BPF Selftest Notes
|
|
==================
|
|
General instructions on running selftests can be found in
|
|
`Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst`__.
|
|
|
|
__ /Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst#q-how-to-run-bpf-selftests

=========================
|
|
Running Selftests in a VM
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
It's now possible to run the selftests using ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh``.
|
|
The script tries to ensure that the tests are run with the same environment as they
|
|
would be run post-submit in the CI used by the Maintainers.
|
|
|
|
This script downloads a suitable Kconfig and VM userspace image from the system used by
|
|
the CI. It builds the kernel (without overwriting your existing Kconfig), recompiles the
|
|
bpf selftests, runs them (by default ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs``) and
|
|
saves the resulting output (by default in ``~/.bpf_selftests``).
|
|
|
|
For more information on about using the script, run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh -h
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The script uses pahole and clang based on host environment setting.
|
|
If you want to change pahole and llvm, you can change `PATH` environment
|
|
variable in the beginning of script.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The script currently only supports x86_64.
|
|
|
|
Additional information about selftest failures are
|
|
documented here.

profiler[23] test failures with clang/llvm <12.0.0
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
With clang/llvm <12.0.0, the profiler[23] test may fail.
|
|
The symptom looks like
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
// r9 is a pointer to map_value
|
|
// r7 is a scalar
|
|
17: bf 96 00 00 00 00 00 00 r6 = r9
|
|
18: 0f 76 00 00 00 00 00 00 r6 += r7
|
|
math between map_value pointer and register with unbounded min value is not allowed
|
|
|
|
// the instructions below will not be seen in the verifier log
|
|
19: a5 07 01 00 01 01 00 00 if r7 < 257 goto +1
|
|
20: bf 96 00 00 00 00 00 00 r6 = r9
|
|
// r6 is used here
|
|
|
|
The verifier will reject such code with above error.
|
|
At insn 18 the r7 is indeed unbounded. The later insn 19 checks the bounds and
|
|
the insn 20 undoes map_value addition. It is currently impossible for the
|
|
verifier to understand such speculative pointer arithmetic.
|
|
Hence `this patch`__ addresses it on the compiler side. It was committed on llvm 12.

|
|
The corresponding C code
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_CGROUPS_PATH_DEPTH; i++) {
|
|
filepart_length = bpf_probe_read_str(payload, ...);
|
|
if (filepart_length <= MAX_PATH) {
|
|
barrier_var(filepart_length); // workaround
|
|
payload += filepart_length;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
bpf_iter test failures with clang/llvm 10.0.0
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
With clang/llvm 10.0.0, the following two bpf_iter tests failed:
|
|
* ``bpf_iter/ipv6_route``
|
|
* ``bpf_iter/netlink``
|
|
|
|
The symptom for ``bpf_iter/ipv6_route`` looks like
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
2: (79) r8 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)
|
|
...
|
|
14: (bf) r2 = r8
|
|
15: (0f) r2 += r1
|
|
; BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%pi6 %02x ", &rt->fib6_dst.addr, rt->fib6_dst.plen);
|
|
16: (7b) *(u64 *)(r8 +64) = r2
|
|
only read is supported
|
|
|
|
The symptom for ``bpf_iter/netlink`` looks like
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
; struct netlink_sock *nlk = ctx->sk;
|
|
2: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)
|
|
...
|
|
15: (bf) r2 = r7
|
|
16: (0f) r2 += r1
|
|
; BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%pK %-3d ", s, s->sk_protocol);
|
|
17: (7b) *(u64 *)(r7 +0) = r2
|
|
only read is supported
|
|
|
|
This is due to a llvm BPF backend bug. `The fix`__
|
|
has been pushed to llvm 10.x release branch and will be
|
|
available in 10.0.1. The patch is available in llvm 11.0.0 trunk.

bpf_verif_scale/loop6.o test failure with Clang 12
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
With Clang 12, the following bpf_verif_scale test failed:
|
|
* ``bpf_verif_scale/loop6.o``
|
|
|
|
The verifier output looks like
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
R1 type=ctx expected=fp
|
|
The sequence of 8193 jumps is too complex.
|
|
|
|
The reason is compiler generating the following code
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
; for (i = 0; (i < VIRTIO_MAX_SGS) && (i < num); i++) {
|
|
14: 16 05 40 00 00 00 00 00 if w5 == 0 goto +64 <LBB0_6>
|
|
15: bc 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 w1 = w5
|
|
16: 04 01 00 00 ff ff ff ff w1 += -1
|
|
17: 67 05 00 00 20 00 00 00 r5 <<= 32
|
|
18: 77 05 00 00 20 00 00 00 r5 >>= 32
|
|
19: a6 01 01 00 05 00 00 00 if w1 < 5 goto +1 <LBB0_4>
|
|
20: b7 05 00 00 06 00 00 00 r5 = 6
|
|
00000000000000a8 <LBB0_4>:
|
|
21: b7 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 r2 = 0
|
|
22: b7 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 r1 = 0
|
|
; for (i = 0; (i < VIRTIO_MAX_SGS) && (i < num); i++) {
|
|
23: 7b 1a e0 ff 00 00 00 00 *(u64 *)(r10 - 32) = r1
|
|
24: 7b 5a c0 ff 00 00 00 00 *(u64 *)(r10 - 64) = r5
|
|
|
|
Note that insn #15 has w1 = w5 and w1 is refined later but
|
|
r5(w5) is eventually saved on stack at insn #24 for later use.
|
|
This cause later verifier failure. The bug has been `fixed`__ in
|
|
Clang 13.

BPF CO-RE-based tests and Clang version
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
A set of selftests use BPF target-specific built-ins, which might require
|
|
bleeding-edge Clang versions (Clang 12 nightly at this time).
|
|
|
|
Few sub-tests of core_reloc test suit (part of test_progs test runner) require
|
|
the following built-ins, listed with corresponding Clang diffs introducing
|
|
them to Clang/LLVM. These sub-tests are going to be skipped if Clang is too
|
|
old to support them, they shouldn't cause build failures or runtime test
|
|
failures:
|
|
|
|
- __builtin_btf_type_id() [0_, 1_, 2_];
|
|
- __builtin_preserve_type_info(), __builtin_preserve_enum_value() [3_, 4_].

|
Floating-point tests and Clang version
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Certain selftests, e.g. core_reloc, require support for the floating-point
|
|
types, which was introduced in `Clang 13`__. The older Clang versions will
|
|
either crash when compiling these tests, or generate an incorrect BTF.
|
|
|
|
__ https://reviews.llvm.org/D83289
|
|
|
|
Kernel function call test and Clang version
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
Some selftests (e.g. kfunc_call and bpf_tcp_ca) require a LLVM support
|
|
to generate extern function in BTF. It was introduced in `Clang 13`__.
|
|
|
|
Without it, the error from compiling bpf selftests looks like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
libbpf: failed to find BTF for extern 'tcp_slow_start' [25] section: -2
|
|
|
|
__ https://reviews.llvm.org/D93563
|
|
|
|
Clang dependencies for static linking tests
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
linked_vars, linked_maps, and linked_funcs tests depend on `Clang fix`__ to
|
|
generate valid BTF information for weak variables. Please make sure you use
|
|
Clang that contains the fix.
