Alessandro Decina 401ea5e848 aya, aya-obj: refactor map relocations
Clearly split the code between `.maps`, `maps` and data maps (bss, data,
rodata). Sprinkle comments.

Remove MapKind which was effectively only needed since we used to have
one variant - BpfSectionKind::Data - to represent all data maps. Instead
add explicit BpfSectionKind::{Data, Rodata, Bss} variants and match on
those when we initialize maps.

aya-obj

Status

This crate includes code that started as internal API used by the aya crate. It has been split out so that it can be used by other projects that deal with eBPF object files. Unless you're writing low level eBPF plumbing tools, you should not need to use this crate but see the aya crate instead.

The API as it is today has a few rough edges and is generally not as polished nor stable as the main aya crate API. As always, improvements welcome!

Overview

eBPF programs written with libbpf or aya-bpf are usually compiled into an ELF object file, using various sections to store information about the eBPF programs.

aya-obj is a library for parsing such eBPF object files, with BTF and relocation support.

Example

This example loads a simple eBPF program and runs it with rbpf.

use aya_obj::{generated::bpf_insn, Object};

// Parse the object file
let bytes = std::fs::read("program.o").unwrap();
let mut object = Object::parse(&bytes).unwrap();
// Relocate the programs
object.relocate_calls().unwrap();
object.relocate_maps(std::iter::empty()).unwrap();

// Run with rbpf
let instructions = &object.programs["prog_name"].function.instructions;
let data = unsafe {
    core::slice::from_raw_parts(
        instructions.as_ptr() as *const u8,
        instructions.len() * core::mem::size_of::<bpf_insn>(),
    )
};
let vm = rbpf::EbpfVmNoData::new(Some(data)).unwrap();
let _return = vm.execute_program().unwrap();
