Any idea what could be the case here? The same fentry/fexit
attach
code works fine in the xdp_bpf2bpf.c tests case.

I think this is not supported now. That is, you cannot attach a
fentry
trace
to the EXT program. The current implementation for fentry
program simply
trying to find and match the signature of freplace program which
by
default
is a pointer to void.
It is doable in that in kernel we could recognize to-be-attached
program
is
a freplace and further trace down to find the real signature. The
related
kernel function is btf_get_prog_ctx_type(). You can try to
implement by
yourself
or I can have a patch for this once bpf-next opens.
I’m not familiar with this area of the code, so if you could
prepare
a patch
that would nice.
You can also send it to me before bpf-next opens and I can verify
it, and
clean up the self-test so it can be included as well.
hi,
it seems that you cannot exten fentry/fexit programs,
but it's possible to attach fentry/fexit to ext program.
/* Program extensions can extend all program types
* except fentry/fexit. The reason is the following.
* The fentry/fexit programs are used for performance
* analysis, stats and can be attached to any program
* type except themselves. When extension program is
* replacing XDP function it is necessary to allow
* performance analysis of all functions. Both original
* XDP program and its program extension. Hence
* attaching fentry/fexit to BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT is

* would be possible to create long call chain
* fentry->extension->fentry->extension beyond
* reasonable stack size. Hence extending fentry is not
* allowed.

I changed fexit_bpf2bpf.c test just to do a quick check
and it seems to work:
Hi Jiri this is exactly what I’m trying, however when you do this
where the
first argument is a pointer to some context data which you are
accessing
it’s failing in the verifier.
This is a link to the original email, which has a test patch attached
that
will show the failure when trying to load/attach the fentry function
and
access the context:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/159162546868.10791.12432342618156330247.stgit@ebuild/
ok, I tried to trace ext program with __sk_buff argument and I can see
the issue as well.. can't acess the skb argument
patch below fixes it for me, I can access the skb pointer and its data
via probe read, like:
SEC("fexit/new_get_skb_ifindex")
int BPF_PROG(fexit_new_get_skb_ifindex, int val, struct __sk_buff
*skb, int var, int ret)
{
__u32 data;
int err;
bpf_printk("EXIT skb %p", skb);
bpf_probe_read_kernel(&data, sizeof(data), &skb->data);
bpf_printk("EXIT ret %d, data %p", err, data);
return 0;
}
I think it should fix the xdp_md acess as well
Excellent patch ;) It works with xdp_md as well, and even better it does
not require the bpf_probe_read_kernel(), so the test_xdp_bpf2bpf.c code
just works.
Are you planning to send the patch upstream?
