6.60.12 BPF Built-in Functions

The following built-in functions are available for eBPF targets.

Built-in Function: unsigned long long __builtin_bpf_load_byte (unsigned long long offset)

Load a byte from the struct sk_buff packet data pointed by the register %r6 and return it.

Built-in Function: unsigned long long __builtin_bpf_load_half (unsigned long long offset)

Load 16-bits from the struct sk_buff packet data pointed by the register %r6 and return it.

Built-in Function: unsigned long long __builtin_bpf_load_word (unsigned long long offset)

Load 32-bits from the struct sk_buff packet data pointed by the register %r6 and return it.

Built-in Function: void * __builtin_preserve_access_index (expr)

BPF Compile Once-Run Everywhere (CO-RE) support. Instruct GCC to generate CO-RE relocation records for any accesses to aggregate data structures (struct, union, array types) in expr. This builtin is otherwise transparent, the return value is whatever expr evaluates to. It is also overloaded: expr may be of any type (not necessarily a pointer), the return type is the same. Has no effect if -mco-re is not in effect (either specified or implied).
