gobpf

GoDoc CI

This repository provides go bindings for the bcc framework as well as low-level routines to load and use eBPF programs from .elf files.

Input and contributions are very welcome.

We recommend vendoring gobpf and pinning its version as the API is regularly changing following bcc and Linux updates and releases.

Requirements

eBPF requires a recent Linux kernel. A good feature list can be found here: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/docs/kernel-versions.md

github.com/iovisor/gobpf/bcc

Install the latest released version of libbcc (either using a package manager or by building from source).

github.com/iovisor/gobpf/elf

Building ELF Object Files

To build ELF object files for use with the elf package, you must use specific sections (SEC("...")). The following are currently supported:

  • kprobe/...
  • cgroup/skb
  • cgroup/sock
  • maps/...
  • socket...
  • tracepoint...
  • uprobe/...
  • uretprobe/...
  • xdp/...

Map definitions must correspond to bpf_map_def from the elf package. Otherwise, you will encounter an error like only one map with size 280 bytes allowed per section (check bpf_map_def).

The Cilium BPF docs contain helpful info for using clang/LLVM to compile programs into elf object files: https://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bpf/#llvm

See tests/dummy.c for a minimal dummy and https://github.com/weaveworks/tcptracer-bpf for a real world example.

Examples

Sample code can be found in the examples/ directory. Examples can be run as follows:

sudo -E go run examples/bcc/perf/perf.go

Tests

go test -tags integration -v ./...
