Fix a bug in how modern_bpf sent cgroups, when number of paths component was greater than MAX_CGROUP_PATH_POINTERS.
For example, for

/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/app-org.gnome.Terminal.slice/vte-spawn-2f17b2eb-994e-415d-bce0-44c1447d7cd2.scope

that is 7 paths long (considering first one, ie: root, is returned by the kernel as an empty string), we would have returned to userspace:

user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/app-org.gnome.Terminal.slice/vte-spawn-2f17b2eb-994e-415d-bce0-44c1447d7cd2.scope

ie: the leading / was missing.

test/libsinsp_e2e/event_capture.h

+// Just a stupid fake FD value to signal to stop capturing events from driver and exit.
+// Note: we don't use it through eventfd because we want to make sure
+// that we received all events from the driver, until this very last close(FD_SIGNAL_STOP);
+#define EVENTFD_SIGNAL_STOP 1


To avoid infinite loops when missing syscalls, after each test run() callback is called, we trigger the eventfd to signal that the capture must be stopped and all remaining events consumed.

NOTE: i avoided sending a fake syscall event (like a close(555)) because if you are losing events, chances are high that you'll lose also this canary event, thus leading to infinitely looping.

FedeDP · 2024-09-27T12:38:22Z

test/libsinsp_e2e/event_capture.h


 static void do_nothing(sinsp* inspector) {}

- static bool always_continue() { return true; }
+ static void run(const run_callback_t& run_function,


We now have 2 different fashioned run static functions exposed by the event_capture class: one run the test callback (run_function) synchronously and then gathers all generated events; this one can also access the inspector in the callback since it is synchronous.

The other one is async, thus the callback is prevented to access the inspector.

Note: i kept the same name because i found it easier to integrate; so the only difference between a sync and an async invocation is just the first parameter type (run_callback_t vs run_callback_async_t).

test/libsinsp_e2e/event_capture.cpp

- if(m_mode != SINSP_MODE_NODRIVER && m_dump) {
- dumper->dump(event);
- }
+ handle_eventfd_request();


Before doing anything else, check if any eventfd request was sent; this is non-blocking of course.

If you are wondering why i did not just use eg:
close(MY_FAKE_FD) to signal the capture to end, is because during my tests it happened that the signaling event got lost and then ♾️

Of course, having a read on each loop creates small back-pressure on the drivers.
But tests that generate lots of syscalls traffic are now enabling only the sinsp state sc set of syscalls, therefore in that case, no read will appear in our syscall event loop ;)

Latest changes put, by default, the whole sc set minus read and readv to avoid the backpressure (ie: we do not push eventfd read related events to userspace).
Of course some tests rely on reads, in that case they must explicitly enable the libsinsp::events::all_sc_set().

Also, the sc set is now a parameter of event_capture::run() APIs.
