7drgn scripts is a convenient and easy to use mechanism to retrieve arbitrary
8kernel data structures. drgn is not relying on kernel UAPI to read the data.
9Instead it's reading directly from ``/proc/kcore`` or vmcore and pretty prints
10the data based on DWARF debug information from vmlinux.

12This document describes BPF related drgn tools.

14See `drgn/tools`_ for all tools available at the moment and `drgn/doc`_ for
15more details on drgn itself.

20Description
21===========
22
23`bpf_inspect.py`_ is a tool intended to inspect BPF programs and maps. It can
24iterate over all programs and maps in the system and print basic information
25about these objects, including id, type and name.
26
27The main use-case `bpf_inspect.py`_ covers is to show BPF programs of types
28``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT`` and ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING`` attached to other BPF
29programs via ``freplace``/``fentry``/``fexit`` mechanisms, since there is no
30user-space API to get this information.
31
32Getting started
33===============
34
35List BPF programs (full names are obtained from BTF)::
36
37    % sudo bpf_inspect.py prog
38        27: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT         tracepoint__tcp__tcp_send_reset
39      4632: BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR   tw_ipt_bind
40     49464: BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT     raw_tracepoint__sched_process_exit
41
42List BPF maps::
43
44      % sudo bpf_inspect.py map
45        2577: BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH                tw_ipt_vips
46        4050: BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE         stack_traces
47        4069: BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY        ned_dctcp_cntr
48
49Find BPF programs attached to BPF program ``test_pkt_access``::
50
51      % sudo bpf_inspect.py p | grep test_pkt_access
52         650: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS          test_pkt_access
53         654: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_main                        linked:[650->25: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access()]
54         655: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog1                    linked:[650->29: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog1()]
55         656: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog2                    linked:[650->31: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog2()]
56         657: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog3                    linked:[650->21: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog3()]
57         658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_len                  linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
58         659: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_ifindex              linked:[650->23: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_ifindex()]
59         660: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_constant                 linked:[650->19: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_constant()]
60
61It can be seen that there is a program ``test_pkt_access``, id 650 and there
62are multiple other tracing and ext programs attached to functions in
63``test_pkt_access``.
64
65For example the line::
66
67         658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_len                  linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
68
69, means that BPF program id 658, type ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT``, name
70``new_get_skb_len`` replaces (``BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE``) function ``get_skb_len()``
71that has BTF id 16 in BPF program id 650, name ``test_pkt_access``.

80    drgn script to list BPF programs or maps and their properties
81    unavailable via kernel API.
82
83    See https://github.com/osandov/drgn/ for more details on drgn.
84
85    optional arguments:
86      -h, --help      show this help message and exit
87
88    subcommands:
89      {prog,p,map,m}
90        prog (p)      list BPF programs
91        map (m)       list BPF maps
92
93Customization
94=============
95
96The script is intended to be customized by developers to print relevant
97information about BPF programs, maps and other objects.
98
99For example, to print ``struct bpf_prog_aux`` for BPF program id 53077:
100
