On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * BPF_BTF_GET_NEXT_ID + * Description + * Fetch the next BPF Type Format (BTF) object currently loaded + * into the kernel. + * + * Looks for the BTF object with an id greater than *start_id* + * and updates *next_id* on success. If no other BTF objects + * remain with ids higher than *start_id*, returns -1 and sets + * *errno* to **ENOENT**. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, or when no id remains, -1 + * is returned and *errno* is set appropriately. + * + * BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH + * Description + * Iterate and fetch multiple elements in a map. + * + * Two opaque values are used to manage batch operations, + * *in_batch* and *out_batch*. Initially, *in_batch* must be set + * to NULL to begin the batched operation. After each subsequent + * **BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH**, the caller should pass the resultant + * *out_batch* as the *in_batch* for the next operation to + * continue iteration from the current point. + * + * The *keys* and *values* are output parameters which must point + * to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key + * and value size of the map *map_fd*. The *keys* buffer must be + * of *key_size* * *count*. The *values* buffer must be of + * *value_size* * *count*. + * + * The *elem_flags* argument may be specified as one of the + * following: + * + * **BPF_F_LOCK** + * Look up the value of a spin-locked map without + * returning the lock. This must be specified if the + * elements contain a spinlock. + * + * On success, *count* elements from the map are copied into the + * user buffer, with the keys copied into *keys* and the values + * copied into the corresponding indices in *values*. + * + * If an error is returned and *errno* is not **EFAULT**, *count* + * is set to the number of successfully processed elements. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * May set *errno* to **ENOSPC** to indicate that *keys* or + * *values* is too small to dump an entire bucket during + * iteration of a hash-based map type. + * + * BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH + * Description + * Iterate and delete all elements in a map. + * + * This operation has the same behavior as + * **BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH** with two exceptions: + * + * * Every element that is successfully returned is also deleted + * from the map. This is at least *count* elements. Note that + * *count* is both an input and an output parameter. + * * Upon returning with *errno* set to **EFAULT**, up to + * *count* elements may be deleted without returning the keys + * and values of the deleted elements. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH + * Description + * Update multiple elements in a map by *key*. + * + * The *keys* and *values* are input parameters which must point + * to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key + * and value size of the map *map_fd*. The *keys* buffer must be + * of *key_size* * *count*. The *values* buffer must be of + * *value_size* * *count*. + * + * Each element specified in *keys* is sequentially updated to the + * value in the corresponding index in *values*. The *in_batch* + * and *out_batch* parameters are ignored and should be zeroed. + * + * The *elem_flags* argument should be specified as one of the + * following: + * + * **BPF_ANY** + * Create new elements or update a existing elements. + * **BPF_NOEXIST** + * Create new elements only if they do not exist. + * **BPF_EXIST** + * Update existing elements. + * **BPF_F_LOCK** + * Update spin_lock-ed map elements. This must be + * specified if the map value contains a spinlock. + * + * On success, *count* elements from the map are updated. + * + * If an error is returned and *errno* is not **EFAULT**, *count* + * is set to the number of successfully processed elements. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * May set *errno* to **EINVAL**, **EPERM**, **ENOMEM**, or + * **E2BIG**. **E2BIG** indicates that the number of elements in + * the map reached the *max_entries* limit specified at map + * creation time. + * + * May set *errno* to one of the following error codes under + * specific circumstances: + * + * **EEXIST** + * If *flags* specifies **BPF_NOEXIST** and the element + * with *key* already exists in the map. + * **ENOENT** + * If *flags* specifies **BPF_EXIST** and the element with + * *key* does not exist in the map. + * + * BPF_MAP_DELETE_BATCH + * Description + * Delete multiple elements in a map by *key*. + * + * The *keys* parameter is an input parameter which must point + * to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key + * size of the map *map_fd*, that is, *key_size* * *count*. + * + * Each element specified in *keys* is sequentially deleted. The + * *in_batch*, *out_batch*, and *values* parameters are ignored + * and should be zeroed. + * + * The *elem_flags* argument may be specified as one of the + * following: + * + * **BPF_F_LOCK** + * Look up the value of a spin-locked map without + * returning the lock. This must be specified if the + * elements contain a spinlock. + * + * On success, *count* elements from the map are updated. + * + * If an error is returned and *errno* is not **EFAULT**, *count* + * is set to the number of successfully processed elements. If + * *errno* is **EFAULT**, up to *count* elements may be been + * deleted. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * BPF_LINK_CREATE + * Description + * Attach an eBPF program to a *target_fd* at the specified + * *attach_type* hook and return a file descriptor handle for + * managing the link. + * + * Return + * A new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer), or -1 if an + * error occurred (in which case, *errno* is set appropriately). + * + * BPF_LINK_UPDATE + * Description + * Update the eBPF program in the specified *link_fd* to + * *new_prog_fd*. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * BPF_LINK_GET_FD_BY_ID + * Description + * Open a file descriptor for the eBPF Link corresponding to + * *link_id*. + * + * Return + * A new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer), or -1 if an + * error occurred (in which case, *errno* is set appropriately). + * + * BPF_LINK_GET_NEXT_ID + * Description + * Fetch the next eBPF link currently loaded into the kernel. + * + * Looks for the eBPF link with an id greater than *start_id* + * and updates *next_id* on success. If no other eBPF links + * remain with ids higher than *start_id*, returns -1 and sets + * *errno* to **ENOENT**. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, or when no id remains, -1 + * is returned and *errno* is set appropriately. + * + * BPF_ENABLE_STATS + * Description + * Enable eBPF runtime statistics gathering. + * + * Runtime statistics gathering for the eBPF runtime is disabled + * by default to minimize the corresponding performance overhead. + * This command enables statistics globally. + * + * Multiple programs may independently enable statistics. + * After gathering the desired statistics, eBPF runtime statistics + * may be disabled again by calling **close**\ (2) for the file + * descriptor returned by this function. Statistics will only be + * disabled system-wide when all outstanding file descriptors + * returned by prior calls for this subcommand are closed. + * + * Return + * A new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer), or -1 if an + * error occurred (in which case, *errno* is set appropriately). + * + * BPF_ITER_CREATE + * Description + * Create an iterator on top of the specified *link_fd* (as + * previously created using **BPF_LINK_CREATE**) and return a + * file descriptor that can be used to trigger the iteration. + * + * If the resulting file descriptor is pinned to the filesystem + * using **BPF_OBJ_PIN**, then subsequent **read**\ (2) syscalls + * for that path will trigger the iterator to read kernel state + * using the eBPF program attached to *link_fd*. + * + * Return + * A new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer), or -1 if an + * error occurred (in which case, *errno* is set appropriately). + * + * BPF_LINK_DETACH + * Description + * Forcefully detach the specified *link_fd* from its + * corresponding attachment point. + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * BPF_PROG_BIND_MAP + * Description + * Bind a map to the lifetime of an eBPF program. + * + * The map identified by *map_fd* is bound to the program + * identified by *prog_fd* and only released when *prog_fd* is + * released. This may be used in cases where metadata should be + * associated with a program which otherwise does not contain any + * references to the map (for example, embedded in the eBPF + * program instructions). + * + * Return + * Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno* + * is set appropriately. + * + * NOTES + * eBPF objects (maps and programs) can be shared between processes. + * + * * After **fork**\ (2), the child inherits file descriptors + * referring to the same eBPF objects. + * * File descriptors referring to eBPF objects can be transferred over + * **unix**\ (7) domain sockets. + * * File descriptors referring to eBPF objects can be duplicated in the + * usual way, using **dup**\ (2) and similar calls. + * * File descriptors referring to eBPF objects can be pinned to the + * filesystem using the **BPF_OBJ_PIN** command of **bpf**\ (2). + * + * An eBPF object is deallocated only after all file descriptors referring + * to the object have been closed and no references remain pinned to the + * filesystem or attached (for example, bound to a program or device). + */ enum bpf_cmd { BPF_MAP_CREATE, BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM,
