filter: bpf_asm: add minimal bpf asm tool
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There are a couple of valid use cases for a minimal low-level bpf asm
like tool, for example, using/linking to libpcap is not an option, the
required BPF filters use Linux extensions that are not supported by
libpcap's compiler, a filter might be more complex and not cleanly
implementable with libpcap's compiler, particular filter codes should
be optimized differently than libpcap's internal BPF compiler does,
or for security audits of emitted BPF JIT code for prepared set of BPF
instructions resp. BPF JIT compiler development in general.

Then, in such cases writing such a filter in low-level syntax can be
an good alternative, for example, xt_bpf and cls_bpf users might have
requirements that could result in more complex filter code, or one that
cannot be expressed with libpcap (e.g. different return codes in
cls_bpf for flowids on various BPF code paths).

Moreover, BPF JIT implementors may wish to manually write test cases
in order to verify the resulting JIT image, and thus need low-level
access to BPF code generation as well. Therefore, complete the available
toolchain for BPF with this small bpf_asm helper tool for the tools/net/
directory. These 3 complementary minimal helper tools round up and
facilitate BPF development.

/*
* Minimal BPF assembler
*
* Instead of libpcap high-level filter expressions, it can be quite
* useful to define filters in low-level BPF assembler (that is kept
* close to Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson's original BPF paper).
* In particular for BPF JIT implementors, JIT security auditors, or
* just for defining BPF expressions that contain extensions which are
* not supported by compilers.
*
* How to get into it:
*
* 1) read Documentation/networking/filter.txt
* 2) Run `bpf_asm [-c] <filter-prog file>` to translate into binary
* blob that is loadable with xt_bpf, cls_bpf et al. Note: -c will
* pretty print a C-like construct.
