For some types of BPF programs that utilize expected_attach_type, libbpf won't
set load_attr.expected_attach_type, even if expected_attach_type is known from
section definition. This was done to preserve backwards compatibility with old
kernels that didn't recognize expected_attach_type attribute yet (which was
added in 5e43f899b0 ("bpf: Check attach type at prog load time"). But this
is problematic for some BPF programs that utilize newer features that require
kernel to know specific expected_attach_type (e.g., extended set of return
codes for cgroup_skb/egress programs).
This patch makes libbpf specify expected_attach_type by default, but also
detect support for this field in kernel and not set it during program load.
This allows to have a good metadata for bpf_program
(e.g., bpf_program__get_extected_attach_type()), but still work with old
kernels (for cases where it can work at all).
Additionally, due to expected_attach_type being always set for recognized
program types, bpf_program__attach_cgroup doesn't have to do extra checks to
determine correct attach type, so remove that additional logic.
Also adjust section_names selftest to account for this change.

If expected_attach_type is not specified explicitly with

For internal maps (most notably the maps backing global variables), libbpf
uses an internal mmaped area to store the data after opening the object.
This data is subsequently copied into the kernel map when the object is
loaded.
This adds a function to set a new value for that data, which can be used to
before it is loaded into the kernel. This is especially relevant for RODATA

With bpf_link abstraction supported by kernel explicitly, add
pinning/unpinning API for links. Also allow to create (open) bpf_link from BPF
FS file.
This API allows to have an "ephemeral" FD-based BPF links (like raw tracepoint
or fexit/freplace attachments) surviving user process exit, by pinning them in
a BPF FS, which is an important use case for long-running BPF programs.
As part of this, expose underlying FD for bpf_link. While legacy bpf_link's
might not have a FD associated with them (which will be expressed as
a bpf_link with fd=-1), kernel's abstraction is based around FD-based usage,
so match it closely. This, subsequently, allows to have a generic
pinning/unpinning API for generalized bpf_link. For some types of bpf_links
kernel might not support pinning, in which case bpf_link__pin() will return
error.
With FD being part of generic bpf_link, also get rid of bpf_link_fd in favor
of using vanialla bpf_link.

Currently when you want to attach a trace program to a bpf program
the section name needs to match the tracepoint/function semantics.
However the addition of the bpf_program__set_attach_target() API
allows you to specify the tracepoint/function dynamically.
The call flow would look something like this:
xdp_fd = bpf_prog_get_fd_by_id(id);
trace_obj = bpf_object__open_file("func.o", NULL);
prog = bpf_object__find_program_by_title(trace_obj,
"fentry/myfunc");
bpf_program__set_expected_attach_type(prog, BPF_TRACE_FENTRY);
bpf_program__set_attach_target(prog, xdp_fd,

If BPF program is using BTF-defined maps, BTF is required only for
libbpf itself to process map definitions. If after that BTF fails to
be loaded into kernel (e.g., if it doesn't support BTF at all), this
shouldn't prevent valid BPF program from loading. Existing
retry-without-BTF logic for creating maps will succeed to create such
maps without any problems. So, presence of .maps section shouldn't make
BTF required for kernel. Update the check accordingly.
Validated by ensuring simple BPF program with BTF-defined maps is still
loaded on old kernel without BTF support and map is correctly parsed and
created.

used by libbpf takes their prefix from the user-supplied BPF object name,
which has no such restriction. This can lead to "Invalid argument" errors

Previously, if libbpf failed to resolve CO-RE relocation for some
instructions, it would either return error immediately, or, if
.relaxed_core_relocs option was set, would replace relocatable offset/imm part
of an instruction with a bogus value (-1). Neither approach is good, because
there are many possible scenarios where relocation is expected to fail (e.g.,
when some field knowingly can be missing on specific kernel versions). On the
other hand, replacing offset with invalid one can hide programmer errors, if
this relocation failue wasn't anticipated.
This patch deprecates .relaxed_core_relocs option and changes the approach to
always replacing instruction, for which relocation failed, with invalid BPF
helper call instruction. For cases where this is expected, BPF program should
already ensure that that instruction is unreachable, in which case this
invalid instruction is going to be silently ignored. But if instruction wasn't
guarded, BPF program will be rejected at verification step with verifier log
pointing precisely to the place in assembly where the problem is.

Add minimal support for program extensions. bpf_object_open_opts() needs to be
called with attach_prog_fd = target_prog_fd and BPF program extension needs to
have in .c file section definition like SEC("freplace/func_to_be_replaced").
libbpf will search for "func_to_be_replaced" in the target_prog_fd's BTF and
will pass it in attach_btf_id to the kernel. This approach works for tests, but
more compex use case may need to request function name (and attach_btf_id that

The LLVM patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D72197 makes LLVM emit function call
relocations within the same section. This includes a default .text section,

This patch adds support for .text section relocations. It needs to ensure

- 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.

Currently, libbpf re-sorts bpf_map structs after all the maps are added and
initialized, which might change their relative order and invalidate any
bpf_map pointer or index taken before that. This is inconvenient and
error-prone. For instance, it can cause .kconfig map index to point to a wrong
map.
Furthermore, libbpf itself doesn't rely on any specific ordering of bpf_maps,
so it's just an unnecessary complication right now. This patch drops sorting
of maps and makes their relative positions fixed. If efficient index is ever
needed, it's better to have a separate array of pointers as a search index,
instead of reordering bpf_map struct in-place. This will be less error-prone
and will allow multiple independent orderings, if necessary (e.g., either by
section index or by name).

This patch adds BPF STRUCT_OPS support to libbpf.
The only sec_name convention is SEC(".struct_ops") to identify the
struct_ops implemented in BPF,
e.g. To implement a tcp_congestion_ops:
SEC(".struct_ops")
struct tcp_congestion_ops dctcp = {
.init = (void *)dctcp_init, /* <-- a bpf_prog */
/* ... some more func prts ... */
.name = "bpf_dctcp",
};
Each struct_ops is defined as a global variable under SEC(".struct_ops")
as above. libbpf creates a map for each variable and the variable name
is the map's name. Multiple struct_ops is supported under
SEC(".struct_ops").
In the bpf_object__open phase, libbpf will look for the SEC(".struct_ops")
section and find out what is the btf-type the struct_ops is
implementing. Note that the btf-type here is referring to
a type in the bpf_prog.o's btf. A "struct bpf_map" is added
by bpf_object__add_map() as other maps do. It will then
collect (through SHT_REL) where are the bpf progs that the
func ptrs are referring to. No btf_vmlinux is needed in
the open phase.
In the bpf_object__load phase, the map-fields, which depend
on the btf_vmlinux, are initialized (in bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()).
It will also set the prog->type, prog->attach_btf_id, and
prog->expected_attach_type. Thus, the prog's properties do
not rely on its section name.
[ Currently, the bpf_prog's btf-type ==> btf_vmlinux's btf-type matching
process is as simple as: member-name match + btf-kind match + size match.
If these matching conditions fail, libbpf will reject.
The current targeting support is "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which
most of its members are function pointers.
The member ordering of the bpf_prog's btf-type can be different from
the btf_vmlinux's btf-type. ]
Then, all obj->maps are created as usual (in bpf_object__create_maps()).
Once the maps are created and prog's properties are all set,
the libbpf will proceed to load all the progs.
bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() is added to register a struct_ops
map to a kernel subsystem.

Clang patch [0] enables emitting relocatable generic ALU/ALU64 instructions
(i.e, shifts and arithmetic operations), as well as generic load/store
instructions. The former ones are already supported by libbpf as is. This
patch adds further support for load/store instructions. Relocatable field
offset is encoded in BPF instruction's 16-bit offset section and are adjusted
by libbpf based on target kernel BTF.
These Clang changes and corresponding libbpf changes allow for more succinct
generated BPF code by encoding relocatable field reads as a single
ST/LDX/STX instruction. It also enables relocatable access to BPF context.
Previously, if context struct (e.g., __sk_buff) was accessed with CO-RE
relocations (e.g., due to preserve_access_index attribute), it would be
rejected by BPF verifier due to modified context pointer dereference. With
Clang patch, such context accesses are both relocatable and have a fixed
offset from the point of view of BPF verifier.

Kconfig won't be read at all.
Simplify selftests by not needing to create temporary Kconfig files.

There are cases in which BPF resource (program, map, etc) has to outlive
userspace program that "installed" it in the system in the first place.
When BPF program is attached, libbpf returns bpf_link object, which
is supposed to be destroyed after no longer necessary through
bpf_link__destroy() API. Currently, bpf_link destruction causes both automatic
detachment and frees up any resources allocated to for bpf_link in-memory
representation. This is inconvenient for the case described above because of
coupling of detachment and resource freeing.
This patch introduces bpf_link__disconnect() API call, which marks bpf_link as
disconnected from its underlying BPF resouces. This means that when bpf_link
is destroyed later, all its memory resources will be freed, but BPF resource
itself won't be detached.
This design allows to follow strict and resource-leak-free design by default,
while giving easy and straightforward way for user code to opt for keeping BPF
resource attached beyond lifetime of a bpf_link. For some BPF programs (i.e.,
FS-based tracepoints, kprobes, raw tracepoint, etc), user has to make sure to
pin BPF program to prevent kernel to automatically detach it on process exit.
This should typically be achived by pinning BPF program (or map in some cases)
in BPF FS.

Libbpf is trying to recognize BPF program type based on its section name
during bpf_object__open() phase. This is not strictly enforced and user code
has ability to specify/override correct BPF program type after open. But if
BPF program is using custom section name, libbpf will still emit warnings,
which can be quite annoying to users. This patch reduces log level of
information messages emitted by libbpf if section name is not canonical. User
can still get a list of all supported section names as debug-level message.

Probably the single most common error newcomers to XDP are stumped by is
the 'permission denied' error they get when trying to load their program
and 'ulimit -l' is set too low. For examples, see [0], [1].
Since the error code is UAPI, we can't change that. Instead, this patch
adds a few heuristics in libbpf and outputs an additional hint if they are
met: If an EPERM is returned on map create or program load, and geteuid()
shows we are root, and the current RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is not infinity, we
output a hint about raising 'ulimit -l' as an additional log line.

Some data stuctures in kernel are defined with either zero-sized array or
flexible (dimensionless) array at the end of a struct. Actual data of such
array follows in memory immediately after the end of that struct, forming its

Add support for extern variables, provided to BPF program by libbpf. Currently
the following extern variables are supported:
- LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION; version of a kernel in which BPF program is
executing, follows KERNEL_VERSION() macro convention, can be 4- and 8-byte
long;
- CONFIG_xxx values; a set of values of actual kernel config. Tristate,
boolean, strings, and integer values are supported.
Set of possible values is determined by declared type of extern variable.
Supported types of variables are:
- Tristate values. Are represented as `enum libbpf_tristate`. Accepted values
are **strictly** 'y', 'n', or 'm', which are represented as TRI_YES, TRI_NO,
or TRI_MODULE, respectively.
- Boolean values. Are represented as bool (_Bool) types. Accepted values are
'y' and 'n' only, turning into true/false values, respectively.
- Single-character values. Can be used both as a substritute for
bool/tristate, or as a small-range integer:
- 'y'/'n'/'m' are represented as is, as characters 'y', 'n', or 'm';
- integers in a range [-128, 127] or [0, 255] (depending on signedness of
char in target architecture) are recognized and represented with
respective values of char type.
- Strings. String values are declared as fixed-length char arrays. String of
up to that length will be accepted and put in first N bytes of char array,
with the rest of bytes zeroed out. If config string value is longer than
space alloted, it will be truncated and warning message emitted. Char array
is always zero terminated. String literals in config have to be enclosed in
double quotes, just like C-style string literals.
- Integers. 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integers are supported, both signed and
unsigned variants. Libbpf enforces parsed config value to be in the
supported range of corresponding integer type. Integers values in config can
be:
- decimal integers, with optional + and - signs;
- hexadecimal integers, prefixed with 0x or 0X;
- octal integers, starting with 0.
Config file itself is searched in /boot/config-$(uname -r) location with
fallback to /proc/config.gz, unless config path is specified explicitly
through bpf_object_open_opts' kernel_config_path option. Both gzipped and
plain text formats are supported. Libbpf adds explicit dependency on zlib
because of this, but this shouldn't be a problem, given libelf already depends
on zlib.
All detected extern variables, are put into a separate .extern internal map.
It, similarly to .rodata map, is marked as read-only from BPF program side, as
well as is frozen on load. This allows BPF verifier to track extern values as
constants and perform enhanced branch prediction and dead code elimination.
This can be relied upon for doing kernel version/feature detection and using
potentially unsupported field relocations or BPF helpers in a CO-RE-based BPF
program, while still having a single version of BPF program running on old and
new kernels. Selftests are validating this explicitly for unexisting BPF
helper.

Move BTF ID determination for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING programs to a load phase.
Performing it at open step is inconvenient, because it prevents BPF skeleton
generation on older host kernel, which doesn't contain BTF_KIND_FUNCs
information in vmlinux BTF. This is a common set up, though, when, e.g.,
selftests are compiled on older host kernel, but the test program itself is
executed in qemu VM with bleeding edge kernel. Having this BTF searching
performed at load time allows to successfully use bpf_object__open() for
codegen and inspection of BPF object file.

Refactor global data map initialization to use anonymous mmap()-ed memory
instead of malloc()-ed one. This allows to do a transparent re-mmap()-ing of
already existing memory address to point to BPF map's memory after
bpf_object__load() step (done in follow up patch). This choreographed setup
allows to have a nice and unsurprising way to pre-initialize read-only (and
r/w as well) maps by user and after BPF map creation keep working with
mmap()-ed contents of this map. All in a way that doesn't require user code to
update any pointers: the illusion of working with memory contents is preserved
before and after actual BPF map instantiation.
Selftests and runqslower example demonstrate this feature in follow up patches.

which returns BPF program function's section name. Function name has a benefit
of being a valid C identifier and uniquely identifies a specific BPF program,
while section name can be duplicated across multiple independent BPF programs.
Add also bpf_object__find_program_by_name(), similar to
bpf_object__find_program_by_title(), to facilitate looking up BPF programs by
their C function names.

Reorganize bpf_object__open and bpf_object__load steps such that
bpf_object__open doesn't need root access. This was previously done for
feature probing and BTF sanitization. This doesn't have to happen on open,
though, so move all those steps into the load phase.
This is important, because it makes it possible for tools like bpftool, to
just open BPF object file and inspect their contents: programs, maps, BTF,
etc. For such operations it is prohibitive to require root access. On the
other hand, there is a lot of custom libbpf logic in those steps, so its best
avoided for tools to reimplement all that on their own.

It's quite common on some systems to have more CPUs enlisted as "possible",
than there are (and could ever be) present/online CPUs. In such cases,
perf_buffer creationg will fail due to inability to create perf event on
missing CPU with error like this:
libbpf: failed to open perf buffer event on cpu #16: No such device
This patch fixes the logic of perf_buffer__new() to ignore CPUs that are
missing or currently offline. In rare cases where user explicitly listed
specific CPUs to connect to, behavior is unchanged: libbpf will try to open
perf event buffer on specified CPU(s) anyways.
