2014-04-22conf: Use configuration file path from Makefile instead of hardcoded pathsTobias Klauser7-17/+16
Currently, the path to the configuration files is hardcoded to $PREFIX/etc/netsniff-ng. If we want to keep the configuration files outside of prefix (e.g. during development), we need to pass the complete path as specified in $ETCDIRE (and $ETCDIR respectively, which could e.g. be overriden on the command line during build install) as a preprocessor define. This way, we can e.g. install the configuration files to /etc while installing the binaries in /usr/local with: $ make PREFIX=/usr/local ETCDIR=/etc $ make PREFIX=/usr/local ETCDIR=/etc install Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

2014-04-12build: fixed PREFIX usageChristian Wiese1-4/+4
This change fixes the use of PREFIX by not hard wiring /usr into the path. Besides that if no PREFIX is provided by the user, it is set to /usr/local now which is considered to be the right location for most LSB conforming distros if the user is compiling from sources to not interfere with the package management for binary packages which are build using /usr as prefix in most of the cases. current behavior without setting PREFIX will most likely interfere with most distro package managers when building from source: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ sudo make uninstall RM /usr/sbin/netsniff-ng RM /usr/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/trafgen RM /usr/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/astraceroute RM /usr/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/ifpps RM /usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/bpfc RM /usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz RM /usr/sbin/curvetun RM /usr/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ current behavior when setting PREFIX=/usr/local looks kind of weird because of the hard wired /usr: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local uninstall RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/netsniff-ng RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/trafgen RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/astraceroute RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/ifpps RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/bpfc RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/curvetun RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ using the proposed fix without setting PREFIX: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ sudo make uninstall RM /usr/local/sbin/netsniff-ng RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/trafgen RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/astraceroute RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/ifpps RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/bpfc RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz RM /usr/local/sbin/curvetun RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Signed-off-by: Christian Wiese <chris@opensde.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

2014-04-11built_in: changed to not unconditionally define PAGE_SIZEChristian Wiese1-1/+3
When building against musl libc I encountered following issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In file included from xmalloc.h:6:0, from xmalloc.c:17: built_in.h:181:0: warning: "PAGE_SIZE" redefined [enabled by default] In file included from /usr/include/limits.h:8:0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to the POSIX standard PAGE_SIZE should be defined in <limits.h> [1] which is the case with musl libc if for example _GNU_SOURCE or _BSD_SOURCE are defined which both is the case in netsniff-ng sources. On my i686 test build the interesting part of <bits/limits.h> which itself gets included by <limits.h> looks like this: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #if defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) || defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) \ || defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) || defined(_GNU_SOURCE) || defined(_BSD_SOURCE) #define PAGE_SIZE 4096 #define LONG_BIT 64 #endif --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Besides that I noticed that currently getpagesize(2) is used, which is considered legacy and has been dropped with POSIX.1-2001 [2]. According to getpagesize(2) [2] portable applications should use sysconf(3) [3] By using getpagesize(2) unconditionally the intention was maybe to always use the run time configuration value of PAGE_SIZE as returned by the kernel. At least in the case of musl libc and applying this change this would not be the case anymore as the static PAGE_SIZE value from the header would be used!

2014-03-26trafgen: keep a small initial ring buffer size to reduce cache-missesDaniel Borkmann1-0/+3
Heavily reduce the initial ring buffer size for trafgen to just 196KiB, so that we can heavily reduce the number of cache-misses related to cache references. People can still overwrite this setting later on via command line option for their specific architecture if they wish. Perhaps the RX_RING should be checked as well in netsniff-ng though the use case there is slightly different.

2014-03-26trafgen: remove timer-based trigger modelDaniel Borkmann1-43/+10
perf reports in mmap case a huge number of kmem_cache_alloc's which seem to stem from triggering signals from kernel to user application, against dummy device: Performance counter stats for 'trafgen -i blub -o dummy0 -n100000000 -k100': <-- mmap case 175,837 kmem:kmem_cache_alloc 14.758900522 seconds time elapsed Performance counter stats for 'trafgen -i blub -o dummy0 -n100000000 -k100 -t0': <-- non-mmap case 707 kmem:kmem_cache_alloc 15.591667364 seconds time elapsed It seems not to case significant number of cache-misses, but it's better to switch to a direct trigger when we cannot fill new frames anymore. After this patch, we see a similar number of kmem_cache_alloc's as in the non-mmap case. This basically renders the kpull interval useless, we can optionally remove it if we don't care about people's scripts. ;-) Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

In pcap_validate_header() the linktype and the byte-swapped linktype are currently checked against the supported linktypes. Since the swapped linktype is always larger than LINKTYPE_MAX, only one of the two tests was actually done.

2014-02-26dissectors: ethernet: Handle multicast/broadcast addresses properlyTobias Klauser1-5/+25
Until now, we just looked up the vendor string based on the OUI for each MAC address. Thus, multicast and broadcast addresses were just printed as "Unknown" which is a bit misleading. Improve this situation by checking bit 0 of the 1st octet of the address and by checking for the broadcast address if it is set. If a multicast/broadcast address is found, the respective string is returned. In all other cases, the existing OUI lookup is done. In the future we might extend this mechanism to look up well-known multicast addresses. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

2013-12-12trafgen: take advantage of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS sock optionJesper Dangaard Brouer5-2/+40
Since Linux 3.14, the kernel supports a socket option PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, which trafgen enables by default. That allow us to bypass the kernels normal qdisc (traffic control) layer. An option -q, --qdisc-path is added to allow enabling the qdisc path explicity, useful for testing purposes. This will be avail in kernels >= 3.14 via commit d346a3fae3 (packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option). Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>
2013-12-11trafgen: speedup TX only path by avoiding kernel packet_rcv() callJesper Dangaard Brouer7-6/+20
The tool trafgen is used in a pktgen style transmit only scenario. We discovered a performance bottleneck in the kernel, when running trafgen, where the kernel stalled on a lock in packet_rcv(). This call is unnecessary for trafgen given its transmit only nature. This packet_rcv() call can, easily be avoided by instructing the RAW/PF_PACKET socket, to not listen to any protocols (by passing protocol argument zero, when creating the socket). The performance gain is huge, increasing performance from approx max 2Mpps to 12Mpps, basically causing trafgen to scale with the number of CPUs. Following tests were run on a 2xCPU E5-2650 with Intel 10Gbit/s ixgbe: Trafgen using sendto() syscall via parameter -t0: * # CPUs -- *with* -- *without* packet_rcv() call * 1 CPU == 1,232,244 -- 1,236,144 pkts/sec * 2 CPUs == 1,592,720 -- 2,593,620 pkts/sec * 3 CPUs == 1,635,623 -- 3,692,216 pkts/sec * 4 CPUs == 1,567,768 -- 4,102,866 pkts/sec * 5 CPUs == 1,700,270 -- 5,151,489 pkts/sec * 6 CPUs == 1,762,392 -- 6,124,512 pkts/sec * 7 CPUs == 1,850,139 -- 7,120,496 pkts/sec * 8 CPUs == 1,770,909 -- 8,058,710 pkts/sec * 9 CPUs == 1,721,072 -- 8,963,192 pkts/sec * 10 CPUs == 1,359,157 -- 9,584,535 pkts/sec * 11 CPUs == 1,175,520 -- 10,498,038 pkts/sec * 12 CPUs == 1,075,867 -- 11,189,292 pkts/sec * 13 CPUs == 1,012,602 -- 12,048,836 pkts/sec * [...] * 20 CPUs == 1,030,446 -- 11,202,449 pkts/sec Trafgen using mmap() TX tpacket_v2 (default) * # CPUs -- *with* -- *without* packet_rcv() call * 1 CPU == 920,682 -- 927,984 pkts/sec * 2 CPUs == 1,607,940 -- 2,061,406 pkts/sec * 3 CPUs == 1,668,488 -- 2,979,463 pkts/sec * 4 CPUs == 1,423,066 -- 3,169,565 pkts/sec * 5 CPUs == 1,507,708 -- 3,910,756 pkts/sec * 6 CPUs == 1,555,616 -- 4,625,844 pkts/sec * 7 CPUs == 1,560,961 -- 5,298,441 pkts/sec * 8 CPUs == 1,596,092 -- 6,000,465 pkts/sec * 9 CPUs == 1,575,139 -- 6,722,130 pkts/sec * 10 CPUs == 1,311,676 -- 7,114,202 pkts/sec * 11 CPUs == 1,157,650 -- 7,859,399 pkts/sec * 12 CPUs == 1,060,366 -- 8,491,004 pkts/sec * 13 CPUs == 1,012,956 -- 9,269,761 pkts/sec * [...] * 20 CPUs == 955,716 -- 8,653,947 pkts/sec It is fairly strange that the mmap() version runs slower than the sendto() version. This is likely another performance problem related to mmap() which seems worth fixing. Note, that the mmap() version speed can be improved by reducing the default --ring-size to around 1-2 MiB. But this does not fix general trend with mmap() performance. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>
