net: add skeleton of bpfilter kernel module bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code) and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following: - main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file - with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols Example: $ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o 0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end 0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size 0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data as a user mode process. Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init function of bpfilter.ko is finished. As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid. Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will kill umh as well.

bpfilter: remove extra header search paths for bpfilter_umh Currently, the header search paths -Itools/include and -Itools/include/uapi are not used. Let's drop the unused code. We can remove -I. too by fixing up one C file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 2019-01-31 12:15:35 +09:00

net: bpfilter: print umh messages to /dev/kmsg bpfilter_umh currently printed all messages to /dev/console and this might interfere the user activity(). This commit changes the output device to /dev/kmsg so that the messages from bpfilter_umh won't show on the console directly.
