## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
eBPF is a technology that allows running user-supplied programs inside the Linux
|
||
|
|
kernel. For more info see https://ebpf.io/what-is-ebpf.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aya is an eBPF library built with a focus on operability and developer
|
||
|
|
experience. It does not rely on [libbpf] nor [bcc] - it's built from the ground
|
||
|
|
up purely in Rust, using only the [libc] crate to execute syscalls. With BTF
|
||
|
|
support and when linked with musl, it offers a true [compile once, run
|
||
|
|
everywhere solution][co-re], where a single self-contained binary can be
|
||
|
|
deployed on many linux distributions and kernel versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of the major features provided include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Support for the **BPF Type Format** (BTF), which is transparently enabled when
|
||
|
|
supported by the target kernel. This allows eBPF programs compiled against
|
||
|
|
one kernel version to run on different kernel versions without the need to
|
||
|
|
recompile.
|
||
|
|
* Support for function call relocation and global data maps, which
|
||
|
|
allows eBPF programs to make **function calls** and use **global variables
|
||
|
|
and initializers**.
|
||
|
|
* **Async support** with both [tokio] and [async-std].
|
||
|
|
* Easy to deploy and fast to build: aya doesn't require a kernel build or
|
||
|
|
compiled headers, and not even a C toolchain; a release build completes in a matter
|
||
|
|
of seconds.

### Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aya supports a large chunk of the eBPF API. The following example shows how to use a
|
||
|
|
`BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB` program with aya:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
use std::fs::File;
|
||
|
|
use std::convert::TryInto;
|
||
|
|
use aya::Bpf;
|
||
|
|
use aya::programs::{CgroupSkb, CgroupSkbAttachType};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// load the BPF code
|
||
|
|
let bpf = Bpf::load_file("bpf.o")?;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// get the `ingress_filter` program compiled into `bpf.o`.
|
||
|
|
let ingress: &mut CgroupSkb = bpf.program_mut("ingress_filter")?.try_into()?;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// load the program into the kernel
|
||
|
|
ingress.load()?;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// attach th program to the root cgroup. `ingress_filter` will be called for all
|
||
|
|
// incoming packets.
|
||
|
|
let cgroup = File::open("/sys/fs/cgroup/unified")?;
|
||
|
|
ingress.attach(cgroup, CgroupSkbAttachType::Ingress)?;
|
||
|
|
```
