+================
+LSM BPF Programs
+================
+
+These BPF programs allow runtime instrumentation of the LSM hooks by privileged
+users to implement system-wide MAC (Mandatory Access Control) and Audit
+policies using eBPF.
+
+Structure
+---------
+
+The example shows an eBPF program that can be attached to the ``file_mprotect``
+LSM hook:
+
+.. c:function:: int file_mprotect(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long reqprot, unsigned long prot);
+
+Other LSM hooks which can be instrumented can be found in
+``include/linux/lsm_hooks.h``.
+
+eBPF programs that use :doc:`/bpf/btf` do not need to include kernel headers
+for accessing information from the attached eBPF program's context. They can
+simply declare the structures in the eBPF program and only specify the fields
+that need to be accessed.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct mm_struct {
+ unsigned long start_brk, brk, start_stack;
+ } __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
+
+ struct vm_area_struct {
+ unsigned long start_brk, brk, start_stack;
+ unsigned long vm_start, vm_end;
+ struct mm_struct *vm_mm;
+ } __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
+
+
+.. note:: The order of the fields is irrelevant.
+
+This can be further simplified (if one has access to the BTF information at
+build time) by generating the ``vmlinux.h`` with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # bpftool btf dump file <path-to-btf-vmlinux> format c > vmlinux.h
+
+.. note:: ``path-to-btf-vmlinux`` can be ``/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux`` if the
+ build environment matches the environment the BPF programs are
+ deployed in.
+
+The ``vmlinux.h`` can then simply be included in the BPF programs without
+requiring the definition of the types.
+
+The eBPF programs can be declared using the``BPF_PROG``
+macros defined in `tools/lib/bpf/bpf_tracing.h`_. In this
+example:
+
+ * ``"lsm/file_mprotect"`` indicates the LSM hook that the program must
+ be attached to
+ * ``mprotect_audit`` is the name of the eBPF program
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ SEC("lsm/file_mprotect")
+ int BPF_PROG(mprotect_audit, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
+ unsigned long reqprot, unsigned long prot, int ret)
+ {
+ /* ret is the return value from the previous BPF program
+ * or 0 if it's the first hook.
+ */
+ if (ret != 0)
+ return ret;
+
+ int is_heap;
+
+ is_heap = (vma->vm_start >= vma->vm_mm->start_brk &&
+ vma->vm_end <= vma->vm_mm->brk);
+
+ /* Return an -EPERM or write information to the perf events buffer
+ * for auditing
+ */
+ if (is_heap)
+ return -EPERM;
+ }
+
+The ``__attribute__((preserve_access_index))`` is a clang feature that allows
+the BPF verifier to update the offsets for the access at runtime using the
+:doc:`/bpf/btf` information. Since the BPF verifier is aware of the types, it
+also validates all the accesses made to the various types in the eBPF program.
+
+Loading
+-------
+
+eBPF programs can be loaded with the :manpage:`bpf(2)` syscall's
+``BPF_PROG_LOAD`` operation:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct bpf_object *obj;
+
+ obj = bpf_object__open("./my_prog.o");
+ bpf_object__load(obj);
+
+This can be simplified by using a skeleton header generated by ``bpftool``:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # bpftool gen skeleton my_prog.o > my_prog.skel.h
+
+and the program can be loaded by including ``my_prog.skel.h`` and using
+the generated helper, ``my_prog__open_and_load``.
+
+Attachment to LSM Hooks
+-----------------------
+
+The LSM allows attachment of eBPF programs as LSM hooks using :manpage:`bpf(2)`
+syscall's ``BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN`` operation or more simply by
+using the libbpf helper ``bpf_program__attach_lsm``.
+
+The program can be detached from the LSM hook by *destroying* the ``link``
+link returned by ``bpf_program__attach_lsm`` using ``bpf_link__destroy``.
+
+One can also use the helpers generated in ``my_prog.skel.h`` i.e.
+``my_prog__attach`` for attachment and ``my_prog__destroy`` for cleaning up.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+An example eBPF program can be found in
+`tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/lsm.c`_ and the corresponding
+userspace code in `tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/test_lsm.c`_

+BPF drgn tools
+==============
+
+drgn scripts is a convenient and easy to use mechanism to retrieve arbitrary
+kernel data structures. drgn is not relying on kernel UAPI to read the data.
+Instead it's reading directly from ``/proc/kcore`` or vmcore and pretty prints
+the data based on DWARF debug information from vmlinux.
+
+This document describes BPF related drgn tools.
+
+See `drgn/tools`_ for all tools available at the moment and `drgn/doc`_ for
+more details on drgn itself.
+
+bpf_inspect.py
+--------------
+
+Description
+===========
+
+`bpf_inspect.py`_ is a tool intended to inspect BPF programs and maps. It can
+iterate over all programs and maps in the system and print basic information
+about these objects, including id, type and name.
+
+The main use-case `bpf_inspect.py`_ covers is to show BPF programs of types
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT`` and ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING`` attached to other BPF
+programs via ``freplace``/``fentry``/``fexit`` mechanisms, since there is no
+user-space API to get this information.
+
+Getting started
+===============
+
+List BPF programs (full names are obtained from BTF)::
+
+ % sudo bpf_inspect.py prog
+ 27: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT tracepoint__tcp__tcp_send_reset
+ 4632: BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR tw_ipt_bind
+ 49464: BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT raw_tracepoint__sched_process_exit
+
+List BPF maps::
+
+ % sudo bpf_inspect.py map
+ 2577: BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH tw_ipt_vips
+ 4050: BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE stack_traces
+ 4069: BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY ned_dctcp_cntr
+
+Find BPF programs attached to BPF program ``test_pkt_access``::
+
+ % sudo bpf_inspect.py p | grep test_pkt_access
+ 650: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS test_pkt_access
+ 654: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING test_main linked:[650->25: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access()]
+ 655: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING test_subprog1 linked:[650->29: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog1()]
+ 656: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING test_subprog2 linked:[650->31: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog2()]
+ 657: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING test_subprog3 linked:[650->21: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog3()]
+ 658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT new_get_skb_len linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
+ 659: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT new_get_skb_ifindex linked:[650->23: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_ifindex()]
+ 660: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT new_get_constant linked:[650->19: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_constant()]
+
+It can be seen that there is a program ``test_pkt_access``, id 650 and there
+are multiple other tracing and ext programs attached to functions in
+``test_pkt_access``.
+
+For example the line::
+
+ 658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT new_get_skb_len linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
+
+, means that BPF program id 658, type ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT``, name
+``new_get_skb_len`` replaces (``BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE``) function ``get_skb_len()``
+that has BTF id 16 in BPF program id 650, name ``test_pkt_access``.
+
+Getting help:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ % sudo bpf_inspect.py
+ usage: bpf_inspect.py [-h] {prog,p,map,m} ...
+
+ drgn script to list BPF programs or maps and their properties
+ unavailable via kernel API.
+
+ See https://github.com/osandov/drgn/ for more details on drgn.
+
+ optional arguments:
+ -h, --help show this help message and exit
+
+ subcommands:
+ {prog,p,map,m}
+ prog (p) list BPF programs
+ map (m) list BPF maps
+
+Customization
+=============
+
+The script is intended to be customized by developers to print relevant
+information about BPF programs, maps and other objects.
+
+For example, to print ``struct bpf_prog_aux`` for BPF program id 53077:
