Software event output is only enabled by a few prog types right now (TC, LWT out, XDP, sockops). Many other skb based prog types need bpf_skb_event_output to produce software event. Added socket_filter, cg_skb, sk_skb prog types to generate sw event. Test bpf code is generated from code snippet: struct TMP { uint64_t tmp; } tt; tt.tmp = 5; bpf_perf_event_output(skb, &connection_tracking_event_map, 0, &tt, sizeof(tt)); return 1; the bpf assembly from llvm is: 0: b7 02 00 00 05 00 00 00 r2 = 5 1: 7b 2a f8 ff 00 00 00 00 *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = r2 2: bf a4 00 00 00 00 00 00 r4 = r10 3: 07 04 00 00 f8 ff ff ff r4 += -8 4: 18 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 r2 = 0ll 6: b7 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 r3 = 0 7: b7 05 00 00 08 00 00 00 r5 = 8 8: 85 00 00 00 19 00 00 00 call 25 9: b7 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 r0 = 1 10: 95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit Signed-off-by: Allan Zhang <allanzhang@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@xxxxxx> --- net/core/filter.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/core/filter.c b/net/core/filter.c index 4e2a79b2fd77..3961437ccc50 100644 --- a/net/core/filter.c +++ b/net/core/filter.c @@ -5999,6 +5999,8 @@ sk_filter_func_proto(enum bpf_func_id func_id, const struct bpf_prog *prog) return &bpf_get_socket_cookie_proto; case BPF_FUNC_get_socket_uid: return &bpf_get_socket_uid_proto; + case BPF_FUNC_perf_event_output: + return &bpf_skb_event_output_proto; default: return bpf_base_func_proto(func_id); } @@ -6019,6 +6021,8 @@ cg_skb_func_proto(enum bpf_func_id func_id, const struct bpf_prog *prog) return &bpf_sk_storage_get_proto; case BPF_FUNC_sk_storage_delete: return &bpf_sk_storage_delete_proto; + case BPF_FUNC_perf_event_output: + return &bpf_skb_event_output_proto; #ifdef CONFIG_SOCK_CGROUP_DATA case BPF_FUNC_skb_cgroup_id: return &bpf_skb_cgroup_id_proto; @@ -6267,6 +6271,8 @@ sk_skb_func_proto(enum bpf_func_id func_id, const struct bpf_prog *prog) return &bpf_sk_redirect_map_proto; case BPF_FUNC_sk_redirect_hash: return &bpf_sk_redirect_hash_proto; + case BPF_FUNC_perf_event_output: + return &bpf_skb_event_output_proto; #ifdef CONFIG_INET case BPF_FUNC_sk_lookup_tcp: return &bpf_sk_lookup_tcp_proto; -- 2.22.0.709.g102302147b-goog
