382DESCRIPTION
383===========
384
385The extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) subsystem consists in programs
386written in a pseudo-assembly language, then attached to one of the several
387kernel hooks and run in reaction of specific events. This framework differs
388from the older, "classic" BPF (or "cBPF") in several aspects, one of them being
389the ability to call special functions (or "helpers") from within a program.
390These functions are restricted to a white-list of helpers defined in the
391kernel.
392
393These helpers are used by eBPF programs to interact with the system, or with
394the context in which they work. For instance, they can be used to print
395debugging messages, to get the time since the system was booted, to interact
396with eBPF maps, or to manipulate network packets. Since there are several eBPF
397program types, and that they do not run in the same context, each program type
398can only call a subset of those helpers.
399
400Due to eBPF conventions, a helper can not have more than five arguments.
401
402Internally, eBPF programs call directly into the compiled helper functions
403without requiring any foreign-function interface. As a result, calling helpers
404introduces no overhead, thus offering excellent performance.
405
406This document is an attempt to list and document the helpers available to eBPF
407developers. They are sorted by chronological order (the oldest helpers in the
408kernel at the top).

419========
420
421Example usage for most of the eBPF helpers listed in this manual page are
422available within the Linux kernel sources, at the following locations:
423
424* *samples/bpf/*
425* *tools/testing/selftests/bpf/*
426
427LICENSE
428=======
429
430eBPF programs can have an associated license, passed along with the bytecode
431instructions to the kernel when the programs are loaded. The format for that
432string is identical to the one in use for kernel modules (Dual licenses, such
433as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used). Some helper functions are only accessible to
434programs that are compatible with the GNU Privacy License (GPL).
435
436In order to use such helpers, the eBPF program must be loaded with the correct
437license string passed (via **attr**) to the **bpf**\ () system call, and this
438generally translates into the C source code of the program containing a line
439similar to the following:
440
441::
442
443	char ____license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
444
445IMPLEMENTATION
446==============
447
448This manual page is an effort to document the existing eBPF helper functions.
449But as of this writing, the BPF sub-system is under heavy development. New eBPF
450program or map types are added, along with new helper functions. Some helpers
451are occasionally made available for additional program types. So in spite of
452the efforts of the community, this page might not be up-to-date. If you want to
453check by yourself what helper functions exist in your kernel, or what types of
454programs they can support, here are some files among the kernel tree that you
455may be interested in:
456
457* *include/uapi/linux/bpf.h* is the main BPF header. It contains the full list
458  of all helper functions, as well as many other BPF definitions including most
459  of the flags, structs or constants used by the helpers.
460* *net/core/filter.c* contains the definition of most network-related helper
461  functions, and the list of program types from which they can be used.
462* *kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c* is the equivalent for most tracing program-related
463  helpers.
464* *kernel/bpf/verifier.c* contains the functions used to check that valid types
465  of eBPF maps are used with a given helper function.
466* *kernel/bpf/* directory contains other files in which additional helpers are
467  defined (for cgroups, sockmaps, etc.).
468* The bpftool utility can be used to probe the availability of helper functions
469  on the system (as well as supported program and map types, and a number of
470  other parameters). To do so, run **bpftool feature probe** (see
471  **bpftool-feature**\ (8) for details). Add the **unprivileged** keyword to
472  list features available to unprivileged users.
473
474Compatibility between helper functions and program types can generally be found
475in the files where helper functions are defined. Look for the **struct
476bpf_func_proto** objects and for functions returning them: these functions
477contain a list of helpers that a given program type can call. Note that the
478**default:** label of the **switch ... case** used to filter helpers can call
479other functions, themselves allowing access to additional helpers. The
480requirement for GPL license is also in those **struct bpf_func_proto**.
481
482Compatibility between helper functions and map types can be found in the
483**check_map_func_compatibility**\ () function in file *kernel/bpf/verifier.c*.
484
485Helper functions that invalidate the checks on **data** and **data_end**
486pointers for network processing are listed in function
487**bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data**\ () in file *net/core/filter.c*.
