406written in a pseudo-assembly language, then attached to one of the several
407kernel hooks and run in reaction of specific events. This framework differs
408from the older, "classic" BPF (or "cBPF") in several aspects, one of them being
409the ability to call special functions (or "helpers") from within a program.
410These functions are restricted to a white-list of helpers defined in the
411kernel.
412
413These helpers are used by eBPF programs to interact with the system, or with
414the context in which they work. For instance, they can be used to print
415debugging messages, to get the time since the system was booted, to interact
416with eBPF maps, or to manipulate network packets. Since there are several eBPF
417program types, and that they do not run in the same context, each program type
418can only call a subset of those helpers.
419
420Due to eBPF conventions, a helper can not have more than five arguments.
421
422Internally, eBPF programs call directly into the compiled helper functions
423without requiring any foreign-function interface. As a result, calling helpers
424introduces no overhead, thus offering excellent performance.
425
426This document is an attempt to list and document the helpers available to eBPF
427developers. They are sorted by chronological order (the oldest helpers in the
428kernel at the top).

438EXAMPLES
439========
440
441Example usage for most of the eBPF helpers listed in this manual page are
442available within the Linux kernel sources, at the following locations:
443
444* *samples/bpf/*
445* *tools/testing/selftests/bpf/*
446
447LICENSE
448=======
449
450eBPF programs can have an associated license, passed along with the bytecode
451instructions to the kernel when the programs are loaded. The format for that
452string is identical to the one in use for kernel modules (Dual licenses, such
453as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used). Some helper functions are only accessible to
454programs that are compatible with the GNU Privacy License (GPL).
455
456In order to use such helpers, the eBPF program must be loaded with the correct
457license string passed (via **attr**) to the **bpf**\ () system call, and this
458generally translates into the C source code of the program containing a line
459similar to the following:
460
461::
462
463	char ____license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
464
465IMPLEMENTATION
466==============
467
468This manual page is an effort to document the existing eBPF helper functions.
469But as of this writing, the BPF sub-system is under heavy development. New eBPF
470program or map types are added, along with new helper functions. Some helpers
471are occasionally made available for additional program types. So in spite of
472the efforts of the community, this page might not be up-to-date. If you want to
473check by yourself what helper functions exist in your kernel, or what types of
474programs they can support, here are some files among the kernel tree that you
475may be interested in:
476
477* *include/uapi/linux/bpf.h* is the main BPF header. It contains the full list
478  of all helper functions, as well as many other BPF definitions including most
479  of the flags, structs or constants used by the helpers.
480* *net/core/filter.c* contains the definition of most network-related helper
481  functions, and the list of program types from which they can be used.
482* *kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c* is the equivalent for most tracing program-related
483  helpers.
484* *kernel/bpf/verifier.c* contains the functions used to check that valid types
485  of eBPF maps are used with a given helper function.
486* *kernel/bpf/* directory contains other files in which additional helpers are
487  defined (for cgroups, sockmaps, etc.).
488* The bpftool utility can be used to probe the availability of helper functions
489  on the system (as well as supported program and map types, and a number of
490  other parameters). To do so, run **bpftool feature probe** (see
491  **bpftool-feature**\ (8) for details). Add the **unprivileged** keyword to
492  list features available to unprivileged users.
493
494Compatibility between helper functions and program types can generally be found
495in the files where helper functions are defined. Look for the **struct
496bpf_func_proto** objects and for functions returning them: these functions
497contain a list of helpers that a given program type can call. Note that the
498**default:** label of the **switch ... case** used to filter helpers can call
499other functions, themselves allowing access to additional helpers. The
500requirement for GPL license is also in those **struct bpf_func_proto**.
501
502Compatibility between helper functions and map types can be found in the
503**check_map_func_compatibility**\ () function in file *kernel/bpf/verifier.c*.
504
505Helper functions that invalidate the checks on **data** and **data_end**
506pointers for network processing are listed in function
507**bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data**\ () in file *net/core/filter.c*.
