Crate redbpf_macros 

Procedural macros to help writing eBPF programs using the redbpf-probes crate.

Overview

redbpf-macros is part of the redbpf project. Together with redbpf-probes, it provides an idiomatic Rust API to write programs that can be compiled to eBPF bytecode and executed by the linux in-kernel eBPF virtual machine.

To streamline the process of working with eBPF programs even further, redbpf also provides cargo-bpf - a cargo subcommand to simplify creating and building eBPF programs.

Example

#![no_std]
#![no_main]
use redbpf_probes::xdp::prelude::*;

// configure kernel version compatibility and license
program!(0xFFFFFFFE, "GPL");

#[xdp]
fn example_xdp_probe(ctx: XdpContext) -> XdpResult {

    // do something here

    Ok(XdpAction::Pass)
}

Macros

program

Generates program metadata.

Attribute Macros

kprobe

Attribute macro that must be used to define kprobes.

kretprobe

Attribute macro that must be used to define kretprobes.

map

Attribute macro that must be used when creating eBPF maps.

socket_filter

Attribute macro that must be used to define socket filter probes.

stream_parser

Attribute macro for defining BPF programs of stream parsers. A sockmap can be attached to the stream parser. The role of stream parsers is to find a message boundary of TCP stream and return the length of a message. If it returns proper length of a message then a stream verdict BPF program will be called.

stream_verdict

Attribute macro for defining BPF programs of stream verdicts. A sockmap can be attached to the stream verdict. The role of stream verdicts is to predicate to which socket a message should be redirected.

task_iter

Attribute macro for defining a BPF iterator of task

tc_action

Define tc action BPF programs

uprobe

Attribute macro that must be used to define uprobes.

uretprobe

Attribute macro that must be used to define uretprobes.

xdp

Attribute macro that must be used to define XDP probes.
