      skip probe rewriter for bpf_probe_read() · 20fb64cd
      Yonghong Song authored
      bpf_probe_read() is often used to access pointees in bpf programs.
      Recent rewriter has become smarter so a lot of bpf_probe_read()
      can be replaced with simple pointer/member access.
      
      In certain cases, bpf_probe_read() is still preferred though.
      For example, kernel net/tcp.h defined TCP_SKB_CB as below
        #define TCP_SKB_CB(__skb)	((struct tcp_skb_cb *)&((__skb)->cb[0]))
      User can use below to access tcp_gso_size of a skb data structure.
        TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_size
      The rewriter will fail as it attempts to rewrite (__skb)->cb[0].
      
      Instead of chasing down to prevent exactly the above pattern,
      this patch detects function bpf_probe_read() in ProbeVisitor and
      will skip it so bpf_probe_read()'s third parameter is a AddrOf.
      This can also help other cases where rewriter is not
      capable and user used bpf_probe_read() as the workaround.
      
      Also fixed tcptop.py to use direct assignment instead of
      bpf_probe_read. Otherwise, rewriter will actually rewrite
      src address reference inside the bpf_probe_read().

      In 4.17 kernel, x86 build requires compiler asm-goto support. clang
      does not support asm-goto and bpf program compilation started to break.

            x86/cpufeature: Guard asm_volatile_goto usage for BPF compilation
      
            Workaround for the sake of BPF compilation which utilizes kernel
            headers, but clang does not support ASM GOTO and fails the build.
      
      workarounded the issue by permitting native clang compilation.
      A warning message, however, is issued:
      
        ./arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h:150:2: warning: "Compiler lacks ASM_GOTO support.
              Add -D __BPF_TRACING__ to your compiler arguments" [-W#warnings]
        #warning "Compiler lacks ASM_GOTO support. Add -D __BPF_TRACING__ to your compil...
         ^
        1 warning generated.
      
      This patch added "-D __BPF_TRACING__" to clang frontend compilation to
      suppress the warning.

      The BPF.get_kprobe_functions method tests if the passed argument
      matches with a line of kallsyms, which is opened in binary mode.
      Therefore the regex pattern must be bytes as well.

      let rewriter add code to define CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR · bace5f24
      Yonghong Song authored
      Fix issue #1730
      
      Linux kernel commit 2bc2f688fdf8 ("Makefile: move stack-protector
      availability out of Kconfig") moved CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR
      from Kconfig to Makefile. Commit 44c6dc940b19 ("Makefile: introduce
      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO") introduced CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO.
      
      Whether CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is defined depends on
      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_{AUTO,REGULAR,STRONG}. Since the clang supports
      stack-protector, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO will imply
      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR for gcc/clang based compilation.
      
      Such changes are introduced in 4.16. For example, the following code
      is defined in linux/include/linux/sched.h,
      ```
              pid_t                           pid;
              pid_t                           tgid;
      
              /* Canary value for the -fstack-protector GCC feature: */
              unsigned long                   stack_canary;
              /*
               * Pointers to the (original) parent process, youngest child, younger sibling,
               * older sibling, respectively.  (p->father can be replaced with
               * p->real_parent->pid)
               */
      
              /* Real parent process: */
              struct task_struct __rcu        *real_parent;
      ```
      If kernel config has CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_{STRONG,REGULAR,AUTO} defined,
      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR will be defined in compilation flags by kernel toplevel Makefile.
      But since CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is not defined in configuration file autoconf.h,
      bcc will consider it is not defined. This will cause bcc to access wrong data
      in task_struct for any fields after the above stack_canary.
      
      Instead to fix any individual tool, in this patch the bcc rewriter added necessary
      macro definition for CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR in the source code, depending on
      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_{AUTO,REGULAR,STRONG}.

      Fix dereference replacements for pointers to pointers · 471f1ea1
      Paul Chaignon authored
      Currently, the bcc rewriter is unable to track external pointers if
      there is more than a single level of indirection (e.g., pointer to
      external pointer).  For example, in the following, the rewriter is
      unable to detect that ptr2 doesn't need a call to bpf_probe_read,
      only *ptr2 do.
      
      int test(struct pt_regs *ctx, struct sock *sk) {
          struct sock *ptr1;
          struct sock **ptr2 = &ptr1;
          *ptr2 = sk;
          return ((struct sock *)(*ptr2))->sk_daddr;
      }
      
      This commit fixes this issue by tracking the levels of indirections
      in addition to the variable declarations (identifies each variable).
      When traversing dereferences, the level of indirections is used to
      decide whether the base expression is an external pointer.  The level
      of indirections is inherited when a pointer is assigned to a new
      variable (assignments and function calls).

      Add extra_flag option to bpf_attach_perf_event_raw · bf2513df
      Teng Qin authored
      The bpf_attach_perf_event_raw API is designed to provide maximum
      flexibility for people to use advanced features of Kernel Perf Events
      with BPF. Some times specifying flags is neccesary, such as if we want
      to use `PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP` to profile a container. This commit adds
      `extra_flag` option to C and C++ interface

      It would be nice for users be able to call init() and see if the probe
      exists / well-formatted before sending them to BPF instance

      link with bpf-static library for bps · 1ed1c9bd
      Yonghong Song authored
      the issue is reported at #1759.
      
      bps does not need any C++ library functions in bcc.
      It only needs libbpf. So link it with bpf-static instead
      of bcc-static. This avoids pulling in any C++ module/symbolization/usdt
      functions and llvm libraries.
      
      On my local box, the binary size is reduced from ~60MB to 44KB.
