This document provides information for the BPF subsystem about various
workflows related to reporting bugs, submitting patches, and queueing
patches for stable kernels.
For general information about submitting patches, please refer to
Documentation/process/. This document only describes additional specifics
related to BPF.
Reporting bugs:
---------------
Q: How do I report bugs for BPF kernel code?
A: Since all BPF kernel development as well as bpftool and iproute2 BPF
loader development happens through the netdev kernel mailing list,
please report any found issues around BPF to the following mailing
list:
netdev@vger.kernel.org
This may also include issues related to XDP, BPF tracing, etc.
Given netdev has a high volume of traffic, please also add the BPF
maintainers to Cc (from kernel MAINTAINERS file):
Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
In case a buggy commit has already been identified, make sure to keep
the actual commit authors in Cc as well for the report. They can
typically be identified through the kernel's git tree.
Please do *not* report BPF issues to bugzilla.kernel.org since it
is a guarantee that the reported issue will be overlooked.
Submitting patches:
-------------------
Q: To which mailing list do I need to submit my BPF patches?
A: Please submit your BPF patches to the netdev kernel mailing list:
netdev@vger.kernel.org
Historically, BPF came out of networking and has always been maintained
by the kernel networking community. Although these days BPF touches
many other subsystems as well, the patches are still routed mainly
through the networking community.
In case your patch has changes in various different subsystems (e.g.
tracing, security, etc), make sure to Cc the related kernel mailing
lists and maintainers from there as well, so they are able to review
the changes and provide their Acked-by's to the patches.
Q: Where can I find patches currently under discussion for BPF subsystem?
A: All patches that are Cc'ed to netdev are queued for review under netdev
patchwork project:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
Those patches which target BPF, are assigned to a 'bpf' delegate for
further processing from BPF maintainers. The current queue with
patches under review can be found at:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=77147
Once the patches have been reviewed by the BPF community as a whole
and approved by the BPF maintainers, their status in patchwork will be
changed to 'Accepted' and the submitter will be notified by mail. This
means that the patches look good from a BPF perspective and have been
applied to one of the two BPF kernel trees.
In case feedback from the community requires a respin of the patches,
their status in patchwork will be set to 'Changes Requested', and purged
from the current review queue. Likewise for cases where patches would
get rejected or are not applicable to the BPF trees (but assigned to
the 'bpf' delegate).
Q: How do the changes make their way into Linux?
A: There are two BPF kernel trees (git repositories). Once patches have
been accepted by the BPF maintainers, they will be applied to one
of the two BPF trees:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/
The bpf tree itself is for fixes only, whereas bpf-next for features,
cleanups or other kind of improvements ("next-like" content). This is
analogous to net and net-next trees for networking. Both bpf and
bpf-next will only have a master branch in order to simplify against
which branch patches should get rebased to.
Accumulated BPF patches in the bpf tree will regularly get pulled
into the net kernel tree. Likewise, accumulated BPF patches accepted
into the bpf-next tree will make their way into net-next tree. net and
net-next are both run by David S. Miller. From there, they will go
into the kernel mainline tree run by Linus Torvalds. To read up on the
process of net and net-next being merged into the mainline tree, see
the netdev FAQ under:
Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
Occasionally, to prevent merge conflicts, we might send pull requests
to other trees (e.g. tracing) with a small subset of the patches, but
net and net-next are always the main trees targeted for integration.
The pull requests will contain a high-level summary of the accumulated
patches and can be searched on netdev kernel mailing list through the
following subject lines (yyyy-mm-dd is the date of the pull request):
pull-request: bpf yyyy-mm-dd
pull-request: bpf-next yyyy-mm-dd
Q: How do I indicate which tree (bpf vs. bpf-next) my patch should be
applied to?
A: The process is the very same as described in the netdev FAQ, so
please read up on it. The subject line must indicate whether the
patch is a fix or rather "next-like" content in order to let the
maintainers know whether it is targeted at bpf or bpf-next.
For fixes eventually landing in bpf -> net tree, the subject must
look like:
git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf' start..finish
For features/improvements/etc that should eventually land in
bpf-next -> net-next, the subject must look like:
git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH bpf-next' start..finish
If unsure whether the patch or patch series should go into bpf
or net directly, or bpf-next or net-next directly, it is not a
problem either if the subject line says net or net-next as target.
It is eventually up to the maintainers to do the delegation of
the patches.
If it is clear that patches should go into bpf or bpf-next tree,
please make sure to rebase the patches against those trees in
order to reduce potential conflicts.
In case the patch or patch series has to be reworked and sent out
again in a second or later revision, it is also required to add a
version number (v2, v3, ...) into the subject prefix:
git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH net-next v2' start..finish
When changes have been requested to the patch series, always send the
whole patch series again with the feedback incorporated (never send
individual diffs on top of the old series).
Q: What does it mean when a patch gets applied to bpf or bpf-next tree?
A: It means that the patch looks good for mainline inclusion from
a BPF point of view.
Be aware that this is not a final verdict that the patch will
automatically get accepted into net or net-next trees eventually:
On the netdev kernel mailing list reviews can come in at any point
in time. If discussions around a patch conclude that they cannot
get included as-is, we will either apply a follow-up fix or drop
them from the trees entirely. Therefore, we also reserve to rebase
the trees when deemed necessary. After all, the purpose of the tree
is to i) accumulate and stage BPF patches for integration into trees
like net and net-next, and ii) run extensive BPF test suite and
workloads on the patches before they make their way any further.
Once the BPF pull request was accepted by David S. Miller, then
the patches end up in net or net-next tree, respectively, and
make their way from there further into mainline. Again, see the
netdev FAQ for additional information e.g. on how often they are
merged to mainline.
Q: How long do I need to wait for feedback on my BPF patches?
A: We try to keep the latency low. The usual time to feedback will
be around 2 or 3 business days. It may vary depending on the
complexity of changes and current patch load.
Q: How often do you send pull requests to major kernel trees like
net or net-next?
A: Pull requests will be sent out rather often in order to not
accumulate too many patches in bpf or bpf-next.
As a rule of thumb, expect pull requests for each tree regularly
at the end of the week. In some cases pull requests could additionally
come also in the middle of the week depending on the current patch
load or urgency.
Q: Are patches applied to bpf-next when the merge window is open?
A: For the time when the merge window is open, bpf-next will not be
processed. This is roughly analogous to net-next patch processing,
so feel free to read up on the netdev FAQ about further details.
During those two weeks of merge window, we might ask you to resend
your patch series once bpf-next is open again. Once Linus released
a v*-rc1 after the merge window, we continue processing of bpf-next.
For non-subscribers to kernel mailing lists, there is also a status
page run by David S. Miller on net-next that provides guidance:
http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
Q: I made a BPF verifier change, do I need to add test cases for
BPF kernel selftests?
A: If the patch has changes to the behavior of the verifier, then yes,
it is absolutely necessary to add test cases to the BPF kernel
selftests suite. If they are not present and we think they are
needed, then we might ask for them before accepting any changes.
In particular, test_verifier.c is tracking a high number of BPF test
cases, including a lot of corner cases that LLVM BPF back end may
generate out of the restricted C code. Thus, adding test cases is
absolutely crucial to make sure future changes do not accidentally
affect prior use-cases. Thus, treat those test cases as: verifier
behavior that is not tracked in test_verifier.c could potentially
be subject to change.
Q: When should I add code to samples/bpf/ and when to BPF kernel
selftests?
A: In general, we prefer additions to BPF kernel selftests rather than
samples/bpf/. The rationale is very simple: kernel selftests are
regularly run by various bots to test for kernel regressions.
The more test cases we add to BPF selftests, the better the coverage
and the less likely it is that those could accidentally break. It is
not that BPF kernel selftests cannot demo how a specific feature can
be used.
That said, samples/bpf/ may be a good place for people to get started,
so it might be advisable that simple demos of features could go into
samples/bpf/, but advanced functional and corner-case testing rather
into kernel selftests.
If your sample looks like a test case, then go for BPF kernel selftests
instead!
Q: When should I add code to the bpftool?
A: The main purpose of bpftool (under tools/bpf/bpftool/) is to provide
a central user space tool for debugging and introspection of BPF programs
and maps that are active in the kernel. If UAPI changes related to BPF
enable for dumping additional information of programs or maps, then
bpftool should be extended as well to support dumping them.
Q: When should I add code to iproute2's BPF loader?
A: For UAPI changes related to the XDP or tc layer (e.g. cls_bpf), the
convention is that those control-path related changes are added to
iproute2's BPF loader as well from user space side. This is not only
useful to have UAPI changes properly designed to be usable, but also
to make those changes available to a wider user base of major
downstream distributions.
Q: Do you accept patches as well for iproute2's BPF loader?
A: Patches for the iproute2's BPF loader have to be sent to:
netdev@vger.kernel.org
While those patches are not processed by the BPF kernel maintainers,
please keep them in Cc as well, so they can be reviewed.
The official git repository for iproute2 is run by Stephen Hemminger
and can be found at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/
The patches need to have a subject prefix of '[PATCH iproute2 master]'
or '[PATCH iproute2 net-next]'. 'master' or 'net-next' describes the
target branch where the patch should be applied to. Meaning, if kernel
changes went into the net-next kernel tree, then the related iproute2
changes need to go into the iproute2 net-next branch, otherwise they
can be targeted at master branch. The iproute2 net-next branch will get
merged into the master branch after the current iproute2 version from
master has been released.
Like BPF, the patches end up in patchwork under the netdev project and
are delegated to 'shemminger' for further processing:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?delegate=389
Q: What is the minimum requirement before I submit my BPF patches?
A: When submitting patches, always take the time and properly test your
patches *prior* to submission. Never rush them! If maintainers find
that your patches have not been properly tested, it is a good way to
get them grumpy. Testing patch submissions is a hard requirement!
Note, fixes that go to bpf tree *must* have a Fixes: tag included. The
same applies to fixes that target bpf-next, where the affected commit
is in net-next (or in some cases bpf-next). The Fixes: tag is crucial
in order to identify follow-up commits and tremendously helps for people
having to do backporting, so it is a must have!
We also don't accept patches with an empty commit message. Take your
time and properly write up a high quality commit message, it is
essential!
Think about it this way: other developers looking at your code a month
from now need to understand *why* a certain change has been done that
way, and whether there have been flaws in the analysis or assumptions
that the original author did. Thus providing a proper rationale and
describing the use-case for the changes is a must.
Patch submissions with >1 patch must have a cover letter which includes
a high level description of the series. This high level summary will
then be placed into the merge commit by the BPF maintainers such that
it is also accessible from the git log for future reference.
Q: What do I need to consider when adding a new instruction or feature
that would require BPF JIT and/or LLVM integration as well?
A: We try hard to keep all BPF JITs up to date such that the same user
experience can be guaranteed when running BPF programs on different
architectures without having the program punt to the less efficient
interpreter in case the in-kernel BPF JIT is enabled.
If you are unable to implement or test the required JIT changes for
certain architectures, please work together with the related BPF JIT
developers in order to get the feature implemented in a timely manner.
Please refer to the git log (arch/*/net/) to locate the necessary
people for helping out.
Also always make sure to add BPF test cases (e.g. test_bpf.c and
test_verifier.c) for new instructions, so that they can receive
broad test coverage and help run-time testing the various BPF JITs.
In case of new BPF instructions, once the changes have been accepted
into the Linux kernel, please implement support into LLVM's BPF back
end. See LLVM section below for further information.
Stable submission:
------------------
Q: I need a specific BPF commit in stable kernels. What should I do?
A: In case you need a specific fix in stable kernels, first check whether
the commit has already been applied in the related linux-*.y branches:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/
If not the case, then drop an email to the BPF maintainers with the
netdev kernel mailing list in Cc and ask for the fix to be queued up:
netdev@vger.kernel.org
The process in general is the same as on netdev itself, see also the
netdev FAQ document.
Q: Do you also backport to kernels not currently maintained as stable?
A: No. If you need a specific BPF commit in kernels that are currently not
maintained by the stable maintainers, then you are on your own.
The current stable and longterm stable kernels are all listed here:
https://www.kernel.org/
Q: The BPF patch I am about to submit needs to go to stable as well. What
should I do?
A: The same rules apply as with netdev patch submissions in general, see
netdev FAQ under:
Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
Never add "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" to the patch description, but
ask the BPF maintainers to queue the patches instead. This can be done
with a note, for example, under the "---" part of the patch which does
not go into the git log. Alternatively, this can be done as a simple
request by mail instead.
Q: Where do I find currently queued BPF patches that will be submitted
to stable?
A: Once patches that fix critical bugs got applied into the bpf tree, they
are queued up for stable submission under:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/bpf/stable/?state=*
They will be on hold there at minimum until the related commit made its
way into the mainline kernel tree.
After having been under broader exposure, the queued patches will be
submitted by the BPF maintainers to the stable maintainers.
Testing patches:
----------------
Q: Which BPF kernel selftests version should I run my kernel against?
A: If you run a kernel xyz, then always run the BPF kernel selftests from
that kernel xyz as well. Do not expect that the BPF selftest from the
latest mainline tree will pass all the time.
In particular, test_bpf.c and test_verifier.c have a large number of
test cases and are constantly updated with new BPF test sequences, or
existing ones are adapted to verifier changes e.g. due to verifier
becoming smarter and being able to better track certain things.
LLVM:
-----
Q: Where do I find LLVM with BPF support?
A: The BPF back end for LLVM is upstream in LLVM since version 3.7.1.
All major distributions these days ship LLVM with BPF back end enabled,
so for the majority of use-cases it is not required to compile LLVM by
hand anymore, just install the distribution provided package.
LLVM's static compiler lists the supported targets through 'llc --version',
make sure BPF targets are listed. Example:
$ llc --version
LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
LLVM version 6.0.0svn
Optimized build.
Default target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Host CPU: skylake
Registered Targets:
bpf - BPF (host endian)
bpfeb - BPF (big endian)
bpfel - BPF (little endian)
x86 - 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64
For developers in order to utilize the latest features added to LLVM's
BPF back end, it is advisable to run the latest LLVM releases. Support
for new BPF kernel features such as additions to the BPF instruction
set are often developed together.
All LLVM releases can be found at: http://releases.llvm.org/
Q: Got it, so how do I build LLVM manually anyway?
A: You need cmake and gcc-c++ as build requisites for LLVM. Once you have
that set up, proceed with building the latest LLVM and clang version
from the git repositories:
$ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
$ cd llvm/tools
$ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
$ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
$ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86" \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DLLVM_BUILD_RUNTIME=OFF
$ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
The built binaries can then be found in the build/bin/ directory, where
you can point the PATH variable to.
Q: Should I notify BPF kernel maintainers about issues in LLVM's BPF code
generation back end or about LLVM generated code that the verifier
refuses to accept?
A: Yes, please do! LLVM's BPF back end is a key piece of the whole BPF
infrastructure and it ties deeply into verification of programs from the
kernel side. Therefore, any issues on either side need to be investigated
and fixed whenever necessary.
Therefore, please make sure to bring them up at netdev kernel mailing
list and Cc BPF maintainers for LLVM and kernel bits:
Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com>
Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
LLVM also has an issue tracker where BPF related bugs can be found:
https://bugs.llvm.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=bpf
However, it is better to reach out through mailing lists with having
maintainers in Cc.
Q: I have added a new BPF instruction to the kernel, how can I integrate
it into LLVM?
A: LLVM has a -mcpu selector for the BPF back end in order to allow the
selection of BPF instruction set extensions. By default the 'generic'
processor target is used, which is the base instruction set (v1) of BPF.
LLVM has an option to select -mcpu=probe where it will probe the host
kernel for supported BPF instruction set extensions and selects the
optimal set automatically.
For cross-compilation, a specific version can be select manually as well.
$ llc -march bpf -mcpu=help
Available CPUs for this target:
generic - Select the generic processor.
probe - Select the probe processor.
v1 - Select the v1 processor.
v2 - Select the v2 processor.
[...]
Newly added BPF instructions to the Linux kernel need to follow the same
scheme, bump the instruction set version and implement probing for the
extensions such that -mcpu=probe users can benefit from the optimization
transparently when upgrading their kernels.
If you are unable to implement support for the newly added BPF instruction
please reach out to BPF developers for help.
By the way, the BPF kernel selftests run with -mcpu=probe for better
test coverage.
Happy BPF hacking!
