linux开源同步软件,bcc: BCC 是一个开源的 Linux 动态跟踪工具

BPF Compiler Collection (BCC)

BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation

programs, and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of

extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature

that was first added to Linux 3.15. Much of what BCC uses requires Linux 4.1

and above.

eBPF was described by Ingo Molnár as:

One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed by the kernel) to kprobes. This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.

BCC makes BPF programs easier to write, with kernel instrumentation in C

(and includes a C wrapper around LLVM), and front-ends in Python and lua.

It is suited for many tasks, including performance analysis and network

traffic control.

Screenshot

This example traces a disk I/O kernel function, and populates an in-kernel

power-of-2 histogram of the I/O size. For efficiency, only the histogram

summary is returned to user-level.

kbytes : count distribution

0 -> 1 : 3 | |

2 -> 3 : 0 | |

4 -> 7 : 211 |********** |

8 -> 15 : 0 | |

16 -> 31 : 0 | |

32 -> 63 : 0 | |

64 -> 127 : 1 | |

128 -> 255 : 800 |**************************************|

The above output shows a bimodal distribution, where the largest mode of

800 I/O was between 128 and 255 Kbytes in size.

See the source: bitehist.py. What this traces,

what this stores, and how the data is presented, can be entirely customized.

This shows only some of many possible capabilities.

BPF Introspection:

Tools that help to introspect BPF programs.

introspection/bps.c: List all BPF programs loaded into the kernel. 'ps' for BPF programs. Examples.

Motivation

BPF guarantees that the programs loaded into the kernel cannot crash, and

cannot run forever, but yet BPF is general purpose enough to perform many

arbitrary types of computation. Currently, it is possible to write a program in

C that will compile into a valid BPF program, yet it is vastly easier to

write a C program that will compile into invalid BPF (C is like that). The user

won't know until trying to run the program whether it was valid or not.

With a BPF-specific frontend, one should be able to write in a language and

receive feedback from the compiler on the validity as it pertains to a BPF

backend. This toolkit aims to provide a frontend that can only create valid BPF

programs while still harnessing its full flexibility.

Furthermore, current integrations with BPF have a kludgy workflow, sometimes

involving compiling directly in a linux kernel source tree. This toolchain aims

to minimize the time that a developer spends getting BPF compiled, and instead

focus on the applications that can be written and the problems that can be

solved with BPF.

The features of this toolkit include:

End-to-end BPF workflow in a shared library

A modified C language for BPF backends

Integration with llvm-bpf backend for JIT

Dynamic (un)loading of JITed programs

Support for BPF kernel hooks: socket filters, tc classifiers,

tc actions, and kprobes

Bindings for Python

Examples for socket filters, tc classifiers, and kprobes

Self-contained tools for tracing a running system

In the future, more bindings besides python will likely be supported. Feel free

to add support for the language of your choice and send a pull request!

Networking

At Red Hat Summit 2015, BCC was presented as part of a session on BPF.

A multi-host vxlan environment is simulated and a BPF program used to monitor

one of the physical interfaces. The BPF program keeps statistics on the inner

and outer IP addresses traversing the interface, and the userspace component

turns those statistics into a graph showing the traffic distribution at

multiple granularities. See the code here.
