DESCRIPTION
bpftool map { show | list } [MAP]
Show information about loaded maps. If MAP is specified show information only
about given maps, otherwise list all maps currently loaded on the system. In
case of name, MAP may match several maps which will all be shown.
Output will start with map ID followed by map type and zero or more named
attributes (depending on kernel version).
Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about processes that
hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF maps. On such kernels bpftool will
automatically emit this information as well.
bpftool map create FILE type TYPE key KEY_SIZE value VALUE_SIZE entries MAX_ENTRIES
name NAME [flags FLAGS] [inner_map MAP] [dev NAME]
Create a new map with given parameters and pin it to bpffs as FILE.
FLAGS should be an integer which is the combination of desired flags, e.g. 1024
for BPF_F_MMAPABLE (see bpf.h UAPI header for existing flags).
To create maps of type array-of-maps or hash-of-maps, the inner_map keyword must
be used to pass an inner map. The kernel needs it to collect metadata related to
the inner maps that the new map will work with.
Keyword dev expects a network interface name, and is used to request hardware
offload for the map.
bpftool map dump MAP
Dump all entries in a given MAP. In case of name, MAP may match several maps
which will all be dumped.
bpftool map update MAP [key DATA] [value VALUE] [UPDATE_FLAGS]
Update map entry for a given KEY.
UPDATE_FLAGS can be one of: any update existing entry or add if doesn't exit;
exist update only if entry already exists; noexist update only if entry doesn't
exist.
If the hex keyword is provided in front of the bytes sequence, the bytes are
parsed as hexadecimal values, even if no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is
not provided, then the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
(for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
bpftool map lookup MAP [key DATA]
Lookup key in the map.
bpftool map getnext MAP [key DATA]
Get next key. If key is not specified, get first key.
bpftool map delete MAP key DATA
Remove entry from the map.
bpftool map pin MAP FILE
Pin map MAP as FILE.
Note: FILE must be located in bpffs mount. It must not contain a dot character
('.'), which is reserved for future extensions of bpffs.
bpftool map event_pipe MAP [cpu N index M]
Read events from a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map.
Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump output of any
bpf_perf_event_output() call in the kernel. By default read the number of CPUs
on the system and install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index in
the array.
If cpu and index are specified, install perf ring for given cpu at index in the
array (single ring).
Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently replace any
existing ring. Any other application will stop receiving events if it installed
its rings earlier.
bpftool map peek MAP
Peek next value in the queue or stack.
bpftool map push MAP value VALUE
Push VALUE onto the stack.
bpftool map pop MAP
Pop and print value from the stack.
bpftool map enqueue MAP value VALUE
Enqueue VALUE into the queue.
bpftool map dequeue MAP
Dequeue and print value from the queue.
bpftool map freeze MAP
Freeze the map as read-only from user space. Entries from a frozen map can not
longer be updated or deleted with the bpf() system call. This operation is not
reversible, and the map remains immutable from user space until its destruction.
However, read and write permissions for BPF programs to the map remain
unchanged.
bpftool map help
Print short help message.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print short help message (similar to bpftool help).
-V, --version
Print version number (similar to bpftool version), and optional features that
were included when bpftool was compiled. Optional features include linking
against libbfd to provide the disassembler for JIT-ted programs (bpftool prog
dump jited) and usage of BPF skeletons (some features like bpftool prog profile
or showing pids associated to BPF objects may rely on it).
-j, --json
Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this option has no
effect.
-p, --pretty
Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies -j.
-d, --debug
Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This includes logs from
libbpf as well as from the verifier, when attempting to load programs.
-f, --bpffs
Show file names of pinned maps.
-n, --nomount
Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system (such as tracefs
or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
EXAMPLES
# bpftool map show
10: hash name some_map flags 0x0
key 4B value 8B max_entries 2048 memlock 167936B
pids systemd(1)
The following three commands are equivalent:
# bpftool map update id 10 key hex 20 c4 b7 00 value hex 0f ff ff ab 01 02 03 4c
# bpftool map update id 10 key 0x20 0xc4 0xb7 0x00 value 0x0f 0xff 0xff 0xab 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x4c
# bpftool map update id 10 key 32 196 183 0 value 15 255 255 171 1 2 3 76
# bpftool map lookup id 10 key 0 1 2 3
key: 00 01 02 03 value: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
# bpftool map dump id 10
key: 00 01 02 03 value: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
key: 0d 00 07 00 value: 02 00 00 00 01 02 03 04
Found 2 elements
# bpftool map getnext id 10 key 0 1 2 3
key:
00 01 02 03
next key:
0d 00 07 00
# mount -t bpf none /sys/fs/bpf/
# bpftool map pin id 10 /sys/fs/bpf/map
# bpftool map del pinned /sys/fs/bpf/map key 13 00 07 00
Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references hold by a
program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the programs used for
tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the entry-point program. Below is an
example for this use case: we load a program defining a prog array map, and with a main
function that contains a tail call to other programs that can be used either to "process"
packets or to "debug" processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF
virtual file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog array
maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update would be lost as
soon as bpftool exits).
