91. Introduction
10===============
11
12``struct cpumask`` is a bitmap data structure in the kernel whose indices
13reflect the CPUs on the system. Commonly, cpumasks are used to track which CPUs
14a task is affinitized to, but they can also be used to e.g. track which cores
15are associated with a scheduling domain, which cores on a machine are idle,
16etc.
17
18BPF provides programs with a set of :ref:`kfuncs-header-label` that can be
19used to allocate, mutate, query, and free cpumasks.
20
212. BPF cpumask objects
22======================
23
24There are two different types of cpumasks that can be used by BPF programs.
25
262.1 ``struct bpf_cpumask *``
27----------------------------
28
29``struct bpf_cpumask *`` is a cpumask that is allocated by BPF, on behalf of a
30BPF program, and whose lifecycle is entirely controlled by BPF. These cpumasks
31are RCU-protected, can be mutated, can be used as kptrs, and can be safely cast
32to a ``struct cpumask *``.
33
342.1.1 ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` lifecycle
35----------------------------------------
36
37A ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` is allocated, acquired, and released, using the
38following functions:
39
40.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
41 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_create
42
43.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
44 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_acquire
45
46.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
47 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_release
48
49For example:
50
51.. code-block:: c
52
53 struct cpumask_map_value {
03b77e17 54 struct bpf_cpumask __kptr * cpumask;
bdbda395

55 };
56
57 struct array_map {
58 __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
59 __type(key, int);
60 __type(value, struct cpumask_map_value);
61 __uint(max_entries, 65536);
62 } cpumask_map SEC(".maps");
63
64 static int cpumask_map_insert(struct bpf_cpumask *mask, u32 pid)
65 {
66 struct cpumask_map_value local, *v;
67 long status;
68 struct bpf_cpumask *old;
69 u32 key = pid;
70
71 local.cpumask = NULL;
72 status = bpf_map_update_elem(&cpumask_map, &key, &local, 0);
73 if (status) {
74 bpf_cpumask_release(mask);
75 return status;
76 }
77
78 v = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&cpumask_map, &key);
79 if (!v) {
80 bpf_cpumask_release(mask);
81 return -ENOENT;
82 }
83
84 old = bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->cpumask, mask);
85 if (old)
86 bpf_cpumask_release(old);
87
88 return 0;
89 }
90
91 /**

93 * recorded as a kptr.

97 {
98 struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;
99 int ret;
100
101 cpumask = bpf_cpumask_create();

1142.1.1 ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` as kptrs
115---------------------------------------
116
117As mentioned and illustrated above, these ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` objects can
118also be stored in a map and used as kptrs. If a ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` is in
119a map, the reference can be removed from the map with bpf_kptr_xchg(), or
fec2c6d1 120opportunistically acquired using RCU:

1772.2 ``struct cpumask``
178----------------------
179
180``struct cpumask`` is the object that actually contains the cpumask bitmap
181being queried, mutated, etc. A ``struct bpf_cpumask`` wraps a ``struct
182cpumask``, which is why it's safe to cast it as such (note however that it is
183**not** safe to cast a ``struct cpumask *`` to a ``struct bpf_cpumask *``, and
184the verifier will reject any program that tries to do so).
185
186As we'll see below, any kfunc that mutates its cpumask argument will take a
187``struct bpf_cpumask *`` as that argument. Any argument that simply queries the
188cpumask will instead take a ``struct cpumask *``.
189
1903. cpumask kfuncs
191=================
192
193Above, we described the kfuncs that can be used to allocate, acquire, release,
194etc a ``struct bpf_cpumask *``. This section of the document will describe the
195kfuncs for mutating and querying cpumasks.
196
1973.1 Mutating cpumasks
198---------------------
199
200Some cpumask kfuncs are "read-only" in that they don't mutate any of their
201arguments, whereas others mutate at least one argument (which means that the
202argument must be a ``struct bpf_cpumask *``, as described above).
203
204This section will describe all of the cpumask kfuncs which mutate at least one
205argument. :ref:`cpumasks-querying-label` below describes the read-only kfuncs.
206
2073.1.1 Setting and clearing CPUs
208-------------------------------
209
210bpf_cpumask_set_cpu() and bpf_cpumask_clear_cpu() can be used to set and clear
211a CPU in a ``struct bpf_cpumask`` respectively:
212
213.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
214 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_set_cpu bpf_cpumask_clear_cpu
215
216These kfuncs are pretty straightforward, and can be used, for example, as
217follows:
218
219.. code-block:: c
220
221 /**
222 * A sample tracepoint showing how a cpumask can be queried.
223 */
224 SEC("tp_btf/task_newtask")
225 int BPF_PROG(test_set_clear_cpu, struct task_struct *task, u64 clone_flags)
226 {
227 struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;
228
229 cpumask = bpf_cpumask_create();
230 if (!cpumask)
231 return -ENOMEM;
232
233 bpf_cpumask_set_cpu(0, cpumask);
234 if (!bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(0, cast(cpumask)))
235 /* Should never happen. */
236 goto release_exit;
237
238 bpf_cpumask_clear_cpu(0, cpumask);
239 if (bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(0, cast(cpumask)))
240 /* Should never happen. */
241 goto release_exit;
242
243 /* struct cpumask * pointers such as task->cpus_ptr can also be queried. */
244 if (bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(0, task->cpus_ptr))
245 bpf_printk("task %s can use CPU %d", task->comm, 0);
246
247 release_exit:
248 bpf_cpumask_release(cpumask);
249 return 0;
250 }
251
252----
253
254bpf_cpumask_test_and_set_cpu() and bpf_cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu() are
255complementary kfuncs that allow callers to atomically test and set (or clear)
256CPUs:
257
258.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
259 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_test_and_set_cpu bpf_cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu
260
261----
262
263We can also set and clear entire ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` objects in one
264operation using bpf_cpumask_setall() and bpf_cpumask_clear():
265
266.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
267 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_setall bpf_cpumask_clear
268
2693.1.2 Operations between cpumasks
270---------------------------------
271
272In addition to setting and clearing individual CPUs in a single cpumask,
273callers can also perform bitwise operations between multiple cpumasks using
274bpf_cpumask_and(), bpf_cpumask_or(), and bpf_cpumask_xor():
275
276.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
277 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_and bpf_cpumask_or bpf_cpumask_xor
278
279The following is an example of how they may be used. Note that some of the
280kfuncs shown in this example will be covered in more detail below.
281
282.. code-block:: c
283
284 /**
285 * A sample tracepoint showing how a cpumask can be mutated using
286 bitwise operators (and queried).

293 mask1 = bpf_cpumask_create();
294 if (!mask1)
295 return -ENOMEM;
296
297 mask2 = bpf_cpumask_create();

299 bpf_cpumask_release(mask1);
300 return -ENOMEM;
301 }
302
303 // ...Safely create the other two masks... */
304
305 bpf_cpumask_set_cpu(0, mask1);
306 bpf_cpumask_set_cpu(1, mask2);
307 bpf_cpumask_and(dst1, (const struct cpumask *)mask1, (const struct cpumask *)mask2);
308 if (!bpf_cpumask_empty((const struct cpumask *)dst1))

316
317 if (!bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(1, (const struct cpumask *)dst1))
318 /* Should never happen. */
319 goto release_exit;
320
321 bpf_cpumask_xor(dst2, (const struct cpumask *)mask1, (const struct cpumask *)mask2);
322 if (!bpf_cpumask_equal((const struct cpumask *)dst1,
323 (const struct cpumask *)dst2))
324 /* Should never happen. */
325 goto release_exit;

331 bpf_cpumask_release(dst2);
332 return 0;
333 }
334

336
337The contents of an entire cpumask may be copied to another using
338bpf_cpumask_copy():

3473.2 Querying cpumasks
348---------------------
349
350In addition to the above kfuncs, there is also a set of read-only kfuncs that
351can be used to query the contents of cpumasks.
352
353.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c
354 :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_first bpf_cpumask_first_zero bpf_cpumask_test_cpu

363----
364
365Some example usages of these querying kfuncs were shown above. We will not
366replicate those exmaples here. Note, however, that all of the aforementioned
367kfuncs are tested in `tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/cpumask_success.c`_, so
368please take a look there if you're looking for more examples of how they can be
369used.

374
3754. Adding BPF cpumask kfuncs
376============================
377
378The set of supported BPF cpumask kfuncs are not (yet) a 1-1 match with the
379cpumask operations in include/linux/cpumask.h. Any of those cpumask operations
380could easily be encapsulated in a new kfunc if and when required. If you'd like
381to support a new cpumask operation, please feel free to submit a patch. If you
382do add a new cpumask kfunc, please document it here, and add any relevant
383selftest testcases to the cpumask selftest suite.
