2021-09-28api: API trace improvementsFilip Tehlar1-2/+7
Type: improvement * add support for JSON format in API trace * add ability to replay JSON API trace in both VPP and VAT2 * use CRC for backward compatibility check during JSON API replay * fix API trace CLI (and remove duplicits) * remove custom dump * remove vppapitrace.py * update docs accordingly Change-Id: I5294f68bebe6cbe738630f457f3a87720e06486b Signed-off-by: Filip Tehlar <ftehlar@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Ole Troan <ot@cisco.com>
2020-05-04misc: binary api fuzz test fixesDave Barach1-0/+1
Add a hook to src/vlibapi/api_shared.c to fuzz (screw up) binary API messages, e.g. by xoring random data into them before processing. We specifically exempt client connection messages, and inband debug CLI messages. We step over msg_id, client index, client context, and sw_if_index. Otherwise, "make test" vectors fail too rapidly to learn anything. The goal is to reduce the number of crashes caused to zero. We're fairly close with this patch. Add vl_msg_api_max_length(void *mp), which returns the maximum plausible length for a binary API message. Use it to hardern vl_api_from_api_to_new_vec(...) which takes an additional argument - message pointer - so it can verify that astr->length is sane. If it's not sane, return a u8 *vector of the form "insane astr->length nnnn\0". Verify array lengths in vl_api_dhcp6_send_client_message_t_handler(...) and vl_api_dhcp6_pd_send_client_message_t_handler(...). Add a fairly effective binary API fuzz hook to the unittest plugin, and modify the "make test" framework.py to pass "api-fuzz { on|off }" to enable API fuzzing: "make API_FUZZ=on TEST=xxx test-debug" or similar Type: improvement Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net> Change-Id: I0157267652a163c01553d5267620f719cc6c3bde

2019-08-08api: vppapitrace JSON/API trace converterOle Troan1-2/+2
usage: vppapitrace.py [-h] [--debug] [--apidir APIDIR] {convert,replay} ... optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --debug enable debug mode --apidir APIDIR Location of JSON API definitions subcommands: valid subcommands {convert,replay} additional help convert Convert API trace to JSON or Python and back replay Replay messages to running VPP instance To convert an API trace file to JSON: vppapitrace convert /tmp/api.trace trace.json To convert an (edited) JSON file back to API trace for replay: vppapitrace convert trace.json api-edited.trace To generate a Python file that can be replayed: vppapitrace convert /tmp/api.trace trace.py vppapitrace convert trace.json trace.py Replay it to a running VPP instance: vppapitrace replay --socket /tmp/api.trace In VPP that file can be replayed with: vpp# api trace replay api-edited.trace This patch also modifies the API binary trace format, to include the message id to message name table.

2018-06-13Stat segment / client: show run" works nowDave Barach1-1/+1
Seems to have minimal-to-zero performance consequences. Data appears accurate: result match the debug CLI output. Checked at low rates, 27 MPPS sprayed across two worker threads. Change-Id: I09ede5150b88a91547feeee448a2854997613004 Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>
2018-01-09api: refactor vlibmemoryFlorin Coras1-9/+7
- separate client/server code for both memory and socket apis - separate memory api code from generic vlib api code - move unix_shared_memory_fifo to svm and rename to svm_fifo_t - overall declutter Change-Id: I90cdd98ff74d0787d58825b914b0f1eafcfa4dc2 Signed-off-by: Florin Coras <fcoras@cisco.com>

2017-06-01Improve fifo allocator performanceDave Barach1-0/+3

2017-03-02Clean up binary api message handler registration issuesDave Barach1-0/+15
Removed a fair number of "BUG" message handlers, due to conflicts with actual message handlers in api_format.c. Vpp itself had no business receiving certain messages, up to the point where we started building in relevant code from vpp_api_test. Eliminated all but one duplicate registration complaint. That one needs attention from the vxlan team since the duplicated handlers have diverged. Change-Id: Iafce5429d2f906270643b4ea5f0130e20beb4d1d Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>
