This tiny BPF program & driver can be used to determine the offset of task_struct->thread.fs (or fsbase, depending on your kernel version) in runtime, without using kernel headers.
While working on PyPerf, which is a complex BPF program whose only dependency on kernel structs is on task_struct->thread.fs, I wanted to lift that kernel headers dependency. This logic to find the offset in runtime could help (although I later found out that BCC itself depends on kernel headers; that'll be solved elseways...)
It was also my first libbpf-based program, so I took it as a fun training :)
The driver program reads its thread's fs value, sets it as the expected value for the BPF program, and loads it.
The BPF program is triggered (by the "arbitrary" tracepoint on arch_prctl). It scans the current task_struct's memory for 16kb, finding pointers that match the expected fs value.
The driver then reports the found offset, or the error (none found / found more than 1 / bpf_probe_read error).
Some kernels from 4.14 to 5.11.
