Is there a reason why map.increment() internally copies the key into a stack variable? When building a key inline, it uses double the stack space and incurs the cost of a copy. For u64 keys this is fine but for larger custom keys, e.g. containing a char[] it blows up the stack pretty quickly.

Thanks, Donald.

1. How do I attach `BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS`/`classifier` BPF programs to specific data path(i.e. ingress or egress) using libbpf ?

libbpf does not yet support attaching to TC hooks, but there is work in
progress to add this. See
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210325120020.236504-4-memxor@gmail.com/

(an updated version should hopefully show up soon).

I found some comments related in the source:
```
The **BPF_F_INGRESS** value in *flags* is used to make the distinction (ingress path is selected if the flag is present, egress path otherwise).
```

How can I get that flag, am I missing something ?

2. How do I attach `XDP` BPF programs using specific mode(i.e.
xdpgeneric/xdpdrv)?

Just set XDP_FLAGS_SKB_MODE or XDP_FLAGS_DRV_MODE when attaching...

Thanks for your help with this - and for the sketch of how to proceed with it.

I'm going to look into the feasibility of fixing the frame pointer in the trampoline before attempting what you have outlined.

Cheers!

I briefly looked at the perf and kernel code and experimented with
perf dwarf mode.
It is possible for bpf to copy user stack to user space. You could do
the following:
- when you do perf event open, the sample_type needs to be set
properly. The following
is what callchain dwarf mode had:
sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_IP|PERF_SAMPLE_TID|PERF_SAMPLE_TIME|
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR|PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN|PERF_SAMPLE_CPU|
PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD|PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER|
PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER|PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC

I do not think you need all of them, you definitely need PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER,
maybe you can PERF_SAMPLE_RAW and PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER
to see whether it works or not.

In kernel header file linux:include/linux/perf_event.h, we have
struct perf_sample_data {
...
struct perf_regs regs_user;
struct perf_regs regs_intr;
u64 stack_user_size;
}

If you have access to perf_sample_data, you can read regs_user and find
stack pointer and then you can copy some bytes (say 2KB) to user space
for analysis. Using perf_event_output may be too expensive. perf is using
user mmap memory. You can also use a map for this purpose.

How to access perf_sample_data?
Typically sampling bpf program has the signature like
int do_sample(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx)
During program run, the program really got the following ctx
struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern {
bpf_user_pt_regs_t *regs;
struct perf_sample_data *data;
struct perf_event *event;
};
So you can use bpf_probe_read_kernel() to get 'data' and then other
information inside perf_sample_data.

You can experiment this way if you really like to see whether it can
solve your problem or not. If it works, I guess we can add a bpf helper
to do the copy as such copy length tends to be big.

I'm still seeing these allocation traces with only two frames per the below.

I suspect the lower frame above is a libffi generated trampoline. Are there any known issues with the eBPF stack tracing infrastructure and such trampolines? Workarounds?

The bpf stack unwinder is using the kernel one which is the frame
pointer based and it may have issues with generated trampoline code
which may mess up frame pointer based stack chain. One possibility is
to use perf call-graph "dwarf" mode to get the raw data to user space
and use more powerful library like libunwind etc. to unwind the stack.
But I haven't do this together with bpf program yet, and cannot

The file perf-18047.map is there and from other parts of the stack trace I can see it being used to successfully resolve symbols.

I have no experience with perf-map-agent, but the following is what I guess:
[perf-18047.map] is used to find the mapping between address and symbol.
What does '[unknown] [perf-18047.map]' mean? Does this mean

I still digging into this issue, and have hacked memleak/bcc to show addresses when they cant be resolved. In other places, I'm seeing jit complied java stack frames showing up alongside C ones, which is the expected behaviour when using Java with -XX:+PreserveFramePointer.

I'm still seeing these allocation traces with only two frames per the below.

11534336 bytes in 11 allocations from stack
[7efeebb115d4 unknown] [jna7632521838566054573.tmp ]
[7efec27f7440 unknown] [perf-15445.map]
14680064 bytes in 14 allocations from stack
[7efeebb115d4 unknown] [jna7632521838566054573.tmp ]
[7efec27f7380 unknown] [perf-15445.map]

I suspect the lower frame above is a libffi generated trampoline. Are there any known issues with the eBPF stack tracing infrastructure and such trampolines? Workarounds?

Thanks,
Bradley

The file perf-18047.map is there and from other parts of the stack trace I can see it being used to successfully resolve symbols.

Thanks!

I have no experience with perf-map-agent, but the following is what I guess:
[perf-18047.map] is used to find the mapping between address and symbol.
What does '[unknown] [perf-18047.map]' mean? Does this mean
perf-18047.map is not found? If the perf-<pid>.map file cannot be found,
symbolization won't be possible. Maybe you want to double check this?

What does '[unknown] [perf-18047.map]' mean? Does this mean
perf-18047.map is not found? If the perf-<pid>.map file cannot be found,
symbolization won't be possible. Maybe you want to double check this?

The file perf-18047.map is there and from other parts of the stack trace I can see it being used to successfully resolve symbols.

Thanks!

No improvement in granularity though.

In the VM I'm using -XX:+PreserveFramePointer -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+DebugNonSafepoints. In perf_maps_agent, I'm using "unfoldall"

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I can see the file has been marked as deleted.

34603008 bytes in 33 allocations from stack

[unknown] [jna9005484735610534564.tmp (deleted)]

[unknown] [perf-31566.map]

96468992 bytes in 92 allocations from stack

[unknown] [jna9005484735610534564.tmp (deleted)]

[unknown] [perf-31566.map]

So the file has been removed in userspace and current bcc won't be
pass to parse it since it takes the file name as
"jna9005484735610534564.tmp (deleted)"
The file name is actually taken from /proc/<pid>/maps.

I am not sure whether you can hack to parse "jna9005484735610534564.tmp" or not.
But I would consider it is unsafe to do that as the original file
related info may just
exist in kernel and there is a reference to it. For user space, it is
either gone or
could be replaced by something else. So the safest way is to find a place to
do symbolization before file is gone or keep tmp file a little bit longer.

We are pleased to announce the Call for Proposals (CFP) for the Networking and
BPF track at the 2021 edition of the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), which is
planned to be held in Dublin, Ireland, on September 27th - 29th, 2021.

Note that if an in-person conference should prove to be impossible due to the
circumstances at that time, Linux Plumbers will switch to a virtual-only
conference. CFP submitters should ideally be able to give their presentation
in person, if circumstances permit, although presenting remotely will always
be possible.

This year's Networking and BPF track technical committee is comprised of:

David S. Miller <davem@...>
Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...>
Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...>
Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...>
Daniel Borkmann <daniel@...>
Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@...>

We are seeking proposals of 40 minutes in length (including Q&A discussion),
optionally accompanied by papers of 2 to 10 pages in length.

Any kind of advanced Linux networking and/or BPF related topic will be considered.

Please submit your proposals through the official LPC website at:

https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/11/abstracts/

Make sure to select "Networking & BPF Summit" in the Track pull-down menu.

Proposals must be submitted by August 13th, and submitters will be notified of
acceptance by August 16th.

Final slides and papers (as PDF) are due on the first day of the conference.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a tunable to keep the JNI shared library in memory after loading. As you can see below, it is no longer showing as deleted.

13238272 bytes in 404 allocations from stack
[unknown] [jna2576903844543447777.tmp]
[unknown] [perf-18047.map]

No improvement in granularity though.

In the VM I'm using -XX:+PreserveFramePointer -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+DebugNonSafepoints. In perf_maps_agent, I'm using "unfoldall"

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I can see the file has been marked as deleted.

34603008 bytes in 33 allocations from stack

[unknown] [perf-31566.map]

96468992 bytes in 92 allocations from stack

[unknown] [jna9005484735610534564.tmp (deleted)]

[unknown] [perf-31566.map]

So the file has been removed in userspace and current bcc won't be
pass to parse it since it takes the file name as
"jna9005484735610534564.tmp (deleted)"
The file name is actually taken from /proc/<pid>/maps.

I am not sure whether you can hack to parse "jna9005484735610534564.tmp" or not.
But I would consider it is unsafe to do that as the original file
related info may just
exist in kernel and there is a reference to it. For user space, it is
either gone or
could be replaced by something else. So the safest way is to find a place to
do symbolization before file is gone or keep tmp file a little bit longer.

Hi,



I’m just starting to come to grips with bcc & perf-map-agent for introspecting java on linux, with the goal of identifying what appears to be an off-heap memory leak (using memleak).



I appear to be getting reliable stack decoding for jvm library code and for jit’ed java methods (see below for an example of the former). However I am seeing some very short stack traces which don’t seem to decode (the latter three stacks of below).



It’s looking to me like the frame starting with “jna…” is likely the native JNI shared library for the FFI library “JNA”.



Any suggestions as to why these latter three are so brief and/or how I can increase the resolution?

Hi, when I looked into the runqlen script yesterday, I found that,
sadly, I misunderstood the "queue length" all the time not only the
"length" part but also the "queue" part.

Could you file an "issue" for the question? This issue, the
questions/answers can be easily tracked.

Queue
=====
Only CFS runqueues are taken into account. This makes sense when
main workloads are all under CFS scheduler, which is common in
cloud scenario. But what I don't quite follow is that the selected
queue is task->se.cfs_rq which is from a task view, rather than the
top level cfs_rq from a cpu view. I suppose the task view is not
enough to draw the whole picture of saturation?

Length
======
Within this scope length means the number of schedulable entities,
that is cfs_rq->nr_running. From time sharing point of view, it is
OK because it represents how many units involved in scheduling of
this cfs_rq. But what about from execution point of view in which
the number of tasks (cfs_rq->h_nr_running) will be used?

And besides the above, without the shares information of each entity,
how could runqlen help us optimizing the performance? Maybe we should
always focus on occupancy rather than length?

There are some answers in this issue:
https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/3093
To be accurate for cgroup/task-group environments, you may
need to traverse to the root. Could you check and experiment
whether this can solve your issue? if this is the case, we may
need to enhance runqlen.py. Maybe you could help provide
a pull request? Thanks!

Loop is forbidden in BPF programs (although bounded loop is
supported from linux-5.3, tracking down to NULL se->parent is
un-bounded). Maybe it's worth trying to get the definition of
struct rq? I will PR if made some progress.

Thanks,
Abel

It would be very much appreciated if someone can shed some light.

Thanks & Best regards,
Abel

Hi,
the virtual function you are looking for is perf_submit_skb():

Strangely it is not documented in the reference guide.

Thanks, Federico and others. Maybe one of you can add it to the
reference_guide.md? We
do have events.perf_submit there. Thanks!

Hi!
Is it possible to pass full ethernet packet from XDP to user-mode app
using BCC?
I wrote C code like this:
BPF_PERF_OUTPUT(captured_data);
capture(struct xdp_md *ctx)
{
events.perf_submit(ctx, ...);
}
But there is no flags argument in perf_submit function (but
bpf_perf_event_output has such argument).
Without BCC I can write such code to pass full packet to user-mode:
struct packet_info
{
uint32_t packet_len;
uint32_t iface_id;
};
struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") captured_data =
{
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
.key_size = sizeof(u32),
.value_size = sizeof(u32),
.max_entries = MAX_CPUS
};
SEC("xdp")
int capture_kern(struct xdp_md *ctx)
{
u32 len = ctx->data_end - ctx->data;
u64 flags = BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU;
flags |= (u64)len << 32;
struct packet_info info = {len, ctx->ingress_ifindex};
bpf_perf_event_output(ctx, &captured_data, flags, &info, sizeof(info));
return XDP_PASS;
}
How can I do the same when using BCC?
