pull-request: bpf-next 2018-08-13
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add driver XDP support for veth. This can be used in conjunction with
redirect of another XDP program e.g. sitting on NIC so the xdp_frame
can be forwarded to the peer veth directly without modification,
from Toshiaki.
2) Add a new BPF map type REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY and prog type SK_REUSEPORT
in order to provide more control and visibility on where a SO_REUSEPORT
sk should be located, and the latter enables to directly select a sk
from the bpf map. This also enables map-in-map for application migration
use cases, from Martin.
3) Add a new BPF helper bpf_skb_ancestor_cgroup_id() that returns the id
of cgroup v2 that is the ancestor of the cgroup associated with the
skb at the ancestor_level, from Andrey.
4) Implement BPF fs map pretty-print support based on BTF data for regular
hash table and LRU map, from Yonghong.
5) Decouple the ability to attach BTF for a map from the key and value
pretty-printer in BPF fs, and enable further support of BTF for maps for
percpu and LPM trie, from Daniel.
6) Implement a better BPF sample of using XDP's CPU redirect feature for
load balancing SKB processing to remote CPU. The sample implements the
same XDP load balancing as Suricata does which is symmetric hash based
on IP and L4 protocol, from Jesper.
7) Revert adding NULL pointer check with WARN_ON_ONCE() in __xdp_return()'s
critical path as it is ensured that the allocator is present, from Björn.

eBPF sample programs
====================
This directory contains a test stubs, verifier test-suite and examples
for using eBPF. The examples use libbpf from tools/lib/bpf.
Build dependencies
==================
Compiling requires having installed:
* clang >= version 3.4.0
* llvm >= version 3.7.1
Note that LLVM's tool 'llc' must support target 'bpf', list version
and supported targets with command: ``llc --version``
Kernel headers
--------------
There are usually dependencies to header files of the current kernel.
To avoid installing devel kernel headers system wide, as a normal
user, simply call::
make headers_install
This will creates a local "usr/include" directory in the git/build top
level directory, that the make system automatically pickup first.
Compiling
=========
For building the BPF samples, issue the below command from the kernel
top level directory::
make samples/bpf/
Do notice the "/" slash after the directory name.
It is also possible to call make from this directory. This will just
hide the the invocation of make as above with the appended "/".
Manually compiling LLVM with 'bpf' support
------------------------------------------
Since version 3.7.0, LLVM adds a proper LLVM backend target for the
BPF bytecode architecture.
By default llvm will build all non-experimental backends including bpf.
To generate a smaller llc binary one can use::
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF"
Quick sniplet for manually compiling LLVM and clang
(build dependencies are cmake and gcc-c++)::
$ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
$ cd llvm/tools
$ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
$ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
$ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86"
$ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
It is also possible to point make to the newly compiled 'llc' or
'clang' command via redefining LLC or CLANG on the make command line::
make samples/bpf/ LLC=~/git/llvm/build/bin/llc CLANG=~/git/llvm/build/bin/clang
Cross compiling samples
-----------------------
In order to cross-compile, say for arm64 targets, export CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH
environment variables before calling make. This will direct make to build
samples for the cross target.
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE="aarch64-linux-gnu-"
make samples/bpf/ LLC=~/git/llvm/build/bin/llc CLANG=~/git/llvm/build/bin/clang
