BPF is used quite intensively inside Linux (and BSD) kernels
for various different purposes and proved to be extremely useful.
BPF inside DPDK might also be used in a lot of places
for a lot of similar things.
As an example to:
- packet filtering/tracing (aka tcpdump)
- packet classification
- statistics collection
- HW/PMD live-system debugging/prototyping - trace HW descriptors,
internal PMD SW state, etc.
- Comeup with your own idea
All of that in a dynamic, user-defined and extensible manner.
So these series introduce new library - librte_bpf.
librte_bpf provides API to load and execute BPF bytecode within
user-space dpdk app.
It supports basic set of features from eBPF spec.
Also it introduces basic framework to load/unload BPF-based filters
on eth devices (right now via SW RX/TX callbacks).
How to try it:
===============
1) run testpmd as usual and start your favorite forwarding case.
2) build bpf program you'd like to load
(you'll need clang v3.7 or above):
$ cd test/bpf
$ clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
3) load bpf program(s):
testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx <portid> <queueid> <load-flags> <bpf-prog-filename>
<load-flags>: [-][J][M]
J - use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
M - assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf,
otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
Few examples:
# to load (not JITed) dummy.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/dummy.o
#to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t1.o
#to load and JIT t3.o (note that it expects mbuf as an input):
testpmd> bpf-load rx 2 0 JM ./dpdk.org/test/bpf/t3.o
4) observe changed traffic behavior
Let say with the examples above:
- dummy.o does literally nothing, so no changes should be here,
except some possible slowdown.
- t1.o - should force to drop all packets that doesn't match:
'dst 1.2.3.4 && udp && dst port 5000' filter.
- t3.o - should dump to stdout ARP packets.
5) unload some or all bpf programs:
testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
6) continue with step 3) or exit
Not currently supported features:
=================================
- cBPF
- tail-pointer call
- eBPF MAP
- JIT for non X86_64 targets
- skb
v2:
- add meson build
- add freebsd build
- use new logging API
- using rte_malloc() for cbi allocation
- add extra logic into bpf_validate()
v3:
- add new test-case for it
- update docs
- update MAINTAINERS
