This tutorial is about developing bcc tools and programs using the Python interface. There are two parts: observability then networking. Snippets are taken from various programs in bcc: see their files for licences.
Also see the bcc developer's reference_guide.md, and a tutorial for end-users of tools: tutorial.md. There is also a lua interface for bcc.
This observability tutorial contains 17 lessons, and 46 enumerated things to learn.
Start by running examples/hello_world.py, while running some commands (eg, "ls") in another session. It should print "Hello, World!" for new processes. If not, start by fixing bcc: see INSTALL.md.
# ./examples/hello_world.py
bash-13364 [002] d... 24573433.052937: : Hello, World!
bash-13364 [003] d... 24573436.642808: : Hello, World!
[...]
Here's the code for hello_world.py:
from bcc import BPF
BPF(text='int kprobe__sys_clone(void *ctx) { bpf_trace_printk("Hello, World!\\n"); return 0; }').trace_print()There are six things to learn from this:
-
text='...': This defines a BPF program inline. The program is written in C. -
kprobe__sys_clone(): This is a short-cut for kernel dynamic tracing via kprobes. If the C function begins withkprobe__, the rest is treated as a kernel function name to instrument, in this case,sys_clone(). -
void *ctx: ctx has arguments, but since we aren't using them here, we'll just cast it tovoid *. -
bpf_trace_printk(): A simple kernel facility for printf() to the common trace_pipe (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe). This is ok for some quick examples, but has limitations: 3 args max, 1 %s only, and trace_pipe is globally shared, so concurrent programs will have clashing output. A better interface is via BPF_PERF_OUTPUT(), covered later. -
return 0;: Necessary formality (if you want to know why, see #139). -
.trace_print(): A bcc routine that reads trace_pipe and prints the output.
Write a program that traces the sys_sync() kernel function. Print "sys_sync() called" when it runs. Test by running sync in another session while tracing. The hello_world.py program has everything you need for this.
Improve it by printing "Tracing sys_sync()... Ctrl-C to end." when the program first starts. Hint: it's just Python.
This program is in examples/tracing/hello_fields.py. Sample output (run commands in another session):
# ./examples/tracing/hello_fields.py

24585001.174885999 sshd 1432 Hello, World!

24585002.276147000 bash 15787 Hello, World!
Code:
from bcc import BPF
# define BPF program
prog = """
int hello(void *ctx) {
bpf_trace_printk("Hello, World!\\n");
return 0;
}
"""
# load BPF program
b = BPF(text=prog)
b.attach_kprobe(event="sys_clone", fn_name="hello")
# header
print("%-18s %-16s %-6s %s" % ("TIME(s)", "COMM", "PID", "MESSAGE"))
# format output
while 1:
try:
(task, pid, cpu, flags, ts, msg) = b.trace_fields()
except ValueError:
continue
print("%-18.9f %-16s %-6d %s" % (ts, task, pid, msg))This is similar to hello_world.py, and traces new processes via sys_clone() again, but has a few more things to learn:
-
prog =: This time we declare the C program as a variable, and later refer to it. This is useful if you want to add some string substitutions based on command line arguments. -
hello(): Now we're just declaring a C function, instead of thekprobe__shortcut. We'll refer to this later. All C functions declared in the BPF program are expected to be executed on a probe, hence they all need to take apt_reg* ctxas first argument. If you need to define some helper function that will not be executed on a probe, they need to be defined asstatic inlinein order to be inlined by the compiler. Sometimes you would also need to add_always_inlinefunction attribute to it. -
b.attach_kprobe(event="sys_clone", fn_name="hello"): Creates a kprobe for the sys_clone() kernel function, which will execute our defined hello() function. You can call attach_kprobe() more than once, and attach your C function to multiple kernel functions. -
b.trace_fields(): Returns a fixed set of fields from trace_pipe. Simalar to trace_print(), this is handy for hacking, but for real tooling we should switch to BPF_PERF_OUTPUT().
Remember the days of sysadmins typing sync three times on a slow console before reboot, to give the first asynchronous sync time to complete? Then someone thought sync;sync;sync was clever, to run them all on one line, which became industry practice despite defeating the original purpose! And then sync became synchronous, so more reasons it was silly. Anyway.
The following example times how quickly the do_sync function is called, and prints output if it has been called more recently than one second ago. A sync;sync;sync will print output for the 2nd and 3rd sync's:
# ./examples/tracing/sync_timing.py
Tracing for quick sync's... Ctrl-C to end
At time 0.00 s: multiple syncs detected, last 95 ms ago
At time 0.10 s: multiple syncs detected, last 96 ms ago
This program is examples/tracing/sync_timing.py:
from bcc import BPF
# load BPF program
b = BPF(text="""
#include <uapi/linux/ptrace.h>
#include <linux/blkdev.h>
BPF_HASH(last);
void do_trace(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
u64 ts, *tsp, delta, key = 0;
// attempt to read stored timestamp
tsp = last.lookup(&key);
if (tsp != 0) {
delta = bpf_ktime_get_ns() - *tsp;
if (delta < 1000000000) {
// output if time is less than 1 second
bpf_trace_printk("%d\\n", delta / 1000000);
}
last.delete(&key);
}
// update stored timestamp
ts = bpf_ktime_get_ns();
last.update(&key, &ts);
}
""")
b.attach_kprobe(event="sys_sync", fn_name="do_trace")
print("Tracing for quick sync's... Ctrl-C to end")
# format output
start = 0
while 1:
(task, pid, cpu, flags, ts, ms) = b.trace_fields()
if start == 0:
start = ts
ts = ts - start
print("At time %.2f s: multiple syncs detected, last %s ms ago" % (ts, ms))Things to learn:
bpf_ktime_get_ns(): Returns the time as nanoseconds.BPF_HASH(last): Creates a BPF map object that is a hash (associative array), called "last". We didn't specify any further arguments, so it defaults to key and value types of u64.key = 0: We'll only store one key/value pair in this hash, where the key is hardwired to zero.last.lookup(&key): Lookup the key in the hash, and return a pointer to its value if it exists, else NULL. We pass the key in as an address to a pointer.last.delete(&key): Delete the key from the hash. This is currently required because of a kernel bug in.update().last.update(&key, &ts): Associate the value in the 2nd argument to the key, overwriting any previous value. This records the timestamp.
Modify the sync_timing.py program (prior lesson) to store the count of all sys_sync() calls (both fast and slow), and print it with the output. This count can be recorded in the BPF program by adding a new key index to the existing hash.
Browse the examples/tracing/disksnoop.py program to see what is new. Here is some sample output:

b.attach_kprobe(event="blk_account_io_completion", fn_name="trace_completion")
[...]Things to learn:
REQ_WRITE: We're defining a kernel constant in the Python program because we'll use it there later. If we were using REQ_WRITE in the BPF program, it should just work (without needing to be defined) with the appropriate #includes.trace_start(struct pt_regs *ctx, struct request *req): This function will later be attached to kprobes. The arguments to kprobe functions arestruct pt_regs *ctx, for registers and BPF context, and then the actual arguments to the function. We'll attach this to blk_start_request(), where the first argument isstruct request *.start.update(&req, &ts): We're using the pointer to the request struct as a key in our hash. What? This is commonplace in tracing. Pointers to structs turn out to be great keys, as they are unique: two structs can't have the same pointer address. (Just be careful about when it gets free'd and reused.) So what we're really doing is tagging the request struct, which describes the disk I/O, with our own timestamp, so that we can time it. There's two common keys used for storing timestamps: pointers to structs, and, thread IDs (for timing function entry to return).req->__data_len: We're dereferencing members ofstruct request. See its definition in the kernel source for what members are there. bcc actually rewrites these expressions to be a series ofbpf_probe_read()calls. Sometimes bcc can't handle a complex dereference, and you need to callbpf_probe_read()directly.
This is a pretty interesting program, and if you can understand all the code, you'll understand many important basics. We're still using the bpf_trace_printk() hack, so let's fix that next.
Let's finally stop using bpf_trace_printk() and use the proper BPF_PERF_OUTPUT() interface. This will also mean we stop getting the free trace_field() members like PID and timestamp, and will need to fetch them directly. Sample output while commands are run in another session:

while 1:
b.kprobe_poll()Things to learn:
struct data_t: This defines the C struct we'll use to pass data from kernel to user space.BPF_PERF_OUTPUT(events): This names our output channel "events".struct data_t data = {};: Create an empty data_t struct that we'll then populate.bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(): Returns the process ID in the lower 32 bits (kernel's view of the PID, which in user space is usually presented as the thread ID), and the thread group ID in the upper 32 bits (what user space often thinks of as the PID). By directly setting this to a u32, we discard the upper 32 bits. Should you be presenting the PID or the TGID? For a multi-threaded app, the TGID will be the same, so you need the PID to differentiate them, if that's what you want. It's also a question of expectations for the end user.bpf_get_current_comm(): Populates the first argument address with the current process name.events.perf_submit(): Submit the event for user space to read via a perf ring buffer.class Data(ct.Structure): Now define the Python version of the C data structure.def print_event(): Define a Python function that will handle reading events from theeventsstream.b["events"].open_perf_buffer(print_event): Associate the Pythonprint_eventfunction with theeventsstream.while 1: b.kprobe_poll(): Block waiting for events.
This may be improved in future bcc versions. Eg, the Python data struct could be auto-generated from the C code.

Thectxis registers and BPF context, thereqis the first argument to the instrumented function:blk_account_io_completion().req->__data_len: Dereferencing that member.
New things to learn:
BPF_HISTOGRAM(dist): Defines a BPF map object that is a histogram, and names it "dist".dist.increment(): Increments the histogram bucket index provided as an argument by one.bpf_log2l(): Returns the log-2 of the provided value. This becomes the index of our histogram, so that we're constructing a power-of-2 histogram.b["dist"].print_log2_hist("kbytes"): Prints the "dist" histogram as power-of-2, with a column header of "kbytes". The only data transferred from kernel to user space is the bucket counts, making this efficient.
Write a program that times disk I/O, and prints a histogram of their latency. Disk I/O instrumentation and timing can be found in the disksnoop.py program from a prior lesson, and histogram code can be found in bitesize.py from a prior lesson.

This is an older tutorial included as a bonus lesson. Use this for recap and to reinforce what you've already learned.
This is a slightly more complex tracing example than Hello World. This program will be invoked for every task change in the kernel, and record in a BPF map the new and old pids.
The C program below introduces two new concepts.
The first is the macro BPF_TABLE. This defines a table (type="hash"), with key
type key_t and leaf type u64 (a single counter). The table name is stats,
containing 1024 entries maximum. One can lookup, lookup_or_init, update,
and delete entries from the table.
The second concept is the prev argument. This argument is treated specially by
the BCC frontend, such that accesses to this variable are read from the saved
context that is passed by the kprobe infrastructure. The prototype of the args
starting from position 1 should match the prototype of the kernel function being
kprobed. If done so, the program will have seamless access to the function
parameters.
#include <uapi/linux/ptrace.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
struct key_t {
u32 prev_pid;
u32 curr_pid;
};
// map_type, key_type, leaf_type, table_name, num_entry
BPF_TABLE("hash", struct key_t, u64, stats, 1024);
// attach to finish_task_switch in kernel/sched/core.c, which has the following

}The userspace component loads the file shown above, and attaches it to the
finish_task_switch kernel function.
The [] operator of the BPF object gives access to each BPF_TABLE in the
program, allowing pass-through access to the values residing in the kernel. Use
the object as you would any other python dict object: read, update, and deletes
are all allowed.
from bcc import BPF
from time import sleep
b = BPF(src_file="task_switch.c")
b.attach_kprobe(event="finish_task_switch", fn_name="count_sched")

for k, v in b["stats"].items():
print("task_switch[%5d->%5d]=%u" % (k.prev_pid, k.curr_pid, v.value))These programs have now been merged, and are both in examples/tracing/task_switch.py.
For further study, see Sasha Goldshtein's linux-tracing-workshop, which contains additional labs. There are also many tools in bcc /tools to study.
Please read CONTRIBUTING-SCRIPTS.md if you wish to contrubite tools to bcc. At the bottom of the main README.md, you'll also find methods for contacting us. Good luck, and happy tracing!
