BPF Conformance

This project measures the conformance of a BPF runtime to the ISA. To measure conformance the BPF runtime under test is built into a plugin process that does:

1. Accept both BPF byte code an initial memory.
2. Execute the byte code.
3. Return the value in %r0 at the end of the execution.

eBPF runtime implementations that are currently measured using this project

1. Linux Kernel via libbpf
2. uBPF
3. eBPF for Windows / bpf2c
4. rbpf
5. Prevail Verifier

Note: Linux Kernel is treated as the authorative eBPF implementation.

Building

Run cmake -S . -B build to configure the project, then run cmake --build build to build the project.

Using a published package

Select the desired version from bpf_conformance

Assume the package is named: "ghcr.io/alan-jowett/bpf_conformance:main"

docker run --privileged -it --rm ghcr.io/alan-jowett/bpf_conformance:main src/bpf_conformance_runner --test_file_directory tests --plugin_path libbpf_plugin/libbpf_plugin --cpu_version v3

Running the test

Linux (test require Linux kernel BPF support):

cmake --build build --target test --

Note: The libbpf_plugin requires root or BPF permissions.

Using bpf_conformance as a static lib

The BPF Conformance tests can also be used as a static library as part of another tests.

1. Include include/bpf_conformance.h
2. Link against libbpf_conformance.a and boost_filesystem (depending on platform).
3. Invoke bpf_conformance, passing it a list of test files.

Interpreting results

On completion of the test the bpf_conformance tools prints the list of tests that passes/failed and a summary count.
