2020-07-14bpf: Fix cross build for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF optionJiri Olsa
Stephen and 0-DAY CI Kernel Test Service reported broken cross build for arm (arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (GCC) 9.3.0), with following output: /tmp/ccMS5uth.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccMS5uth.s:69: Error: unrecognized symbol type "" /tmp/ccMS5uth.s:82: Error: unrecognized symbol type "" Having '@object' for .type diretive is wrong because '@' is comment character for some architectures. Using STT_OBJECT instead that should work everywhere. Also using HOST* variables to build resolve_btfids so it's properly build in crossbuilds (stolen from objtool's Makefile).

2020-07-13bpf: Add resolve_btfids tool to resolve BTF IDs in ELF objectJiri Olsa
The resolve_btfids tool scans elf object for .BTF_ids section and resolves its symbols with BTF ID values. It will be used to during linking time to resolve arrays of BTF ID values used in verifier, so these IDs do not need to be resolved in runtime. The expected layout of .BTF_ids section is described in main.c header. Related kernel changes are coming in following changes. Build issue reported by 0-DAY CI Kernel Test Service.
