>From b7f5af5c1513b6e89fc5b68ddb1ad65e4fbede02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carlos Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2019 13:09:35 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH bpf-next 2/3] BPF: New helper to obtain namespace data from current task This helper obtains the active namespace from current and returns pid, tgid, device and namespace id as seen from that namespace, allowing to instrument a process inside a container. Device is read from /proc/self/ns/pid, as in the future it's possible that different pid_ns files may belong to different devices, according to the discussion between Eric Biederman and Yonghong in 2017 linux plumbers conference. Currently bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(), is used to do pid filtering in bcc's scripts but this helper returns the pid as seen by the root namespace which is fine when a bcc script is not executed inside a container. When the process of interest is inside a container, pid filtering will not work if bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() is used. This helper addresses this limitation returning the pid as it's seen by the current namespace where the script is executing. This helper has the same use cases as bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() as it can be used to do pid filtering even inside a container. For example a bcc script using bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() (tools/funccount.py): u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() >> 32; if (pid != ) return 0; Could be modified to use bpf_get_current_pidns_info() as follows: struct bpf_pidns pidns; bpf_get_current_pidns_info(&pidns, sizeof(struct bpf_pidns)); u32 pid = pidns.tgid; u32 nsid = pidns.nsid; if ((pid != ) && (nsid != )) return 0; To find out the name PID namespace id of a process, you could use this command: $ ps -h -o pidns -p Or this other command: $ ls -Li /proc//ns/pid Signed-off-by: Carlos Antonio Neira Bustos --- tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_helpers.h | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h b/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h index 3c38ac9a92a7..5c7e517a59a6 100644 --- a/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h +++ b/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h @@ -2366,6 +2366,18 @@ union bpf_attr { * current value is ect (ECN capable).
