2021-11-17bpf, docs: Fix ordering of bpf documentationDave Tucker9-86/+80
This commit fixes the display of the BPF documentation in the sidebar when rendered as HTML. Before this patch, the sidebar would render as follows for some sections: | BPF Documentation |- BPF Type Format (BTF) |- BPF Type Format (BTF) This was due to creating a heading in index.rst followed by a sphinx toctree, where the file referenced carries the same title as the section heading. To fix this I applied a pattern that has been established in other subfolders of Documentation: 1. Re-wrote index.rst to have a single toctree 2. Split the sections out in to their own files Additionally maps.rst and programs.rst make use of a glob pattern to include map_* or prog_* rst files in their toctree, meaning future map or program type documentation will be automatically included.

2021-10-18bpf: Rename BTF_KIND_TAG to BTF_KIND_DECL_TAGYonghong Song1-12/+12
Patch set [1] introduced BTF_KIND_TAG to allow tagging declarations for struct/union, struct/union field, var, func and func arguments and these tags will be encoded into dwarf. They are also encoded to btf by llvm for the bpf target. After BTF_KIND_TAG is introduced, we intended to use it for kernel __user attributes. But kernel __user is actually a type attribute. Upstream and internal discussion showed it is not a good idea to mix declaration attribute and type attribute. So we proposed to introduce btf_type_tag as a type attribute and existing btf_tag renamed to btf_decl_tag ([2]). This patch renamed BTF_KIND_TAG to BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG and some other declarations with *_tag to *_decl_tag to make it clear the tag is for declaration. In the future, BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG might be introduced per [3].

2021-08-16bpf: Reconfigure libbpf docs to remove unversioned APIgrantseltzer2-36/+1
This removes the libbpf_api.rst file from the kernel documentation. The intention for this file was to pull documentation from comments above API functions in libbpf. However, due to limitations of the kernel documentation system, this API documentation could not be versioned, which is counterintuative to how users expect to use it. There is also currently no doc comments, making this a blank page. Once the kernel comment documentation is actually contributed, it will still exist in the kernel repository, just in the code itself. A seperate site is being spun up to generate documentaiton from those comments in a way in which it can be versioned properly. This also reconfigures the bpf documentation index page to make it easier to sync to the previously mentioned documentaiton site.

2021-06-18bpf: Add documentation for libbpf including API autogenGrant Seltzer5-0/+253
This patch is meant to start the initiative to document libbpf. It includes .rst files which are text documentation describing building, API naming convention, as well as an index to generated API documentation. In this approach the generated API documentation is enabled by the kernels existing kernel documentation system which uses sphinx. The resulting docs would then be synced to kernel.org/doc You can test this by running `make htmldocs` and serving the html in Documentation/output. Since libbpf does not yet have comments in kernel doc format, see kernel.org/doc/html/latest/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html for an example so you can test this. The advantage of this approach is to use the existing sphinx infrastructure that the kernel has, and have libbpf docs in the same place as everything else. The current plan is to have the libbpf mirror sync the generated docs and version them based on the libbpf releases which are cut on github. This patch includes the addition of libbpf_api.rst which pulls comment documentation from header files in libbpf under tools/lib/bpf/. The comment docs would be of the standard kernel doc format.

2021-04-23bpf: Document the pahole release info related to libbpf in bpf_devel_QA.rstTiezhu Yang1-0/+13
pahole starts to use libbpf definitions and APIs since v1.13 after the commit 21507cd3e97b ("pahole: add libbpf as submodule under lib/bpf"). It works well with the git repository because the libbpf submodule will use "git submodule update --init --recursive" to update. Unfortunately, the default github release source code does not contain libbpf submodule source code and this will cause build issues, the tarball from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/ is same with github, you can get the source tarball with corresponding libbpf submodule codes from https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/dwarves This change documents the above issues to give more information so that we can get the tarball from the right place, early discussion is here: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/2de4aad5-fa9e-1c39-3c92-9bb9229d0966@loongson.cn/ Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1619141010-12521-1-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn

2021-01-23bpf, docs: Update build procedure for manually compiling LLVM and ClangTiezhu Yang1-4/+7
The current LLVM and Clang build procedure in samples/bpf/README.rst is out of date. See below that the links are not accessible any more. $ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git Cloning into 'llvm'... fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed $ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git Cloning into 'clang'... fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/clang.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed The LLVM community has adopted new ways to build the compiler. There are different ways to build LLVM and Clang, the Clang Getting Started page [1] has one way. As Yonghong said, it is better to copy the build procedure in Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst to keep consistent. I verified the procedure and it is proved to be feasible, so we should update README.rst to reflect the reality. At the same time, update the related comment in Makefile. Additionally, as Fangrui said, the dir llvm-project/llvm/build/install is not used, BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF is the default option [2], so also change Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst together. At last, we recommend that developers who want the fastest incremental builds use the Ninja build system [1], you can find it in your system's package manager, usually the package is ninja or ninja-build [3], so add ninja to build dependencies suggested by Nathan.

2021-01-20trace: bpf: Allow bpf to attach to bare tracepointsQais Yousef1-0/+6
Some subsystems only have bare tracepoints (a tracepoint with no associated trace event) to avoid the problem of trace events being an ABI that can't be changed. >From bpf presepective, bare tracepoints are what it calls RAW_TRACEPOINT(). Since bpf assumed there's 1:1 mapping, it relied on hooking to DEFINE_EVENT() macro to create bpf mapping of the tracepoints. Since bare tracepoints use DECLARE_TRACE() to create the tracepoint, bpf had no knowledge about their existence. By teaching bpf_probe.h to parse DECLARE_TRACE() in a similar fashion to DEFINE_EVENT(), bpf can find and attach to the new raw tracepoints. Enabling that comes with the contract that changes to raw tracepoints don't constitute a regression if they break existing bpf programs. We need the ability to continue to morph and modify these raw tracepoints without worrying about any ABI. Update Documentation/bpf/bpf_design_QA.rst to document this contract.

One pretty prints the port mode differently, whilst another changes the driver to try and obtain the port mode from the port node rather than the switch node. Signed-off-by: David S.
