ctx: struct pt_regs* - * @map: pointer to perf_event_array map - * @flags: index of event in the map or bitmask flags - * @data: data on stack to be output as raw data - * @size: size of data - * Return: 0 on success or negative error - * - * int bpf_get_stackid(ctx, map, flags) - * walk user or kernel stack and return id - * @ctx: struct pt_regs* - * @map: pointer to stack_trace map - * @flags: bits 0-7 - numer of stack frames to skip - * bit 8 - collect user stack instead of kernel - * bit 9 - compare stacks by hash only - * bit 10 - if two different stacks hash into the same stackid - * discard old - * other bits - reserved - * Return: >= 0 stackid on success or negative error - * - * s64 bpf_csum_diff(from, from_size, to, to_size, seed) - * calculate csum diff - * @from: raw from buffer - * @from_size: length of from buffer - * @to: raw to buffer - * @to_size: length of to buffer - * @seed: optional seed - * Return: csum result or negative error code - * - * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt(skb, opt, size) - * retrieve tunnel options metadata - * @skb: pointer to skb - * @opt: pointer to raw tunnel option data - * @size: size of @opt - * Return: option size - * - * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_opt(skb, opt, size) - * populate tunnel options metadata - * @skb: pointer to skb - * @opt: pointer to raw tunnel option data - * @size: size of @opt - * Return: 0 on success or negative error - * - * int bpf_skb_change_proto(skb, proto, flags) - * Change protocol of the skb.

The **comm** attribute contains the name of + * the executable (excluding the path) for the current task. The + * *size_of_buf* must be strictly positive. On success, the + * helper makes sure that the *buf* is NUL-terminated. On failure, + * it is filled with zeroes. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * u32 bpf_get_cgroup_classid(struct sk_buff *skb) + * Description + * Retrieve the classid for the current task, i.e. for the net_cls + * cgroup to which *skb* belongs. + * + * This helper can be used on TC egress path, but not on ingress. + * + * The net_cls cgroup provides an interface to tag network packets + * based on a user-provided identifier for all traffic coming from + * the tasks belonging to the related cgroup. See also the related + * kernel documentation, available from the Linux sources in file + * *Documentation/cgroup-v1/net_cls.txt*. + * + * The Linux kernel has two versions for cgroups: there are + * cgroups v1 and cgroups v2. Both are available to users, who can + * use a mixture of them, but note that the net_cls cgroup is for + * cgroup v1 only. This makes it incompatible with BPF programs + * run on cgroups, which is a cgroup-v2-only feature (a socket can + * only hold data for one version of cgroups at a time). + * + * This helper is only available is the kernel was compiled with + * the **CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_CLASSID** configuration option set to + * "**y**" or to "**m**". + * Return + * The classid, or 0 for the default unconfigured classid. + * + * int bpf_skb_vlan_push(struct sk_buff *skb, __be16 vlan_proto, u16 vlan_tci) + * Description + * Push a *vlan_tci* (VLAN tag control information) of protocol + * *vlan_proto* to the packet associated to *skb*, then update + * the checksum. Note that if *vlan_proto* is different from + * **ETH_P_8021Q** and **ETH_P_8021AD**, it is considered to + * be **ETH_P_8021Q**. + * + * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying + * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers + * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be + * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with + * direct packet access. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_skb_vlan_pop(struct sk_buff *skb) + * Description + * Pop a VLAN header from the packet associated to *skb*. + * + * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying + * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers + * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be + * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with + * direct packet access. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags) + * Description + * Get tunnel metadata. This helper takes a pointer *key* to an + * empty **struct bpf_tunnel_key** of **size**, that will be + * filled with tunnel metadata for the packet associated to *skb*. + * The *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**, which + * indicates that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol instead of + * IPv4. + * + * The **struct bpf_tunnel_key** is an object that generalizes the + * principal parameters used by various tunneling protocols into a + * single struct. This way, it can be used to easily make a + * decision based on the contents of the encapsulation header, + * "summarized" in this struct. In particular, it holds the IP + * address of the remote end (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the case) + * in *key*\ **->remote_ipv4** or *key*\ **->remote_ipv6**. Also, + * this struct exposes the *key*\ **->tunnel_id**, which is + * generally mapped to a VNI (Virtual Network Identifier), making + * it programmable together with the **bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key**\ + * () helper. + * + * Let's imagine that the following code is part of a program + * attached to the TC ingress interface, on one end of a GRE + * tunnel, and is supposed to filter out all messages coming from + * remote ends with IPv4 address other than 10.0.0.1: + * + * :: + * + * int ret; + * struct bpf_tunnel_key key = {}; + * + * ret = bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0); + * if (ret < 0) + * return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet + * + * if (key.remote_ipv4 != 0x0a000001) + * return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet + * + * return TC_ACT_OK; // accept packet + * + * This interface can also be used with all encapsulation devices + * that can operate in "collect metadata" mode: instead of having + * one network device per specific configuration, the "collect + * metadata" mode only requires a single device where the + * configuration can be extracted from this helper. + * + * This can be used together with various tunnels such as VXLan, + * Geneve, GRE or IP in IP (IPIP). + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags) + * Description + * Populate tunnel metadata for packet associated to *skb.* The + * tunnel metadata is set to the contents of *key*, of *size*. The + * *flags* can be set to a combination of the following values: + * + * **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6** + * Indicate that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol + * instead of IPv4. + * **BPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX** + * For IPv4 packets, add a flag to tunnel metadata + * indicating that checksum computation should be skipped + * and checksum set to zeroes. + * **BPF_F_DONT_FRAGMENT** + * Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that the + * packet should not be fragmented. + * **BPF_F_SEQ_NUMBER** + * Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that a + * sequence number should be added to tunnel header before + * sending the packet. This flag was added for GRE + * encapsulation, but might be used with other protocols + * as well in the future. + * + * Here is a typical usage on the transmit path: + * + * :: + * + * struct bpf_tunnel_key key; + * populate key ... + * bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0); + * bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0); + * + * See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ () + * helper for additional information. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * u64 bpf_perf_event_read(struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags) + * Description + * Read the value of a perf event counter. This helper relies on a + * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. The nature of + * the perf event counter is selected when *map* is updated with + * perf event file descriptors. The *map* is an array whose size + * is the number of available CPUs, and each cell contains a value + * relative to one CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by + * *flags*, that contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked + * with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to + * **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the + * current CPU should be retrieved. + * + * Note that before Linux 4.13, only hardware perf event can be + * retrieved. + * + * Also, be aware that the newer helper + * **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () is recommended over + * **bpf_perf_event_read*\ () in general. The latter has some ABI + * quirks where error and counter value are used as a return code + * (which is wrong to do since ranges may overlap). This issue is + * fixed with bpf_perf_event_read_value(), which at the same time + * provides more features over the **bpf_perf_event_read**\ () + * interface. Please refer to the description of + * **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () for details. + * Return + * The value of the perf event counter read from the map, or a + * negative error code in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_redirect(u32 ifindex, u64 flags) + * Description + * Redirect the packet to another net device of index *ifindex*. + * This helper is somewhat similar to **bpf_clone_redirect**\ + * (), except that the packet is not cloned, which provides + * increased performance. + * + * Except for XDP, both ingress and egress interfaces can be used + * for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used + * to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag + * is present, egress path otherwise). Currently, XDP only + * supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no + * flag at all. + * + * The same effect can be attained with the more generic + * **bpf_redirect_map**\ (), which requires specific maps to be + * used but offers better performance. + * Return + * For XDP, the helper returns **XDP_REDIRECT** on success or + * **XDP_ABORTED** on error. For other program types, the values + * are **TC_ACT_REDIRECT** on success or **TC_ACT_SHOT** on + * error. + * + * u32 bpf_get_route_realm(struct sk_buff *skb) + * Description + * Retrieve the realm or the route, that is to say the + * **tclassid** field of the destination for the *skb*. The + * indentifier retrieved is a user-provided tag, similar to the + * one used with the net_cls cgroup (see description for + * **bpf_get_cgroup_classid**\ () helper), but here this tag is + * held by a route (a destination entry), not by a task. + * + * Retrieving this identifier works with the clsact TC egress hook + * (see also **tc-bpf(8)**), or alternatively on conventional + * classful egress qdiscs, but not on TC ingress path. In case of + * clsact TC egress hook, this has the advantage that, internally, + * the destination entry has not been dropped yet in the transmit + * path. Therefore, the destination entry does not need to be + * artificially held via **netif_keep_dst**\ () for a classful + * qdisc until the *skb* is freed. + * + * This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with + * **CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID** configuration option. + * Return + * The realm of the route for the packet associated to *skb*, or 0 + * if none was found. + * + * int bpf_perf_event_output(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, void *data, u64 size) + * Description + * Write raw *data* blob into a special BPF perf event held by + * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. This perf + * event must have the following attributes: **PERF_SAMPLE_RAW** + * as **sample_type**, **PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE** as **type**, and + * **PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT** as **config**. + * + * The *flags* are used to indicate the index in *map* for which + * the value must be put, masked with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. + * Alternatively, *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** + * to indicate that the index of the current CPU core should be + * used. + * + * The value to write, of *size*, is passed through eBPF stack and + * pointed by *data*. + * + * The context of the program *ctx* needs also be passed to the + * helper. + * + * On user space, a program willing to read the values needs to + * call **perf_event_open**\ () on the perf event (either for + * one or for all CPUs) and to store the file descriptor into the + * *map*. This must be done before the eBPF program can send data + * into it. An example is available in file + * *samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c* in the Linux kernel source + * tree (the eBPF program counterpart is in + * *samples/bpf/trace_output_kern.c*). + * + * **bpf_perf_event_output**\ () achieves better performance + * than **bpf_trace_printk**\ () for sharing data with user + * space, and is much better suitable for streaming data from eBPF + * programs. + * + * Note that this helper is not restricted to tracing use cases + * and can be used with programs attached to TC or XDP as well, + * where it allows for passing data to user space listeners. Data + * can be: + * + * * Only custom structs, + * * Only the packet payload, or + * * A combination of both. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_skb_load_bytes(const struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, void *to, u32 len) + * Description + * This helper was provided as an easy way to load data from a + * packet. It can be used to load *len* bytes from *offset* from + * the packet associated to *skb*, into the buffer pointed by + * *to*. + * + * Since Linux 4.7, usage of this helper has mostly been replaced + * by "direct packet access", enabling packet data to be + * manipulated with *skb*\ **->data** and *skb*\ **->data_end** + * pointing respectively to the first byte of packet data and to + * the byte after the last byte of packet data. However, it + * remains useful if one wishes to read large quantities of data + * at once from a packet into the eBPF stack. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_get_stackid(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags) + * Description + * Walk a user or a kernel stack and return its id. To achieve + * this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer to the context + * on which the tracing program is executed, and a pointer to a + * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE**. + * + * The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to + * skip (from 0 to 255), masked with + * **BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set + * a combination of the following flags: + * + * **BPF_F_USER_STACK** + * Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack. + * **BPF_F_FAST_STACK_CMP** + * Compare stacks by hash only. + * **BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID** + * If two different stacks hash into the same *stackid*, + * discard the old one. + * + * The stack id retrieved is a 32 bit long integer handle which + * can be further combined with other data (including other stack + * ids) and used as a key into maps. This can be useful for + * generating a variety of graphs (such as flame graphs or off-cpu + * graphs). + * + * For walking a stack, this helper is an improvement over + * **bpf_probe_read**\ (), which can be used with unrolled loops + * but is not efficient and consumes a lot of eBPF instructions. + * Instead, **bpf_get_stackid**\ () can collect up to + * **PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames. Note that + * this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and + * that it should be manually increased in order to profile long + * user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use: + * + * :: + * + * # sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value> + * + * Return + * The positive or null stack id on success, or a negative error + * in case of failure. + * + * s64 bpf_csum_diff(__be32 *from, u32 from_size, __be32 *to, u32 to_size, __wsum seed) + * Description + * Compute a checksum difference, from the raw buffer pointed by + * *from*, of length *from_size* (that must be a multiple of 4), + * towards the raw buffer pointed by *to*, of size *to_size* + * (same remark). An optional *seed* can be added to the value + * (this can be cascaded, the seed may come from a previous call + * to the helper). + * + * This is flexible enough to be used in several ways: + * + * * With *from_size* == 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to + * checksum, it can be used when pushing new data. + * * With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* == 0 and *seed* set to + * checksum, it can be used when removing data from a packet. + * * With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to 0, it + * can be used to compute a diff. Note that *from_size* and + * *to_size* do not need to be equal. + * + * This helper can be used in combination with + * **bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ () and **bpf_l4_csum_replace**\ (), to + * which one can feed in the difference computed with + * **bpf_csum_diff**\ (). + * Return + * The checksum result, or a negative error code in case of + * failure. + * + * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size) + * Description + * Retrieve tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to + * *skb*, and store the raw tunnel option data to the buffer *opt* + * of *size*. + * + * This helper can be used with encapsulation devices that can + * operate in "collect metadata" mode (please refer to the related + * note in the description of **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ () for + * more details). A particular example where this can be used is + * in combination with the Geneve encapsulation protocol, where it + * allows for pushing (with **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ () helper) + * and retrieving arbitrary TLVs (Type-Length-Value headers) from + * the eBPF program. This allows for full customization of these + * headers. + * Return + * The size of the option data retrieved. + * + * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size) + * Description + * Set tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to *skb* + * to the option data contained in the raw buffer *opt* of *size*. + * + * See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ () + * helper for additional information. + * Return + * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure. + * + * int bpf_skb_change_proto(struct sk_buff *skb, __be16 proto, u64 flags) + * Description + * Change the protocol of the *skb* to *proto*. Currently + * supported are transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and from IPv6 to + * IPv4. The helper takes care of the groundwork for the + * transition, including resizing the socket buffer. The eBPF |
