[PATCH v3 bpf-next 0/9] libbpf ksym support and bpftool show PIDs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch set implements libbpf support for a second kind of special externs,
kernel symbols, in addition to existing Kconfig externs. 

Right now, only untyped (const void) externs are supported, which, in
C language, allow only to take their address. In the future, with kernel BTF
getting type info about its own global and per-cpu variables, libbpf will
extend this support with BTF type info, which will allow to also directly
access variable's contents and follow its internal pointers, similarly to how
it's possible today in fentry/fexit programs.

As a first practical use of this functionality, bpftool gained ability to show
PIDs of processes that have open file descriptors for BPF map/program/link/BTF
object. It relies on iter/task_file BPF iterator program to extract this
information efficiently.

There was a bunch of bpftool refactoring (especially Makefile) necessary to
generalize bpftool's internal BPF program use. This includes generalization of
BPF skeletons support, addition of a vmlinux.h generation, extracting and
building minimal subset of bpftool for bootstrapping.

v2->v3:
- fix sec_btf_id check (Hao);

v1->v2:
- docs fixes (Quentin);
- dual GPL/BSD license for pid_inter.bpf.c (Quentin);
- NULL-init kcfg_data (Hao Luo);

rfc->v1:
- show pids, if supported by kernel, always (Alexei);
- switched iter output to binary to support showing process names;
- update man pages;
- fix few minor bugs in libbpf w.r.t. extern iteration.
