2015-11-06bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reportingWang Nan
In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors. Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the CHECK_ERR() macro. All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them. bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will be improved by the following patch. load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid program or other problem. v1 -> v2: - Using macro for error code. - Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop. - Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD. In v1: # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o' \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object SKIP # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o' \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object SKIP # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_big_program.o' \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object SKIP In v2: # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o' \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading SKIP # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o' \___ Incorrect kernel version SKIP (Will be further improved by following patches) # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o event syntax error: './test_big_program.o' \___ Program too big SKIP Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1446817783-86722-2-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-09-22tools lib bpf: Use FEATURE_USER to allow building in the same dir as perfArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When building tools/lib/bpf as part of the tools/perf/ build process, which will happend when we introduce a patch wiring that up, we end up stomping on the feature detection caching mechanism, that uses a file in the output directory (O=) that is shared by libbpf and perf to check if something changed from one build to another that requires redoing the feature detection process. By using the recently introduced FEATURE_USER tools/build/ knob, we can avoid that: Before, every make invokation would run the feature detection: $ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf' Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ on ] ... glibc: [ on ] <SNIP> ... get_cpuid: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] GEN perf-archive GEN perf-with-kcore Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] <SNIP> After: $ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf' BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build make: Leaving directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf' $ Because we now have two different feature detection state files: $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP* -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 338 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 33 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf $ Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Fixes: 1b76c13e4b36 ("bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-s6ev9wfqy7pvvs58emys2g90@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2015-09-22tools lib bpf: Fix up FEATURE_{TESTS,DISPLAY} usageArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When libbpf was introduced it wrongly asked for the "libelf" and "bpf" feature tests to be performed (via FEATURE_TESTS), while asking that "libbpf", "libelf-mmap", "libelf-getphdrnum" and "bpf" to have the result of its respective tests to be displayed (via FEATURE_DISPLAY). Due to another recently bug fixed in the tools/build/ infrastructure ("tools build: Fixup feature detection display function name") the results for the entries in the FEATURE_DISPLAY, for this case, were appearing as all succeeding, when two of them (the ones only on the DISPLAY) were not even being performed. Before: $ make -C tools/lib/bpf/ make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/lib/bpf' Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... libelf-getphdrnum: [ OFF ] ... libelf-mmap: [ OFF ] ... bpf: [ on ] <SNIP> After, with FEATURE_TESTS == FEATURE_DISPLAY: Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... libelf-getphdrnum: [ on ] ... libelf-mmap: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] <SNIP> I just inverted, so that it tests the four features but displays just the libelf and mmap ones, to make it more compact.

2015-08-31bpf tools: New API to get name from a BPF objectWang Nan
Before this patch there's no way to connect a loaded bpf object to its source file. However, during applying perf's '--filter' to BPF object, without this connection makes things harder, because perf loads all programs together, but '--filter' setting is for each object. The API of bpf_object__open_buffer() is changed to allow passing a name. Fortunately, at this time there's only one user of it (perf test LLVM), so we change it together.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Load eBPF programs in object files into kernelWang Nan
This patch utilizes previous introduced bpf_load_program to load programs in the ELF file into kernel. Result is stored in 'fd' field in 'struct bpf_program'. During loading, it allocs a log buffer and free it before return. Note that that buffer is not passed to bpf_load_program() if the first loading try is successful. Doesn't use a statically allocated log buffer to avoid potention multi-thread problem. Instructions collected during opening is cleared after loading. load_program() is created for loading a 'struct bpf_insn' array into kernel, bpf_program__load() calls it. By this design we have a function loads instructions into kernel. It will be used by further patches, which creates different instances from a program and load them into kernel.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programsWang Nan
If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction which loads an absolute address into a register, like this: ld_64 r1, <MCOperand Expr:(mymap)> ... call 2 That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section. To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by eBPF map functions. This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by patches: 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section', 'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections' and 'bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program'. For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction. This is the final part of map relocation patch. The principle of map relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section'.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object fileWang Nan
This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using bpf_create_map(), and stores the fds into an array in 'struct bpf_object'. Previous patches parse ELF object file and collects required data, but doesn't play with the kernel. They belong to the 'opening' phase. This patch is the first patch in 'loading' phase. The 'loaded' field is introduced in 'struct bpf_object' to avoid loading an object twice, because the loading phase clears resources collected during the opening which becomes useless after loading.

This patch records the indices of instructions which are needed to be relocated. That information is saved in the 'reloc_desc' field in 'struct bpf_program'. In the loading phase (this patch takes effect in the opening phase), the collected instructions will be replaced by map loading instructions. Since we are going to close the ELF file and clear all data at the end of the 'opening' phase, the ELF information will no longer be valid in the 'loading' phase. We have to locate the instructions before maps are loaded, instead of directly modifying the instruction. 'struct bpf_map_def' is introduced in this patch to let us know how many maps are defined in the object. This is the third part of map relocation.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB sectionWang Nan
This patch collects symbols section. This section is useful when linking BPF maps. What 'bpf_map_xxx()' functions actually require are map's file descriptors (and the internal verifier converts fds into pointers to 'struct bpf_map'), which we don't know when compiling. Therefore, we should make compiler generate a 'ldr_64 r1, <imm>' instruction, and fill the 'imm' field with the actual file descriptor when loading in libbpf. BPF programs should be written in this way: struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") my_map = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, .key_size = sizeof(unsigned long), .value_size = sizeof(unsigned long), .max_entries = 1000000, }; SEC("my_func=sys_write") int my_func(void *ctx) { ... bpf_map_update_elem(&my_map, &key, &value, BPF_ANY); ... } Compiler should convert '&my_map' into a 'ldr_64, r1, <imm>' instruction, where imm should be the address of 'my_map'. According to the address, libbpf knows which map it actually referenced, and then fills the imm field with the 'fd' of that map created by it. However, since we never really 'link' the object file, the imm field is only a record in relocation section. Therefore libbpf should do the relocation: 1. In relocation section (type == SHT_REL), positions of each such 'ldr_64' instruction are recorded with a reference of an entry in symbol table (SHT_SYMTAB); 2. From records in symbol table we can find the indics of map variables. Libbpf first record SHT_SYMTAB and positions of each instruction which required bu such operation. Then create file descriptor. Finally, after map creation complete, replace the imm field. This is the first patch of BPF map related stuff. It records SHT_SYMTAB into object's efile field for further use.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Check endianness and make libbpf fail earlyWang Nan
Check endianness according to EHDR. Code is taken from tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c. Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianness. Even if we swap eBPF instructions to correct byte order, we are unable to deal with endianness in code logical generated by LLVM. Therefore, libbpf should simply reject missmatched ELF object, and let LLVM to create good code.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Read eBPF object from bufferWang Nan
To support dynamic compiling, this patch allows caller to pass a in-memory buffer to libbpf by bpf_object__open_buffer(). libbpf calls elf_memory() to open it as ELF object file. Because __bpf_object__open() collects all required data and won't need that buffer anymore, libbpf uses that buffer directly instead of clone a new buffer. Caller of libbpf can free that buffer or use it do other things after bpf_object__open_buffer() return.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Open eBPF object file and do basic validationWang Nan
This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic validation according to e_type and e_machine. All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of 'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it. After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory. The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature checkWang Nan
This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates 'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories. Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent. Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found, the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure 'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found. Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr' (bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature, which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel. To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced 'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added into libbpf's specific.
