tools/bpftool: fix a bug in bpftool perf
Commit b04df400 ("tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand") introduced bpftool subcommand perf to query bpf program kuprobe and tracepoint attachments. The perf subcommand will first test whether bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY is supported in kernel or not. It does it by opening a file with argv[0] and feeds the file descriptor and current task pid to the kernel for querying. Such an approach won't work if the argv[0] cannot be opened successfully in the current directory. This is especially true when bpftool is accessible through PATH env variable. The error below reflects the open failure for file argv[0] at home directory. [yhs@localhost ~]$ which bpftool /usr/local/sbin/bpftool [yhs@localhost ~]$ bpftool perf Error: perf_query_support: No such file or directory To fix the issue, let us open root directory ("/") which exists in every linux system. With the fix, the error message will correctly reflect the permission issue. [yhs@localhost ~]$ which bpftool /usr/local/sbin/bpftool [yhs@localhost ~]$ bpftool perf Error: perf_query_support: Operation not permitted HINT: non root or kernel doesn't support TASK_FD_QUERY Fixes: b04df400 ("tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand") Reported-by: NAlexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NYonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Reviewed-by: NJakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: NDaniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
