It will create a shadow type pointer in a skeleton for each struct_ops map, allowing users to access the values of fields through these pointers. For instance, if there is an integer field named "FOO" in a struct_ops map called "testmap", you can access the value of "FOO" in this way. skel->struct_ops.testmap->FOO = 13; With this feature, the users can pass flags or other data along with the map from the user space to the kernel without creating separate struct_ops map for different values in BPF. == Shadow Type == The shadow type of a struct_ops map is a variant of the original struct type of the map. The code generator translates each field in the original struct type to a field in the shadow type. The type of a field in the shadow type may not be the same as the corresponding field in the original struct type. For example, modifiers like volatile, const, etc., are removed from the fields in a shadow type. Function pointers are translated to pointers of struct bpf_program. Currently, only scalar types and function pointers are supported. Fields belonging to structs, unions, non-function pointers, arrays, or other types are not supported. For those unsupported fields, they are converted to arrays of characters to preserve their space within the original struct type. The padding between consecutive fields is handled by padding fields (__padding_*). This helps to maintain the memory layout consistent with the original struct_type. Here is an example of shadow types. The origin struct type of a struct_ops map is struct bpf_testmod_ops { int (*test_1)(void); void (*test_2)(int a, int b); /* Used to test nullable arguments. */ int (*test_maybe_null)(int dummy, struct task_struct *task); /* The following fields are used to test shadow copies. */ char onebyte; struct { int a; int b; } unsupported; int data; }; The struct_ops map, named testmod_1, of this type will be translated to a pointer in the shadow type. struct { struct { const struct bpf_program *test_1; const struct bpf_program *test_2; const struct bpf_program *test_maybe_null; char onebyte; char __padding_3[3]; char __padding_4[8]; int data; } *testmod_1; } struct_ops; == Convert st_ops->data to Shadow Type == libbpf converts st_ops->data to the format of the shadow type for each struct_ops map. This means that the bytes where function pointers are located are converted to the values of the pointers of struct bpf_program. The fields of other types are kept as they were. Libbpf will synchronize the pointers of struct bpf_program with st_ops->progs[] so that users can change function pointers (bpf_program) before loading the map. --- Changes from v3: - Add comment to avoid people from removing resolve_func_ptr() from libbpf_internal.h - Fix commit logs and comments. - Add an example about using the pointers of shadow types for struct_ops maps to bpftool-gen.8. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240221012329.1387275-1-thinker.li@gmail.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240214020836.1845354-1-thinker.li@gmail.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240124224130.859921-1-thinker.li@gmail.com/ Kui-Feng Lee (6): libbpf: expose resolve_func_ptr() through libbpf_internal.h. libbpf: set btf_value_type_id of struct bpf_map for struct_ops. libbpf: Convert st_ops->data to shadow type. bpftool: generated shadow variables for struct_ops maps. bpftool: Add an example for struct_ops map and shadow type. selftests/bpf: Test if shadow types work correctly. .../bpf/bpftool/Documentation/bpftool-gen.rst | 58 ++++- tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c | 235 +++++++++++++++++- tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c | 60 ++++- tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_internal.h | 2 + .../selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/bpf_testmod.c | 11 +- .../selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/bpf_testmod.h | 8 + .../bpf/prog_tests/test_struct_ops_module.c | 19 +- .../selftests/bpf/progs/struct_ops_module.c | 8 + 8 files changed, 387 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1
