Subject: [PATCHv4 11/12] tools/kexec: Introduce a bpf-prog to parse zboot image format
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:03:18 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250722020319.5837-12-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250722020319.5837-1-piliu@redhat.com>
This BPF program aligns with the convention defined in the kernel file
kexec_pe_parser_bpf.lskel.h, where the interface between the BPF program
and the kernel is established, and is composed of:
four maps:
struct bpf_map_desc ringbuf_1;
struct bpf_map_desc ringbuf_2;
struct bpf_map_desc ringbuf_3;
struct bpf_map_desc ringbuf_4;
four sections:
struct bpf_map_desc rodata;
struct bpf_map_desc data;
struct bpf_map_desc bss;
struct bpf_map_desc rodata_str1_1;
two progs:
SEC("fentry.s/bpf_handle_pefile")
SEC("fentry.s/bpf_post_handle_pefile")
This BPF program only uses ringbuf_1, so it minimizes the size of the
other three ringbufs to one byte. The size of ringbuf_1 is deduced from
the size of the uncompressed file 'vmlinux.bin', which is usually less
than 64MB. With the help of a group of bpf kfuncs: bpf_decompress(),
bpf_copy_to_kernel(), bpf_mem_range_result_put(), this bpf-prog stores
the uncompressed kernel image inside the kernel space.
