Functions ¶

func CollectGlobalTypes ¶

func CollectGlobalTypes(spec *ebpf.CollectionSpec) []btf.Type

CollectGlobalTypes finds all types which are used in the global scope.

This currently includes the types of variables, map keys and values.

func Compile ¶

func Compile(args CompileArgs) error

Compile C to a BPF ELF file.

func FindTarget ¶

func FindTarget(id string) (Target, GoArches, error)

FindTarget turns a list of identifiers into targets and their respective GoArches.

The following are valid identifiers:

• bpf: compile generic BPF for host endianness
• bpfel: compile generic BPF for little endian
• bpfeb: compile generic BPF for big endian
• native: compile BPF for host target
• $GOARCH: compile BPF for $GOARCH target

Generic BPF can run on any target goarch with the correct endianness, but doesn't have access to some arch specific tracing functionality.

func Generate ¶

func Generate(args GenerateArgs) error

Generate bindings for a BPF ELF file.

func TargetsByGoArch ¶

func TargetsByGoArch() map[GoArch]Target

TargetsByGoArch returns all supported targets.

Types ¶

type CompileArgs ¶

type CompileArgs struct {
	// Which compiler to use.
	CC string
	// Command used to strip DWARF from the ELF.
	Strip string
	// Flags to pass to the compiler.
	Flags []string
	// Absolute working directory
	Workdir string
	// Absolute input file name
	Source string
	// Absolute output file name
	Dest string
	// Target to compile for, defaults to compiling generic BPF in host endianness.
	Target           Target
	DisableStripping bool
}

type GenerateArgs ¶

type GenerateArgs struct {
	// Package of the resulting file.
	Package string
	// The prefix of all names declared at the top-level.
	Stem string
	// Build Constraints included in the resulting file.
	Constraints constraint.Expr
	// Maps to be emitted.
	Maps []string
	// Variables to be emitted.
	Variables []string
	// Programs to be emitted.
	Programs []string
	// Types to be emitted.
	Types []btf.Type
	// Filename of the object to embed.
	ObjectFile string
	// Output to write template to.
	Output io.Writer
	// Function which transforms the input into a valid go identifier. Uses the default behaviour if nil
	Identifier func(string) string
}

type GoArch ¶

type GoArch string

GoArch is a Go arch string.

See https://go.dev/doc/install/source#environment for valid GOARCHes when GOOS=linux.

type GoArches ¶

type GoArches []GoArch

func (GoArches) Constraint ¶

func (arches GoArches) Constraint() constraint.Expr

Constraints is satisfied when GOARCH is any of the arches.

type Target ¶

type Target struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Target) IsGeneric ¶

func (tgt *Target) IsGeneric() bool

IsGeneric returns true if the target will compile to generic BPF.

func (*Target) ObsoleteSuffix ¶

func (tgt *Target) ObsoleteSuffix() string

ObsoleteSuffix returns an obsolete suffix for a subset of targets.

It's used to work around an old bug and should not be used in new code.

func (*Target) Suffix ¶

func (tgt *Target) Suffix() string

Suffix returns a a string suitable for appending to a file name to identify the target.
