hid: bpf: hid_bpf_helpers: add helper for having read/write udev properties
We want udev-hid-bpf to be able to set udev properties by printing them out after the BPF object has been loaded. This allows to make a query to the device, and set a udev prop based on the answer. Because the way udev works, the properties are cleared on bind/unbind, and we need a way to store them. After several attempts to keep the property alive without re-running the udev-hid-bpf tool to communicate with the device, it came out that HID-BPF maps are pinned in the bpffs and we can then query them. So the following would export a UDEV property in the bpffs: EXPORT_UDEV_PROP(HID_FOO, 32); SEC("syscall") int probe(struct hid_bpf_probe_args *ctx) { const char *foo = "foo"; UDEV_PROP_SPRINTF(HID_FOO, "%s", foo); return 0; } Then, we can debug it with a simple cat: sudo cat /sys/fs/bpf/hid/.../UDEV_PROP_HID_FOO 0: {['f','o','o',],} This way, the property is always accessible without talking to the device Link: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/udev-hid-bpf/-/merge_requests/220 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <bentiss@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.com>

+ * The following macros are helpers for exporting udev properties:

+ * EXPORT_UDEV_PROP(name, len) generates:
+ * - a map with a single element UDEV_PROP_##name, of size len
+ * - a const global declaration of that len: SIZEOF_##name
+ *
+ * udev_prop_ptr(name) retrieves the data pointer behind the map.
+ *
+ * UDEV_PROP_SPRINTF(name, fmt, ...) writes data into the udev property.
+ *
+ * Can be used as such:

+ * SEC("syscall")
+ * int probe(struct hid_bpf_probe_args *ctx)
+ * {
