bpftool: Use simpler indentation in source rST for documentation
The rST manual pages for bpftool would use a mix of tabs and spaces for indentation. While this is the norm in C code, this is rather unusual for rST documents, and over time we've seen many contributors use a wrong level of indentation for documentation update. Let's fix bpftool's indentation in docs once and for all: - Let's use spaces, that are more common in rST files. - Remove one level of indentation for the synopsis, the command description, and the "see also" section. As a result, all sections start with the same indentation level in the generated man page. - Rewrap the paragraphs after the changes. There is no content change in this patch, only indentation and rewrapping changes. The wrapping in the generated source files for the manual pages is changed, but the pages displayed with "man" remain the same, apart from the adjusted indentation level on relevant sections. [ Quentin: rebased on bpf-next, removed indent level for command description and options, updated synopsis, command summary, and "see also" sections. ] Signed-off-by: Rameez Rehman <rameezrehman408@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Quentin Monnet <qmo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240331200346.29118-2-qmo@kernel.org

OPTIONS
=======
- .. include:: common_options.rst
-
- -B, --base-btf *FILE*
- Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used
- with BTF objects for kernel modules. To avoid duplicating
- all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF objects for
- modules are "split", they are built incrementally on top of
- the kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference
- should usually point to the kernel BTF.
-
- When the main BTF object to process (for example, the
- module BTF to dump) is passed as a *FILE*, bpftool attempts
- to autodetect the path for the base object, and passing
- this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed
- through other handles, this option becomes necessary.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool cgroup { show | list }** *CGROUP* [**effective**]
- List all programs attached to the cgroup *CGROUP*.
-
- Output will start with program ID followed by attach type,
- attach flags and program name.
-
- If **effective** is specified retrieve effective programs that
- will execute for events within a cgroup. This includes
- inherited along with attached ones.
-
- **bpftool cgroup tree** [*CGROUP_ROOT*] [**effective**]
- Iterate over all cgroups in *CGROUP_ROOT* and list all
- attached programs. If *CGROUP_ROOT* is not specified,
- bpftool uses cgroup v2 mountpoint.
-
- The output is similar to the output of cgroup show/list
- commands: it starts with absolute cgroup path, followed by
- program ID, attach type, attach flags and program name.
-
- If **effective** is specified retrieve effective programs that
- will execute for events within a cgroup. This includes
- inherited along with attached ones.
-
- **bpftool cgroup attach** *CGROUP* *ATTACH_TYPE* *PROG* [*ATTACH_FLAGS*]
- Attach program *PROG* to the cgroup *CGROUP* with attach type

- program; **multi** if a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program,
- that cgroup program gets run in addition to the program in this
- cgroup.
-
- Only one program is allowed to be attached to a cgroup with
- no attach flags or the **override** flag. Attaching another
- program will release old program and attach the new one.
-
- Multiple programs are allowed to be attached to a cgroup with
- **multi**. They are executed in FIFO order (those that were
- attached first, run first).
-
- Non-default *ATTACH_FLAGS* are supported by kernel version 4.14
- and later.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
- Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related
- parameters, such as availability of the **bpf**\ () system call,
- JIT status, eBPF program types availability, eBPF helper
- functions availability, and more.
-
- By default, bpftool **does not run probes** for

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool gen object** *OUTPUT_FILE* *INPUT_FILE* [*INPUT_FILE*...]
- Statically link (combine) together one or more *INPUT_FILE*'s
- into a single resulting *OUTPUT_FILE*. All the files involved
- are BPF ELF object files.
-
- The rules of BPF static linking are mostly the same as for
- user-space object files, but in addition to combining data
- and instruction sections, .BTF and .BTF.ext (if present in
- any of the input files) data are combined together. .BTF
- data is deduplicated, so all the common types across
- *INPUT_FILE*'s will only be represented once in the resulting
- BTF information.
-
- BPF static linking allows to partition BPF source code into
- individually compiled files that are then linked into
- a single resulting BPF object file, which can be used to
- generated BPF skeleton (with **gen skeleton** command) or
- passed directly into **libbpf** (using **bpf_object__open()**
- family of APIs).
-
- **bpftool gen skeleton** *FILE*
- Generate BPF skeleton C header file for a given *FILE*.
-
- BPF skeleton is an alternative interface to existing libbpf
- APIs for working with BPF objects. Skeleton code is intended
- to significantly shorten and simplify code to load and work
- with BPF programs from userspace side. Generated code is
- tailored to specific input BPF object *FILE*, reflecting its
- structure by listing out available maps, program, variables,
- etc. Skeleton eliminates the need to lookup mentioned
- components by name. Instead, if skeleton instantiation
- succeeds, they are populated in skeleton structure as valid
- libbpf types (e.g., **struct bpf_map** pointer) and can be
- passed to existing generic libbpf APIs.
-
- In addition to simple and reliable access to maps and
- programs, skeleton provides a storage for BPF links (**struct
- bpf_link**) for each BPF program within BPF object. When
- requested, supported BPF programs will be automatically
- attached and resulting BPF links stored for further use by
- user in pre-allocated fields in skeleton struct. For BPF
- programs that can't be automatically attached by libbpf,
- user can attach them manually, but store resulting BPF link
- in per-program link field. All such set up links will be
- automatically destroyed on BPF skeleton destruction. This
- eliminates the need for users to manage links manually and
- rely on libbpf support to detach programs and free up
- resources.
-
- Another facility provided by BPF skeleton is an interface to
- global variables of all supported kinds: mutable, read-only,
- as well as extern ones. This interface allows to pre-setup
- initial values of variables before BPF object is loaded and
- verified by kernel. For non-read-only variables, the same
- interface can be used to fetch values of global variables on
- userspace side, even if they are modified by BPF code.
-
- During skeleton generation, contents of source BPF object
- *FILE* is embedded within generated code and is thus not
- necessary to keep around. This ensures skeleton and BPF
- object file are matching 1-to-1 and always stay in sync.
- Generated code is dual-licensed under LGPL-2.1 and
- BSD-2-Clause licenses.
-
- It is a design goal and guarantee that skeleton interfaces
- are interoperable with generic libbpf APIs. User should
- always be able to use skeleton API to create and load BPF
- object, and later use libbpf APIs to keep working with
- specific maps, programs, etc.
-
- As part of skeleton, few custom functions are generated.
- Each of them is prefixed with object name. Object name can
- either be derived from object file name, i.e., if BPF object
- file name is **example.o**, BPF object name will be
- **example**. Object name can be also specified explicitly
- through **name** *OBJECT_NAME* parameter. The following
- custom functions are provided (assuming **example** as
- the object name):
-
- - **example__open** and **example__open_opts**.
- These functions are used to instantiate skeleton. It
- corresponds to libbpf's **bpf_object__open**\ () API.
- **_opts** variants accepts extra **bpf_object_open_opts**
- options.
-
- - **example__load**.
- This function creates maps, loads and verifies BPF
- programs, initializes global data maps. It corresponds to
- libppf's **bpf_object__load**\ () API.
-
- - **example__open_and_load** combines **example__open** and
- **example__load** invocations in one commonly used
- operation.
-
- - **example__attach** and **example__detach**
- This pair of functions allow to attach and detach,
- correspondingly, already loaded BPF object. Only BPF
- programs of types supported by libbpf for auto-attachment
- will be auto-attached and their corresponding BPF links
- instantiated. For other BPF programs, user can manually
- create a BPF link and assign it to corresponding fields in
- skeleton struct. **example__detach** will detach both
- links created automatically, as well as those populated by
- user manually.
-
- - **example__destroy**
- Detach and unload BPF programs, free up all the resources
- used by skeleton and BPF object.
-
- If BPF object has global variables, corresponding structs
- with memory layout corresponding to global data data section
- layout will be created. Currently supported ones are: *.data*,
- *.bss*, *.rodata*, and *.kconfig* structs/data sections.
- These data sections/structs can be used to set up initial
- values of variables, if set before **example__load**.
- Afterwards, if target kernel supports memory-mapped BPF
- arrays, same structs can be used to fetch and update
- (non-read-only) data from userspace, with same simplicity
- as for BPF side.
-
- **bpftool gen subskeleton** *FILE*
- Generate BPF subskeleton C header file for a given *FILE*.
-
- Subskeletons are similar to skeletons, except they do not own
- the corresponding maps, programs, or global variables. They
- require that the object file used to generate them is already
- loaded into a *bpf_object* by some other means.
-
- This functionality is useful when a library is included into a
- larger BPF program. A subskeleton for the library would have
- access to all objects and globals defined in it, without
- having to know about the larger program.
-
- Consequently, there are only two functions defined
- for subskeletons:
-
- - **example__open(bpf_object\*)**
- Instantiates a subskeleton from an already opened (but not
- necessarily loaded) **bpf_object**.
-
- - **example__destroy()**
- Frees the storage for the subskeleton but *does not* unload
- any BPF programs or maps.
-
- **bpftool** **gen min_core_btf** *INPUT* *OUTPUT* *OBJECT* [*OBJECT*...]
- Generate a minimum BTF file as *OUTPUT*, derived from a given
- *INPUT* BTF file, containing all needed BTF types so one, or
- more, given eBPF objects CO-RE relocations may be satisfied.
-
- When kernels aren't compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF,
- libbpf, when loading an eBPF object, has to rely on external
- BTF files to be able to calculate CO-RE relocations.
-
- Usually, an external BTF file is built from existing kernel
- DWARF data using pahole. It contains all the types used by
- its respective kernel image and, because of that, is big.
-
- The min_core_btf feature builds smaller BTF files, customized
- to one or multiple eBPF objects, so they can be distributed
- together with an eBPF CO-RE based application, turning the
- application portable to different kernel versions.
-
- Check examples bellow for more information how to use it.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool net { show | list }** [ **dev** *NAME* ]
- List bpf program attachments in the kernel networking subsystem.
-
- Currently, device driver xdp attachments, tcx, netkit and old-style tc
- classifier/action attachments, flow_dissector as well as netfilter
- attachments are implemented, i.e., for
- program types **BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP**, **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS**,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_ACT**, **BPF_PROG_TYPE_FLOW_DISSECTOR**,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_NETFILTER**.
-
- For programs attached to a particular cgroup, e.g.,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB**, **BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK**,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS** and **BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR**,
- users can use **bpftool cgroup** to dump cgroup attachments.
- For sk_{filter, skb, msg, reuseport} and lwt/seg6
- bpf programs, users should consult other tools, e.g., iproute2.
-
- The current output will start with all xdp program attachments, followed by
- all tcx, netkit, then tc class/qdisc bpf program attachments, then flow_dissector
- and finally netfilter programs. Both xdp programs and tcx/netkit/tc programs are
- ordered based on ifindex number. If multiple bpf programs attached
- to the same networking device through **tc**, the order will be first
- all bpf programs attached to tcx, netkit, then tc classes, then all bpf programs
- attached to non clsact qdiscs, and finally all bpf programs attached
- to root and clsact qdisc.
-
- **bpftool** **net attach** *ATTACH_TYPE* *PROG* **dev** *NAME* [ **overwrite** ]
- Attach bpf program *PROG* to network interface *NAME* with
- type specified by *ATTACH_TYPE*. Previously attached bpf program
- can be replaced by the command used with **overwrite** option.
- Currently, only XDP-related modes are supported for *ATTACH_TYPE*.
-
- *ATTACH_TYPE* can be of:
- **xdp** - try native XDP and fallback to generic XDP if NIC driver does not support it;
- **xdpgeneric** - Generic XDP. runs at generic XDP hook when packet already enters receive path as skb;
- **xdpdrv** - Native XDP. runs earliest point in driver's receive path;
- **xdpoffload** - Offload XDP. runs directly on NIC on each packet reception;
-
- **bpftool** **net detach** *ATTACH_TYPE* **dev** *NAME*
- Detach bpf program attached to network interface *NAME* with
- type specified by *ATTACH_TYPE*. To detach bpf program, same
- *ATTACH_TYPE* previously used for attach must be specified.
- Currently, only XDP-related modes are supported for *ATTACH_TYPE*.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
- Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
- specified show information only about given programs,
- otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system.
- In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
- programs which will all be shown.
-
- Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
- zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
-
- Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
- programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
- and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
- shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
- them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
- program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
- performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
-
- Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
- processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
- programs. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
- information as well.
-
- **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | [**opcodes**] [**linum**] [**visual**] }]
- Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By
- default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
- output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
- controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
-
- In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
- programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or
- **visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program.
-
- If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
- written to *FILE*.
-
- If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
- built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
- CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
-
- If the programs have line_info available, the source line will
- be displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line
- number and line column will also be displayed.
-
- **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | [**opcodes**] [**linum**] }]
- Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
-
- If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
- otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
- *PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified.
-
- **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
-
- If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
- be displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line
- number and line column will also be displayed.
-
- **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
- Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
-
- Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
- contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
- extensions of *bpffs*.
-
- **bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** { **idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME* } *MAP*] [{ **offload_dev** | **xdpmeta_dev** } *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*] [**autoattach**]
- Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
- **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
- *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
- from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
- **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
- inferred from section names.
- By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
- object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse
- of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each
- time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map
- to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
- allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to
- use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
- If **offload_dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded
- onto given networking device (offload).
- If **xdpmeta_dev** *NAME* is specified program will become
- device-bound without offloading, this facilitates access
- to XDP metadata.
- Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
- maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
-
- If **autoattach** is specified program will be attached
- before pin. In that case, only the link (representing the
- program attached to its hook) is pinned, not the program as
- such, so the path won't show in **bpftool prog show -f**,
- only show in **bpftool link show -f**. Also, this only works
- when bpftool (libbpf) is able to infer all necessary
- information from the object file, in particular, it's not
- supported for all program types. If a program does not
- support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
- for that program instead.
-
- Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
- contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
- extensions of *bpffs*.
-
- **bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
- Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
- *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
- parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
- attached to current networking name space.
-
- **bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
- Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
- *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
- parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
- detached from the current networking name space.
-
- **bpftool prog tracelog**
- Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
- Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
- trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper.
- This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
- streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
- perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
-
- **bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
- Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
- for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
- context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
- monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
- test run are printed out to the console.
-
- Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
- If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
- input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
- **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
- input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
- input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
- data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
- written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
- output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
- output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
- passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
- context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
- **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
- output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
- should be more than enough for most cases.
-
- Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
- consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
- context printed to files correspond to the last of those
- runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
- average over all runs performed by the command.
-
- Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
- not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
- arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
-
- **bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs*
- Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION*
- seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional.
- If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to
- **UINT_MAX** seconds.
-
- **bpftool prog help**
- Print short help message.

OPTIONS
=======
- .. include:: common_options.rst
-
- -f, --bpffs
- When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
- programs.
-
- -m, --mapcompat
- Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
-
- -n, --nomount
- Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
- (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
-
- -L, --use-loader
- Load program as a "loader" program. This is useful to debug
- the generation of such programs. When this option is in
- use, bpftool attempts to load the programs from the object
- file into the kernel, but does not pin them (therefore, the
- *PATH* must not be provided).
-
- When combined with the **-d**\ \|\ **--debug** option,
- additional debug messages are generated, and the execution
- of the loader program will use the **bpf_trace_printk**\ ()
- helper to log each step of loading BTF, creating the maps,
- and loading the programs (see **bpftool prog tracelog** as
- a way to dump those messages).

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool struct_ops { show | list }** [*STRUCT_OPS_MAP*]
- Show brief information about the struct_ops in the system.
- If *STRUCT_OPS_MAP* is specified, it shows information only
- for the given struct_ops. Otherwise, it lists all struct_ops
- currently existing in the system.
-
- Output will start with struct_ops map ID, followed by its map
- name and its struct_ops's kernel type.
