Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] bpf: Introduce bpf user log

Commit 42c4e63ef36ea9b5ae50 (bpf: Introduce bpf generic log) is
introduced to back propagate the error message in dev_xdp_attach() to
user space when users provide buffer to receive the error message.
But it breaks uapi and exposes many log details in header file.

To overcome the shortcomings, a) make the struct bpf_generic_user_log
as one field of the union in link_create of struct bpf_attr, b) hide
log details in log_ulog_once() and let its declaration in header file.

Furthermore, it's not a good idea to reuse bpf_verifier_log infra. Or, a
warning comes up:

net/core/dev.c: In function 'bpf_xdp_link_log.isra.0':
net/core/dev.c:9093:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
9093 | }
|

As a result, a small kernel buffer, like 256 bytes, is preferred to
cache error message, then copy_to_user().

Then, unlike verifier to provide more and more error details, bpf user
log is only able to provide a simple error message limit 255 chars for
every time.

1.
You cannot break api in patch 1 and fix it in patch 2.

2.
libbpf side is missing.

3.
selftest is missing.

4.
bpf_vlog_finalize() should be used and error propagated back through
link_create.
Same api must be used: log_level, log_size, log_buf, log_true_size.

But considering all that I agree with Daniel Xu that
tracepoint would be better here.

Sorry for missing 2&3.

Tracepoint is considered. I'll change it from user log to a tracepoint.

I'll submit tracepoint patch with libbpf&selftest patches later.

Thanks,
Leon
