Hi Quenin,


2025-07-21 01:33 UTC+0800 ~ Tao Chen <chen.dylane@xxxxxxxxx>
Add `bpftool token show` command to get token info
from bpf fs in /proc/mounts.

Example plain output for `token show`:
token_info:
/sys/fs/bpf/token

allowed_cmds:
map_create prog_load

allowed_maps:

allowed_progs:
kprobe

allowed_attachs:
xdp

Example json output for `token show`:
{
"token_info": "/sys/fs/bpf/token",
"allowed_cmds": ["map_create","prog_load"
],
"allowed_maps":


This is not valid JSON. You're missing a value for "allowed_maps" (here
it should likely be an empty array), and the comma:

"allowed_maps": [],


"allowed_progs": ["kprobe"
],
"allowed_attachs": ["xdp"
]
}

Seems unused?

My fault, will remove it in v2, thanks.

Nit: Why the double underscore in the function name? Let's use a more
explicit name also, maybe something like "split_to_json_array"?


Well, it looks better, will change it in v2.

As mentioned above, you need to change __json_array_str() to print
something when you don't get a "value" here - just have it print an
empty array.


As you mentioned, the 'value' will be checked within the __json_array_str, and print empty array if it is NULL in v2.

Missing space after the colon, in the error message.


will fix it in v2.

File common.c has:

if (strncmp(mntent->mnt_type, "bpf", 3) != 0)
continue;

Maybe do the same for consistency, and to avoid indenting too far right?


Yes, i will refrence that, thanks.

Apologies, my knowledge of BPF tokens is limited. Can you have only one
token exposed through a bpffs at a time? Asking because I know you can
have several bpffs on your system, if each can have delegate options
then why stop after the first bpffs mount point you find?


Yes it is, only the first bpffs with token info will be showed above.
Actually, it will not be limited how many bpffs ceated in kernel, it depends on the user scenarios. In most cases, only one will be created. But, maybe it's better to show all. I will change it in v2.

Maybe at least a p_info() message if you don't find anything to print?

Ok, will add it in v2.

will change it in v2.
