DESCRIPTION
|
===========
|
**bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
|
Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
|
specified show information only about given programs,
|
otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system.
|
In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
|
programs which will all be shown.
|
|
Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
|
zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
|
|
Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
|
programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
|
and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
|
shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
|
them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
|
program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
|
performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
|
|
Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
|
processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
|
programs. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
|
information as well.
|
|
**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
|
Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By
|
default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
|
output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
|
controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
|
|
In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
|
programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or
|
**visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program.
|
|
If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
|
written to *FILE*.
|
|
If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
|
built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
|
CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
|
|
If the programs have line_info available, the source line will
|
be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
|
the filename, line number and line column will also be
|
displayed on top of the source line.
|
|
**bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
|
Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
|
|
If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
|
otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
|
*PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified.
|
|
**opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
|
|
If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
|
be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
|
the filename, line number and line column will also be
|
displayed on top of the source line.
|
|
**bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
|
Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
|
|
Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
|
contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
|
extensions of *bpffs*.
|
|
**bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
|
Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
|
**bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
|
*OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
|
from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
|
**type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
|
inferred from section names.
|
By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
|
object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse
|
of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each
|
time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map
|
to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
|
allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to
|
use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
|
If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
|
given networking device (offload).
|
Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
|
maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
|
|
Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
|
contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
|
extensions of *bpffs*.
|
|
**bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
|
Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
|
*ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
|
parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
|
attached to current networking name space.
|
|
**bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
|
Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
|
*ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
|
parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
|
detached from the current networking name space.
|
|
**bpftool prog tracelog**
|
Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
|
Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
|
trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper.
|
This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
|
streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
|
perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
|
|
**bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
|
Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
|
for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
|
context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
|
monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
|
test run are printed out to the console.
|
|
Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
|
If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
|
input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
|
**ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
|
input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
|
input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
|
data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
|
written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
|
output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
|
output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
|
passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
|
context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
|
**ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
|
output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
|
should be more than enough for most cases.
|
|
Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
|
consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
|
context printed to files correspond to the last of those
|
runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
|
average over all runs performed by the command.
|
|
Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
|
not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
|
arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
|
|
**bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs*
|
Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION*
|
seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional.
|
If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to
|
**UINT_MAX** seconds.
|
|
**bpftool prog help**
|
Print short help message.
