2015-03-15ebpf: add helper for obtaining current processor idDaniel Borkmann1-0/+12
This patch adds the possibility to obtain raw_smp_processor_id() in eBPF. Currently, this is only possible in classic BPF where commit da2033c28226 ("filter: add SKF_AD_RXHASH and SKF_AD_CPU") has added facilities for this. Perhaps most importantly, this would also allow us to track per CPU statistics with eBPF maps, or to implement a poor-man's per CPU data structure through eBPF maps. Example function proto-type looks like: u32 (*smp_processor_id)(void) = (void *)BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id; Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-03-15ebpf: add prandom helper for packet samplingDaniel Borkmann1-0/+12
This work is similar to commit 4cd3675ebf74 ("filter: added BPF random opcode") and adds a possibility for packet sampling in eBPF. Currently, this is only possible in classic BPF and useful to combine sampling with f.e. packet sockets, possible also with tc. Example function proto-type looks like: u32 (*prandom_u32)(void) = (void *)BPF_FUNC_get_prandom_u32; Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-03-01ebpf: constify various function pointer structsDaniel Borkmann1-3/+3
We can move bpf_map_ops and bpf_verifier_ops and other structs into ro section, bpf_map_type_list and bpf_prog_type_list into read mostly. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
