<content type='text'>
Currently, when using prog loadall and the pin path is a bpffs mountpoint,
bpffs will be repeatedly mounted to the parent directory of the bpffs
mountpoint path. For example, a `bpftool prog loadall test.o /sys/fs/bpf`
will trigger this.

Dump protocol family, hook and priority value:
$ bpftool link
2: netfilter  prog 14
        ip input prio -128
        pids install(3264)
5: netfilter  prog 14

flow_dissector:

netfilter:

        ip prerouting prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip input prio -128 prog_id 14

        ip output prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip postrouting prio 21 prog_id 14

'bpftool net' only dumps netfilter link type, links are sorted by protocol
family, hook and priority.

v5: fix bpf ci failure: libbpf needs small update to prog_type_name[]
    and probe_prog_load helper.
v4: don't fail with -EOPNOTSUPP in libbpf probe_prog_load, update
    prog_type_name[] with "netfilter" entry (bpf ci)
v3: fix bpf.h copy, 'reserved' member was removed (Alexei)
    use p_err, not fprintf (Quentin)

<title>bpftool: Register struct_ops with a link.</title>

<content type='text'>
You can include an optional path after specifying the object name for the
'struct_ops register' subcommand.

Since the commit 226bc6ae6405 ("Merge branch 'Transit between BPF TCP
congestion controls.'") has been accepted, it is now possible to create a
link for a struct_ops. This can be done by defining a struct_ops in
SEC(".struct_ops.link") to make libbpf returns a real link. If we don't pin
the links before leaving bpftool, they will disappear. To instruct bpftool
to pin the links in a directory with the names of the maps, we need to
provide the path of that directory.

<content type='text'>
Add support for displaying opcodes or/and file references (filepath,
line and column numbers) when dumping the control flow graphs of loaded
BPF programs with bpftool.

The filepaths in the records are absolute. To avoid blocks on the graph
to get too wide, we truncate them when they get too long (but we always
keep the entire file name). In the unlikely case where the resulting
file name is ambiguous, it remains possible to get the full path with a
regular dump (no CFG).

<title>bpftool: Support inline annotations when dumping the CFG of a program</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9fd496848b1c4cd04fee5f152bb7bcec11e1b901</id>
<content type='text'>
We support dumping the control flow graph of loaded programs to the DOT
format with bpftool, but so far this feature wouldn't display the source
code lines available through BTF along with the eBPF bytecode. Let's add
support for these annotations, to make it easier to read the graph.

In prog.c, we move the call to dump_xlated_cfg() in order to pass and
use the full struct dump_data, instead of creating a minimal one in
draw_bb_node().

We pass the pointer to this struct down to dump_xlated_for_graph() in
xlated_dumper.c, where most of the logics is added. We deal with BTF
mostly like we do for plain or JSON output, except that we cannot use a
"nr_skip" value to skip a given number of linfo records (we don't
process the BPF instructions linearly, and apart from the root of the
graph we don't know how many records we should skip, so we just store
the last linfo and make sure the new one we find is different before
printing it).

When printing the source instructions to the label of a DOT graph node,
there are a few subtleties to address. We want some special newline
markers, and there are some characters that we must escape. To deal with
them, we introduce a new dedicated function btf_dump_linfo_dotlabel() in
btf_dumper.c. We'll reuse this function in a later commit to format the
filepath, line, and column references as well.

Use the new type-safe wrappers around bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd().

Split the bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd() call in build_btf_type_table() in
two, since knowing the type helps with the Memory Sanitizer.

Improve map_parse_fd_and_info() type safety by using
struct bpf_map_info * instead of void * for info.

<title>libbpf: Hashmap interface update to allow both long and void* keys/values</title>
<updated>2022-11-10T04:45:14Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Eduard Zingerman</name>
</author>
<published>2022-11-09T14:26:09Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=c302378bc157f6a73b6cae4ca67f5f6aa931dcec'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c302378bc157f6a73b6cae4ca67f5f6aa931dcec</id>
<content type='text'>
An update for libbpf's hashmap interface from void* -&gt; void* to a
polymorphic one, allowing both long and void* keys and values.

This simplifies many use cases in libbpf as hashmaps there are mostly
integer to integer.

Perf copies hashmap implementation from libbpf and has to be
updated as well.

Changes to libbpf, selftests/bpf and perf are packed as a single
commit to avoid compilation issues with any future bisect.

Polymorphic interface is acheived by hiding hashmap interface
functions behind auxiliary macros that take care of necessary
type casts, for example:

    #define hashmap_cast_ptr(p)						\
	({								\
		_Static_assert((p) == NULL || sizeof(*(p)) == sizeof(long),\
			       #p " pointee should be a long-sized integer or a pointer"); \
		(long *)(p);						\
	})

    bool hashmap_find(const struct hashmap *map, long key, long *value);

    #define hashmap__find(map, key, value) \
		hashmap_find((map), (long)(key), hashmap_cast_ptr(value))

- hashmap__find macro casts key and value parameters to long
  and long* respectively
- hashmap_cast_ptr ensures that value pointer points to a memory
  of appropriate size.

This hack was suggested by Andrii Nakryiko in [1].
This is a follow up for [2].

<title>bpftool: Support setting alternative arch for JIT disasm with LLVM</title>

<content type='text'>
For offloaded BPF programs, instead of failing to create the
LLVM disassembler without even looking for a triple at all, do run the
function that attempts to retrieve a valid architecture name for the
device.

It will still fail for the LLVM disassembler, because currently we have
no valid triple to return (NFP disassembly is not supported by LLVM).
But failing in that function is more logical than to assume in
jit_disasm.c that passing an "arch" name is simply not supported.

<title>bpftool: Add LLVM as default library for disassembling JIT-ed programs</title>
<updated>2022-10-25T17:11:56Z</updated>

<published>2022-10-25T15:03:27Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=eb9d1acf634baf6401dfb4f67dc895290713a357'/>
<id>urn:sha1:eb9d1acf634baf6401dfb4f67dc895290713a357</id>
<content type='text'>
To disassemble instructions for JIT-ed programs, bpftool has relied on
the libbfd library. This has been problematic in the past: libbfd's
interface is not meant to be stable and has changed several times. For
building bpftool, we have to detect how the libbfd version on the system
behaves, which is why we have to handle features disassembler-four-args
and disassembler-init-styled in the Makefile. When it comes to shipping
bpftool, this has also caused issues with several distribution
maintainers unwilling to support the feature (see for example Debian's
page for binutils-dev, which ships libbfd: "Note that building Debian
packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not Allowed." [0]).

For these reasons, we add support for LLVM as an alternative to libbfd
for disassembling instructions of JIT-ed programs. Thanks to the
preparation work in the previous commits, it's easy to add the library
by passing the relevant compilation options in the Makefile, and by
adding the functions for setting up the LLVM disassembler in file
jit_disasm.c.

The LLVM disassembler requires the LLVM development package (usually
llvm-dev or llvm-devel).

The expectation is that the interface for this disassembler will be more
stable. There is a note in LLVM's Developer Policy [1] stating that the
stability for the C API is "best effort" and not guaranteed, but at
least there is some effort to keep compatibility when possible (which
hasn't really been the case for libbfd so far). Furthermore, the Debian
page for the related LLVM package does not caution against linking to
the lib, as binutils-dev page does.

Naturally, the display of disassembled instructions comes with a few
minor differences. Here is a sample output with libbfd (already
supported before this patch):

    # bpftool prog dump jited id 56
    bpf_prog_6deef7357e7b4530:
       0:   nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
       5:   xchg   %ax,%ax
       7:   push   %rbp
       8:   mov    %rsp,%rbp
       b:   push   %rbx
       c:   push   %r13
       e:   push   %r14
      10:   mov    %rdi,%rbx
      13:   movzwq 0xb4(%rbx),%r13
      1b:   xor    %r14d,%r14d
      1e:   or     $0x2,%r14d
      22:   mov    $0x1,%eax
      27:   cmp    $0x2,%r14
      2b:   jne    0x000000000000002f
      2d:   xor    %eax,%eax
      2f:   pop    %r14
      31:   pop    %r13
      33:   pop    %rbx
      34:   leave
      35:   ret

LLVM supports several variants that we could set when initialising the
disassembler, for example with:

    LLVMSetDisasmOptions(*ctx,
                         LLVMDisassembler_Option_AsmPrinterVariant);

but the default printer is used for now. Here is the output with LLVM:

    # bpftool prog dump jited id 56
    bpf_prog_6deef7357e7b4530:
       0:   nopl    (%rax,%rax)
       5:   nop
       7:   pushq   %rbp
       8:   movq    %rsp, %rbp
       b:   pushq   %rbx
       c:   pushq   %r13
       e:   pushq   %r14
      10:   movq    %rdi, %rbx
      13:   movzwq  180(%rbx), %r13
      1b:   xorl    %r14d, %r14d
      1e:   orl     $2, %r14d
      22:   movl    $1, %eax
      27:   cmpq    $2, %r14
      2b:   jne     0x2f
      2d:   xorl    %eax, %eax
      2f:   popq    %r14
      31:   popq    %r13
      33:   popq    %rbx
      34:   leave
      35:   retq

The LLVM disassembler comes as the default choice, with libbfd as a
fall-back.

Of course, we could replace libbfd entirely and avoid supporting two
different libraries. One reason for keeping libbfd is that, right now,
it works well, we have all we need in terms of features detection in the
Makefile, so it provides a fallback for disassembling JIT-ed programs if
libbfd is installed but LLVM is not. The other motivation is that libbfd
supports nfp instruction for Netronome's SmartNICs and can be used to
disassemble offloaded programs, something that LLVM cannot do. If
libbfd's interface breaks again in the future, we might reconsider
keeping support for it.
