Module aya::programs[−][src]

Expand description

eBPF program types.

eBPF programs are loaded inside the kernel and attached to one or more hook points. Whenever the hook points are reached, the programs are executed.

Loading and attaching programs

When you call Bpf::load_file or Bpf::load, all the programs included in the object code are parsed and relocated. Programs are not loaded automatically though, since often you will need to do some application specific setup before you can actually load them.

In order to load and attach a program, you need to retrieve it using Bpf::program_mut, then call the load() and attach() methods, for example:

use aya::{Bpf, programs::KProbe};
use std::convert::TryInto;

let mut bpf = Bpf::load_file("ebpf_programs.o")?;
// intercept_wakeups is the name of the program we want to load
let program: &mut KProbe = bpf.program_mut("intercept_wakeups")?.try_into()?;
program.load()?;
// intercept_wakeups will be called every time try_to_wake_up() is called
// inside the kernel
program.attach("try_to_wake_up", 0)?;

The signature of the attach() method varies depending on what kind of program you’re trying to attach.
