Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
82f1e0f3ac
Lawrence Brakmo says:
====================
This patchset adds support for:
- direct R or R/W access to many tcp_sock fields
- passing up to 4 arguments to sock_ops BPF functions
- tcp_sock field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags for controlling callbacks
- optionally calling sock_ops BPF program when RTO fires
- optionally calling sock_ops BPF program when packet is retransmitted
- optionally calling sock_ops BPF program when TCP state changes
- access to tclass and sk_txhash
- new selftest
v2: Fixed commit message 0/11. The commit is to "bpf-next" but the patch
below used "bpf" and Patchwork didn't work correctly.
v3: Cleaned RTO callback as per Yuchung's comment
Added BPF enum for TCP states as per Alexei's comment
v4: Fixed compile warnings related to detecting changes between TCP
internal states and the BPF defined states.
v5: Fixed comment issues in some selftest files
Fixed accesss issue with u64 fields in bpf_sock_ops struct
v6: Made fixes based on comments form Eric Dumazet:
The field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags was addded in a hole on 64bit kernels
Field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags is now set through a helper function
which returns an error when a BPF program tries to set bits for
callbacks that are not supported in the current kernel.
Added a comment indicating that when adding fields to bpf_sock_ops_kern
they should be added before the field named "temp" if they need to be
cleared before calling the BPF function.
v7: Enfornced fields "op" and "replylong[1] .. replylong[3]" not be writable
based on comments form Eric Dumazet and Alexei Starovoitov.
Filled 32 bit hole in bpf_sock_ops struct with sk_txhash based on
comments from Daniel Borkmann.
Removed unused functions (tcp_call_bpf_1arg, tcp_call_bpf_4arg) based
on comments from Daniel Borkmann.
v8: Add commit message 00/12
Add Acked-by as appropriate
v9: Moved the bug fix to the front of the patchset
Changed RETRANS_CB so it is always called (before it was only called if
the retransmit succeeded). It is now called with an extra argument, the
return value of tcp_transmit_skb (0 => success). Based on comments
from Yuchung Cheng.
Added support for reading 2 new fields, sacked_out and lost_out, based on
comments from Yuchung Cheng.
v10: Moved the callback flags from include/uapi/linux/tcp.h to
include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
Cleaned up the test in selftest. Added a timeout so it always completes,
even if the client is not communicating with the server. Made it faster
by removing the sleeps. Made sure it works even when called back-to-back
20 times.
Consists of the following patches:
[PATCH bpf-next v10 01/12] bpf: Only reply field should be writeable
[PATCH bpf-next v10 02/12] bpf: Make SOCK_OPS_GET_TCP size
[PATCH bpf-next v10 03/12] bpf: Make SOCK_OPS_GET_TCP struct
[PATCH bpf-next v10 04/12] bpf: Add write access to tcp_sock and sock
[PATCH bpf-next v10 05/12] bpf: Support passing args to sock_ops bpf
[PATCH bpf-next v10 06/12] bpf: Adds field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags to
[PATCH bpf-next v10 07/12] bpf: Add sock_ops RTO callback
[PATCH bpf-next v10 08/12] bpf: Add support for reading sk_state and
[PATCH bpf-next v10 09/12] bpf: Add sock_ops R/W access to tclass
[PATCH bpf-next v10 10/12] bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_RETRANS_CB
[PATCH bpf-next v10 11/12] bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB
[PATCH bpf-next v10 12/12] bpf: add selftest for tcpbpf

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
