Struct aya::programs::KProbe

pub struct KProbe { /* private fields */ }

A kernel probe.

Kernel probes are eBPF programs that can be attached to almost any function inside the kernel. They can be of two kinds:

• kprobe: get attached to the start of the target functions
• kretprobe: get attached to the return address of the target functions

Minimum kernel version

The minimum kernel version required to use this feature is 4.1.

Examples

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

let program: &mut KProbe = bpf.program_mut("intercept_wakeups").unwrap().try_into()?;
program.load()?;
program.attach("try_to_wake_up", 0)?;

Implementations

impl KProbe

pub fn load(&mut self) -> Result<(), ProgramError>

Loads the program inside the kernel.

See also Program::load.

pub fn kind(&self) -> ProbeKind

Returns KProbe if the program is a kprobe, or KRetProbe if the program is a kretprobe.

pub fn attach(
    &mut self,
    fn_name: &str,
    offset: u64
) -> Result<LinkRef, ProgramError>

Attaches the program.

Attaches the probe to the given function name inside the kernel. If offset is non-zero, it is added to the address of the target function.

If the program is a kprobe, it is attached to the start address of the target function. Conversely if the program is a kretprobe, it is attached to the return address of the target function.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for KProbe

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl ProgramFd for KProbe

fn fd(&self) -> Option<RawFd>

Returns the RawFd of the program if it has been loaded, or None

impl ProgramFd for &mut KProbe

fn fd(&self) -> Option<RawFd>

Returns the RawFd of the program if it has been loaded, or None
