If *PROG* is 62 specified show information only about given programs, 63 otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system. 64 In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several 65 programs which will all be shown. 66 67 Output will start with program ID followed by program type and 68 zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version). 69 70 Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF 71 programs (such as the total time spent running the program, 72 and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool 73 shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect 74 them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each 75 program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is 76 performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob. 77 78 Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about 79 processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF 80 programs. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this 81 information as well. 82 83 **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }] 84 Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By 85 default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard 86 output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes** 87 controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well. 88 89 In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several 90 programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or 91 **visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program. 92 93 If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be 94 written to *FILE*. 95 96 If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be 97 built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with 98 CFG in DOT format, on standard output. 99 100 If the programs have line_info available, the source line will 101 be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified, 102 the filename, line number and line column will also be 103 displayed on top of the source line. 104 105 **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }] 106 Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program. 107 108 If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file, 109 otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout. 110 *PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified. 111 112 **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed. 113 114 If the prog has line_info available, the source line will 115 be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified, 116 the filename, line number and line column will also be 117 displayed on top of the source line. 118 119 **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE* 120 Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*. 121 122 Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not 123 contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future 124 extensions of *bpffs*. 125 126 **bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*] 127 Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*. 128 **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the 129 *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs 130 from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory. 131 **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be 132 inferred from section names. 133 By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF 134 object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse 135 of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each 136 time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map 137 to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME* 138 allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to 139 use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file. 140 If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto 141 given networking device (offload). 142 Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all 143 maps under *MAP_DIR* directory. 144 145 Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not 146 contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future 147 extensions of *bpffs*. 148 149 **bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*] 150 Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by 151 *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP* 152 parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is 153 attached to current networking name space. 154 155 **bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*] 156 Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by 157 *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP* 158 parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is 159 detached from the current networking name space. 160 161 **bpftool prog tracelog** 162 Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout). 163 Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this 164 trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper. 165 This should be used only for debugging purposes. For 166 streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use 167 perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)). 168 169 **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*] 170 Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure 171 for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and 172 context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or 173 monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the 174 test run are printed out to the console. 175 176 Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**. 177 If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard 178 input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with 179 **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard 180 input, but only if standard input is not already in use for 181 input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output 182 data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is 183 written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both 184 output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard 185 output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was 186 passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and 187 context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and 188 **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the 189 output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB 190 should be more than enough for most cases. 191 192 Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of 193 consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and 194 context printed to files correspond to the last of those 195 runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an 196 average over all runs performed by the command. 197 198 Not all program types support test run. Among those which do, 199 not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out** 200 arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types. 201 202 **bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs* 203 Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION* 204 seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional. 205 If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to 206 **UINT_MAX** seconds. 207 208 **bpftool prog help** 209 Print short help message. 210 211OPTIONS 212======= 213 .. include:: common_options.rst 214 215 -f, --bpffs 216 When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned 217 programs. 218 219 -m, --mapcompat 220 Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions. 221 222 -n, --nomount 223 Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system 224 (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary. 225 226EXAMPLES 227======== 228**# bpftool prog show** 229 230:: 231 232 10: xdp name some_prog tag 005a3d2123620c8b gpl run_time_ns 81632 run_cnt 10 233 loaded_at 2017-09-29T20:11:00+0000 uid 0 234 xlated 528B jited 370B memlock 4096B map_ids 10 235 pids systemd(1) 236 237**# bpftool --json --pretty prog show** 238 239:: 240 241 [{ 242 "id": 10, 243 "type": "xdp", 244 "tag": "005a3d2123620c8b", 245 "gpl_compatible": true, 246 "run_time_ns": 81632, 247 "run_cnt": 10, 248 "loaded_at": 1506715860, 249 "uid": 0, 250 "bytes_xlated": 528, 251 "jited": true, 252 "bytes_jited": 370, 253 "bytes_memlock": 4096, 254 "map_ids": [10 255 ], 256 "pids": [{ 257 "pid": 1, 258 "comm": "systemd" 259 } 260 ] 261 } 262 ] 263 264| 265| **# bpftool prog dump xlated id 10 file /tmp/t** 266| **$ ls -l /tmp/t** 267 268:: 269 270 -rw------- 1 root root 560 Jul 22 01:42 /tmp/t 271 272**# bpftool prog dump jited tag 005a3d2123620c8b** 273 274:: 275 276 0: push %rbp 277 1: mov %rsp,%rbp 278 2: sub $0x228,%rsp 279 3: sub $0x28,%rbp 280 4: mov %rbx,0x0(%rbp) 281 282| 283| **# mount -t bpf none /sys/fs/bpf/** 284| **# bpftool prog pin id 10 /sys/fs/bpf/prog** 285| **# bpftool prog load ./my_prog.o /sys/fs/bpf/prog2** 286| **# ls -l /sys/fs/bpf/** 287 288:: 289 290 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 22 01:43 prog 291 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 22 01:44 prog2 292 293**# bpftool prog dump jited pinned /sys/fs/bpf/prog opcodes** 294 295:: 296 297 0: push %rbp 298 55 299 1: mov %rsp,%rbp 300 48 89 e5 301 4: sub $0x228,%rsp 302 48 81 ec 28 02 00 00 303 b: sub $0x28,%rbp 304 48 83 ed 28 305 f: mov %rbx,0x0(%rbp) 306 48 89 5d 00 307 308| 309| **# bpftool prog load xdp1_kern.o /sys/fs/bpf/xdp1 type xdp map name rxcnt id 7** 310| **# bpftool prog show pinned /sys/fs/bpf/xdp1** 311 312:: 313 314 9: xdp name xdp_prog1 tag 539ec6ce11b52f98 gpl 315 loaded_at 2018-06-25T16:17:31-0700 uid 0 316 xlated 488B jited 336B memlock 4096B map_ids 7 317 318**# rm /sys/fs/bpf/xdp1** 319 320| 321| **# bpftool prog profile id 337 duration 10 cycles instructions llc_misses** 322 323:: 324 325 51397 run_cnt 326 40176203 cycles (83.05%) 327 42518139 instructions # 1.06 insns per cycle (83.39%) 328 123 llc_misses # 2.89 LLC misses per million insns (83.15%) 329
