The regs_return_value() returns "unsigned long" or "long" value. But the
retval is int type now, it may cause overflow, the log may becomes:[ 2911.078869] do_brk returned -2003877888 and took 4620 ns to execute
This patch converts the retval to "unsigned long" type, and fixes the
overflow issue.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464143083-3877-4-git-send-email-shijie.huang@arm.com

This example shows using a kprobe to act as a dnat mechanism to divert
traffic for arbitrary endpoints. It rewrite the arguments to a syscall
while they're still in userspace, and before the syscall has a chance
to copy the argument into kernel space.Although this is an example, it also acts as a test because the mapped
address is 255.255.255.255:555 -> real address, and that's not a legal
address to connect to. If the helper is broken, the example will fail
on the intermediate steps, as well as the final step to verify the
rewrite of userspace memory succeeded.Signed-off-by: Sargun Dhillon

This allows user memory to be written to during the course of a kprobe.
It shouldn't be used to implement any kind of security mechanism
because of TOC-TOU attacks, but rather to debug, divert, and
manipulate execution of semi-cooperative processes.Although it uses probe_kernel_write, we limit the address space
the probe can write into by checking the space with access_ok.
We do this as opposed to calling copy_to_user directly, in order
to avoid sleeping. In addition we ensure the threads's current fs
/ segment is USER_DS and the thread isn't exiting nor a kernel thread.Given this feature is meant for experiments, and it has a risk of
crashing the system, and running programs, we print a warning on
when a proglet that attempts to use this helper is installed,
along with the pid and process name.Signed-off-by: Sargun Dhillon

Add a separate Kconfig option for SAMPLES_SECCOMP.
Main reason for this is that, just like other samples, it's forced to
be a module.Without this, since the sample is a target only controlled by
CONFIG_SECCOMP_FILTER, the samples will be built before include files are
put in place properly. For example, from an arm64 allmodconfig built with
"make -sk -j 32" (without specific target), the following happens:samples/seccomp/bpf-fancy.c:13:27: fatal error: linux/seccomp.h: No such file or directory
samples/seccomp/bpf-helper.h:20:50: fatal error: linux/seccomp.h: No such file or directory

test_cgrp2_array_pin.c:
A userland program that creates a bpf_map (BPF_MAP_TYPE_GROUP_ARRAY),
pouplates/updates it with a cgroup2's backed fd and pins it to a
bpf-fs's file. The pinned file can be loaded by tc and then used
by the bpf prog later. This program can also update an existing pinned
array and it could be useful for debugging/testing purpose.test_cgrp2_tc_kern.c:
A bpf prog which should be loaded by tc. It is to demonstrate
the usage of bpf_skb_in_cgroup.test_cgrp2_tc.sh:
A script that glues the test_cgrp2_array_pin.c and
test_cgrp2_tc_kern.c together. The idea is like:
1. Load the test_cgrp2_tc_kern.o by tc
2. Use test_cgrp2_array_pin.c to populate a BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY
with a cgroup fd
3. Do a 'ping -6 ff02::1%ve' to ensure the packet has been
dropped because of a match on the cgroupMost of the lines in test_cgrp2_tc.sh is the boilerplate
to setup the cgroup/bpf-fs/net-devices/netns...etc. It is
not bulletproof on errors but should work well enough and
give enough debug info if things did not go well.Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau

Add sample code to test trace_printk(). The trace_printk() functions should
never be used in production code. This makes testing it a bit more
difficult. Having a sample module that can test use cases of trace_printk()
can help out.Currently it just tests trace_printk() where it will be converted into:
trace_bputs()
trace_puts()
trace_bprintk()as well as staying as the normal _trace_printk().
It also tests its use in interrupt context as that will test the auxilery

symbols, but not the Documentation directory.This solves the build problem by moving the connector sample into
the same directory as the other samples.Fixes: 23121ca2b56b ("kbuild: create/adjust generated/autoksyms.h")

parse_simple.c - packet parser exapmle with single length check that
filters out udp packets for port 9parse_varlen.c - variable length parser that understand multiple vlan headers,
ipip, ipip6 and ip options to filter out udp or tcp packets on port 9.
The packet is parsed layer by layer with multitple length checks.parse_ldabs.c - classic style of packet parsing using LD_ABS instruction.
Same functionality as parse_simple.simple = 24.1Mpps per core
varlen = 22.7Mpps
ldabs = 21.4MppsParser with LD_ABS instructions is slower than full direct access parser
which does more packet accesses and checks.These examples demonstrate the choice bpf program authors can make between
flexibility of the parser vs speed.Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

Users are likely to manually compile both LLVM 'llc' and 'clang'
tools. Thus, also allow redefining CLANG and verify command exist.Makefile implementation wise, the target that verify the command have
been generalized.Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer

It is not intuitive that 'make' must be run from the top level
directory with argument "samples/bpf/" to compile these eBPF samples.Introduce a kbuild make file trick that allow make to be run from the
"samples/bpf/" directory itself. It basically change to the top level
directory and call "make samples/bpf/" with the "/" slash after the
directory name.Also add a clean target that only cleans this directory, by taking
advantage of the kbuild external module setting M=$PWD.Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer
