<title>bpftool: Specify XDP Hints ifname when loading program</title>

<id>f46392ee3dec24066e5fb260d9bd497b4cd4d191</id>
<content type='text'>
Add ability to specify a network interface used to resolve XDP hints
kfuncs when loading program through bpftool.

Usage:

  bpftool prog load [...] xdpmeta_dev &lt;ifname&gt;

Writing just 'dev &lt;ifname&gt;' instead of 'xdpmeta_dev' is a very probable
mistake that results in not very descriptive errors,
so 'bpftool prog load [...] dev &lt;ifname&gt;' syntax becomes deprecated,
followed by 'bpftool map create [...] dev &lt;ifname&gt;' for consistency.

Now, to offload program, execute:

  bpftool prog load [...] offload_dev &lt;ifname&gt;

To offload map:

  bpftool map create [...] offload_dev &lt;ifname&gt;

'dev &lt;ifname&gt;' still performs offloading in the commands above, but now
triggers a warning and is excluded from bash completion.

'xdpmeta_dev' and 'offload_dev' are mutually exclusive options, because
'xdpmeta_dev' basically makes a program device-bound without loading it
onto the said device. For now, offloaded programs cannot use XDP hints [0],
but if this changes, using 'offload_dev &lt;ifname&gt;' should cover this case.

<title>bpftool: Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link info</title>

The target_btf_id can help us understand which kernel function is
linked by a tracing prog. The target_btf_id and target_obj_id have
already been exposed to userspace, so we just need to show them.

The result as follows,

$ tools/bpf/bpftool/bpftool link show
2: tracing  prog 13
        prog_type tracing  attach_type trace_fentry
        target_obj_id 1  target_btf_id 13964

<title>bpftool: Support bpffs mountpoint as pin path for prog loadall</title>

Currently, when using prog loadall and the pin path is a bpffs mountpoint,
bpffs will be repeatedly mounted to the parent directory of the bpffs
mountpoint path. For example, a `bpftool prog loadall test.o /sys/fs/bpf`
will trigger this.

On aarch64, "bpftool feature" reports an incorrect BPF JIT limit:

JIT compiler hardening is disabled
JIT compiler kallsyms exports are enabled for root

...and an int is assumed in read_procfs().  Change read_procfs()

<title>bpftool: Dump map id instead of value for map_of_maps types</title>

<content type='text'>
When using `bpftool map dump` with map_of_maps, it is usually
more convenient to show the inner map id instead of raw value.

We are changing the plain print behavior to show inner_map_id
instead of hex value, this would help with quick look up of
inner map with `bpftool map dump id &lt;inner_map_id&gt;`.
To avoid disrupting scripted behavior, we will add a new
`inner_map_id` field to json output instead of replacing value.

plain print:
```
$ bpftool map dump id 138

Without Patch:
key:
fc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05
27 16 06 00
value:
8b 00 00 00

With Patch:
key:
fc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05
27 16 06 00
inner_map_id:
139
Found 1 element
```

json print:
```
$ bpftool -p map dump id 567

A new link type, BPF_LINK_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS, was added to attach
struct_ops to links. (226bc6ae6405) It would be helpful for users to
know which map is associated with the link.

The assumption was that every link is associated with a BPF program, but
this does not hold true for struct_ops. It would be better to display
map_id instead of prog_id for struct_ops links. However, some tools may
rely on the old assumption and need a prog_id.  The discussion on the
mailing list suggests that tools should parse JSON format. We will maintain
the existing JSON format by adding a map_id without removing prog_id. As
for plain text format, we will remove prog_id from the header line and add
a map_id for struct_ops links.

Dump protocol family, hook and priority value:
$ bpftool link
2: netfilter  prog 14
        ip input prio -128
        pids install(3264)
5: netfilter  prog 14
        ip6 forward prio 21
        pids a.out(3387)
9: netfilter  prog 14
        ip prerouting prio 123

10: netfilter  prog 14
        ip input prio 21
        pids test2(5701)

v2: Quentin Monnet suggested to also add 'bpftool net' support:

$ bpftool net
xdp:

tc:

flow_dissector:

netfilter:

        ip prerouting prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip input prio -128 prog_id 14
        ip input prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip forward prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip output prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip postrouting prio 21 prog_id 14

'bpftool net' only dumps netfilter link type, links are sorted by protocol
family, hook and priority.

v5: fix bpf ci failure: libbpf needs small update to prog_type_name[]
    and probe_prog_load helper.
v4: don't fail with -EOPNOTSUPP in libbpf probe_prog_load, update
    prog_type_name[] with "netfilter" entry (bpf ci)
v3: fix bpf.h copy, 'reserved' member was removed (Alexei)
    use p_err, not fprintf (Quentin)

        ip input prio 21
        pids test2(5701)

v2: Quentin Monnet suggested to also add 'bpftool net' support:

$ bpftool net
xdp:

tc:

flow_dissector:

netfilter:

        ip prerouting prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip input prio -128 prog_id 14
        ip input prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip forward prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip output prio 21 prog_id 14
        ip postrouting prio 21 prog_id 14

'bpftool net' only dumps netfilter link type, links are sorted by protocol
family, hook and priority.

v5: fix bpf ci failure: libbpf needs small update to prog_type_name[]
    and probe_prog_load helper.
v4: don't fail with -EOPNOTSUPP in libbpf probe_prog_load, update
    prog_type_name[] with "netfilter" entry (bpf ci)
v3: fix bpf.h copy, 'reserved' member was removed (Alexei)
    use p_err, not fprintf (Quentin)

The "struct_ops register" subcommand now allows for an optional *LINK_DIR*
to be included. This specifies the directory path where bpftool will pin
struct_ops links with the same name as their corresponding map names.

<title>bpftool: Register struct_ops with a link.</title>

You can include an optional path after specifying the object name for the
'struct_ops register' subcommand.

Since the commit 226bc6ae6405 ("Merge branch 'Transit between BPF TCP
congestion controls.'") has been accepted, it is now possible to create a
link for a struct_ops. This can be done by defining a struct_ops in
SEC(".struct_ops.link") to make libbpf returns a real link. If we don't pin
the links before leaving bpftool, they will disappear. To instruct bpftool
to pin the links in a directory with the names of the maps, we need to
provide the path of that directory.

<title>bpftool: Replace "__fallthrough" by a comment to address merge conflict</title>

<content type='text'>
The recent support for inline annotations in control flow graphs
generated by bpftool introduced the usage of the "__fallthrough" macro
in a switch/case block in btf_dumper.c. This change went through the
bpf-next tree, but resulted in a merge conflict in linux-next, because
this macro has been renamed "fallthrough" (no underscores) in the
meantime.

To address the conflict, we temporarily switch to a simple comment
instead of a macro.

Related: commit f7a858bffcdd ("tools: Rename __fallthrough to fallthrough")

Fixes: 9fd496848b1c ("bpftool: Support inline annotations when dumping the CFG of a program")
