Currently the syscalls rst and subsequently man page are auto-generated
using function documentation present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the
syscall is missing or doesn't follow a specific format, then that syscall
is not dumped in the auto-generated rst.
This patch checks the number of syscalls documented within the header file
with those present as part of the enum bpf_cmd and raises an Exception if
they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented upstream
syscalls, but can help in debugging when developing new syscalls when
there might be missing or misformatted documentation.
The function helper_number_check is moved to the Printer parent
class and renamed to elem_number_check as all the most derived children
classes are using this function now.

Currently bpf_helper_defs.h and the bpf helpers man page are auto-generated
using function documentation present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the
helper is missing or doesn't follow a specific format for e.g. if a function
is documented as:
* long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name( const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res )
instead of
* long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name(const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res)
(notice the extra space at the start and end of function arguments)
then that helper is not dumped in the auto-generated header and results in
an invalid call during eBPF runtime, even if all the code specific to the
helper is correct.
This patch checks the number of functions documented within the header file
with those present as part of #define __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and raises an
Exception if they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented
upstream functions, but can help in debugging when developing new helpers
when there might be missing or misformatted documentation.

The helper is used in tracing programs to cast a socket
pointer to a unix_sock pointer.
The return value could be NULL if the casting is illegal.

Introduce 'struct bpf_timer { __u64 :64; __u64 :64; };' that can be embedded
in hash/array/lru maps as a regular field and helpers to operate on it:
// Initialize the timer.
// First 4 bits of 'flags' specify clockid.
// Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME are allowed.
long bpf_timer_init(struct bpf_timer *timer, struct bpf_map *map, int flags);
// Configure the timer to call 'callback_fn' static function.
long bpf_timer_set_callback(struct bpf_timer *timer, void *callback_fn);
// Arm the timer to expire 'nsec' nanoseconds from the current time.
long bpf_timer_start(struct bpf_timer *timer, u64 nsec, u64 flags);
// Cancel the timer and wait for callback_fn to finish if it was running.
long bpf_timer_cancel(struct bpf_timer *timer);
Here is how BPF program might look like:
struct map_elem {
int counter;
struct bpf_timer timer;
};
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH);
__uint(max_entries, 1000);
__type(key, int);
__type(value, struct map_elem);
} hmap SEC(".maps");
static int timer_cb(void *map, int *key, struct map_elem *val);
/* val points to particular map element that contains bpf_timer. */
SEC("fentry/bpf_fentry_test1")
int BPF_PROG(test1, int a)
{
struct map_elem *val;
int key = 0;
val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&hmap, &key);
if (val) {
bpf_timer_init(&val->timer, &hmap, CLOCK_REALTIME);
bpf_timer_set_callback(&val->timer, timer_cb);
bpf_timer_start(&val->timer, 1000 /* call timer_cb2 in 1 usec */, 0);
}
}
This patch adds helper implementations that rely on hrtimers
to call bpf functions as timers expire.
The following patches add necessary safety checks.
Only programs with CAP_BPF are allowed to use bpf_timer.
The amount of timers used by the program is constrained by
the memcg recorded at map creation time.
The bpf_timer_init() helper needs explicit 'map' argument because inner maps
are dynamic and not known at load time. While the bpf_timer_set_callback() is
receiving hidden 'aux->prog' argument supplied by the verifier.
The prog pointer is needed to do refcnting of bpf program to make sure that
program doesn't get freed while the timer is armed. This approach relies on
"user refcnt" scheme used in prog_array that stores bpf programs for
bpf_tail_call. The bpf_timer_set_callback() will increment the prog refcnt which is
paired with bpf_timer_cancel() that will drop the prog refcnt. The
ops->map_release_uref is responsible for cancelling the timers and dropping
prog refcnt when user space reference to a map reaches zero.
This uref approach is done to make sure that Ctrl-C of user space process will
not leave timers running forever unless the user space explicitly pinned a map
that contained timers in bpffs.
bpf_timer_init() and bpf_timer_set_callback() will return -EPERM if map doesn't
have user references (is not held by open file descriptor from user space and
not pinned in bpffs).
The bpf_map_delete_elem() and bpf_map_update_elem() operations cancel
and free the timer if given map element had it allocated.
"bpftool map update" command can be used to cancel timers.
The 'struct bpf_timer' is explicitly __attribute__((aligned(8))) because
'__u64 :64' has 1 byte alignment of 8 byte padding.

Add a new target to bpf_doc.py to support generating the list of syscall
commands directly from the UAPI headers. Assuming that developer
submissions keep the main header up to date, this should allow the man
pages to be automatically generated based on the latest API changes
rather than requiring someone to separately go back through the API and
describe each command.
