Add ability to specify a list of test name substrings for selecting which tests to run. So now -t is accepting a comma-separated list of strings, similarly to how -n accepts a comma-separated list of test numbers. Additionally, add ability to blacklist tests by name. Blacklist takes precedence over whitelist. Blacklisting is important for cases where it's known that some tests can't pass (e.g., due to perf hardware events that are not available within VM). This is going to be used for libbpf testing in Travis CI in its Github repo. Example runs with just whitelist and whitelist + blacklist: $ sudo ./test_progs -tattach,core/existence #1 attach_probe:OK #6 cgroup_attach_autodetach:OK #7 cgroup_attach_multi:OK #8 cgroup_attach_override:OK #9 core_extern:OK #10/44 existence:OK #10/45 existence___minimal:OK #10/46 existence__err_int_sz:OK #10/47 existence__err_int_type:OK #10/48 existence__err_int_kind:OK #10/49 existence__err_arr_kind:OK #10/50 existence__err_arr_value_type:OK #10/51 existence__err_struct_type:OK #10 core_reloc:OK #19 flow_dissector_reattach:OK #60 tp_attach_query:OK Summary: 8/8 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED $ sudo ./test_progs -tattach,core/existence -bcgroup,flow/arr #1 attach_probe:OK #9 core_extern:OK #10/44 existence:OK #10/45 existence___minimal:OK #10/46 existence__err_int_sz:OK #10/47 existence__err_int_type:OK #10/48 existence__err_int_kind:OK #10/51 existence__err_struct_type:OK #10 core_reloc:OK #60 tp_attach_query:OK Summary: 4/6 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED Signed-off-by:

Martin Lau says: ==================== When a map is storing a kernel's struct, its map_info->btf_vmlinux_value_type_id is set. The first map type supporting it is BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. This series adds support to dump this kind of map with BTF. The first two patches are bug fixes which are only applicable to bpf-next. Please see individual patches for details. v3: - Remove unnecessary #include "libbpf_internal.h" from patch 5 v2: - Expose bpf_find_kernel_btf() as a LIBBPF_API in patch 3 (Andrii) - Cache btf_vmlinux in bpftool/map.c (Andrii) ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This patch makes bpftool support dumping a map's value properly when the map's value type is a type of the running kernel's btf. (i.e. map_info.btf_vmlinux_value_type_id is set instead of map_info.btf_value_type_id). The first usecase is for the BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. Signed-off-by:

This patch exposes bpf_find_kernel_btf() as a LIBBPF_API. It will be used in 'bpftool map dump' in a following patch to dump a map with btf_vmlinux_value_type_id set. bpf_find_kernel_btf() is renamed to libbpf_find_kernel_btf() and moved to btf.c. As <linux/kernel.h> is included, some of the max/min type casting needs to be fixed. Signed-off-by:

The btf availability check is only done for plain text output. It causes the whole BTF output went missing when json_output is used. This patch simplifies the logic a little by avoiding passing "int btf" to map_dump(). For plain text output, the btf_wtr is only created when the map has BTF (i.e. info->btf_id != 0). The nullness of "json_writer_t *wtr" in map_dump() alone can decide if dumping BTF output is needed. As long as wtr is not NULL, map_dump() will print out the BTF-described data whenever a map has BTF available (i.e. info->btf_id != 0) regardless of json or plain-text output. In do_dump(), the "int btf" is also renamed to "int do_plain_btf". Fixes: 99f9863a ("bpftool: Match maps by name") Signed-off-by:

When testing a map has btf or not, maps_have_btf() tests it by actually getting a btf_fd from sys_bpf(BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID). However, it forgot to btf__free() it. In maps_have_btf() stage, there is no need to test it by really calling sys_bpf(BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID). Testing non zero info.btf_id is good enough. Also, the err_close case is unnecessary, and also causes double close() because the calling func do_dump() will close() all fds again. Fixes: 99f9863a ("bpftool: Match maps by name") Signed-off-by:

Brian Vazquez says: ==================== This patch series introduce batch ops that can be added to bpf maps to lookup/lookup_and_delete/update/delete more than 1 element at the time, this is specially useful when syscall overhead is a problem and in case of hmap it will provide a reliable way of traversing them. The implementation inclues a generic approach that could potentially be used by any bpf map and adds it to arraymap, it also includes the specific implementation of hashmaps which are traversed using buckets instead of keys. The bpf syscall subcommands introduced are: BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH BPF_MAP_DELETE_BATCH The UAPI attribute is: struct { /* struct used by BPF_MAP_*_BATCH commands */ __aligned_u64 in_batch; /* start batch, * NULL to start from beginning */ __aligned_u64 out_batch; /* output: next start batch */ __aligned_u64 keys; __aligned_u64 values; __u32 count; /* input/output: * input: # of key/value * elements * output: # of filled elements */ __u32 map_fd; __u64 elem_flags; __u64 flags; } batch; in_batch and out_batch are only used for lookup and lookup_and_delete since those are the only two operations that attempt to traverse the map. update/delete batch ops should provide the keys/values that user wants to modify.

htab can't use generic batch support due some problematic behaviours inherent to the data structre, i.e. while iterating the bpf map a concurrent program might delete the next entry that batch was about to use, in that case there's no easy solution to retrieve the next entry, the issue has been discussed multiple times (see [1] and [2]). The only way hmap can be traversed without the problem previously exposed is by making sure that the map is traversing entire buckets. This commit implements those strict requirements for hmap, the implementation follows the same interaction that generic support with some exceptions: - If keys/values buffer are not big enough to traverse a bucket, ENOSPC will be returned. - out_batch contains the value of the next bucket in the iteration, not the next key, but this is transparent for the user since the user should never use out_batch for other than bpf batch syscalls. This commits implements BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH and adds support for new command BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH. Note that for update/delete batch ops it is possible to use the generic implementations.

This commit adds generic support for update and delete batch ops that can be used for almost all the bpf maps. These commands share the same UAPI attr that lookup and lookup_and_delete batch ops use and the syscall commands are: BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH BPF_MAP_DELETE_BATCH The main difference between update/delete and lookup batch ops is that for update/delete keys/values must be specified for userspace and because of that, neither in_batch nor out_batch are used.

This commit introduces generic support for the bpf_map_lookup_batch. This implementation can be used by almost all the bpf maps since its core implementation is relying on the existing map_get_next_key and map_lookup_elem. The bpf syscall subcommand introduced is: BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH The UAPI attribute is: struct { /* struct used by BPF_MAP_*_BATCH commands */ __aligned_u64 in_batch; /* start batch, * NULL to start from beginning */ __aligned_u64 out_batch; /* output: next start batch */ __aligned_u64 keys; __aligned_u64 values; __u32 count; /* input/output: * input: # of key/value * elements * output: # of filled elements */ __u32 map_fd; __u64 elem_flags; __u64 flags; } batch; in_batch/out_batch are opaque values use to communicate between user/kernel space, in_batch/out_batch must be of key_size length. To start iterating from the beginning in_batch must be null, count is the # of key/value elements to retrieve. Note that the 'keys' buffer must be a buffer of key_size * count size and the 'values' buffer must be value_size * count, where value_size must be aligned to 8 bytes by userspace if it's dealing with percpu maps. 'count' will contain the number of keys/values successfully retrieved. Note that 'count' is an input/output variable and it can contain a lower value after a call. If there's no more entries to retrieve, ENOENT will be returned. If error is ENOENT, count might be > 0 in case it copied some values but there were no more entries to retrieve. Note that if the return code is an error and not -EFAULT, count indicates the number of elements successfully processed. Suggested-by: -

The LLVM patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D72197 makes LLVM emit function call relocations within the same section. This includes a default .text section, which contains any BPF sub-programs. This wasn't the case before and so libbpf was able to get a way with slightly simpler handling of subprogram call relocations. This patch adds support for .text section relocations. It needs to ensure correct order of relocations, so does two passes: - first, relocate .text instructions, if there are any relocations in it; - then process all the other programs and copy over patched .text instructions for all sub-program calls. v1->v2: - break early once .text program is processed.

Commit 8b401f9e ("bpf: implement bpf_send_signal() helper") added helper bpf_send_signal() which permits bpf program to send a signal to the current process. The signal may be delivered to any threads in the process. We found a use case where sending the signal to the current thread is more preferable. - A bpf program will collect the stack trace and then send signal to the user application. - The user application will add some thread specific information to the just collected stack trace for later analysis. If bpf_send_signal() is used, user application will need to check whether the thread receiving the signal matches the thread collecting the stack by checking thread id. If not, it will need to send signal to another thread through pthread_kill(). This patch proposed a new helper bpf_send_signal_thread(), which sends the signal to the thread corresponding to the current kernel task. This way, user space is guaranteed that bpf_program execution context and user space signal handling context are the same thread. Signed-off-by:

When registering a umem area that is sufficiently large (>1G on an x86), kmalloc cannot be used to allocate one of the internal data structures, as the size requested gets too large. Use kvmalloc instead that falls back on vmalloc if the allocation is too large for kmalloc. Also add accounting for this structure as it is triggered by a user space action (the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt) and it is by far the largest structure of kernel allocated memory in xsk. Reported-by:

This patch makes structs and unions, emitted through BTF dump, automatically CO-RE-relocatable (unless disabled with `#define BPF_NO_PRESERVE_ACCESS_INDEX`, specified before including generated header file). This effectivaly turns usual bpf_probe_read() call into equivalent of bpf_core_read(), by automatically applying builtin_preserve_access_index to any field accesses of types in generated C types header. This is especially useful for tp_btf/fentry/fexit BPF program types. They allow direct memory access, so BPF C code just uses straightfoward a->b->c access pattern to read data from kernel. But without kernel structs marked as CO-RE relocatable through preserve_access_index attribute, one has to enclose all the data reads into a special __builtin_preserve_access_index code block, like so: __builtin_preserve_access_index(({ x = p->pid; /* where p is struct task_struct *, for example */ })); This is very inconvenient and obscures the logic quite a bit. By marking all auto-generated types with preserve_access_index attribute the above code is reduced to just a clean and natural `x = p->pid;`. Signed-off-by: -

Streamline BPF_TRACE_x macro by moving out return type and section attribute definition out of macro itself. That makes those function look in source code similar to other BPF programs. Additionally, simplify its usage by determining number of arguments automatically (so just single BPF_TRACE vs a family of BPF_TRACE_1, BPF_TRACE_2, etc). Also, allow more natural function argument syntax without commas inbetween argument type and name. Given this helper is useful not only for tracing tp_btf/fenty/fexit programs, but could be used for LSM programs and others following the same pattern, rename BPF_TRACE macro into more generic BPF_PROG. Existing BPF_TRACE_x usages in selftests are converted to new BPF_PROG macro. Following the same pattern, define BPF_KPROBE and BPF_KRETPROBE macros for nicer usage of kprobe/kretprobe arguments, respectively. BPF_KRETPROBE, adopts same convention used by fexit programs, that last defined argument is probed function's return result. v4->v5: - fix test_overhead test (__set_task_comm is void) (Alexei); v3->v4: - rebased and fixed one more BPF_TRACE_x occurence (Alexei); v2->v3: - rename to shorter and as generic BPF_PROG (Alexei); v1->v2: - verified GCC handles pragmas as expected; - added descriptions to macros; - converted new STRUCT_OPS selftest to BPF_HANDLER (worked as expected); - added original context as 'ctx' parameter, for cases where it has to be passed into BPF helpers. This might cause an accidental naming collision, unfortunately, but at least it's easy to work around. Fortunately, this situation produces quite legible compilation error: progs/bpf_dctcp.c:46:6: error: redefinition of 'ctx' with a different type: 'int' vs 'unsigned long long *' int ctx = 123; ^ progs/bpf_dctcp.c:42:6: note: previous definition is here void BPF_HANDLER(dctcp_init, struct sock *sk) ^ ./bpf_trace_helpers.h:58:32: note: expanded from macro 'BPF_HANDLER' ____##name(unsigned long long *ctx, ##args) Signed-off-by: -

It's been a recurring issue with types like u32 slipping into libbpf source code accidentally. This is not detected during builds inside kernel source tree, but becomes a compilation error in libbpf's Github repo. Libbpf is supposed to use only __{s,u}{8,16,32,64} typedefs, so poison {s,u}{8,16,32,64} explicitly in every .c file. Doing that in a bit more centralized way, e.g., inside libbpf_internal.h breaks selftests, which are both using kernel u32 and libbpf_internal.h.

New llvm and old llvm with libbpf help produce BTF that distinguish global and static functions. Unlike arguments of static function the arguments of global functions cannot be removed or optimized away by llvm. The compiler has to use exactly the arguments specified in a function prototype. The argument type information allows the verifier validate each global function independently. For now only supported argument types are pointer to context and scalars. In the future pointers to structures, sizes, pointer to packet data can be supported as well. Consider the following example: static int f1(int ...) { ... } int f3(int b); int f2(int a) { f1(a) + f3(a); } int f3(int b) { ... } int main(...) { f1(...) + f2(...) + f3(...); } The verifier will start its safety checks from the first global function f2(). It will recursively descend into f1() because it's static. Then it will check that arguments match for the f3() invocation inside f2(). It will not descend into f3(). It will finish f2() that has to be successfully verified for all possible values of 'a'. Then it will proceed with f3(). That function also has to be safe for all possible values of 'b'. Then it will start subprog 0 (which is main() function). It will recursively descend into f1() and will skip full check of f2() and f3(), since they are global. The order of processing global functions doesn't affect safety, since all global functions must be proven safe based on their arguments only. Such function by function verification can drastically improve speed of the verification and reduce complexity. Note that the stack limit of 512 still applies to the call chain regardless whether functions were static or global. The nested level of 8 also still applies. The same recursion prevention checks are in place as well. The type information and static/global kind is preserved after the verification hence in the above example global function f2() and f3() can be replaced later by equivalent functions with the same types that are loaded and verified later without affecting safety of this main() program. Such replacement (re-linking) of global functions is a subject of future patches. Signed-off-by:
