LSF +follows exactly the same filter code structure as BSD's BPF, so referring +to the BSD bpf.4 manpage is very helpful in creating filters. + +On Linux, BPF is much simpler than on BSD. One does not have to worry +about devices or anything like that. You simply create your filter code, +send it to the kernel via the SO_ATTACH_FILTER option and if your filter +code passes the kernel check on it, you then immediately begin filtering +data on that socket. + +You can also detach filters from your socket via the SO_DETACH_FILTER +option. This will probably not be used much since when you close a socket +that has a filter on it the filter is automagically removed. The other +less common case may be adding a different filter on the same socket where +you had another filter that is still running: the kernel takes care of +removing the old one and placing your new one in its place, assuming your +filter has passed the checks, otherwise if it fails the old filter will +remain on that socket. + +SO_LOCK_FILTER option allows to lock the filter attached to a socket. Once +set, a filter cannot be removed or changed. This allows one process to +setup a socket, attach a filter, lock it then drop privileges and be +assured that the filter will be kept until the socket is closed. + +The biggest user of this construct might be libpcap. Issuing a high-level +filter command like `tcpdump -i em1 port 22` passes through the libpcap +internal compiler that generates a structure that can eventually be loaded +via SO_ATTACH_FILTER to the kernel. `tcpdump -i em1 port 22 -ddd` +displays what is being placed into this structure. + +Although we were only speaking about sockets here, BPF in Linux is used +in many more places. There's xt_bpf for netfilter, cls_bpf in the kernel +qdisc layer, SECCOMP-BPF (SECure COMPuting [1]), and lots of other places +such as team driver, PTP code, etc where BPF is being used. + + [1] Documentation/prctl/seccomp_filter.txt + +Original BPF paper: + +Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson. 1993.

The rest will +be dropped for this socket. + +The setsockopt(2) call to SO_DETACH_FILTER doesn't need any arguments +and SO_LOCK_FILTER for preventing the filter to be detached, takes an +integer value with 0 or 1. + +Note that socket filters are not restricted to PF_PACKET sockets only, +but can also be used on other socket families. + +Summary of system calls: + + * setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &val, sizeof(val)); + * setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DETACH_FILTER, &val, sizeof(val)); + * setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LOCK_FILTER, &val, sizeof(val)); + +Normally, most use cases for socket filtering on packet sockets will be +covered by libpcap in high-level syntax, so as an application developer +you should stick to that. libpcap wraps its own layer around all that. + +Unless i) using/linking to libpcap is not an option, ii) the required BPF +filters use Linux extensions that are not supported by libpcap's compiler, +iii) a filter might be more complex and not cleanly implementable with +libpcap's compiler, or iv) particular filter codes should be optimized +differently than libpcap's internal compiler does; then in such cases +writing such a filter "by hand" can be of an 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 for various code paths). Moreover, BPF JIT +implementors may wish to manually write test cases and thus need low-level +access to BPF code as well. + +BPF engine and instruction set +------------------------------ + +Under tools/net/ there's a small helper tool called bpf_asm which can +be used to write low-level filters for example scenarios mentioned in the +previous section. Asm-like syntax mentioned here has been implemented in +bpf_asm and will be used for further explanations (instead of dealing with +less readable opcodes directly, principles are the same). The syntax is +closely modelled after Steven McCanne's and Van Jacobson's BPF paper. + +The BPF architecture consists of the following basic elements: + + Element Description + + A 32 bit wide accumulator + X 32 bit wide X register + M[] 16 x 32 bit wide misc registers aka "scratch memory + store", addressable from 0 to 15 + +A program, that is translated by bpf_asm into "opcodes" is an array that +consists of the following elements (as already mentioned): + + op:16, jt:8, jf:8, k:32 + +The element op is a 16 bit wide opcode that has a particular instruction +encoded. jt and jf are two 8 bit wide jump targets, one for condition +"jump if true", the other one "jump if false". Eventually, element k +contains a miscellaneous argument that can be interpreted in different +ways depending on the given instruction in op. + +The instruction set consists of load, store, branch, alu, miscellaneous +and return instructions that are also represented in bpf_asm syntax. This +table lists all bpf_asm instructions available resp. what their underlying +opcodes as defined in linux/filter.h stand for: + + Instruction Addressing mode Description + + ld 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 Load word into A + ldi 4 Load word into A + ldh 1, 2 Load half-word into A + ldb 1, 2 Load byte into A + ldx 3, 4, 5, 10 Load word into X + ldxi 4 Load word into X + ldxb 5 Load byte into X + + st 3 Store A into M[] + stx 3 Store X into M[] + + jmp 6 Jump to label + ja 6 Jump to label + jeq 7, 8 Jump on k == A + jneq 8 Jump on k != A + jne 8 Jump on k != A + jlt 8 Jump on k < A + jle 8 Jump on k <= A + jgt 7, 8 Jump on k > A + jge 7, 8 Jump on k >= A + jset 7, 8 Jump on k & A + + add 0, 4 A + <x> + sub 0, 4 A - <x> + mul 0, 4 A * <x> + div 0, 4 A / <x> + mod 0, 4 A % <x> + neg 0, 4 !A + and 0, 4 A & <x> + or 0, 4 A | <x> + xor 0, 4 A ^ <x> + lsh 0, 4 A << <x> + rsh 0, 4 A >> <x> + + tax Copy A into X + txa Copy X into A + + ret 4, 9 Return + +The next table shows addressing formats from the 2nd column: + + Addressing mode Syntax Description + + 0 x/%x Register X + 1 [k] BHW at byte offset k in the packet + 2 [x + k] BHW at the offset X + k in the packet + 3 M[k] Word at offset k in M[] + 4 #k Literal value stored in k + 5 4*([k]&0xf) Lower nibble * 4 at byte offset k in the packet + 6 L Jump label L + 7 #k,Lt,Lf Jump to Lt if true, otherwise jump to Lf + 8 #k,Lt Jump to Lt if predicate is true + 9 a/%a Accumulator A + 10 extension BPF extension + +The Linux kernel also has a couple of BPF extensions that are used along +with the class of load instructions by "overloading" the k argument with +a negative offset + a particular extension offset.

For that purpose, there's a small tool called +bpf_dbg under tools/net/ in the kernel source directory.
