lib.rs

//! Types shared between the eBPF program (`linprov-ebpf`) and the userspace
//! daemon (`linprov`). Everything here is `repr(C)` and Pod-friendly so it
//! survives a round-trip through a ring buffer and a kernel xattr.
//!
//! The crate compiles `no_std` by default (for the BPF target). Enable the
//! `user` feature in userspace to pull in `bytemuck::Pod` / `Zeroable`
//! derives on the wire types.
//!
//! Wire shapes at a glance:
//!
//! - [`OriginRecord`] is what the daemon stores in the xattr and in the BPF
//!   `INODE_MARKS` map. BPF writes most of it in `file_open`; userspace
//!   augments `creator_path` from `/proc/$pid/exe`.
//! - [`Event`] is the ringbuf record streamed from BPF to userspace.
//! - [`AllowRule`] is one allowlist rule, packed into the BPF
//!   `ALLOW_RULES` array. String dims are stored as [`fnv_hash`] values
//!   so the BPF side can compare without carrying full byte arrays.
//!
//! ```
//! use linprov_common::{fnv_hash, dim};
//!
//! // Both sides hash strings the same way; same input → same u64.
//! assert_eq!(fnv_hash("/usr/bin/curl"), fnv_hash("/usr/bin/curl"));
//! assert_ne!(fnv_hash("/usr/bin/curl"), fnv_hash("/usr/bin/wget"));
//!
//! // Dimension bits are independent flags on AllowRule::flags.
//! let two_dim = dim::CREATOR_UID | dim::CREATOR_COMM;
//! assert_eq!(two_dim.count_ones(), 2);
//! ```
