bpftool: Use simpler indentation in source rST for documentation

Browse Source 
The rST manual pages for bpftool would use a mix of tabs and spaces for
indentation. While this is the norm in C code, this is rather unusual
for rST documents, and over time we've seen many contributors use a
wrong level of indentation for documentation update.

Let's fix bpftool's indentation in docs once and for all:

- Let's use spaces, that are more common in rST files.
- Remove one level of indentation for the synopsis, the command
  description, and the "see also" section. As a result, all sections
  start with the same indentation level in the generated man page.
- Rewrap the paragraphs after the changes.

There is no content change in this patch, only indentation and
rewrapping changes. The wrapping in the generated source files for the
manual pages is changed, but the pages displayed with "man" remain the
same, apart from the adjusted indentation level on relevant sections.

[ Quentin: rebased on bpf-next, removed indent level for command
  description and options, updated synopsis, command summary, and "see
  also" sections. ]

DESCRIPTION
===========
**bpftool btf { show | list }** [**id** *BTF_ID*]
Show information about loaded BTF objects. If a BTF ID is
specified, show information only about given BTF object,
otherwise list all BTF objects currently loaded on the

**bpftool btf { show | list }** [**id** *BTF_ID*]
Show information about loaded BTF objects. If a BTF ID is specified, show
information only about given BTF object, otherwise list all BTF objects
currently loaded on the system.
Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BTF
objects. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
information as well.

-B, --base-btf *FILE*
Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used
with BTF objects for kernel modules. To avoid duplicating
all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF objects for
modules are "split", they are built incrementally on top of
the kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference
should usually point to the kernel BTF.

to autodetect the path for the base object, and passing
this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed

DESCRIPTION
===========
**bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related

JIT status, eBPF program types availability, eBPF helper
functions availability, and more.
**bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related parameters, such
as availability of the **bpf**\ () system call, JIT status, eBPF program
types availability, eBPF helper functions availability, and more.
By default, bpftool **does not run probes** for
**bpf_probe_write_user**\ () and **bpf_trace_printk**\()
helpers which print warnings to kernel logs. To enable them
and run all probes, the **full** keyword should be used.
By default, bpftool **does not run probes** for **bpf_probe_write_user**\
() and **bpf_trace_printk**\() helpers which print warnings to kernel logs.
To enable them and run all probes, the **full** keyword should be used.
If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
**#define** macros that are ready to be included in a C
header file, for example. If, additionally, **prefix** is
used to define a *PREFIX*, the provided string will be used
as a prefix to the names of the macros: this can be used to
avoid conflicts on macro names when including the output of
this command as a header file.

Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is
specified, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.

the kernel is the default behaviour.
When the **unprivileged** keyword is used, bpftool will dump
only the features available to a user who does not have the
**CAP_SYS_ADMIN** capability set. The features available in
that case usually represent a small subset of the parameters
supported by the system. Unprivileged users MUST use the
**unprivileged** keyword: This is to avoid misdetection if
bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root, for example. This
keyword is unavailable if bpftool was compiled without
libcap.

DESCRIPTION
===========
**bpftool gen object** *OUTPUT_FILE* *INPUT_FILE* [*INPUT_FILE*...]
Statically link (combine) together one or more *INPUT_FILE*'s
into a single resulting *OUTPUT_FILE*. All the files involved
are BPF ELF object files.
**bpftool gen object** *OUTPUT_FILE* *INPUT_FILE* [*INPUT_FILE*...]
Statically link (combine) together one or more *INPUT_FILE*'s into a single
resulting *OUTPUT_FILE*. All the files involved are BPF ELF object files.
The rules of BPF static linking are mostly the same as for
user-space object files, but in addition to combining data
and instruction sections, .BTF and .BTF.ext (if present in
any of the input files) data are combined together. .BTF
data is deduplicated, so all the common types across
*INPUT_FILE*'s will only be represented once in the resulting
BTF information.

BPF static linking allows to partition BPF source code into
individually compiled files that are then linked into
a single resulting BPF object file, which can be used to
generated BPF skeleton (with **gen skeleton** command) or
passed directly into **libbpf** (using **bpf_object__open()**
family of APIs).

**bpftool gen skeleton** *FILE*
Generate BPF skeleton C header file for a given *FILE*.

BPF skeleton is an alternative interface to existing libbpf
APIs for working with BPF objects. Skeleton code is intended
to significantly shorten and simplify code to load and work
with BPF programs from userspace side. Generated code is
tailored to specific input BPF object *FILE*, reflecting its
structure by listing out available maps, program, variables,
etc. Skeleton eliminates the need to lookup mentioned
components by name. Instead, if skeleton instantiation
succeeds, they are populated in skeleton structure as valid
libbpf types (e.g., **struct bpf_map** pointer) and can be
passed to existing generic libbpf APIs.

In addition to simple and reliable access to maps and
programs, skeleton provides a storage for BPF links (**struct
bpf_link**) for each BPF program within BPF object. When
requested, supported BPF programs will be automatically
attached and resulting BPF links stored for further use by
user in pre-allocated fields in skeleton struct. For BPF
programs that can't be automatically attached by libbpf,
user can attach them manually, but store resulting BPF link
in per-program link field. All such set up links will be
automatically destroyed on BPF skeleton destruction. This
eliminates the need for users to manage links manually and
rely on libbpf support to detach programs and free up
resources.

Another facility provided by BPF skeleton is an interface to
global variables of all supported kinds: mutable, read-only,
as well as extern ones. This interface allows to pre-setup
initial values of variables before BPF object is loaded and
verified by kernel. For non-read-only variables, the same
interface can be used to fetch values of global variables on
userspace side, even if they are modified by BPF code.

the same interface can be used to fetch values of global variables on

During skeleton generation, contents of source BPF object
*FILE* is embedded within generated code and is thus not
necessary to keep around. This ensures skeleton and BPF
object file are matching 1-to-1 and always stay in sync.
Generated code is dual-licensed under LGPL-2.1 and
BSD-2-Clause licenses.

It is a design goal and guarantee that skeleton interfaces
are interoperable with generic libbpf APIs. User should
always be able to use skeleton API to create and load BPF
object, and later use libbpf APIs to keep working with
specific maps, programs, etc.

As part of skeleton, few custom functions are generated.
Each of them is prefixed with object name. Object name can
either be derived from object file name, i.e., if BPF object
file name is **example.o**, BPF object name will be
**example**. Object name can be also specified explicitly
through **name** *OBJECT_NAME* parameter. The following
custom functions are provided (assuming **example** as
the object name):

- **example__attach** and **example__detach**
This pair of functions allow to attach and detach,
correspondingly, already loaded BPF object. Only BPF
programs of types supported by libbpf for auto-attachment
will be auto-attached and their corresponding BPF links
instantiated. For other BPF programs, user can manually
create a BPF link and assign it to corresponding fields in
skeleton struct. **example__detach** will detach both
links created automatically, as well as those populated by
user manually.

If BPF object has global variables, corresponding structs
with memory layout corresponding to global data data section
layout will be created. Currently supported ones are: *.data*,
*.bss*, *.rodata*, and *.kconfig* structs/data sections.
These data sections/structs can be used to set up initial
values of variables, if set before **example__load**.
Afterwards, if target kernel supports memory-mapped BPF
arrays, same structs can be used to fetch and update
(non-read-only) data from userspace, with same simplicity
as for BPF side.

This functionality is useful when a library is included into a
larger BPF program. A subskeleton for the library would have
access to all objects and globals defined in it, without
having to know about the larger program.

Usually, an external BTF file is built from existing kernel
DWARF data using pahole. It contains all the types used by
its respective kernel image and, because of that, is big.

The min_core_btf feature builds smaller BTF files, customized
to one or multiple eBPF objects, so they can be distributed
together with an eBPF CO-RE based application, turning the
application portable to different kernel versions.

A bpf iterator combines a kernel iterating of
particular kernel data (e.g., tasks, bpf_maps, etc.)
and a bpf program called for each kernel data object
(e.g., one task, one bpf_map, etc.). User space can
*read* kernel iterator output through *read()* syscall.

Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.

Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
**bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
*OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
**type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
inferred from section names.
By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse
of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each
time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map
to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to
use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
If **offload_dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded
onto given networking device (offload).
If **xdpmeta_dev** *NAME* is specified program will become
device-bound without offloading, this facilitates access
to XDP metadata.
Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.

will become device-bound without offloading, this facilitates access to XDP
metadata. Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all maps
under *MAP_DIR* directory.
If **autoattach** is specified program will be attached
before pin. In that case, only the link (representing the
program attached to its hook) is pinned, not the program as
such, so the path won't show in **bpftool prog show -f**,
only show in **bpftool link show -f**. Also, this only works
when bpftool (libbpf) is able to infer all necessary
information from the object file, in particular, it's not
supported for all program types. If a program does not
support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
for that program instead.

**bpftool prog tracelog**
Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper.
This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).

Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
test run are printed out to the console.
**bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure for BPF,
meaning that the program works on the data and context provided by the
user, and not on actual packets or monitored functions etc. Return value
and duration for the test run are printed out to the console.
Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
**ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
**ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
should be more than enough for most cases.

Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
context printed to files correspond to the last of those
runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
average over all runs performed by the command.
