Details

Summary

In the past, we modified contrib/libpcap/pcap/pcap.h to include
net/bpf.h rather than libpcap's own bpf.h. Revert that change, because
libpcap's cut-down version of bpf.h only includes components necessary
for the code generator, userland BPF interpreter, and the libpcap APIs
for setting filters, etc.. pcap-bpf.c includes the native OS version.

This is in preparation for a libpcap update to 1.10.3 where pcap/pcap.h
includes headers within the pcap source tree. Continuing to directly
include our net/bpf.h would require more local changes.

Test Plan

Build tested libpcap and tcpdump on 12.4, 13.1 and 14.0-CURRENT main-n259729-69542f26820b

@hselasky, in the commit log for 5fd1ea0810fa7811886c51740e0758f2dd36d940, you say "Restore local change to include <net/bpf.h> inside pcap.h. This fixes ports build problems." Do you recall which ports were affected?

I think this makes sense. I am also generally in favour of anything that reduces our diffs to upstream.

I would like to know how this affected ports. I searched the mailing list archives from mid- to late-May 2018 and couldn't find any reference to this, other than the commit message linked.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Feb 14 2023, 2:12 AM

Hi,
In may 2018 I reported that some ports were broken due to the upgrade (non-exhaustive list):

  • packetdrill
  • spamd
  • vde2
  • xprobe2

Hi,

  • xprobe2

Thanks Antoine. On 13.1-amd64, with the change proposed here, packetdrill and vde2 still build successfully, but mail/spamd and net/xprobe have problems. I'm including logs for the two build failures for reference. The last upstream release for spamd was over 11 years ago and the last upstream release for xprobe2 was over 17 years ago, so it's likely that each has fallen behind on some libpcap changes. It would be good to move ahead with the change here, so that we can update libpcap before 13.2 (if that's still possible). There's a vulnderabilty that's affecting the version of libpcap we have in the tree now [1].

@sunpoet and @koue_chaosophia.net, are you good if we move forward here and deal with the fallout of your ports before 13.2 is realeased?

The affected ports should be able to use ports/net/libpcap?

That won't help for mail/spamd. It needs the definition of BIOCLOCK from net/bpf.h. This highlights a problem that I originally missed. The log message above says, "...libpcap's cut-down version of bpf.h includes [only essential parts] ... pcap-bpf.c includes the native OS version." That means with the change proposed in this review, code with #include <pcap.h> now won't have net/bpf.h pulled in. Without the change proposed in this review, pcap 1.10.3 fails to build, because it requires a few lines from pcap/bpf.h.

There is quite a bit of overlap in pcap/bpf.h and net/bpf.h. What we could do is cut out the duplication from pcap/bpf.h then in the cut-down file add #include <net/bpf.h>. The downside is that it adds a bit of local change under contrib/libpcap, but I don't see a better solution.

libpcap: Make pcap/bpf.h a minimal wrapper around net/bpf.h

In the past, we modified contrib/libpcap/pcap/pcap.h to include
net/bpf.h rather than libpcap's own bpf.h. Revert that local change and
make libpcap's bpf.h a minimal wrapper around net/bpf.h.

This is in preparation for libpcap 1.10.3, where a few extern function
definitions in pcap/bpf.h are required.

I'm okay with this in principle (though I've not tested it).

Would it make sense to reduce the diff to upstream by sticking the #include <net/bpf.h> under #ifdef __FreeBSD__ and the rest of the file under #else?

Or is it not worth bothering?

Yeah, I like that idea. I'll update the diff in a few hours.

I tested by building both libpcap 1.9.1 and 1.10.3 as well as tcpdump. I also tested Antoine's list of ports and didn't encounter any problems.

Incorporate Philip's suggestion to wrap things with #if defined(FreeBSD)

I must have missed this in the last round, but net/xprobe still fails to build, because it doesn't like.

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

We can hide that under the #else as well, but I have little insight about the wider implications. Thoughts?

Correct an error with the location of #endif /* defined(FreeBSD) */ in the update.

That's why net/xprobe suddenly wasn't building.

perhaps a comment explaining why we do this (referencing example ports)?

  • Incorporate Ed's suggesting for a comment
  • Tweak the location of the #ifdefs to hopefully make the future merge cleaner

LGTM assuming this is good for ports, and left a small comment about the comment.

contrib/libpcap/pcap/bpf.h

This file gets installed as /usr/include/pcap/bpf.h, and the one mentioned in the comment there as /usr/include/pcap/pcap.h, so we may want to omit the 'contrib/libpcap' prefix?

maybe around the system net/bpf.h

Excellent work! Thank you.
