+ *
+ * int bpf_trace_printk(const char *fmt, u32 fmt_size, ...)
+ * Description
+ * This helper is a "printk()-like" facility for debugging. It
+ * prints a message defined by format *fmt* (of size *fmt_size*)
+ * to file *\/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace* from DebugFS, if
+ * available. It can take up to three additional **u64**
+ * arguments (as an eBPF helpers, the total number of arguments is
+ * limited to five).
+ *
+ * Each time the helper is called, it appends a line to the trace.
+ * The format of the trace is customizable, and the exact output
+ * one will get depends on the options set in
+ * *\/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options* (see also the
+ * *README* file under the same directory). However, it usually
+ * defaults to something like:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * telnet-470 [001] .N.. 419421.045894: 0x00000001: <formatted msg>
+ *
+ * In the above:
+ *
+ * * ``telnet`` is the name of the current task.
+ * * ``470`` is the PID of the current task.
+ * * ``001`` is the CPU number on which the task is
+ * running.
+ * * In ``.N..``, each character refers to a set of
+ * options (whether irqs are enabled, scheduling
+ * options, whether hard/softirqs are running, level of
+ * preempt_disabled respectively). **N** means that
+ * **TIF_NEED_RESCHED** and **PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED**
+ * are set.
+ * * ``419421.045894`` is a timestamp.
+ * * ``0x00000001`` is a fake value used by BPF for the
+ * instruction pointer register.
+ * * ``<formatted msg>`` is the message formatted with
+ * *fmt*.
+ *
+ * The conversion specifiers supported by *fmt* are similar, but
+ * more limited than for printk(). They are **%d**, **%i**,
+ * **%u**, **%x**, **%ld**, **%li**, **%lu**, **%lx**, **%lld**,
+ * **%lli**, **%llu**, **%llx**, **%p**, **%s**. No modifier (size
+ * of field, padding with zeroes, etc.) is available, and the
+ * helper will return **-EINVAL** (but print nothing) if it
+ * encounters an unknown specifier.
+ *
+ * Also, note that **bpf_trace_printk**\ () is slow, and should
+ * only be used for debugging purposes. For this reason, a notice
+ * bloc (spanning several lines) is printed to kernel logs and
+ * states that the helper should not be used "for production use"
+ * the first time this helper is used (or more precisely, when
+ * **trace_printk**\ () buffers are allocated). For passing values
+ * to user space, perf events should be preferred.
+ * Return
+ * The number of bytes written to the buffer, or a negative error
+ * in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_prandom_u32(void)
+ * Description
+ * Get a pseudo-random number.
+ *
+ * From a security point of view, this helper uses its own
+ * pseudo-random internal state, and cannot be used to infer the
+ * seed of other random functions in the kernel. However, it is
+ * essential to note that the generator used by the helper is not
+ * cryptographically secure.
+ * Return
+ * A random 32-bit unsigned value.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_smp_processor_id(void)
+ * Description
+ * Get the SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) processor id. Note that
+ * all programs run with preemption disabled, which means that the
+ * SMP processor id is stable during all the execution of the
+ * program.
+ * Return
+ * The SMP id of the processor running the program.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_store_bytes(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, const void *from, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Store *len* bytes from address *from* into the packet
+ * associated to *skb*, at *offset*. *flags* are a combination of
+ * **BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM** (automatically recompute the
+ * checksum for the packet after storing the bytes) and
+ * **BPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH** (set *skb*\ **->hash**, *skb*\
+ * **->swhash** and *skb*\ **->l4hash** to 0).
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_l3_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 size)
+ * Description
+ * Recompute the layer 3 (e.g. IP) checksum for the packet
+ * associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the helper
+ * must know the former value of the header field that was
+ * modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the
+ * number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored in *size*.
+ * Alternatively, it is possible to store the difference between
+ * the previous and the new values of the header field in *to*, by
+ * setting *from* and *size* to 0. For both methods, *offset*
+ * indicates the location of the IP checksum within the packet.
+ *
+ * This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (),
+ * which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more
+ * flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the
+ * checksum to update.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_l4_csum_replace(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, u64 from, u64 to, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Recompute the layer 4 (e.g. TCP, UDP or ICMP) checksum for the
+ * packet associated to *skb*. Computation is incremental, so the
+ * helper must know the former value of the header field that was
+ * modified (*from*), the new value of this field (*to*), and the
+ * number of bytes (2 or 4) for this field, stored on the lowest
+ * four bits of *flags*. Alternatively, it is possible to store
+ * the difference between the previous and the new values of the
+ * header field in *to*, by setting *from* and the four lowest
+ * bits of *flags* to 0. For both methods, *offset* indicates the
+ * location of the IP checksum within the packet. In addition to
+ * the size of the field, *flags* can be added (bitwise OR) actual
+ * flags. With **BPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0**, a null checksum is left
+ * untouched (unless **BPF_F_MARK_ENFORCE** is added as well), and
+ * for updates resulting in a null checksum the value is set to
+ * **CSUM_MANGLED_0** instead. Flag **BPF_F_PSEUDO_HDR** indicates
+ * the checksum is to be computed against a pseudo-header.
+ *
+ * This helper works in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (),
+ * which does not update the checksum in-place, but offers more
+ * flexibility and can handle sizes larger than 2 or 4 for the
+ * checksum to update.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_tail_call(void *ctx, struct bpf_map *prog_array_map, u32 index)
+ * Description
+ * This special helper is used to trigger a "tail call", or in
+ * other words, to jump into another eBPF program. The same stack
+ * frame is used (but values on stack and in registers for the
+ * caller are not accessible to the callee). This mechanism allows
+ * for program chaining, either for raising the maximum number of
+ * available eBPF instructions, or to execute given programs in
+ * conditional blocks. For security reasons, there is an upper
+ * limit to the number of successive tail calls that can be
+ * performed.
+ *
+ * Upon call of this helper, the program attempts to jump into a
+ * program referenced at index *index* in *prog_array_map*, a
+ * special map of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY**, and passes
+ * *ctx*, a pointer to the context.
+ *
+ * If the call succeeds, the kernel immediately runs the first
+ * instruction of the new program. This is not a function call,
+ * and it never returns to the previous program. If the call
+ * fails, then the helper has no effect, and the caller continues
+ * to run its subsequent instructions. A call can fail if the
+ * destination program for the jump does not exist (i.e. *index*
+ * is superior to the number of entries in *prog_array_map*), or
+ * if the maximum number of tail calls has been reached for this
+ * chain of programs. This limit is defined in the kernel by the
+ * macro **MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT** (not accessible to user space),
+ * which is currently set to 32.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_clone_redirect(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 ifindex, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Clone and redirect the packet associated to *skb* to another
+ * net device of index *ifindex*. Both ingress and egress
+ * interfaces can be used for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS**
+ * value in *flags* is used to make the distinction (ingress path
+ * is selected if the flag is present, egress path otherwise).
+ * This is the only flag supported for now.
+ *
+ * In comparison with **bpf_redirect**\ () helper,
+ * **bpf_clone_redirect**\ () has the associated cost of
+ * duplicating the packet buffer, but this can be executed out of
+ * the eBPF program. Conversely, **bpf_redirect**\ () is more
+ * efficient, but it is handled through an action code where the
+ * redirection happens only after the eBPF program has returned.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.

+ * u32 bpf_get_cgroup_classid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * Description
+ * Retrieve the classid for the current task, i.e. for the net_cls

+ *
+ * This helper can be used on TC egress path, but not on ingress.
+ *
+ * The net_cls cgroup provides an interface to tag network packets
+ * based on a user-provided identifier for all traffic coming from
+ * the tasks belonging to the related cgroup. See also the related
+ * kernel documentation, available from the Linux sources in file
+ * *Documentation/cgroup-v1/net_cls.txt*.
+ *
+ * The Linux kernel has two versions for cgroups: there are
+ * cgroups v1 and cgroups v2. Both are available to users, who can
+ * use a mixture of them, but note that the net_cls cgroup is for
+ * cgroup v1 only. This makes it incompatible with BPF programs
+ * run on cgroups, which is a cgroup-v2-only feature (a socket can
+ * only hold data for one version of cgroups at a time).
+ *
+ * This helper is only available is the kernel was compiled with
+ * the **CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_CLASSID** configuration option set to
+ * "**y**" or to "**m**".
+ * Return
+ * The classid, or 0 for the default unconfigured classid.

+ * Description
+ * Push a *vlan_tci* (VLAN tag control information) of protocol
+ * *vlan_proto* to the packet associated to *skb*, then update
+ * the checksum. Note that if *vlan_proto* is different from
+ * **ETH_P_8021Q** and **ETH_P_8021AD**, it is considered to
+ * be **ETH_P_8021Q**.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_vlan_pop(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * Description
+ * Pop a VLAN header from the packet associated to *skb*.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying

+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Get tunnel metadata. This helper takes a pointer *key* to an
+ * empty **struct bpf_tunnel_key** of **size**, that will be
+ * filled with tunnel metadata for the packet associated to *skb*.
+ * The *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**, which

+ * The **struct bpf_tunnel_key** is an object that generalizes the
+ * principal parameters used by various tunneling protocols into a
+ * single struct. This way, it can be used to easily make a
+ * decision based on the contents of the encapsulation header,
+ * "summarized" in this struct. In particular, it holds the IP
+ * address of the remote end (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the case)
+ * in *key*\ **->remote_ipv4** or *key*\ **->remote_ipv6**. Also,
+ * this struct exposes the *key*\ **->tunnel_id**, which is
+ * generally mapped to a VNI (Virtual Network Identifier), making
+ * it programmable together with the **bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key**\
+ * () helper.
+ *
+ * Let's imagine that the following code is part of a program
+ * attached to the TC ingress interface, on one end of a GRE
+ * tunnel, and is supposed to filter out all messages coming from
+ * remote ends with IPv4 address other than 10.0.0.1:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * int ret;
+ * struct bpf_tunnel_key key = {};
+ *
+ * ret = bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * if (ret < 0)
+ * return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet
+ *
+ * if (key.remote_ipv4 != 0x0a000001)
+ * return TC_ACT_SHOT; // drop packet
+ *
+ * return TC_ACT_OK; // accept packet
+ *
+ * This interface can also be used with all encapsulation devices
+ * that can operate in "collect metadata" mode: instead of having
+ * one network device per specific configuration, the "collect
+ * metadata" mode only requires a single device where the
+ * configuration can be extracted from this helper.
+ *
+ * This can be used together with various tunnels such as VXLan,
+ * Geneve, GRE or IP in IP (IPIP).
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_tunnel_key *key, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Populate tunnel metadata for packet associated to *skb.* The
+ * tunnel metadata is set to the contents of *key*, of *size*. The
+ * *flags* can be set to a combination of the following values:
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_TUNINFO_IPV6**
+ * Indicate that the tunnel is based on IPv6 protocol
+ * instead of IPv4.
+ * **BPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX**
+ * For IPv4 packets, add a flag to tunnel metadata
+ * indicating that checksum computation should be skipped
+ * and checksum set to zeroes.
+ * **BPF_F_DONT_FRAGMENT**
+ * Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that the
+ * packet should not be fragmented.
+ * **BPF_F_SEQ_NUMBER**
+ * Add a flag to tunnel metadata indicating that a
+ * sequence number should be added to tunnel header before
+ * sending the packet. This flag was added for GRE
+ * encapsulation, but might be used with other protocols
+ * as well in the future.
+ *
+ * Here is a typical usage on the transmit path:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * struct bpf_tunnel_key key;
+ * populate key ...
+ * bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &key, sizeof(key), 0);
+ * bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0);
+ *
+ * See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ ()
+ * helper for additional information.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_perf_event_read(struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Read the value of a perf event counter. This helper relies on a
+ * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. The nature of
+ * the perf event counter is selected when *map* is updated with
+ * perf event file descriptors. The *map* is an array whose size
+ * is the number of available CPUs, and each cell contains a value
+ * relative to one CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by
+ * *flags*, that contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked
+ * with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to
+ * **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the
+ * current CPU should be retrieved.
+ *
+ * Note that before Linux 4.13, only hardware perf event can be
+ * retrieved.
+ *
+ * Also, be aware that the newer helper
+ * **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () is recommended over
+ * **bpf_perf_event_read**\ () in general. The latter has some ABI
+ * quirks where error and counter value are used as a return code
+ * (which is wrong to do since ranges may overlap). This issue is
+ * fixed with **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ (), which at the same
+ * time provides more features over the **bpf_perf_event_read**\
+ * () interface. Please refer to the description of
+ * **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () for details.
+ * Return
+ * The value of the perf event counter read from the map, or a
+ * negative error code in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_redirect(u32 ifindex, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Redirect the packet to another net device of index *ifindex*.
+ * This helper is somewhat similar to **bpf_clone_redirect**\
+ * (), except that the packet is not cloned, which provides
+ * increased performance.
+ *
+ * Except for XDP, both ingress and egress interfaces can be used
+ * for redirection. The **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used
+ * to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag
+ * is present, egress path otherwise). Currently, XDP only
+ * supports redirection to the egress interface, and accepts no
+ * flag at all.
+ *
+ * The same effect can be attained with the more generic
+ * **bpf_redirect_map**\ (), which requires specific maps to be
+ * used but offers better performance.
+ * Return
+ * For XDP, the helper returns **XDP_REDIRECT** on success or
+ * **XDP_ABORTED** on error. For other program types, the values
+ * are **TC_ACT_REDIRECT** on success or **TC_ACT_SHOT** on
+ * error.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_route_realm(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * Description
+ * Retrieve the realm or the route, that is to say the
+ * **tclassid** field of the destination for the *skb*. The
+ * indentifier retrieved is a user-provided tag, similar to the
+ * one used with the net_cls cgroup (see description for
+ * **bpf_get_cgroup_classid**\ () helper), but here this tag is
+ * held by a route (a destination entry), not by a task.
+ *
+ * Retrieving this identifier works with the clsact TC egress hook
+ * (see also **tc-bpf(8)**), or alternatively on conventional
+ * classful egress qdiscs, but not on TC ingress path. In case of
+ * clsact TC egress hook, this has the advantage that, internally,
+ * the destination entry has not been dropped yet in the transmit
+ * path. Therefore, the destination entry does not need to be
+ * artificially held via **netif_keep_dst**\ () for a classful
+ * qdisc until the *skb* is freed.
+ *
+ * This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with
+ * **CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID** configuration option.
+ * Return
+ * The realm of the route for the packet associated to *skb*, or 0
+ * if none was found.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_event_output(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, void *data, u64 size)
+ * Description
+ * Write raw *data* blob into a special BPF perf event held by
+ * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. This perf
+ * event must have the following attributes: **PERF_SAMPLE_RAW**
+ * as **sample_type**, **PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE** as **type**, and
+ * **PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT** as **config**.
+ *
+ * The *flags* are used to indicate the index in *map* for which
+ * the value must be put, masked with **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**.
+ * Alternatively, *flags* can be set to **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU**
+ * to indicate that the index of the current CPU core should be
+ * used.
+ *
+ * The value to write, of *size*, is passed through eBPF stack and
+ * pointed by *data*.
+ *
+ * The context of the program *ctx* needs also be passed to the
+ * helper.
+ *
+ * On user space, a program willing to read the values needs to
+ * call **perf_event_open**\ () on the perf event (either for
+ * one or for all CPUs) and to store the file descriptor into the
+ * *map*. This must be done before the eBPF program can send data
+ * into it. An example is available in file
+ * *samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c* in the Linux kernel source
+ * tree (the eBPF program counterpart is in
+ * *samples/bpf/trace_output_kern.c*).
+ *
+ * **bpf_perf_event_output**\ () achieves better performance
+ * than **bpf_trace_printk**\ () for sharing data with user
+ * space, and is much better suitable for streaming data from eBPF
+ * programs.
+ *
+ * Note that this helper is not restricted to tracing use cases
+ * and can be used with programs attached to TC or XDP as well,
+ * where it allows for passing data to user space listeners. Data
+ * can be:
+ *
+ * * Only custom structs,
+ * * Only the packet payload, or
+ * * A combination of both.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_load_bytes(const struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, void *to, u32 len)
+ * Description
+ * This helper was provided as an easy way to load data from a
+ * packet. It can be used to load *len* bytes from *offset* from
+ * the packet associated to *skb*, into the buffer pointed by
+ * *to*.
+ *
+ * Since Linux 4.7, usage of this helper has mostly been replaced
+ * by "direct packet access", enabling packet data to be
+ * manipulated with *skb*\ **->data** and *skb*\ **->data_end**
+ * pointing respectively to the first byte of packet data and to
+ * the byte after the last byte of packet data. However, it
+ * remains useful if one wishes to read large quantities of data
+ * at once from a packet into the eBPF stack.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_stackid(struct pt_reg *ctx, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Walk a user or a kernel stack and return its id. To achieve
+ * this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer to the context
+ * on which the tracing program is executed, and a pointer to a
+ * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE**.
+ *
+ * The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to
+ * skip (from 0 to 255), masked with
+ * **BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set
+ * a combination of the following flags:
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_USER_STACK**
+ * Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
+ * **BPF_F_FAST_STACK_CMP**
+ * Compare stacks by hash only.
+ * **BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID**
+ * If two different stacks hash into the same *stackid*,
+ * discard the old one.
+ *
+ * The stack id retrieved is a 32 bit long integer handle which
+ * can be further combined with other data (including other stack
+ * ids) and used as a key into maps. This can be useful for
+ * generating a variety of graphs (such as flame graphs or off-cpu
+ * graphs).
+ *
+ * For walking a stack, this helper is an improvement over
+ * **bpf_probe_read**\ (), which can be used with unrolled loops
+ * but is not efficient and consumes a lot of eBPF instructions.
+ * Instead, **bpf_get_stackid**\ () can collect up to
+ * **PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames. Note that
+ * this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and
+ * that it should be manually increased in order to profile long
+ * user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * # sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value>
- *
+ * Return
+ * The positive or null stack id on success, or a negative error
+ * in case of failure.
+ *
+ * s64 bpf_csum_diff(__be32 *from, u32 from_size, __be32 *to, u32 to_size, __wsum seed)
+ * Description
+ * Compute a checksum difference, from the raw buffer pointed by
+ * *from*, of length *from_size* (that must be a multiple of 4),
+ * towards the raw buffer pointed by *to*, of size *to_size*
+ * (same remark). An optional *seed* can be added to the value
+ * (this can be cascaded, the seed may come from a previous call
+ * to the helper).
+ *
+ * This is flexible enough to be used in several ways:
+ *
+ * * With *from_size* == 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to
+ * checksum, it can be used when pushing new data.
+ * * With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* == 0 and *seed* set to
+ * checksum, it can be used when removing data from a packet.
+ * * With *from_size* > 0, *to_size* > 0 and *seed* set to 0, it
+ * can be used to compute a diff. Note that *from_size* and
+ * *to_size* do not need to be equal.
+ *
+ * This helper can be used in combination with
+ * **bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ () and **bpf_l4_csum_replace**\ (), to
+ * which one can feed in the difference computed with
+ * **bpf_csum_diff**\ ().
+ * Return
+ * The checksum result, or a negative error code in case of
+ * failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size)
+ * Description
+ * Retrieve tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to
+ * *skb*, and store the raw tunnel option data to the buffer *opt*
+ * of *size*.
+ *
+ * This helper can be used with encapsulation devices that can
+ * operate in "collect metadata" mode (please refer to the related
+ * note in the description of **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key**\ () for
+ * more details). A particular example where this can be used is
+ * in combination with the Geneve encapsulation protocol, where it
+ * allows for pushing (with **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ () helper)
+ * and retrieving arbitrary TLVs (Type-Length-Value headers) from
+ * the eBPF program. This allows for full customization of these
+ * headers.
+ * Return
+ * The size of the option data retrieved.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_set_tunnel_opt(struct sk_buff *skb, u8 *opt, u32 size)
+ * Description
+ * Set tunnel options metadata for the packet associated to *skb*
+ * to the option data contained in the raw buffer *opt* of *size*.
+ *
+ * See also the description of the **bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt**\ ()
+ * helper for additional information.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_proto(struct sk_buff *skb, __be16 proto, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Change the protocol of the *skb* to *proto*. Currently
+ * supported are transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and from IPv6 to
+ * IPv4. The helper takes care of the groundwork for the
+ * transition, including resizing the socket buffer. The eBPF
+ * program is expected to fill the new headers, if any, via
+ * **skb_store_bytes**\ () and to recompute the checksums with
+ * **bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ () and **bpf_l4_csum_replace**\
+ * (). The main case for this helper is to perform NAT64
+ * operations out of an eBPF program.
+ *
+ * Internally, the GSO type is marked as dodgy so that headers are
+ * checked and segments are recalculated by the GSO/GRO engine.
+ * The size for GSO target is adapted as well.
+ *
+ * All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * be left at zero.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_type(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 type)
+ * Description
+ * Change the packet type for the packet associated to *skb*. This
+ * comes down to setting *skb*\ **->pkt_type** to *type*, except
+ * the eBPF program does not have a write access to *skb*\
+ * **->pkt_type** beside this helper. Using a helper here allows
+ * for graceful handling of errors.
+ *
+ * The major use case is to change incoming *skb*s to
+ * **PACKET_HOST** in a programmatic way instead of having to
+ * recirculate via **redirect**\ (..., **BPF_F_INGRESS**), for
+ * example.
+ *
+ * Note that *type* only allows certain values. At this time, they
+ * are:
+ *
+ * **PACKET_HOST**
+ * Packet is for us.
+ * **PACKET_BROADCAST**
+ * Send packet to all.
+ * **PACKET_MULTICAST**
+ * Send packet to group.
+ * **PACKET_OTHERHOST**
+ * Send packet to someone else.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_under_cgroup(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_map *map, u32 index)
+ * Description
+ * Check whether *skb* is a descendant of the cgroup2 held by
+ * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY**, at *index*.
+ * Return
+ * The return value depends on the result of the test, and can be:
+ *
+ * * 0, if the *skb* failed the cgroup2 descendant test.
+ * * 1, if the *skb* succeeded the cgroup2 descendant test.
+ * * A negative error code, if an error occurred.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_hash_recalc(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * Description
+ * Retrieve the hash of the packet, *skb*\ **->hash**. If it is
+ * not set, in particular if the hash was cleared due to mangling,
+ * recompute this hash. Later accesses to the hash can be done
+ * directly with *skb*\ **->hash**.
+ *
+ * Calling **bpf_set_hash_invalid**\ (), changing a packet
+ * prototype with **bpf_skb_change_proto**\ (), or calling
+ * **bpf_skb_store_bytes**\ () with the
+ * **BPF_F_INVALIDATE_HASH** are actions susceptible to clear
+ * the hash and to trigger a new computation for the next call to
+ * **bpf_get_hash_recalc**\ ().
+ * Return
+ * The 32-bit hash.
*
* u64 bpf_get_current_task(void)
- * Returns current task_struct
- * Return: current
- *
- * int bpf_probe_write_user(void *dst, void *src, int len)
- * safely attempt to write to a location
- * @dst: destination address in userspace
- * @src: source address on stack
- * @len: number of bytes to copy
- * Return: 0 on success or negative error
- *
- * int bpf_current_task_under_cgroup(map, index)
- * Check cgroup2 membership of current task
- * @map: pointer to bpf_map in BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY type
- * @index: index of the cgroup in the bpf_map
- * Return:
- * == 0 current failed the cgroup2 descendant test
- * == 1 current succeeded the cgroup2 descendant test
- * < 0 error
- *
- * int bpf_skb_change_tail(skb, len, flags)
- * The helper will resize the skb to the given new size, to be used f.e.
- * with control messages.
- * @skb: pointer to skb
- * @len: new skb length
- * @flags: reserved
- * Return: 0 on success or negative error
- *
- * int bpf_skb_pull_data(skb, len)
- * The helper will pull in non-linear data in case the skb is non-linear
- * and not all of len are part of the linear section. Only needed for
- * read/write with direct packet access.
- * @skb: pointer to skb
- * @len: len to make read/writeable
- * Return: 0 on success or negative error
- *
- * s64 bpf_csum_update(skb, csum)
- * Adds csum into skb->csum in case of CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.
- * @skb: pointer to skb
- * @csum: csum to add
- * Return: csum on success or negative error
- *
- * void bpf_set_hash_invalid(skb)
- * Invalidate current skb->hash.
- * @skb: pointer to skb
- *
- * int bpf_get_numa_node_id()
- * Return: Id of current NUMA node.
- *
- * int bpf_skb_change_head()
- * Grows headroom of skb and adjusts MAC header offset accordingly.
- * Will extends/reallocae as required automatically.
- * May change skb data pointer and will thus invalidate any check
- * performed for direct packet access.
- * @skb: pointer to skb
- * @len: length of header to be pushed in front
- * @flags: Flags (unused for now)
- * Return: 0 on success or negative error
- *
- * int bpf_xdp_adjust_head(xdp_md, delta)
- * Adjust the xdp_md.data by delta
- * @xdp_md: pointer to xdp_md
- * @delta: An positive/negative integer to be added to xdp_md.data
- * Return: 0 on success or negative on error
+ * Return
+ * A pointer to the current task struct.
+ *
+ * int bpf_probe_write_user(void *dst, const void *src, u32 len)
+ * Description
+ * Attempt in a safe way to write *len* bytes from the buffer
+ * *src* to *dst* in memory. It only works for threads that are in
+ * user context, and *dst* must be a valid user space address.
+ *
+ * This helper should not be used to implement any kind of
+ * security mechanism because of TOC-TOU attacks, but rather to
+ * debug, divert, and manipulate execution of semi-cooperative
+ * processes.
+ *
+ * Keep in mind that this feature is meant for experiments, and it
+ * has a risk of crashing the system and running programs.
+ * Therefore, when an eBPF program using this helper is attached,
+ * a warning including PID and process name is printed to kernel
+ * logs.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_current_task_under_cgroup(struct bpf_map *map, u32 index)
+ * Description
+ * Check whether the probe is being run is the context of a given
+ * subset of the cgroup2 hierarchy. The cgroup2 to test is held by
+ * *map* of type **BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY**, at *index*.
+ * Return
+ * The return value depends on the result of the test, and can be:
+ *
+ * * 0, if the *skb* task belongs to the cgroup2.
+ * * 1, if the *skb* task does not belong to the cgroup2.
+ * * A negative error code, if an error occurred.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_change_tail(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Resize (trim or grow) the packet associated to *skb* to the
+ * new *len*. The *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * be left at zero.
+ *
+ * The basic idea is that the helper performs the needed work to
+ * change the size of the packet, then the eBPF program rewrites
+ * the rest via helpers like **bpf_skb_store_bytes**\ (),
+ * **bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ (), **bpf_l3_csum_replace**\ ()
+ * and others. This helper is a slow path utility intended for
+ * replies with control messages. And because it is targeted for
+ * slow path, the helper itself can afford to be slow: it
+ * implicitly linearizes, unclones and drops offloads from the
+ * *skb*.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_pull_data(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len)
+ * Description
+ * Pull in non-linear data in case the *skb* is non-linear and not
+ * all of *len* are part of the linear section. Make *len* bytes
+ * from *skb* readable and writable. If a zero value is passed for
+ * *len*, then the whole length of the *skb* is pulled.
+ *
+ * This helper is only needed for reading and writing with direct
+ * packet access.
+ *
+ * For direct packet access, testing that offsets to access
+ * are within packet boundaries (test on *skb*\ **->data_end**) is
+ * susceptible to fail if offsets are invalid, or if the requested
+ * data is in non-linear parts of the *skb*. On failure the
+ * program can just bail out, or in the case of a non-linear
+ * buffer, use a helper to make the data available. The
+ * **bpf_skb_load_bytes**\ () helper is a first solution to access
+ * the data. Another one consists in using **bpf_skb_pull_data**
+ * to pull in once the non-linear parts, then retesting and
+ * eventually access the data.
+ *
+ * At the same time, this also makes sure the *skb* is uncloned,
+ * which is a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs
+ * to be an invariant for the write part only, the verifier
+ * detects writes and adds a prologue that is calling
+ * **bpf_skb_pull_data()** to effectively unclone the *skb* from
+ * the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * s64 bpf_csum_update(struct sk_buff *skb, __wsum csum)
+ * Description
+ * Add the checksum *csum* into *skb*\ **->csum** in case the
+ * driver has supplied a checksum for the entire packet into that
+ * field. Return an error otherwise. This helper is intended to be
+ * used in combination with **bpf_csum_diff**\ (), in particular
+ * when the checksum needs to be updated after data has been
+ * written into the packet through direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * The checksum on success, or a negative error code in case of
+ * failure.
+ *
+ * void bpf_set_hash_invalid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * Description
+ * Invalidate the current *skb*\ **->hash**. It can be used after
+ * mangling on headers through direct packet access, in order to
+ * indicate that the hash is outdated and to trigger a
+ * recalculation the next time the kernel tries to access this
+ * hash or when the **bpf_get_hash_recalc**\ () helper is called.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_numa_node_id(void)
+ * Description
+ * Return the id of the current NUMA node. The primary use case
+ * for this helper is the selection of sockets for the local NUMA
+ * node, when the program is attached to sockets using the
+ * **SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_EBPF** option (see also **socket(7)**),
+ * but the helper is also available to other eBPF program types,
+ * similarly to **bpf_get_smp_processor_id**\ ().
+ * Return

+ * int bpf_skb_change_head(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Grows headroom of packet associated to *skb* and adjusts the
+ * offset of the MAC header accordingly, adding *len* bytes of
+ * space. It automatically extends and reallocates memory as
+ * required.
+ *
+ * This helper can be used on a layer 3 *skb* to push a MAC header
+ * for redirection into a layer 2 device.
+ *
+ * All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * be left at zero.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_head(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * Description
+ * Adjust (move) *xdp_md*\ **->data** by *delta* bytes. Note that
+ * it is possible to use a negative value for *delta*. This helper
+ * can be used to prepare the packet for pushing or popping
+ * headers.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying

- *
- * int bpf_bind(ctx, addr, addr_len)

- * set in addr.
- * @ctx: pointer to context of type bpf_sock_addr
- * @addr: pointer to struct sockaddr to bind socket to
- * @addr_len: length of sockaddr structure
- * Return: 0 on success or negative error code
+ * Description
+ * Copy a NUL terminated string from an unsafe address
+ * *unsafe_ptr* to *dst*. The *size* should include the
+ * terminating NUL byte. In case the string length is smaller than
+ * *size*, the target is not padded with further NUL bytes. If the
+ * string length is larger than *size*, just *size*-1 bytes are
+ * copied and the last byte is set to NUL.
+ *
+ * On success, the length of the copied string is returned. This
+ * makes this helper useful in tracing programs for reading
+ * strings, and more importantly to get its length at runtime. See
+ * the following snippet:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
+ * void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
+ * {
+ * char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
+ * int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf),
+ * ctx->di);
+ *
+ * // Consume buf, for example push it to
+ * // userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(); we
+ * // can use res (the string length) as event
+ * // size, after checking its boundaries.
+ * }
+ *
+ * In comparison, using **bpf_probe_read()** helper here instead
+ * to read the string would require to estimate the length at
+ * compile time, and would often result in copying more memory
+ * than necessary.
+ *
+ * Another useful use case is when parsing individual process
+ * arguments or individual environment variables navigating
+ * *current*\ **->mm->arg_start** and *current*\
+ * **->mm->env_start**: using this helper and the return value,
+ * one can quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area.
+ * Return
+ * On success, the strictly positive length of the string,
+ * including the trailing NUL character. On error, a negative
+ * value.
+ *
+ * u64 bpf_get_socket_cookie(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * Description
+ * If the **struct sk_buff** pointed by *skb* has a known socket,
+ * retrieve the cookie (generated by the kernel) of this socket.
+ * If no cookie has been set yet, generate a new cookie. Once
+ * generated, the socket cookie remains stable for the life of the
+ * socket. This helper can be useful for monitoring per socket
+ * networking traffic statistics as it provides a unique socket
+ * identifier per namespace.
+ * Return
+ * A 8-byte long non-decreasing number on success, or 0 if the
+ * socket field is missing inside *skb*.
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_get_socket_uid(struct sk_buff *skb)
+ * Return
+ * The owner UID of the socket associated to *skb*. If the socket
+ * is **NULL**, or if it is not a full socket (i.e. if it is a
+ * time-wait or a request socket instead), **overflowuid** value
+ * is returned (note that **overflowuid** might also be the actual
+ * UID value for the socket).
+ *
+ * u32 bpf_set_hash(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 hash)
+ * Description
+ * Set the full hash for *skb* (set the field *skb*\ **->hash**)
+ * to value *hash*.
+ * Return
+ * 0
+ *
+ * int bpf_setsockopt(struct bpf_sock_ops *bpf_socket, int level, int optname, char *optval, int optlen)
+ * Description
+ * Emulate a call to **setsockopt()** on the socket associated to
+ * *bpf_socket*, which must be a full socket. The *level* at
+ * which the option resides and the name *optname* of the option
+ * must be specified, see **setsockopt(2)** for more information.
+ * The option value of length *optlen* is pointed by *optval*.
+ *
+ * This helper actually implements a subset of **setsockopt()**.
+ * It supports the following *level*\ s:
+ *
+ * * **SOL_SOCKET**, which supports the following *optname*\ s:
+ * **SO_RCVBUF**, **SO_SNDBUF**, **SO_MAX_PACING_RATE**,
+ * **SO_PRIORITY**, **SO_RCVLOWAT**, **SO_MARK**.
+ * * **IPPROTO_TCP**, which supports the following *optname*\ s:
+ * **TCP_CONGESTION**, **TCP_BPF_IW**,
+ * **TCP_BPF_SNDCWND_CLAMP**.
+ * * **IPPROTO_IP**, which supports *optname* **IP_TOS**.
+ * * **IPPROTO_IPV6**, which supports *optname* **IPV6_TCLASS**.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_adjust_room(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 len_diff, u32 mode, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Grow or shrink the room for data in the packet associated to
+ * *skb* by *len_diff*, and according to the selected *mode*.
+ *
+ * There is a single supported mode at this time:
+ *
+ * * **BPF_ADJ_ROOM_NET**: Adjust room at the network layer
+ * (room space is added or removed below the layer 3 header).
+ *
+ * All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * be left at zero.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Redirect the packet to the endpoint referenced by *map* at
+ * index *key*. Depending on its type, this *map* can contain
+ * references to net devices (for forwarding packets through other
+ * ports), or to CPUs (for redirecting XDP frames to another CPU;
+ * but this is only implemented for native XDP (with driver
+ * support) as of this writing).
+ *
+ * All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * be left at zero.
+ *
+ * When used to redirect packets to net devices, this helper
+ * provides a high performance increase over **bpf_redirect**\ ().
+ * This is due to various implementation details of the underlying
+ * mechanisms, one of which is the fact that **bpf_redirect_map**\
+ * () tries to send packet as a "bulk" to the device.
+ * Return
+ * **XDP_REDIRECT** on success, or **XDP_ABORTED** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sk_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Redirect the packet to the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * **BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP**) at index *key*. Both ingress and
+ * egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * egress path otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * Return
+ * **SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sock_map_update(struct bpf_sock_ops *skops, struct bpf_map *map, void *key, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Add an entry to, or update a *map* referencing sockets. The
+ * *skops* is used as a new value for the entry associated to
+ * *key*. *flags* is one of:
+ *
+ * **BPF_NOEXIST**
+ * The entry for *key* must not exist in the map.
+ * **BPF_EXIST**
+ * The entry for *key* must already exist in the map.
+ * **BPF_ANY**
+ * No condition on the existence of the entry for *key*.
+ *
+ * If the *map* has eBPF programs (parser and verdict), those will
+ * be inherited by the socket being added. If the socket is
+ * already attached to eBPF programs, this results in an error.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_meta(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * Description
+ * Adjust the address pointed by *xdp_md*\ **->data_meta** by
+ * *delta* (which can be positive or negative). Note that this
+ * operation modifies the address stored in *xdp_md*\ **->data**,
+ * so the latter must be loaded only after the helper has been
+ * called.
+ *
+ * The use of *xdp_md*\ **->data_meta** is optional and programs
+ * are not required to use it. The rationale is that when the
+ * packet is processed with XDP (e.g. as DoS filter), it is
+ * possible to push further meta data along with it before passing
+ * to the stack, and to give the guarantee that an ingress eBPF
+ * program attached as a TC classifier on the same device can pick
+ * this up for further post-processing. Since TC works with socket
+ * buffers, it remains possible to set from XDP the **mark** or
+ * **priority** pointers, or other pointers for the socket buffer.
+ * Having this scratch space generic and programmable allows for
+ * more flexibility as the user is free to store whatever meta
+ * data they need.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_event_read_value(struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags, struct bpf_perf_event_value *buf, u32 buf_size)
+ * Description
+ * Read the value of a perf event counter, and store it into *buf*
+ * of size *buf_size*. This helper relies on a *map* of type
+ * **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY**. The nature of the perf event
+ * counter is selected when *map* is updated with perf event file
+ * descriptors. The *map* is an array whose size is the number of
+ * available CPUs, and each cell contains a value relative to one
+ * CPU. The value to retrieve is indicated by *flags*, that
+ * contains the index of the CPU to look up, masked with
+ * **BPF_F_INDEX_MASK**. Alternatively, *flags* can be set to
+ * **BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU** to indicate that the value for the
+ * current CPU should be retrieved.
+ *
+ * This helper behaves in a way close to
+ * **bpf_perf_event_read**\ () helper, save that instead of
+ * just returning the value observed, it fills the *buf*
+ * structure. This allows for additional data to be retrieved: in
+ * particular, the enabled and running times (in *buf*\
+ * **->enabled** and *buf*\ **->running**, respectively) are
+ * copied. In general, **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () is
+ * recommended over **bpf_perf_event_read**\ (), which has some
+ * ABI issues and provides fewer functionalities.
+ *
+ * These values are interesting, because hardware PMU (Performance
+ * Monitoring Unit) counters are limited resources. When there are
+ * more PMU based perf events opened than available counters,
+ * kernel will multiplex these events so each event gets certain
+ * percentage (but not all) of the PMU time. In case that
+ * multiplexing happens, the number of samples or counter value
+ * will not reflect the case compared to when no multiplexing
+ * occurs. This makes comparison between different runs difficult.
+ * Typically, the counter value should be normalized before
+ * comparing to other experiments. The usual normalization is done
+ * as follows.
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * normalized_counter = counter * t_enabled / t_running
+ *
+ * Where t_enabled is the time enabled for event and t_running is
+ * the time running for event since last normalization. The
+ * enabled and running times are accumulated since the perf event
+ * open. To achieve scaling factor between two invocations of an
+ * eBPF program, users can can use CPU id as the key (which is
+ * typical for perf array usage model) to remember the previous
+ * value and do the calculation inside the eBPF program.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_perf_prog_read_value(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx, struct bpf_perf_event_value *buf, u32 buf_size)
+ * Description
+ * For en eBPF program attached to a perf event, retrieve the
+ * value of the event counter associated to *ctx* and store it in
+ * the structure pointed by *buf* and of size *buf_size*. Enabled
+ * and running times are also stored in the structure (see
+ * description of helper **bpf_perf_event_read_value**\ () for
+ * more details).
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_getsockopt(struct bpf_sock_ops *bpf_socket, int level, int optname, char *optval, int optlen)
+ * Description
+ * Emulate a call to **getsockopt()** on the socket associated to
+ * *bpf_socket*, which must be a full socket. The *level* at
+ * which the option resides and the name *optname* of the option
+ * must be specified, see **getsockopt(2)** for more information.
+ * The retrieved value is stored in the structure pointed by
+ * *opval* and of length *optlen*.
+ *
+ * This helper actually implements a subset of **getsockopt()**.
+ * It supports the following *level*\ s:
+ *
+ * * **IPPROTO_TCP**, which supports *optname*
+ * **TCP_CONGESTION**.
+ * * **IPPROTO_IP**, which supports *optname* **IP_TOS**.
+ * * **IPPROTO_IPV6**, which supports *optname* **IPV6_TCLASS**.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_override_return(struct pt_reg *regs, u64 rc)
+ * Description
+ * Used for error injection, this helper uses kprobes to override
+ * the return value of the probed function, and to set it to *rc*.
+ * The first argument is the context *regs* on which the kprobe
+ * works.
+ *
+ * This helper works by setting setting the PC (program counter)
+ * to an override function which is run in place of the original
+ * probed function. This means the probed function is not run at
+ * all. The replacement function just returns with the required
+ * value.
+ *
+ * This helper has security implications, and thus is subject to
+ * restrictions. It is only available if the kernel was compiled
+ * with the **CONFIG_BPF_KPROBE_OVERRIDE** configuration
+ * option, and in this case it only works on functions tagged with
+ * **ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION** in the kernel code.
+ *
+ * Also, the helper is only available for the architectures having
+ * the CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION option. As of this writing,
+ * x86 architecture is the only one to support this feature.
+ * Return
+ * 0
+ *
+ * int bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set(struct bpf_sock_ops *bpf_sock, int argval)
+ * Description
+ * Attempt to set the value of the **bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags** field
+ * for the full TCP socket associated to *bpf_sock_ops* to
+ * *argval*.
+ *
+ * The primary use of this field is to determine if there should
+ * be calls to eBPF programs of type
+ * **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS** at various points in the TCP
+ * code. A program of the same type can change its value, per
+ * connection and as necessary, when the connection is
+ * established. This field is directly accessible for reading, but
+ * this helper must be used for updates in order to return an
+ * error if an eBPF program tries to set a callback that is not
+ * supported in the current kernel.
+ *
+ * The supported callback values that *argval* can combine are:
+ *
+ * * **BPF_SOCK_OPS_RTO_CB_FLAG** (retransmission time out)
+ * * **BPF_SOCK_OPS_RETRANS_CB_FLAG** (retransmission)
+ * * **BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB_FLAG** (TCP state change)
+ *
+ * Here are some examples of where one could call such eBPF
+ * program:
+ *
+ * * When RTO fires.
+ * * When a packet is retransmitted.
+ * * When the connection terminates.
+ * * When a packet is sent.
+ * * When a packet is received.
+ * Return
+ * Code **-EINVAL** if the socket is not a full TCP socket;
+ * otherwise, a positive number containing the bits that could not
+ * be set is returned (which comes down to 0 if all bits were set
+ * as required).
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_redirect_map(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * This helper is used in programs implementing policies at the
+ * socket level. If the message *msg* is allowed to pass (i.e. if
+ * the verdict eBPF program returns **SK_PASS**), redirect it to
+ * the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * **BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP**) at index *key*. Both ingress and
+ * egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * egress path otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * Return
+ * **SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_apply_bytes(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 bytes)
+ * Description
+ * For socket policies, apply the verdict of the eBPF program to
+ * the next *bytes* (number of bytes) of message *msg*.
+ *
+ * For example, this helper can be used in the following cases:
+ *
+ * * A single **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () system call
+ * contains multiple logical messages that the eBPF program is
+ * supposed to read and for which it should apply a verdict.
+ * * An eBPF program only cares to read the first *bytes* of a
+ * *msg*. If the message has a large payload, then setting up
+ * and calling the eBPF program repeatedly for all bytes, even
+ * though the verdict is already known, would create unnecessary
+ * overhead.
+ *
+ * When called from within an eBPF program, the helper sets a
+ * counter internal to the BPF infrastructure, that is used to
+ * apply the last verdict to the next *bytes*. If *bytes* is
+ * smaller than the current data being processed from a
+ * **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () system call, the first
+ * *bytes* will be sent and the eBPF program will be re-run with
+ * the pointer for start of data pointing to byte number *bytes*
+ * **+ 1**. If *bytes* is larger than the current data being
+ * processed, then the eBPF verdict will be applied to multiple
+ * **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () calls until *bytes* are
+ * consumed.
+ *
+ * Note that if a socket closes with the internal counter holding
+ * a non-zero value, this is not a problem because data is not
+ * being buffered for *bytes* and is sent as it is received.
+ * Return
+ * 0
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_cork_bytes(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 bytes)
+ * Description
+ * For socket policies, prevent the execution of the verdict eBPF
+ * program for message *msg* until *bytes* (byte number) have been
+ * accumulated.
+ *
+ * This can be used when one needs a specific number of bytes
+ * before a verdict can be assigned, even if the data spans
+ * multiple **sendmsg**\ () or **sendfile**\ () calls. The extreme
+ * case would be a user calling **sendmsg**\ () repeatedly with
+ * 1-byte long message segments. Obviously, this is bad for
+ * performance, but it is still valid. If the eBPF program needs
+ * *bytes* bytes to validate a header, this helper can be used to
+ * prevent the eBPF program to be called again until *bytes* have
+ * been accumulated.
+ * Return
+ * 0
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_pull_data(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 start, u32 end, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * For socket policies, pull in non-linear data from user space
+ * for *msg* and set pointers *msg*\ **->data** and *msg*\
+ * **->data_end** to *start* and *end* bytes offsets into *msg*,
+ * respectively.
+ *
+ * If a program of type **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG** is run on a
+ * *msg* it can only parse data that the (**data**, **data_end**)
+ * pointers have already consumed. For **sendmsg**\ () hooks this
+ * is likely the first scatterlist element. But for calls relying
+ * on the **sendpage** handler (e.g. **sendfile**\ ()) this will
+ * be the range (**0**, **0**) because the data is shared with
+ * user space and by default the objective is to avoid allowing
+ * user space to modify data while (or after) eBPF verdict is
+ * being decided. This helper can be used to pull in data and to
+ * set the start and end pointer to given values. Data will be
+ * copied if necessary (i.e. if data was not linear and if start
+ * and end pointers do not point to the same chunk).
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ *
+ * All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * be left at zero.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_bind(struct bpf_sock_addr *ctx, struct sockaddr *addr, int addr_len)
+ * Description
+ * Bind the socket associated to *ctx* to the address pointed by
+ * *addr*, of length *addr_len*. This allows for making outgoing
+ * connection from the desired IP address, which can be useful for
+ * example when all processes inside a cgroup should use one
+ * single IP address on a host that has multiple IP configured.
+ *
+ * This helper works for IPv4 and IPv6, TCP and UDP sockets. The
+ * domain (*addr*\ **->sa_family**) must be **AF_INET** (or
+ * **AF_INET6**). Looking for a free port to bind to can be
+ * expensive, therefore binding to port is not permitted by the
+ * helper: *addr*\ **->sin_port** (or **sin6_port**, respectively)
+ * must be set to zero.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(struct xdp_buff *xdp_md, int delta)
+ * Description
+ * Adjust (move) *xdp_md*\ **->data_end** by *delta* bytes. It is
+ * only possible to shrink the packet as of this writing,
+ * therefore *delta* must be a negative integer.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 index, struct bpf_xfrm_state *xfrm_state, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Retrieve the XFRM state (IP transform framework, see also
+ * **ip-xfrm(8)**) at *index* in XFRM "security path" for *skb*.
+ *
+ * The retrieved value is stored in the **struct bpf_xfrm_state**
+ * pointed by *xfrm_state* and of length *size*.
+ *
+ * All values for *flags* are reserved for future usage, and must
+ * be left at zero.
+ *
+ * This helper is available only if the kernel was compiled with
+ * **CONFIG_XFRM** configuration option.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_get_stack(struct pt_regs *regs, void *buf, u32 size, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Return a user or a kernel stack in bpf program provided buffer.
+ * To achieve this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer
+ * to the context on which the tracing program is executed.
+ * To store the stacktrace, the bpf program provides *buf* with
+ * a nonnegative *size*.
+ *
+ * The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to
+ * skip (from 0 to 255), masked with
+ * **BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set
+ * the following flags:
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_USER_STACK**
+ * Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
+ * **BPF_F_USER_BUILD_ID**
+ * Collect buildid+offset instead of ips for user stack,
+ * only valid if **BPF_F_USER_STACK** is also specified.
+ *
+ * **bpf_get_stack**\ () can collect up to
+ * **PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames, subject
+ * to sufficient large buffer size. Note that
+ * this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and
+ * that it should be manually increased in order to profile long
+ * user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * # sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value>
- *
+ * Return
- * a non-negative value equal to or less than size on success, or
- * a negative error in case of failure.
++ * A non-negative value equal to or less than *size* on success,
++ * or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int skb_load_bytes_relative(const struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, void *to, u32 len, u32 start_header)
+ * Description
+ * This helper is similar to **bpf_skb_load_bytes**\ () in that
+ * it provides an easy way to load *len* bytes from *offset*
+ * from the packet associated to *skb*, into the buffer pointed
+ * by *to*. The difference to **bpf_skb_load_bytes**\ () is that
+ * a fifth argument *start_header* exists in order to select a
+ * base offset to start from. *start_header* can be one of:
+ *
+ * **BPF_HDR_START_MAC**
+ * Base offset to load data from is *skb*'s mac header.
+ * **BPF_HDR_START_NET**
+ * Base offset to load data from is *skb*'s network header.
+ *
+ * In general, "direct packet access" is the preferred method to
+ * access packet data, however, this helper is in particular useful
+ * in socket filters where *skb*\ **->data** does not always point
+ * to the start of the mac header and where "direct packet access"
+ * is not available.
- *
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_fib_lookup(void *ctx, struct bpf_fib_lookup *params, int plen, u32 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Do FIB lookup in kernel tables using parameters in *params*.
+ * If lookup is successful and result shows packet is to be
+ * forwarded, the neighbor tables are searched for the nexthop.
+ * If successful (ie., FIB lookup shows forwarding and nexthop
- * is resolved), the nexthop address is returned in ipv4_dst,
- * ipv6_dst or mpls_out based on family, smac is set to mac
- * address of egress device, dmac is set to nexthop mac address,
- * rt_metric is set to metric from route.
++ * is resolved), the nexthop address is returned in ipv4_dst
++ * or ipv6_dst based on family, smac is set to mac address of
++ * egress device, dmac is set to nexthop mac address, rt_metric
++ * is set to metric from route (IPv4/IPv6 only).
+ *
+ * *plen* argument is the size of the passed in struct.
- * *flags* argument can be one or more BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_ flags:
++ * *flags* argument can be a combination of one or more of the
++ * following values:
+ *
- * **BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT** means do a direct table lookup vs
- * full lookup using FIB rules
- * **BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT** means do lookup from an egress
- * perspective (default is ingress)
++ * **BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT**
++ * Do a direct table lookup vs full lookup using FIB
++ * rules.
++ * **BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT**
++ * Perform lookup from an egress perspective (default is
++ * ingress).
+ *
+ * *ctx* is either **struct xdp_md** for XDP programs or
+ * **struct sk_buff** tc cls_act programs.
- *
+ * Return
+ * Egress device index on success, 0 if packet needs to continue
+ * up the stack for further processing or a negative error in case
+ * of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sock_hash_update(struct bpf_sock_ops_kern *skops, struct bpf_map *map, void *key, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Add an entry to, or update a sockhash *map* referencing sockets.
+ * The *skops* is used as a new value for the entry associated to
+ * *key*. *flags* is one of:
+ *
+ * **BPF_NOEXIST**
+ * The entry for *key* must not exist in the map.
+ * **BPF_EXIST**
+ * The entry for *key* must already exist in the map.
+ * **BPF_ANY**
+ * No condition on the existence of the entry for *key*.
+ *
+ * If the *map* has eBPF programs (parser and verdict), those will
+ * be inherited by the socket being added. If the socket is
+ * already attached to eBPF programs, this results in an error.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_msg_redirect_hash(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, struct bpf_map *map, void *key, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * This helper is used in programs implementing policies at the
+ * socket level. If the message *msg* is allowed to pass (i.e. if
+ * the verdict eBPF program returns **SK_PASS**), redirect it to
+ * the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * **BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH**) using hash *key*. Both ingress and
+ * egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * egress path otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * Return
+ * **SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_sk_redirect_hash(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_map *map, void *key, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * This helper is used in programs implementing policies at the
+ * skb socket level. If the sk_buff *skb* is allowed to pass (i.e.
+ * if the verdeict eBPF program returns **SK_PASS**), redirect it
+ * to the socket referenced by *map* (of type
+ * **BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH**) using hash *key*. Both ingress and
+ * egress interfaces can be used for redirection. The
+ * **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the
+ * distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present,
+ * egress otherwise). This is the only flag supported for now.
+ * Return
+ * **SK_PASS** on success, or **SK_DROP** on error.
+ *
+ * int bpf_lwt_push_encap(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 type, void *hdr, u32 len)
+ * Description
+ * Encapsulate the packet associated to *skb* within a Layer 3
+ * protocol header. This header is provided in the buffer at
+ * address *hdr*, with *len* its size in bytes. *type* indicates
+ * the protocol of the header and can be one of:
+ *
+ * **BPF_LWT_ENCAP_SEG6**
+ * IPv6 encapsulation with Segment Routing Header
+ * (**struct ipv6_sr_hdr**). *hdr* only contains the SRH,
+ * the IPv6 header is computed by the kernel.
+ * **BPF_LWT_ENCAP_SEG6_INLINE**
+ * Only works if *skb* contains an IPv6 packet. Insert a
+ * Segment Routing Header (**struct ipv6_sr_hdr**) inside
+ * the IPv6 header.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_lwt_seg6_store_bytes(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, const void *from, u32 len)
+ * Description
+ * Store *len* bytes from address *from* into the packet
+ * associated to *skb*, at *offset*. Only the flags, tag and TLVs
+ * inside the outermost IPv6 Segment Routing Header can be
+ * modified through this helper.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 offset, s32 delta)
+ * Description
+ * Adjust the size allocated to TLVs in the outermost IPv6
+ * Segment Routing Header contained in the packet associated to
+ * *skb*, at position *offset* by *delta* bytes. Only offsets
+ * after the segments are accepted. *delta* can be as well
+ * positive (growing) as negative (shrinking).
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
+ *
+ * int bpf_lwt_seg6_action(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 action, void *param, u32 param_len)
+ * Description
+ * Apply an IPv6 Segment Routing action of type *action* to the
+ * packet associated to *skb*. Each action takes a parameter
+ * contained at address *param*, and of length *param_len* bytes.
+ * *action* can be one of:
+ *
+ * **SEG6_LOCAL_ACTION_END_X**
+ * End.X action: Endpoint with Layer-3 cross-connect.
+ * Type of *param*: **struct in6_addr**.
+ * **SEG6_LOCAL_ACTION_END_T**
+ * End.T action: Endpoint with specific IPv6 table lookup.
+ * Type of *param*: **int**.
+ * **SEG6_LOCAL_ACTION_END_B6**
+ * End.B6 action: Endpoint bound to an SRv6 policy.
+ * Type of param: **struct ipv6_sr_hdr**.
+ * **SEG6_LOCAL_ACTION_END_B6_ENCAP**
+ * End.B6.Encap action: Endpoint bound to an SRv6
+ * encapsulation policy.
+ * Type of param: **struct ipv6_sr_hdr**.
+ *
+ * A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlaying
+ * packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers
+ * previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be
+ * performed again, if the helper is used in combination with
+ * direct packet access.
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.
++ *
++ * int bpf_rc_keydown(void *ctx, u32 protocol, u64 scancode, u32 toggle)
++ * Description
++ * This helper is used in programs implementing IR decoding, to
++ * report a successfully decoded key press with *scancode*,
++ * *toggle* value in the given *protocol*. The scancode will be
++ * translated to a keycode using the rc keymap, and reported as
++ * an input key down event. After a period a key up event is
++ * generated. This period can be extended by calling either
++ * **bpf_rc_keydown** () again with the same values, or calling
++ * **bpf_rc_repeat** ().
++ *
++ * Some protocols include a toggle bit, in case the button was
++ * released and pressed again between consecutive scancodes.
++ *
++ * The *ctx* should point to the lirc sample as passed into
++ * the program.
++ *
++ * The *protocol* is the decoded protocol number (see
++ * **enum rc_proto** for some predefined values).
++ *
++ * This helper is only available is the kernel was compiled with
++ * the **CONFIG_BPF_LIRC_MODE2** configuration option set to
++ * "**y**".
++ *
++ * Return
++ * 0
++ *
++ * int bpf_rc_repeat(void *ctx)
++ * Description
++ * This helper is used in programs implementing IR decoding, to
++ * report a successfully decoded repeat key message. This delays
++ * the generation of a key up event for previously generated
++ * key down event.
++ *
++ * Some IR protocols like NEC have a special IR message for
++ * repeating last button, for when a button is held down.
++ *
++ * The *ctx* should point to the lirc sample as passed into
++ * the program.
++ *
++ * This helper is only available is the kernel was compiled with
++ * the **CONFIG_BPF_LIRC_MODE2** configuration option set to
++ * "**y**".
++ *
++ * Return
++ * 0
++ *
++ * uint64_t bpf_skb_cgroup_id(struct sk_buff *skb)
++ * Description
++ * Return the cgroup v2 id of the socket associated with the *skb*.
++ * This is roughly similar to the **bpf_get_cgroup_classid**\ ()
++ * helper for cgroup v1 by providing a tag resp. identifier that
++ * can be matched on or used for map lookups e.g. to implement
++ * policy. The cgroup v2 id of a given path in the hierarchy is
++ * exposed in user space through the f_handle API in order to get
++ * to the same 64-bit id.
++ *
++ * This helper can be used on TC egress path, but not on ingress,
++ * and is available only if the kernel was compiled with the
++ * **CONFIG_SOCK_CGROUP_DATA** configuration option.
++ * Return
++ * The id is returned or 0 in case the id could not be retrieved.
++ *
++ * u64 bpf_get_current_cgroup_id(void)
++ * Return
++ * A 64-bit integer containing the current cgroup id based
++ * on the cgroup within which the current task is running.
