hi,
adding d_path helper to return full path for 'path' object.
In a preparation for that, this patchset also adds support for BTF ID
whitelists, because d_path can't be called from any probe due to its
locks usage. The whitelists allow verifier to check if the caller is
one of the functions from the whitelist.
The whitelist is implemented in a generic way. This patchset introduces
macros that allow to define lists of BTF IDs, which are compiled in
the kernel image in a new .BTF.ids ELF section.
The generic way of BTF ID lists allows us to use them in other places
in kernel (than just for whitelists), that could use static BTF ID
values compiled in and it's also implemented in this patchset.
I originally added and used 'file_path' helper, which did the same,
but used 'struct file' object. Then realized that file_path is just
a wrapper for d_path, so we'd cover more calling sites if we add
d_path helper and allowed resolving BTF object within another object,
so we could call d_path also with file pointer, like:
bpf_d_path(&file->f_path, buf, size);
This feature is mainly to be able to add dpath (filepath originally)
function to bpftrace:
# bpftrace -e 'kfunc:vfs_open { printf("%s\n", dpath(args->path)); }'
v4 changes:
- added ID sanity checks in btf_resolve_helper_id [Andrii]
- resolve bpf_ctx_convert via BTF_ID [Andrii]
- keep bpf_access_type in btf_struct_access [Andrii]
- rename whitelist to se and use struct btf_id_set [Andrii]
- several fixes for d_path prog/verifier tests [Andrii]
- added union and typedefs types support [Andrii]
- rename btfid to resolve_btfids [Andrii]
- fix segfault in resolve_btfids [John]
- rename section from .BTF_ids .BTF.ids (following .BTF.ext example)
- add .BTF.ids section info into btf.rst [John]
- updated over letter with more details [John]
