BPF(2)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 BPF(2)

NAME         top

       bpf - perform a command on an extended BPF map or program

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <linux/bpf.h>

       int bpf(int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The bpf() system call performs a range of operations related to
       extended Berkeley Packet Filters.  Extended BPF (or eBPF) is
       similar to the original ("classic") BPF (cBPF) used to filter
       network packets.  For both cBPF and eBPF programs, the kernel
       statically analyzes the programs before loading them, in order to
       ensure that they cannot harm the running system.

       eBPF extends cBPF in multiple ways, including the ability to call
       a fixed set of in-kernel helper functions (via the BPF_CALL
       opcode extension provided by eBPF) and access shared data
       structures such as eBPF maps.

   Extended BPF Design/Architecture
       eBPF maps are a generic data structure for storage of different
       data types.  Data types are generally treated as binary blobs, so
       a user just specifies the size of the key and the size of the
       value at map-creation time.  In other words, a key/value for a
       given map can have an arbitrary structure.

       A user process can create multiple maps (with key/value-pairs
       being opaque bytes of data) and access them via file descriptors.
       Different eBPF programs can access the same maps in parallel.
       It's up to the user process and eBPF program to decide what they
       store inside maps.

       There's one special map type, called a program array.  This type
       of map stores file descriptors referring to other eBPF programs.
       When a lookup in the map is performed, the program flow is
       redirected in-place to the beginning of another eBPF program and
       does not return back to the calling program.  The level of
       nesting has a fixed limit of 32, so that infinite loops cannot be
       crafted.  At run time, the program file descriptors stored in the
       map can be modified, so program functionality can be altered
       based on specific requirements.  All programs referred to in a
       program-array map must have been previously loaded into the
       kernel via bpf().  If a map lookup fails, the current program
       continues its execution.  See BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY below for
       further details.

       Generally, eBPF programs are loaded by the user process and
       automatically unloaded when the process exits.  In some cases,
       for example, tc-bpf(8), the program will continue to stay alive
       inside the kernel even after the process that loaded the program
       exits.  In that case, the tc subsystem holds a reference to the
       eBPF program after the file descriptor has been closed by the
       user-space program.  Thus, whether a specific program continues
       to live inside the kernel depends on how it is further attached
       to a given kernel subsystem after it was loaded via bpf().

       Each eBPF program is a set of instructions that is safe to run
       until its completion.  An in-kernel verifier statically
       determines that the eBPF program terminates and is safe to
       execute.  During verification, the kernel increments reference
       counts for each of the maps that the eBPF program uses, so that
       the attached maps can't be removed until the program is unloaded.

       eBPF programs can be attached to different events.  These events
       can be the arrival of network packets, tracing events,
       classification events by network queueing  disciplines (for eBPF
       programs attached to a tc(8) classifier), and other types that
       may be added in the future.  A new event triggers execution of
       the eBPF program, which may store information about the event in
       eBPF maps.  Beyond storing data, eBPF programs may call a fixed
       set of in-kernel helper functions.

       The same eBPF program can be attached to multiple events and
       different eBPF programs can access the same map:

            |             |         |          |           v          |
            --> tracing <--     tracing      socket    tc ingress   tc egress

              |---  -----|  |------|          map_3        |           |
            map_1       map_2                              --| map_4 |--

   Arguments
       The operation to be performed by the bpf() system call is
       determined by the cmd argument.  Each operation takes an
       accompanying argument, provided via attr, which is a pointer to a
       union of type bpf_attr (see below).  The size argument is the
       size of the union pointed to by attr.

       The value provided in cmd is one of the following:

       BPF_MAP_CREATE
              Create a map and return a file descriptor that refers to
              the map.  The close-on-exec file descriptor flag (see
              fcntl(2)) is automatically enabled for the new file
              descriptor.

       BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
              Look up an element by key in a specified map and return
              its value.

       BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
              Create or update an element (key/value pair) in a
              specified map.

       BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM
              Look up and delete an element by key in a specified map.

       BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY
              Look up an element by key in a specified map and return
              the key of the next element.

       BPF_PROG_LOAD
              Verify and load an eBPF program, returning a new file
              descriptor associated with the program.  The close-on-exec
              file descriptor flag (see fcntl(2)) is automatically
              enabled for the new file descriptor.

              The bpf_attr union consists of various anonymous
              structures that are used by different bpf() commands:

           union bpf_attr {
               struct {    /* Used by BPF_MAP_CREATE */
                   __u32         map_type;
                   __u32         key_size;    /* size of key in bytes */
                   __u32         value_size;  /* size of value in bytes */
                   __u32         max_entries; /* maximum number of entries
                                                 in a map */
               };

               struct {    /* Used by BPF_MAP_*_ELEM and BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY
                              commands */
                   __u32         map_fd;
                   __aligned_u64 key;
                   union {
                       __aligned_u64 value;
                       __aligned_u64 next_key;
                   };
                   __u64         flags;
               };

               struct {    /* Used by BPF_PROG_LOAD */
                   __u32         prog_type;
                   __u32         insn_cnt;
                   __aligned_u64 insns;      /* 'const struct bpf_insn *' */
                   __aligned_u64 license;    /* 'const char *' */
                   __u32         log_level;  /* verbosity level of verifier */
                   __u32         log_size;   /* size of user buffer */
                   __aligned_u64 log_buf;    /* user supplied 'char *'
                                                buffer */
                   __u32         kern_version;
                                             /* checked when prog_type=kprobe
                                                (since Linux 4.1) */
               };
           } __attribute__((aligned(8)));

   eBPF maps
       Maps are a generic data structure for storage of different types
       of data.  They allow sharing of data between eBPF kernel
       programs, and also between kernel and user-space applications.

       Each map type has the following attributes:

       *  type

       *  maximum number of elements

       *  key size in bytes

       *  value size in bytes

       The following wrapper functions demonstrate how various bpf()
       commands can be used to access the maps.  The functions use the
       cmd argument to invoke different operations.

       BPF_MAP_CREATE
              The BPF_MAP_CREATE command creates a new map, returning a
              new file descriptor that refers to the map.

                  int
                  bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type,
                                 unsigned int key_size,
                                 unsigned int value_size,
                                 unsigned int max_entries)
                  {
                      union bpf_attr attr = {
                          .map_type    = map_type,
                          .key_size    = key_size,
                          .value_size  = value_size,
                          .max_entries = max_entries
                      };

                      return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
                  }

              The new map has the type specified by map_type, and
              attributes as specified in key_size, value_size, and
              max_entries.  On success, this operation returns a file
              descriptor.  On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to
              EINVAL, EPERM, or ENOMEM.

              The key_size and value_size attributes will be used by the
              verifier during program loading to check that the program
              is calling bpf_map_*_elem() helper functions with a
              correctly initialized key and to check that the program
              doesn't access the map element value beyond the specified
              value_size.  For example, when a map is created with a
              key_size of 8 and the eBPF program calls

                  bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, fp - 4)

              the program will be rejected, since the in-kernel helper
              function

                  bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, void *key)

              expects to read 8 bytes from the location pointed to by
              key, but the fp - 4 (where fp is the top of the stack)
              starting address will cause out-of-bounds stack access.

              Similarly, when a map is created with a value_size of 1
              and the eBPF program contains

                  value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...);
                  *(u32 *) value = 1;

              the program will be rejected, since it accesses the value
              pointer beyond the specified 1 byte value_size limit.

              Currently, the following values are supported for
              map_type:

                  enum bpf_map_type {
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_UNSPEC,  /* Reserve 0 as invalid map type */
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_PERCPU_HASH,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_DEVMAP,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_QUEUE,
                      BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK,
                      /* See /usr/include/linux/bpf.h for the full list. */
                  };

              map_type selects one of the available map implementations
              in the kernel.  For all map types, eBPF programs access
              maps with the same bpf_map_lookup_elem() and
              bpf_map_update_elem() helper functions.  Further details
              of the various map types are given below.

       BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
              The BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM command looks up an element with a
              given key in the map referred to by the file descriptor
              fd.

                  int
                  bpf_lookup_elem(int fd, const void *key, void *value)
                  {
                      union bpf_attr attr = {
                          .map_fd = fd,
                          .key    = ptr_to_u64(key),
                          .value  = ptr_to_u64(value),
                      };

                      return bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
                  }

              If an element is found, the operation returns zero and
              stores the element's value into value, which must point to
              a buffer of value_size bytes.

              If no element is found, the operation returns -1 and sets
              errno to ENOENT.

       BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
              The BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM command creates or updates an
              element with a given key/value in the map referred to by
              the file descriptor fd.

                  int
                  bpf_update_elem(int fd, const void *key, const void *value,
                                  uint64_t flags)
                  {
                      union bpf_attr attr = {
                          .map_fd = fd,
                          .key    = ptr_to_u64(key),
                          .value  = ptr_to_u64(value),
                          .flags  = flags,
                      };

                      return bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
                  }

              The flags argument should be specified as one of the
              following:

              BPF_ANY
                     Create a new element or update an existing element.

              BPF_NOEXIST
                     Create a new element only if it did not exist.

              BPF_EXIST
                     Update an existing element.

              On success, the operation returns zero.  On error, -1 is
              returned and errno is set to EINVAL, EPERM, ENOMEM, or
              E2BIG.  E2BIG indicates that the number of elements in the
              map reached the max_entries limit specified at map
              creation time.  EEXIST will be returned if flags specifies
              BPF_NOEXIST and the element with key already exists in the
              map.  ENOENT will be returned if flags specifies BPF_EXIST
              and the element with key doesn't exist in the map.

       BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM
              The BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM command deletes the element whose
              key is key from the map referred to by the file descriptor
              fd.

                  int
                  bpf_delete_elem(int fd, const void *key)
                  {
                      union bpf_attr attr = {
                          .map_fd = fd,
                          .key    = ptr_to_u64(key),
                      };

                      return bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
                  }

              On success, zero is returned.  If the element is not
              found, -1 is returned and errno is set to ENOENT.

       BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY
              The BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY command looks up an element by
              key in the map referred to by the file descriptor fd and
              sets the next_key pointer to the key of the next element.

                  int
                  bpf_get_next_key(int fd, const void *key, void *next_key)
                  {
                      union bpf_attr attr = {
                          .map_fd   = fd,
                          .key      = ptr_to_u64(key),
                          .next_key = ptr_to_u64(next_key),
                      };

                      return bpf(BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY, &attr, sizeof(attr));
                  }

              If key is found, the operation returns zero and sets the
              next_key pointer to the key of the next element.  If key
              is not found, the operation returns zero and sets the
              next_key pointer to the key of the first element.  If key
              is the last element, -1 is returned and errno is set to
              ENOENT.  Other possible errno values are ENOMEM, EFAULT,
              EPERM, and EINVAL.  This method can be used to iterate
              over all elements in the map.

       close(map_fd)
              Delete the map referred to by the file descriptor map_fd.
              When the user-space program that created a map exits, all
              maps will be deleted automatically (but see NOTES).

   eBPF map types
       The following map types are supported:

       BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH
              Hash-table maps have the following characteristics:

              *  Maps are created and destroyed by user-space programs.
                 Both user-space and eBPF programs can perform lookup,
                 update, and delete operations.

              *  The kernel takes care of allocating and freeing
                 key/value pairs.

              *  The map_update_elem() helper will fail to insert new
                 element when the max_entries limit is reached.  (This
                 ensures that eBPF programs cannot exhaust memory.)

              *  map_update_elem() replaces existing elements
                 atomically.

              Hash-table maps are optimized for speed of lookup.

       BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY
              Array maps have the following characteristics:

              *  Optimized for fastest possible lookup.  In the future
                 the verifier/JIT compiler may recognize lookup()
                 operations that employ a constant key and optimize it
                 into constant pointer.  It is possible to optimize a
                 non-constant key into direct pointer arithmetic as
                 well, since pointers and value_size are constant for
                 the life of the eBPF program.  In other words,
                 array_map_lookup_elem() may be 'inlined' by the
                 verifier/JIT compiler while preserving concurrent
                 access to this map from user space.

              *  All array elements pre-allocated and zero initialized
                 at init time

              *  The key is an array index, and must be exactly four
                 bytes.

              *  map_delete_elem() fails with the error EINVAL, since
                 elements cannot be deleted.

              *  map_update_elem() replaces elements in a nonatomic
                 fashion; for atomic updates, a hash-table map should be
                 used instead.  There is however one special case that
                 can also be used with arrays: the atomic built-in
                 __sync_fetch_and_add() can be used on 32 and 64 bit
                 atomic counters.  For example, it can be applied on the
                 whole value itself if it represents a single counter,
                 or in case of a structure containing multiple counters,
                 it could be used on individual counters.  This is quite
                 often useful for aggregation and accounting of events.

              Among the uses for array maps are the following:

              *  As "global" eBPF variables: an array of 1 element whose
                 key is (index) 0 and where the value is a collection of
                 'global' variables which eBPF programs can use to keep
                 state between events.

              *  Aggregation of tracing events into a fixed set of
                 buckets.

              *  Accounting of networking events, for example, number of
                 packets and packet sizes.

       BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY (since Linux 4.2)
              A program array map is a special kind of array map whose
              map values contain only file descriptors referring to
              other eBPF programs.  Thus, both the key_size and
              value_size must be exactly four bytes.  This map is used
              in conjunction with the bpf_tail_call() helper.

              This means that an eBPF program with a program array map
              attached to it can call from kernel side into

                  void bpf_tail_call(void *context, void *prog_map,
                                     unsigned int index);

              and therefore replace its own program flow with the one
              from the program at the given program array slot, if
              present.  This can be regarded as kind of a jump table to
              a different eBPF program.  The invoked program will then
              reuse the same stack.  When a jump into the new program
              has been performed, it won't return to the old program
              anymore.

              If no eBPF program is found at the given index of the
              program array (because the map slot doesn't contain a
              valid program file descriptor, the specified lookup
              index/key is out of bounds, or the limit of 32 nested
              calls has been exceed), execution continues with the
              current eBPF program.  This can be used as a fall-through
              for default cases.

              A program array map is useful, for example, in tracing or
              networking, to handle individual system calls or protocols
              in their own subprograms and use their identifiers as an
              individual map index.  This approach may result in
              performance benefits, and also makes it possible to
              overcome the maximum instruction limit of a single eBPF
              program.  In dynamic environments, a user-space daemon
              might atomically replace individual subprograms at run-
              time with newer versions to alter overall program
              behavior, for instance, if global policies change.

   eBPF programs
       The BPF_PROG_LOAD command is used to load an eBPF program into
       the kernel.  The return value for this command is a new file
       descriptor associated with this eBPF program.

           char bpf_log_buf[LOG_BUF_SIZE];

           int
           bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type type,
                         const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt,
                         const char *license)
           {
               union bpf_attr attr = {
                   .prog_type = type,
                   .insns     = ptr_to_u64(insns),
                   .insn_cnt  = insn_cnt,
                   .license   = ptr_to_u64(license),
                   .log_buf   = ptr_to_u64(bpf_log_buf),
                   .log_size  = LOG_BUF_SIZE,
                   .log_level = 1,
               };

               return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr));
           }

       prog_type is one of the available program types:

                  enum bpf_prog_type {
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC,        /* Reserve 0 as invalid
                                                      program type */
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_ACT,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_IN,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_OUT,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_XMIT,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_DEVICE,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_SEG6LOCAL,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_LIRC_MODE2,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_REUSEPORT,
                      BPF_PROG_TYPE_FLOW_DISSECTOR,
                      /* See /usr/include/linux/bpf.h for the full list. */
                  };

       For further details of eBPF program types, see below.

       The remaining fields of bpf_attr are set as follows:

       *  insns is an array of struct bpf_insn instructions.

       *  insn_cnt is the number of instructions in the program referred
          to by insns.

       *  license is a license string, which must be GPL compatible to
          call helper functions marked gpl_only.  (The licensing rules
          are the same as for kernel modules, so that also dual
          licenses, such as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used.)

       *  log_buf is a pointer to a caller-allocated buffer in which the
          in-kernel verifier can store the verification log.  This log
          is a multi-line string that can be checked by the program
          author in order to understand how the verifier came to the
          conclusion that the eBPF program is unsafe.  The format of the
          output can change at any time as the verifier evolves.

       *  log_size size of the buffer pointed to by log_buf.  If the
          size of the buffer is not large enough to store all verifier
          messages, -1 is returned and errno is set to ENOSPC.

       *  log_level verbosity level of the verifier.  A value of zero
          means that the verifier will not provide a log; in this case,
          log_buf must be a NULL pointer, and log_size must be zero.

       Applying close(2) to the file descriptor returned by
       BPF_PROG_LOAD will unload the eBPF program (but see NOTES).

       Maps are accessible from eBPF programs and are used to exchange
       data between eBPF programs and between eBPF programs and user-
       space programs.  For example, eBPF programs can process various
       events (like kprobe, packets) and store their data into a map,
       and user-space programs can then fetch data from the map.
       Conversely, user-space programs can use a map as a configuration
       mechanism, populating the map with values checked by the eBPF
       program, which then modifies its behavior on the fly according to
       those values.

   eBPF program types
       The eBPF program type (prog_type) determines the subset of kernel
       helper functions that the program may call.  The program type
       also determines the program input (context)—the format of struct
       bpf_context (which is the data blob passed into the eBPF program
       as the first argument).

       For example, a tracing program does not have the exact same
       subset of helper functions as a socket filter program (though
       they may have some helpers in common).  Similarly, the input
       (context) for a tracing program is a set of register values,
       while for a socket filter it is a network packet.

       The set of functions available to eBPF programs of a given type
       may increase in the future.

       The following program types are supported:

       BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER (since Linux 3.19)
              Currently, the set of functions for
              BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER is:

                  bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, void *key)
                                      /* look up key in a map_fd */
                  bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd, void *key, void *value)
                                      /* update key/value */
                  bpf_map_delete_elem(map_fd, void *key)
                                      /* delete key in a map_fd */

              The bpf_context argument is a pointer to a struct
              __sk_buff.

       BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE (since Linux 4.1)
              [To be documented]

       BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS (since Linux 4.1)
              [To be documented]

       BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_ACT (since Linux 4.1)
              [To be documented]

   Events
       Once a program is loaded, it can be attached to an event.
       Various kernel subsystems have different ways to do so.

       Since Linux 3.19, the following call will attach the program
       prog_fd to the socket sockfd, which was created by an earlier
       call to socket(2):

           setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF,
                      &prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd));

       Since Linux 4.1, the following call may be used to attach the
       eBPF program referred to by the file descriptor prog_fd to a perf
       event file descriptor, event_fd, that was created by a previous
       call to perf_event_open(2):

           ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);

RETURN VALUE         top

       For a successful call, the return value depends on the operation:

       BPF_MAP_CREATE
              The new file descriptor associated with the eBPF map.

       BPF_PROG_LOAD
              The new file descriptor associated with the eBPF program.

       All other commands
              Zero.

       On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       E2BIG  The eBPF program is too large or a map reached the
              max_entries limit (maximum number of elements).

       EACCES For BPF_PROG_LOAD, even though all program instructions
              are valid, the program has been rejected because it was
              deemed unsafe.  This may be because it may have accessed a
              disallowed memory region or an uninitialized
              stack/register or because the function constraints don't
              match the actual types or because there was a misaligned
              memory access.  In this case, it is recommended to call
              bpf() again with log_level = 1 and examine log_buf for the
              specific reason provided by the verifier.

       EBADF  fd is not an open file descriptor.

       EFAULT One of the pointers (key or value or log_buf or insns) is
              outside the accessible address space.

       EINVAL The value specified in cmd is not recognized by this
              kernel.

       EINVAL For BPF_MAP_CREATE, either map_type or attributes are
              invalid.

       EINVAL For BPF_MAP_*_ELEM commands, some of the fields of union
              bpf_attr that are not used by this command are not set to
              zero.

       EINVAL For BPF_PROG_LOAD, indicates an attempt to load an invalid
              program.  eBPF programs can be deemed invalid due to
              unrecognized instructions, the use of reserved fields,
              jumps out of range, infinite loops or calls of unknown
              functions.

       ENOENT For BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM or BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, indicates
              that the element with the given key was not found.

       ENOMEM Cannot allocate sufficient memory.

       EPERM  The call was made without sufficient privilege (without
              the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).

VERSIONS         top

       The bpf() system call first appeared in Linux 3.18.

CONFORMING TO         top

       The bpf() system call is Linux-specific.

NOTES         top

       Prior to Linux 4.4, all bpf() commands require the caller to have
       the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.  From Linux 4.4 onwards, an
       unprivileged user may create limited programs of type
       BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER and associated maps.  However they
       may not store kernel pointers within the maps and are presently
       limited to the following helper functions:

       *  get_random
       *  get_smp_processor_id
       *  tail_call
       *  ktime_get_ns

       Unprivileged access may be blocked by writing the value 1 to the
       file /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled.

       eBPF objects (maps and programs) can be shared between processes.
       For example, after fork(2), the child inherits file descriptors
       referring to the same eBPF objects.  In addition, file
       descriptors referring to eBPF objects can be transferred over
       UNIX domain sockets.  File descriptors referring to eBPF objects
       can be duplicated in the usual way, using dup(2) and similar
       calls.  An eBPF object is deallocated only after all file
       descriptors referring to the object have been closed.

       eBPF programs can be written in a restricted C that is compiled
       (using the clang compiler) into eBPF bytecode.  Various features
       are omitted from this restricted C, such as loops, global
       variables, variadic functions, floating-point numbers, and
       passing structures as function arguments.  Some examples can be
       found in the samples/bpf/*_kern.c files in the kernel source
       tree.

       The kernel contains a just-in-time (JIT) compiler that translates
       eBPF bytecode into native machine code for better performance.
       In kernels before Linux 4.15, the JIT compiler is disabled by
       default, but its operation can be controlled by writing one of
       the following integer strings to the file
       /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable:

       0  Disable JIT compilation (default).

       1  Normal compilation.

       2  Debugging mode.  The generated opcodes are dumped in
          hexadecimal into the kernel log.  These opcodes can then be
          disassembled using the program tools/net/bpf_jit_disasm.c
          provided in the kernel source tree.

       Since Linux 4.15, the kernel may configured with the
       CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON option.  In this case, the JIT compiler
       is always enabled, and the bpf_jit_enable is initialized to 1 and
       is immutable.  (This kernel configuration option was provided as
       a mitigation for one of the Spectre attacks against the BPF
       interpreter.)

       The JIT compiler for eBPF is currently available for the
       following architectures:
