kernel 'asm goto' statement breaks bcc

[changbindu]

Either disable 'asm goto' in kernel or add support for llvm?

[yonghong-song]

Could you add

#define asm_volatile_goto(x...)

to the beginning of the bpf program to see whether it helps or not?

In the past, the fix likes below (in arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h)

#if defined(__clang__) && !defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO)

/*
 * Workaround for the sake of BPF compilation which utilizes kernel
 * headers, but clang does not support ASM GOTO and fails the build.
 */
#ifndef __BPF_TRACING__
#warning "Compiler lacks ASM_GOTO support. Add -D __BPF_TRACING__ to your compiler arguments"
#endif

#define static_cpu_has(bit)            boot_cpu_has(bit)

#else

/*
 * Static testing of CPU features.  Used the same as boot_cpu_has().
 * These will statically patch the target code for additional
 * performance.
 */     
static __always_inline __pure bool _static_cpu_has(u16 bit)
{                
        asm_volatile_goto("1: jmp 6f\n"
       .....
}
#endif

Find this https://reviews.llvm.org/D53765 in llvm phabricator. Looks like llvm asm-goto support still not there. Considering asm_goto is now required to compile x86, some implementation may start to use it without alternative implementation. Fixing the kernel may be viable in the long run. I will see whether we can fix on bcc side (with proper kernel help if needed).

[yonghong-song]

The following bcc change can fix the problem:

I will do a little more analysis to make sure I cover all cases before proposing a formal patch.

[changbindu]

yonghong-song's patch fixed the problem. Could you consider upstreaming it? thanks.

[yonghong-song]

Sure. Will upstream this or a similar version in the next couple of days.

[arighi]

Just a thought... wouldn't it be safer to "disable" the kernel config options that require asm goto?

Something like this:

Do you know whether there is a good way to disable asm_volatile_goto for linux/uaccess.h?

[arighi]

Yeah, unfortunately there's not an easy way to disable the usage of asm_volatile_goto() in uaccess.h. I think the only way is to patch the kernel, I'll investigate a little bit more and see what I can do.

But, in general, I'd prefer to fail with an explicit error, rather than silently suppress some asm_volatile_goto() statements, that may produce unexpected behavior. Do you agree?

[yonghong-song]

From bcc perspective, suppressing asm_volatile_goto is okay since bcc programs should not use any code involving asm_volatile_goto. All arch-specific asm's in the header file will be eventually thrown way.

In general, undefining config options is not a good idea either. Some config options have impact on kernel data structure size/layout. Undefining them could make bcc's view structure different from kernel.

We can trigger an explicit error even with suppressing asm_volatile_goto. We just defined it to some asm code which bpf does not support. This will flag out if user happens to use it. I will craft a patch based on this.

Honestly I think this is the best solution (workaround) so far, at least it's a safe approach and we can report an explicit error, instead of giving, potentially, a different "view" of the kernel because a particular statement isn't supported by the compiler.

Thanks for merging the patch!

Unfortunately it didn't work either.

[gowenpotato]

I am using 5.0.0-1018-azure, and trying to use opensnoop-bpfcc which I installed as instructed by the readme, I get the error:

error: 'asm goto' constructs are not supported yet

Do I need to use the upstream package or should this be present already?

[yonghong-song]

@ibotheperfect could you show me your source change with https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/commit/a74c0429396f3180ba5b20f4a4eefc233b681cb4 and the error message? I would like to see why it does not work?

[yonghong-song]

@gowenpotato this probably needs change like https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/commit/a74c0429396f3180ba5b20f4a4eefc233b681cb4.

That is, the helpers.h should have the following code (in trunk already):

#ifdef asm_volatile_goto
#undef asm_volatile_goto
#endif
#define asm_volatile_goto(x...) asm volatile("invalid use of asm_volatile_goto")

I had the same issue on CentOS 7.6 with 5.3 kernel from elrepo. Then I built LLVM 9, built bcc from git and things work.

installation steps mentioned here helped me http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2016-06-14/ubuntu-xenial-bcc-bpf.html

Thanks @palashkulsh, that helped!

For anyone who's looking for a quick fix that works not only for xenial but for other Ubuntu versions, the universal snippet is:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.iovisor.org/apt/$(lsb_release -c -s) $(lsb_release -c -s)-nightly main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iovisor.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y bcc-tools

Note that for some reason tools don't appear in the PATH, you'll have to find them in /usr/share/bcc/tools.

Thanks @palashkulsh, that helped!

For anyone who's looking for a quick fix that works not only for xenial but for other Ubuntu versions, the universal snippet is:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.iovisor.org/apt/$(lsb_release -c -s) $(lsb_release -c -s)-nightly main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iovisor.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y bcc-tools

Note that for some reason tools don't appear in the PATH, you'll have to find them in /usr/share/bcc/tools.

The workaround listed above - installing from the iovisor repo, does not work for me.
