Unknown bpf syscall `cmd=36` (BPF_TOKEN_CREATE)

[mozzieongit]

Hi, I'm trying to debug a program using BPF with libxdp and libbpf, but rr fails with an unknown bpf syscall. In this case it seems to be BPF_TOKEN_CREATE. Looking at the rr source code (src/record_syscall.cc:prepare_bpf()) and the strace of the example program, I assume the following bpf calls might fail too:

• BPF_PROG_BIND_MAP
• BPF_MAP_FREEZE
• BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD

(and I found another call that fails: cmd=15 BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD but it is not used by the example below)

I reproduced this with a minimal-ish example:

main.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <xdp/libxdp.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <unistd.h>

const char *interface_name = "af";
const char *filename = "kern.o";

int interface_index;
int xsk_map_fd;
int bpf_prog_fd;
struct xdp_program *bpf_prog;

static int load_xdp_program_and_map() {
    struct bpf_map *map;

    DECLARE_LIBXDP_OPTS(bpf_object_open_opts, opts);
    bpf_prog = xdp_program__open_file(filename, NULL, &opts);

    putenv("LIBXDP_SKIP_DISPATCHER=1");
    xdp_program__attach(bpf_prog, interface_index, XDP_MODE_UNSPEC, 0);
    /* fails here ^ */

    /* uses more syscalls that I assume would fail too, so I kept this */
    map = bpf_object__find_map_by_name(xdp_program__bpf_obj(bpf_prog), "xsks_map");
    xsk_map_fd = bpf_map__fd(map);
    return 0;
}

static void unload_xdp_program() {
	DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_xdp_attach_opts, bpf_opts,
	                    .old_prog_fd = bpf_prog_fd);
	bpf_xdp_detach(interface_index, 0, &bpf_opts);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    interface_index = if_nametoindex(interface_name);

    load_xdp_program_and_map();
    /* sleep(5); */
    unload_xdp_program();
    return 0;
}

kern.c

#include <linux/bpf.h>
#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>

struct {
  __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP);
  __type(key, __u32);
  __type(value, __u32);
  __uint(max_entries, 64);
} xsks_map SEC(".maps");

SEC("xdp")
int xdp_nothing(struct xdp_md *ctx) {
  return XDP_PASS;
}
