2020-09-10tools: bpftool: Automate generation for "SEE ALSO" sections in man pagesQuentin Monnet
The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2), bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current one). This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple times in the past. Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are available in the same directory. v3: - Fix conflict with a previous patchset that introduced RST2MAN_OPTS variable passed to rst2man. v2: - Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of passing a format string directly to the command.

2020-09-10tools: bpftool: Include common options from separate fileQuentin Monnet
Nearly all man pages for bpftool have the same common set of option flags (--help, --version, --json, --pretty, --debug). The description is duplicated across all the pages, which is more difficult to maintain if the description of an option changes. It may also be confusing to sort out what options are not "common" and should not be copied when creating new manual pages. Let's move the description for those common options to a separate file, which is included with a RST directive when generating the man pages.

2020-05-11tools, bpftool: Minor fixes for documentationQuentin Monnet
Bring minor improvements to bpftool documentation. Fix or harmonise formatting, update map types (including in interactive help), improve description for "map create", fix a build warning due to a missing line after the double-colon for the "bpftool prog profile" example, complete/harmonise/sort the list of related bpftool man pages in footers. v2: - Remove (instead of changing) mark-up on "value" in bpftool-map.rst, when it does not refer to something passed on the command line. - Fix an additional typo ("hexadeximal") in the same file.

2019-05-28tools: bpftool: add -d option to get debug output from libbpfQuentin Monnet
libbpf has three levels of priority for output messages: warn, info, debug. By default, debug output is not printed to the console. Add a new "--debug" (short name: "-d") option to bpftool to print libbpf logs for all three levels. Internally, we simply use the function provided by libbpf to replace the default printing function by one that prints logs regardless of their level. v2: - Remove the possibility to select the log-levels to use (v1 offered a combination of "warn", "info" and "debug"). - Rename option and offer a short name: -d|--debug. - Add option description to all bpftool manual pages (instead of bpftool-prog.rst only), as all commands use libbpf.

2019-04-16tools: bpftool: fix short option name for printing version in man pagesQuentin Monnet
Manual pages would tell that option "-v" (lower case) would print the version number for bpftool. This is wrong: the short name of the option is "-V" (upper case). Fix the documentation accordingly.

2019-01-22tools: bpftool: add basic probe capability, probe syscall availabilityQuentin Monnet
Add a new component and command for bpftool, in order to probe the system to dump a set of eBPF-related parameters so that users can know what features are available on the system. Parameters are dumped in plain or JSON output (with -j/-p options). The current patch introduces probing of one simple parameter: availability of the bpf() system call. Later commits will add other probes. Sample output: # bpftool feature probe kernel Scanning system call availability... bpf() syscall is available # bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel { "syscall_config": { "have_bpf_syscall": true } } The optional "kernel" keyword enforces probing of the current system, which is the only possible behaviour at this stage. It can be safely omitted. The feature comes with the relevant man page, but bash completion will come in a dedicated commit. v3: - Do not probe kernel version. Contrarily to what is written below for v2, we can have the kernel version retrieved in libbpf instead of bpftool (in the patch adding probing for program types). v2: - Remove C-style macros output from this patch. - Even though kernel version is no longer needed for testing kprobes availability, note that we still collect it in this patch so that bpftool gets able to probe (in next patches) older kernels as well.

2018-09-18tools/bpf: bpftool: improve output format for bpftool netYonghong Song
This is a followup patch for Commit f6f3bac08ff9 ("tools/bpf: bpftool: add net support"). Some improvements are made for the bpftool net output. Specially, plain output is more concise such that per attachment should nicely fit in one line. Compared to previous output, the prog tag is removed since it can be easily obtained with program id. Similar to xdp attachments, the device name is added to tc attachments. The bpf program attached through shared block mechanism is supported as well. $ ip link add dev v1 type veth peer name v2 $ tc qdisc add dev v1 ingress_block 10 egress_block 20 clsact $ tc qdisc add dev v2 ingress_block 10 egress_block 20 clsact $ tc filter add block 10 protocol ip prio 25 bpf obj bpf_shared.o sec ingress flowid 1:1 $ tc filter add block 20 protocol ip prio 30 bpf obj bpf_cyclic.o sec classifier flowid 1:1 $ bpftool net xdp: tc: v2(7) clsact/ingress bpf_shared.o:[ingress] id 23 v2(7) clsact/egress bpf_cyclic.o:[classifier] id 24 v1(8) clsact/ingress bpf_shared.o:[ingress] id 23 v1(8) clsact/egress bpf_cyclic.o:[classifier] id 24 The documentation and "bpftool net help" are updated to make it clear that current implementation only supports xdp and tc attachments. For programs attached to cgroups, "bpftool cgroup" can be used to dump attachments. For other programs e.g. sk_{filter,skb,msg,reuseport} and lwt/seg6, iproute2 tools should be used. The new output: $ bpftool net xdp: eth0(2) driver id 198 tc: eth0(2) clsact/ingress fbflow_icmp id 335 act [{icmp_action id 336}] eth0(2) clsact/egress fbflow_egress id 334 $ bpftool -jp net [{ "xdp": [{ "devname": "eth0", "ifindex": 2, "mode": "driver", "id": 198 } ], "tc": [{ "devname": "eth0", "ifindex": 2, "kind": "clsact/ingress", "name": "fbflow_icmp", "id": 335, "act": [{ "name": "icmp_action", "id": 336 } ] },{ "devname": "eth0", "ifindex": 2, "kind": "clsact/egress", "name": "fbflow_egress", "id": 334 } ] } ] Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
2018-09-06tools/bpf: bpftool: add net supportYonghong Song
Add "bpftool net" support. Networking devices are enumerated to dump device index/name associated with xdp progs. For each networking device, tc classes and qdiscs are enumerated in order to check their bpf filters. In addition, root handle and clsact ingress/egress are also checked for bpf filters. Not all filter information is printed out. Only ifindex, kind, filter name, prog_id and tag are printed out, which are good enough to show attachment information. If the filter action is a bpf action, its bpf program id, bpf name and tag will be printed out as well. For example, $ ./bpftool net xdp [ ifindex 2 devname eth0 prog_id 198 ] tc_filters [ ifindex 2 kind qdisc_htb name prefix_matcher.o:[cls_prefix_matcher_htb] prog_id 111727 tag d08fe3b4319bc2fd act [] ifindex 2 kind qdisc_clsact_ingress name fbflow_icmp prog_id 130246 tag 3f265c7f26db62c9 act [] ifindex 2 kind qdisc_clsact_egress name prefix_matcher.o:[cls_prefix_matcher_clsact] prog_id 111726 tag 99a197826974c876 ifindex 2 kind qdisc_clsact_egress name cls_fg_dscp prog_id 108619 tag dc4630674fd72dcc act [] ifindex 2 kind qdisc_clsact_egress name fbflow_egress prog_id 130245 tag 72d2d830d6888d2c ] $ ./bpftool -jp net [{ "xdp": [{ "ifindex": 2, "devname": "eth0", "prog_id": 198 } ], "tc_filters": [{ "ifindex": 2, "kind": "qdisc_htb", "name": "prefix_matcher.o:[cls_prefix_matcher_htb]", "prog_id": 111727, "tag": "d08fe3b4319bc2fd", "act": [] },{ "ifindex": 2, "kind": "qdisc_clsact_ingress", "name": "fbflow_icmp", "prog_id": 130246, "tag": "3f265c7f26db62c9", "act": [] },{ "ifindex": 2, "kind": "qdisc_clsact_egress", "name": "prefix_matcher.o:[cls_prefix_matcher_clsact]", "prog_id": 111726, "tag": "99a197826974c876" },{ "ifindex": 2, "kind": "qdisc_clsact_egress", "name": "cls_fg_dscp", "prog_id": 108619, "tag": "dc4630674fd72dcc", "act": [] },{ "ifindex": 2, "kind": "qdisc_clsact_egress", "name": "fbflow_egress", "prog_id": 130245, "tag": "72d2d830d6888d2c" } ] } ] Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
