eBPF Instruction Set Specification, v1.0
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
This document specifies version 1.0 of the eBPF instruction set.
|
|
|
|
Documentation conventions
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
For brevity, this document uses the type notion "u64", "u32", etc.
|
|
to mean an unsigned integer whose width is the specified number of bits,
|
|
and "s32", etc. to mean a signed integer of the specified number of bits.
|
|
|
|
Registers and calling convention
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
eBPF has 10 general purpose registers and a read-only frame pointer register,
|
|
all of which are 64-bits wide.
|
|
|
|
The eBPF calling convention is defined as:
|
|
|
|
* R0: return value from function calls, and exit value for eBPF programs
|
|
* R1 - R5: arguments for function calls
|
|
* R6 - R9: callee saved registers that function calls will preserve
|
|
* R10: read-only frame pointer to access stack
|
|
|
|
R0 - R5 are scratch registers and eBPF programs needs to spill/fill them if
|
|
necessary across calls.
|
|
|
|
Instruction encoding
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
eBPF has two instruction encodings:
|
|
|
|
* the basic instruction encoding, which uses 64 bits to encode an instruction
|
|
* the wide instruction encoding, which appends a second 64-bit immediate (i.e.,
|
|
constant) value after the basic instruction for a total of 128 bits.
|
|
|
|
The fields conforming an encoded basic instruction are stored in the
|
|
following order::
|
|
|
|
opcode:8 src_reg:4 dst_reg:4 offset:16 imm:32 // In little-endian BPF.
|
|
opcode:8 dst_reg:4 src_reg:4 offset:16 imm:32 // In big-endian BPF.
|
|
|
|
**imm**
|
|
signed integer immediate value
|
|
|
|
**offset**
|
|
signed integer offset used with pointer arithmetic
|
|
|
|
**src_reg**
|
|
the source register number (0-10), except where otherwise specified
|
|
(`64-bit immediate instructions`_ reuse this field for other purposes)
|
|
|
|
**dst_reg**
|
|
destination register number (0-10)
|
|
|
|
**opcode**
|
|
operation to perform
|
|
|
|
Note that the contents of multi-byte fields ('imm' and 'offset') are
|
|
stored using big-endian byte ordering in big-endian BPF and
|
|
little-endian byte ordering in little-endian BPF.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
opcode offset imm assembly
|
|
src_reg dst_reg
|
|
07 0 1 00 00 44 33 22 11 r1 += 0x11223344 // little
|
|
dst_reg src_reg
|
|
07 1 0 00 00 11 22 33 44 r1 += 0x11223344 // big
|
|
|
|
Note that most instructions do not use all of the fields.
|
|
Unused fields shall be cleared to zero.
|
|
|
|
As discussed below in `64-bit immediate instructions`_, a 64-bit immediate
|
|
instruction uses a 64-bit immediate value that is constructed as follows.
|
|
The 64 bits following the basic instruction contain a pseudo instruction
|
|
using the same format but with opcode, dst_reg, src_reg, and offset all set to zero,
|
|
and imm containing the high 32 bits of the immediate value.
|
|
|
|
This is depicted in the following figure::
|
|
|
|
basic_instruction
|
|
.-----------------------------.
|
|
| |
|
|
code:8 regs:8 offset:16 imm:32 unused:32 imm:32
|
|
| |
|
|
'--------------'
|
|
pseudo instruction
|
|
|
|
Thus the 64-bit immediate value is constructed as follows:
|
|
|
|
imm64 = (next_imm << 32) | imm
|
|
|
|
where 'next_imm' refers to the imm value of the pseudo instruction
|
|
following the basic instruction. The unused bytes in the pseudo
|
|
instruction are reserved and shall be cleared to zero.
|
|
|
|
Instruction classes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The three LSB bits of the 'opcode' field store the instruction class:

Arithmetic and jump instructions
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
For arithmetic and jump instructions (``BPF_ALU``, ``BPF_ALU64``, ``BPF_JMP`` and
|
|
``BPF_JMP32``), the 8-bit 'opcode' field is divided into three parts:
|
|
|
|
============== ====== =================
|
|
4 bits (MSB) 1 bit 3 bits (LSB)
|

**instruction class**

the instruction class (see `Instruction classes`_)

Arithmetic instructions
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
``BPF_ALU`` uses 32-bit wide operands while ``BPF_ALU64`` uses 64-bit wide operands for
|
|
otherwise identical operations.
|
|
The 'code' field encodes the operation as below, where 'src' and 'dst' refer
|
|
to the values of the source and destination registers, respectively.
|
|
|
|

BPF_ADD 0x00 dst += src
|
|
BPF_SUB 0x10 dst -= src
|
|
BPF_MUL 0x20 dst \*= src
|
|
BPF_DIV 0x30 dst = (src != 0) ? (dst / src) : 0
|
|
BPF_OR 0x40 dst \|= src
|
|
BPF_AND 0x50 dst &= src
|
|
BPF_LSH 0x60 dst <<= src
|

BPF_RSH 0x70 dst >>= src
|

BPF_NEG 0x80 dst = ~src

BPF_MOD 0x90 dst = (src != 0) ? (dst % src) : dst

BPF_ARSH 0xc0 sign extending shift right

|
BPF_END 0xd0 byte swap operations (see `Byte swap instructions`_ below)
|
|
======== ===== ==========================================================
|
|
|
|
Underflow and overflow are allowed during arithmetic operations, meaning
|
|
the 64-bit or 32-bit value will wrap. If eBPF program execution would
|
|
result in division by zero, the destination register is instead set to zero.
|
|
If execution would result in modulo by zero, for ``BPF_ALU64`` the value of
|
|
the destination register is unchanged whereas for ``BPF_ALU`` the upper
|
|
32 bits of the destination register are zeroed.
|
|
|
|
``BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU`` means::
|
|
|
|
dst = (u32) ((u32) dst + (u32) src)
|
|
|
|
where '(u32)' indicates that the upper 32 bits are zeroed.
|
|
|
|
``BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU64`` means::
|
|
|
|
dst = dst + src
|
|
|
|
``BPF_XOR | BPF_K | BPF_ALU`` means::
|
|
|
|
dst = (u32) dst ^ (u32) imm32
|
|
|
|
``BPF_XOR | BPF_K | BPF_ALU64`` means::
|
|
|
|
dst = dst ^ imm32
|
|
|
|
Also note that the division and modulo operations are unsigned. Thus, for
|
|
``BPF_ALU``, 'imm' is first interpreted as an unsigned 32-bit value, whereas
|
|
for ``BPF_ALU64``, 'imm' is first sign extended to 64 bits and the result
|
|
interpreted as an unsigned 64-bit value. There are no instructions for
|
|
signed division or modulo.
|
|
|
|
Byte swap instructions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The byte swap instructions use an instruction class of ``BPF_ALU`` and a 4-bit
|
|
'code' field of ``BPF_END``.
|
|
|
|
The byte swap instructions operate on the destination register
|
|
only and do not use a separate source register or immediate value.
|
|
|
|
The 1-bit source operand field in the opcode is used to select what byte
|
|
order the operation convert from or to:
|
|
|
|
========= ===== =================================================
|
|
source value description
|
|
========= ===== =================================================
|
|
BPF_TO_LE 0x00 convert between host byte order and little endian
|
|
BPF_TO_BE 0x08 convert between host byte order and big endian
|
|
========= ===== =================================================
|
|
|
|
The 'imm' field encodes the width of the swap operations. The following widths
|
|
are supported: 16, 32 and 64.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
``BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_LE | BPF_END`` with imm = 16 means::
|
|
|
|
dst = htole16(dst)
|
|
|
|
``BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_BE | BPF_END`` with imm = 64 means::
|
|
|
|
dst = htobe64(dst)
|
|
|
|
Jump instructions
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
``BPF_JMP32`` uses 32-bit wide operands while ``BPF_JMP`` uses 64-bit wide operands for
|
|
otherwise identical operations.
|
|
The 'code' field encodes the operation as below:

|
BPF_JSLE 0xd any PC += offset if dst <= src signed
|
|
======== ===== === =========================================== =========================================
|
|
|
|
The eBPF program needs to store the return value into register R0 before doing a
|
|
``BPF_EXIT``.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
``BPF_JSGE | BPF_X | BPF_JMP32`` (0x7e) means::
|
|
|
|
if (s32)dst s>= (s32)src goto +offset
|
|
|
|
where 's>=' indicates a signed '>=' comparison.
|
|
|
|
Helper functions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Helper functions are a concept whereby BPF programs can call into a
|
|
set of function calls exposed by the underlying platform.
|
|
|
|
Historically, each helper function was identified by an address
|
|
encoded in the imm field. The available helper functions may differ
|
|
for each program type, but address values are unique across all program types.
|
|
|
|
Platforms that support the BPF Type Format (BTF) support identifying
|
|
a helper function by a BTF ID encoded in the imm field, where the BTF ID
|
|
identifies the helper name and type.
|
|
|
|
Program-local functions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Program-local functions are functions exposed by the same BPF program as the
|
|
caller, and are referenced by offset from the call instruction, similar to
|
|
``BPF_JA``. A ``BPF_EXIT`` within the program-local function will return to
|
|
the caller.
|
|
|
|
Load and store instructions
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
For load and store instructions (``BPF_LD``, ``BPF_LDX``, ``BPF_ST``, and ``BPF_STX``), the
|
|
8-bit 'opcode' field is divided as:
|
|
|
|
============ ====== =================
|
|
3 bits (MSB) 2 bits 3 bits (LSB)
|
|
============ ====== =================

|
|
============= ===== =====================
|
|
|
|
Regular load and store operations
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The ``BPF_MEM`` mode modifier is used to encode regular load and store
|
|
instructions that transfer data between a register and memory.
|
|
|
|
``BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_STX`` means::
|
|
|
|
*(size *) (dst + offset) = src
|
|
|
|
``BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_ST`` means::
|
|
|
|
*(size *) (dst + offset) = imm32
|
|
|
|
``BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_LDX`` means::
|
|
|
|
dst = *(size *) (src + offset)
|
|
|
|
Where size is one of: ``BPF_B``, ``BPF_H``, ``BPF_W``, or ``BPF_DW``.
|
|
|
|
Atomic operations
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Atomic operations are operations that operate on memory and can not be
|
|
interrupted or corrupted by other access to the same memory region
|
|
by other eBPF programs or means outside of this specification.
|
|
|
|
All atomic operations supported by eBPF are encoded as store operations
|
|
that use the ``BPF_ATOMIC`` mode modifier as follows:
|
|
|
|
* ``BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_W | BPF_STX`` for 32-bit operations
|
|
* ``BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_DW | BPF_STX`` for 64-bit operations
|
|
* 8-bit and 16-bit wide atomic operations are not supported.
|
|
|
|
The 'imm' field is used to encode the actual atomic operation.
|
|
Simple atomic operation use a subset of the values defined to encode
|
|
arithmetic operations in the 'imm' field to encode the atomic operation:
|
|
|
|
======== ===== ===========
|
|
imm value description
|
|
======== ===== ===========
|
|
BPF_ADD 0x00 atomic add
|
|
BPF_OR 0x40 atomic or
|
|
BPF_AND 0x50 atomic and
|
|
BPF_XOR 0xa0 atomic xor
|
|
======== ===== ===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
``BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_W | BPF_STX`` with 'imm' = BPF_ADD means::
|
|
|
|
*(u32 *)(dst + offset) += src
|
|
|
|
``BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_DW | BPF_STX`` with 'imm' = BPF ADD means::
|
|
|
|
*(u64 *)(dst + offset) += src
|
|
|
|
In addition to the simple atomic operations, there also is a modifier and
|
|
two complex atomic operations:
|
|
|
|
=========== ================ ===========================
|
|
imm value description
|
|
=========== ================ ===========================
|
|
BPF_FETCH 0x01 modifier: return old value
|
|
BPF_XCHG 0xe0 | BPF_FETCH atomic exchange
|
|
BPF_CMPXCHG 0xf0 | BPF_FETCH atomic compare and exchange
|
|
=========== ================ ===========================
|
|
|
|
The ``BPF_FETCH`` modifier is optional for simple atomic operations, and
|
|
always set for the complex atomic operations. If the ``BPF_FETCH`` flag
|
|
is set, then the operation also overwrites ``src`` with the value that
|
|
was in memory before it was modified.
|
|
|
|
The ``BPF_XCHG`` operation atomically exchanges ``src`` with the value
|
|
addressed by ``dst + offset``.
|
|
|
|
The ``BPF_CMPXCHG`` operation atomically compares the value addressed by
|
|
``dst + offset`` with ``R0``. If they match, the value addressed by
|
|
``dst + offset`` is replaced with ``src``. In either case, the
|
|
value that was at ``dst + offset`` before the operation is zero-extended
|
|
and loaded back to ``R0``.
|
|
|
|
64-bit immediate instructions
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Instructions with the ``BPF_IMM`` 'mode' modifier use the wide instruction
|
|
encoding defined in `Instruction encoding`_, and use the 'src' field of the
|
|
basic instruction to hold an opcode subtype.
|
|
|
|
The following table defines a set of ``BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD`` instructions
|
|
with opcode subtypes in the 'src' field, using new terms such as "map"
|
|
defined further below:

|
|
|
|
Maps
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Maps are shared memory regions accessible by eBPF programs on some platforms.
|
|
A map can have various semantics as defined in a separate document, and may or
|
|
may not have a single contiguous memory region, but the 'map_val(map)' is
|
|
currently only defined for maps that do have a single contiguous memory region.
|
|
|
|
Each map can have a file descriptor (fd) if supported by the platform, where
|
|
'map_by_fd(imm)' means to get the map with the specified file descriptor. Each
|
|
BPF program can also be defined to use a set of maps associated with the
|
|
program at load time, and 'map_by_idx(imm)' means to get the map with the given
|
|
index in the set associated with the BPF program containing the instruction.
|
|
|
|
Platform Variables
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Platform variables are memory regions, identified by integer ids, exposed by
|
|
the runtime and accessible by BPF programs on some platforms. The
|
|
'var_addr(imm)' operation means to get the address of the memory region
|
|
identified by the given id.
|
|
|
|
Legacy BPF Packet access instructions
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
eBPF previously introduced special instructions for access to packet data that were
|
|
carried over from classic BPF. However, these instructions are
|
|
deprecated and should no longer be used.
|
