Add two new APIs: btf__load_vmlinux_btf and btf__load_module_btf.
btf__load_vmlinux_btf is just an alias to the existing API named
libbpf_find_kernel_btf, rename to be more precisely and consistent
with existing BTF APIs. btf__load_module_btf can be used to load
module BTF, add it for completeness. These two APIs are useful for
implementing tracing tools and introspection tools. This is part
of the effort towards libbpf 1.0 ([0]).

Rename function btf__get_from_id() as btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() to
better indicate what the function does. Change the new function so that,
instead of requiring a pointer to the pointer to update and returning
with an error code, it takes a single argument (the id of the BTF
object) and returns the corresponding pointer. This is more in line with
the existing constructors.
The other tools calling the (soon-to-be) deprecated btf__get_from_id()
function will be updated in a future commit.

As part of the effort to move towards a v1.0 for libbpf, rename
btf__load() function, used to "upload" BTF information into the kernel,
as btf__load_into_kernel(). This new name better reflects what the
function does.

Add a BTF dumper for typed data, so that the user can dump a typed
version of the data provided.
The API is
int btf_dump__dump_type_data(struct btf_dump *d, __u32 id,
void *data, size_t data_sz,
const struct btf_dump_type_data_opts *opts);
...where the id is the BTF id of the data pointed to by the "void *"
argument; for example the BTF id of "struct sk_buff" for a
"struct skb *" data pointer. Options supported are
- a starting indent level (indent_lvl)
- a user-specified indent string which will be printed once per
indent level; if NULL, tab is chosen but any string <= 32 chars
can be provided.
- a set of boolean options to control dump display, similar to those
used for BPF helper bpf_snprintf_btf(). Options are
- compact : omit newlines and other indentation
- skip_names: omit member names
- emit_zeroes: show zero-value members
Default output format is identical to that dumped by bpf_snprintf_btf(),
for example a "struct sk_buff" representation would look like this:
struct sk_buff){
(union){
(struct){
.next = (struct sk_buff *)0xffffffffffffffff,
.prev = (struct sk_buff *)0xffffffffffffffff,
(union){
.dev = (struct net_device *)0xffffffffffffffff,
.dev_scratch = (long unsigned int)18446744073709551615,
},
},
...
If the data structure is larger than the *data_sz*
number of bytes that are available in *data*, as much
of the data as possible will be dumped and -E2BIG will
be returned. This is useful as tracers will sometimes
not be able to capture all of the data associated with
a type; for example a "struct task_struct" is ~16k.
Being able to specify that only a subset is available is
important for such cases. On success, the amount of data
dumped is returned.

Similar to
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210313210920.1959628-2-andrii@kernel.org/
When DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS is used with inline field initialization, e.g:
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(btf_dump_emit_type_decl_opts, opts,
.field_name = var_ident,
.indent_level = 2,
.strip_mods = strip_mods,
);
and compiled in debug mode, the compiler generates code which
leaves the padding uninitialized and triggers errors within libbpf APIs
which require strict zero initialization of OPTS structs.
Adding anonymous padding field fixes the issue.

The logic follows that of BTF_KIND_INT most of the time. Sanitization
replaces BTF_KIND_FLOATs with equally-sized empty BTF_KIND_STRUCTs on
older kernels, for example, the following:
[4] FLOAT 'float' size=4
becomes the following:
[4] STRUCT '(anon)' size=4 vlen=0
With dwarves patch [1] and this patch, the older kernels, which were
failing with the floating-point-related errors, will now start working
correctly.

Support split BTF operation, in which one BTF (base BTF) provides basic set of
types and strings, while another one (split BTF) builds on top of base's types
and strings and adds its own new types and strings. From API standpoint, the
fact that the split BTF is built on top of the base BTF is transparent.
Type numeration is transparent. If the base BTF had last type ID #N, then all
types in the split BTF start at type ID N+1. Any type in split BTF can
reference base BTF types, but not vice versa. Programmatically construction of
a split BTF on top of a base BTF is supported: one can create an empty split
BTF with btf__new_empty_split() and pass base BTF as an input, or pass raw
binary data to btf__new_split(), or use btf__parse_xxx_split() variants to get
initial set of split types/strings from the ELF file with .BTF section.
String offsets are similarly transparent and are a logical continuation of
base BTF's strings. When building BTF programmatically and adding a new string
(explicitly with btf__add_str() or implicitly through appending new
types/members), string-to-be-added would first be looked up from the base
BTF's string section and re-used if it's there. If not, it will be looked up
and/or added to the split BTF string section. Similarly to type IDs, types in
split BTF can refer to strings from base BTF absolutely transparently (but not
vice versa, of course, because base BTF doesn't "know" about existence of
split BTF).
Internal type index is slightly adjusted to be zero-indexed, ignoring a fake
[0] VOID type. This allows to handle split/base BTF type lookups transparently
by using btf->start_id type ID offset, which is always 1 for base/non-split
BTF and equals btf__get_nr_types(base_btf) + 1 for the split BTF.
BTF deduplication is not yet supported for split BTF and support for it will
be added in separate patch.

Teach BTF to recognized wrong endianness and transparently convert it
internally to host endianness. Original endianness of BTF will be preserved
and used during btf__get_raw_data() to convert resulting raw data to the same
endianness and a source raw_data. This means that little-endian host can parse
big-endian BTF with no issues, all the type data will be presented to the
client application in native endianness, but when it's time for emitting BTF
to persist it in a file (e.g., after BTF deduplication), original non-native
endianness will be preserved and stored.
It's possible to query original endianness of BTF data with new
btf__endianness() API. It's also possible to override desired output
endianness with btf__set_endianness(), so that if application needs to load,
say, big-endian BTF and store it as little-endian BTF, it's possible to
manually override this. If btf__set_endianness() was used to change
endianness, btf__endianness() will reflect overridden endianness.
Given there are no known use cases for supporting cross-endianness for
.BTF.ext, loading .BTF.ext in non-native endianness is not supported.

BTF strings are used not just for names, they can be arbitrary strings used
for CO-RE relocations, line/func infos, etc. Thus "name_by_offset" terminology
is too specific and might be misleading. Instead, introduce
btf__str_by_offset() API which uses generic string terminology.

Add APIs for appending new BTF types at the end of BTF object.
Each BTF kind has either one API of the form btf__add_<kind>(). For types
that have variable amount of additional items (struct/union, enum, func_proto,
datasec), additional API is provided to emit each such item. E.g., for
emitting a struct, one would use the following sequence of API calls:
btf__add_struct(...);
btf__add_field(...);
...
btf__add_field(...);
Each btf__add_field() will ensure that the last BTF type is of STRUCT or
UNION kind and will automatically increment that type's vlen field.
All the strings are provided as C strings (const char *), not a string offset.
This significantly improves usability of BTF writer APIs. All such strings
will be automatically appended to string section or existing string will be
re-used, if such string was already added previously.
Each API attempts to do all the reasonable validations, like enforcing
non-empty names for entities with required names, proper value bounds, various
bit offset restrictions, etc.
Type ID validation is minimal because it's possible to emit a type that refers
to type that will be emitted later, so libbpf has no way to enforce such
cases. User must be careful to properly emit all the necessary types and
specify type IDs that will be valid in the finally generated BTF.
Each of btf__add_<kind>() APIs return new type ID on success or negative
value on error. APIs like btf__add_field() that emit additional items
return zero on success and negative value on error.

Allow internal BTF representation to switch from default read-only mode, in
which raw BTF data is a single non-modifiable block of memory with BTF header,
types, and strings layed out sequentially and contiguously in memory, into
a writable representation with types and strings data split out into separate
memory regions, that can be dynamically expanded.
Such writable internal representation is transparent to users of libbpf APIs,
but allows to append new types and strings at the end of BTF, which is
a typical use case when generating BTF programmatically. All the basic
guarantees of BTF types and strings layout is preserved, i.e., user can get
`struct btf_type *` pointer and read it directly. Such btf_type pointers might
be invalidated if BTF is modified, so some care is required in such mixed
read/write scenarios.
Switch from read-only to writable configuration happens automatically the
first time when user attempts to modify BTF by either adding a new type or new
string. It is still possible to get raw BTF data, which is a single piece of
memory that can be persisted in ELF section or into a file as raw BTF. Such
raw data memory is also still owned by BTF and will be freed either when BTF
object is freed or if another modification to BTF happens, as any modification
invalidates BTF raw representation.
This patch adds the first two BTF manipulation APIs: btf__add_str(), which
allows to add arbitrary strings to BTF string section, and btf__find_str()
which allows to find existing string offset, but not add it if it's missing.
All the added strings are automatically deduplicated. This is achieved by
maintaining an additional string lookup index for all unique strings. Such
index is built when BTF is switched to modifiable mode. If at that time BTF
strings section contained duplicate strings, they are not de-duplicated. This
is done specifically to not modify the existing content of BTF (types, their
string offsets, etc), which can cause confusion and is especially important
property if there is struct btf_ext associated with struct btf. By following
this "imperfect deduplication" process, btf_ext is kept consitent and correct.
If deduplication of strings is necessary, it can be forced by doing BTF
deduplication, at which point all the strings will be eagerly deduplicated and
all string offsets both in struct btf and struct btf_ext will be updated.

adjusting .BTF.ext's line and function information. Mark exposed
btf_ext__reloc_func_info() and btf_ext__reloc_func_info() APIs as deprecated.
These APIs have simplistic assumption that all sub-programs are going to be
appended to all main BPF programs, which doesn't hold in real life. It's
unlikely there are any users of this API, as it's very libbpf
internals-specific.

With libbpf and BTF it is pretty common to have libbpf built for one
architecture, while BTF information was generated for a different architecture
(typically, but not always, BPF). In such case, the size of a pointer might
differ betweem architectures. libbpf previously was always making an
assumption that pointer size for BTF is the same as native architecture
pointer size, but that breaks for cases where libbpf is built as 32-bit
library, while BTF is for 64-bit architecture.
To solve this, add heuristic to determine pointer size by searching for `long`
or `unsigned long` integer type and using its size as a pointer size. Also,
allow to override the pointer size with a new API btf__set_pointer_size(), for
cases where application knows which pointer size should be used. User
application can check what libbpf "guessed" by looking at the result of
btf__pointer_size(). If it's not 0, then libbpf successfully determined a
pointer size, otherwise native arch pointer size will be used.
For cases where BTF is parsed from ELF file, use ELF's class (32-bit or
64-bit) to determine pointer size.

One important use case when emitting const/volatile/restrict is undesirable is
BPF skeleton generation of DATASEC layout. These are further memory-mapped and
can be written/read from user-space directly.
For important case of .rodata variables, bpftool strips away first-level
modifiers, to make their use on user-space side simple and not requiring extra
type casts to override compiler complaining about writing to const variables.
This logic works mostly fine, but breaks in some more complicated cases. E.g.:
const volatile int params[10];
Because in BTF it's a chain of ARRAY -> CONST -> VOLATILE -> INT, bpftool
stops at ARRAY and doesn't strip CONST and VOLATILE. In skeleton this variable
will be emitted as is. So when used from user-space, compiler will complain
about writing to const array. This is problematic, as also mentioned in [0].
To solve this for arrays and other non-trivial cases (e.g., inner
const/volatile fields inside the struct), teach btf_dump to strip away any
modifier, when requested. This is done as an extra option on
btf_dump__emit_type_decl() API.

0f0e55d8247c ("libbpf: Improve BTF sanitization handling"). While fixing it,
I realized that btf__new() already creates a memory copy, so there is no need
to do this. So this patch also fixes misleading btf__new() signature to make
data into a `const void *` input parameter. And it avoids unnecessary memory

Add setter for BTF FD to allow application more fine-grained control in more
advanced scenarios. Storing BTF FD inside `struct btf` provides little benefit
and probably would be better done differently (e.g., btf__load() could just
return FD on success), but we are stuck with this due to backwards
compatibility. The main problem is that it's impossible to load BTF and than
free user-space memory, but keep FD intact, because `struct btf` assumes
ownership of that FD upon successful load and will attempt to close it during
btf__free(). To allow callers (e.g., libbpf itself for BTF sanitization) to
have more control over this, add btf__set_fd() to allow to reset FD
arbitrarily, if necessary.

Add support for another (in addition to existing Kconfig) special kind of
externs in BPF code, kernel symbol externs. Such externs allow BPF code to
"know" kernel symbol address and either use it for comparisons with kernel
data structures (e.g., struct file's f_op pointer, to distinguish different
kinds of file), or, with the help of bpf_probe_user_kernel(), to follow
pointers and read data from global variables. Kernel symbol addresses are
found through /proc/kallsyms, which should be present in the system.
Currently, such kernel symbol variables are typeless: they have to be defined
as `extern const void <symbol>` and the only operation you can do (in C code)
with them is to take its address. Such extern should reside in a special
section '.ksyms'. bpf_helpers.h header provides __ksym macro for this. Strong
vs weak semantics stays the same as with Kconfig externs. If symbol is not
found in /proc/kallsyms, this will be a failure for strong (non-weak) extern,
but will be defaulted to 0 for weak externs.
If the same symbol is defined multiple times in /proc/kallsyms, then it will
be error if any of the associated addresses differs. In that case, address is
ambiguous, so libbpf falls on the side of caution, rather than confusing user
with randomly chosen address.
In the future, once kernel is extended with variables BTF information, such
ksym externs will be supported in a typed version, which will allow BPF
program to read variable's contents directly, similarly to how it's done for
fentry/fexit input arguments.

BTF offset reloc was generalized in recent Clang into field relocation,
capturing extra u32 field, specifying what aspect of captured field
needs to be relocated. This changes .BTF.ext's record size for this
relocation from 12 bytes to 16 bytes. Given these format changes
happened in Clang before official released version, it's ok to not
support outdated 12-byte record size w/o breaking ABI.

Add support for BPF CO-RE offset relocations. Add section/record
iteration macros for .BTF.ext. These macro are useful for iterating over
each .BTF.ext record, either for dumping out contents or later for BPF
CO-RE relocation handling.
To enable other parts of libbpf to work with .BTF.ext contents, moved
a bunch of type definitions into libbpf_internal.h.

This patch adds support for a new way to define BPF maps. It relies on
BTF to describe mandatory and optional attributes of a map, as well as
captures type information of key and value naturally. This eliminates
the need for BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR hack and ensures key/value sizes are
always in sync with the key/value type.
Relying on BTF, this approach allows for both forward and backward
compatibility w.r.t. extending supported map definition features. By
default, any unrecognized attributes are treated as an error, but it's
possible relax this using MAPS_RELAX_COMPAT flag. New attributes, added
in the future will need to be optional.
The outline of the new map definition (short, BTF-defined maps) is as follows:
1. All the maps should be defined in .maps ELF section. It's possible to
have both "legacy" map definitions in `maps` sections and BTF-defined
maps in .maps sections. Everything will still work transparently.
2. The map declaration and initialization is done through
a global/static variable of a struct type with few mandatory and
extra optional fields:
- type field is mandatory and specified type of BPF map;
- key/value fields are mandatory and capture key/value type/size information;
- max_entries attribute is optional; if max_entries is not specified or
initialized, it has to be provided in runtime through libbpf API
before loading bpf_object;
- map_flags is optional and if not defined, will be assumed to be 0.
3. Key/value fields should be **a pointer** to a type describing
key/value. The pointee type is assumed (and will be recorded as such
and used for size determination) to be a type describing key/value of
the map. This is done to save excessive amounts of space allocated in
corresponding ELF sections for key/value of big size.
4. As some maps disallow having BTF type ID associated with key/value,
it's possible to specify key/value size explicitly without
associating BTF type ID with it. Use key_size and value_size fields
to do that (see example below).
Here's an example of simple ARRAY map defintion:
struct my_value { int x, y, z; };
struct {
int type;
int max_entries;
int *key;
struct my_value *value;
} btf_map SEC(".maps") = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
.max_entries = 16,
};
This will define BPF ARRAY map 'btf_map' with 16 elements. The key will
be of type int and thus key size will be 4 bytes. The value is struct
my_value of size 12 bytes. This map can be used from C code exactly the
same as with existing maps defined through struct bpf_map_def.
Here's an example of STACKMAP definition (which currently disallows BTF type
IDs for key/value):
struct {
__u32 type;
__u32 max_entries;
__u32 map_flags;
__u32 key_size;
__u32 value_size;
} stackmap SEC(".maps") = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE,
.max_entries = 128,
.map_flags = BPF_F_STACK_BUILD_ID,
.key_size = sizeof(__u32),
.value_size = PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH * sizeof(struct bpf_stack_build_id),
};
This approach is naturally extended to support map-in-map, by making a value
field to be another struct that describes inner map. This feature is not
implemented yet. It's also possible to incrementally add features like pinning
with full backwards and forward compatibility. Support for static
initialization of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY using pointers to BPF programs
is also on the roadmap.

BTF contains enough type information to allow generating valid
compilable C header w/ correct layout of structs/unions and all the
typedef/enum definitions. This patch adds a new "object" - btf_dump to
facilitate dumping BTF as valid C. btf_dump__dump_type() is the main API
which takes care of dumping out (through user-provided printf-like
callback function) C definitions for given type ID and it's required
dependencies. This allows for not just dumping out entirety of BTF types,
but also selective filtering based on user-provided criterias w/ minimal
set of dependent types.

Loading BTF and BTF.ext from ELF file is a common need. Instead of
requiring every user to re-implement it, let's provide this API from
libbpf itself. It's mostly copy/paste from `bpftool btf dump`
implementation, which will be switched to libbpf's version in next
patch. btf__parse_elf allows to load BTF and optionally BTF.ext.
This is also useful for tests that need to load/work with BTF, loaded
from test ELF files.

This adds libbpf support for BTF Var and DataSec kinds. Main point
here is that libbpf needs to do some preparatory work before the
whole BTF object can be loaded into the kernel, that is, fixing up
of DataSec size taken from the ELF section size and non-static
variable offset which needs to be taken from the ELF's string section.
Upstream LLVM doesn't fix these up since at time of BTF emission
it is too early in the compilation process thus this information
isn't available yet, hence loader needs to take care of it.
Note, deduplication handling has not been in the scope of this work
and needs to be addressed in a future commit.

Default size of dedup table (16k) is good enough for most binaries, even
typical vmlinux images. But there are cases of binaries with huge amount
of BTF types (e.g., allyesconfig variants of kernel), which benefit from
having bigger dedup table size to lower amount of unnecessary hash
collisions. Tools like pahole, thus, can tune this parameter to reach
optimal performance.
This change also serves double purpose of allowing tests to force hash
collisions to test some corner cases, used in follow up patch.

This change splits out previous btf__new functionality of constructing
struct btf and loading it into kernel into two:
- btf__new() just creates and initializes struct btf
- btf__load() attempts to load existing struct btf into kernel
btf__free will still close BTF fd, if it was ever loaded successfully
into kernel.
This change allows users of libbpf to manipulate BTF using its API,
without the need to unnecessarily load it into kernel.
One of the intended use cases is pahole, which will do DWARF to BTF
conversion and then use libbpf to do type deduplication, while then
handling ELF sections overwriting and other concerns on its own.

Commit 96408c43447a ("tools/bpf: implement libbpf btf__get_map_kv_tids() API function")
added the API function btf__get_map_kv_tids():
btf__get_map_kv_tids(const struct btf *btf, char *map_name, ...)
The parameter map_name has type "char *". This is okay inside libbpf library since
the map_name is from bpf_map->name which also has type "char *".
This will be problematic if the caller for map_name already has attribute "const",
e.g., from C++ string.c_str(). It will result in either a warning or an error.

This patch implements BTF types deduplication algorithm. It allows to
greatly compress typical output of pahole's DWARF-to-BTF conversion or
LLVM's compilation output by detecting and collapsing identical types emitted in
isolation per compilation unit. Algorithm also resolves struct/union forward
declarations into concrete BTF types representing referenced struct/union. If
undesired, this resolution can be disabled through specifying corresponding options.
Algorithm itself and its application to Linux kernel's BTF types is
described in details at:

Currently, to get map key/value type id's, the macro
BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(<map_name>, <key_type>, <value_type>)
needs to be defined in the bpf program for the
corresponding map.
During program/map loading time,
the local static function bpf_map_find_btf_info()
in libbpf.c is implemented to retrieve the key/value
type ids given the map name.
The patch refactored function bpf_map_find_btf_info()
to create an API btf__get_map_kv_tids() which includes
the bulk of implementation for the original function.
The API btf__get_map_kv_tids() can be used by bcc,
a JIT based bpf compilation system, which uses the
same BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR to record map key/value types.

A global function libbpf_print, which is invisible
outside the shared library, is defined to print based
on levels. The pr_warning, pr_info and pr_debug
macros are moved into the newly created header
common.h. So any .c file including common.h can
use these macros directly.
Currently btf__new and btf_ext__new API has an argument getting
__pr_debug function pointer into btf.c so the debugging information
can be printed there. This patch removed this parameter
from btf__new and btf_ext__new and directly using pr_debug in btf.c.
Another global function libbpf_print_level_available, also
invisible outside the shared library, can test
whether a particular level debug printing is
available or not. It is used in btf.c to
test whether DEBUG level debug printing is availabl or not,
based on which the log buffer will be allocated when loading
btf to the kernel.

2) Relocating the line_info. If the main prog *_info relocation

If the subprog *_info relocation fails, it will bail out.

This patch refactor and fix a bug in the libbpf's bpf_func_info loading
logic. The bug fix and refactoring are targeting the same
commit 2993e0515bb4 ("tools/bpf: add support to read .BTF.ext sections")
which is in the bpf-next branch.
1) In bpf_load_program_xattr(), it should retry when errno == E2BIG
regardless of log_buf and log_buf_sz. This patch fixes it.
2) btf_ext__reloc_init() and btf_ext__reloc() are essentially
the same except btf_ext__reloc_init() always has insns_cnt == 0.
Hence, btf_ext__reloc_init() is removed.
btf_ext__reloc() is also renamed to btf_ext__reloc_func_info()
to get ready for the line_info support in the next patch.
3) Consolidate func_info section logic from "btf_ext_parse_hdr()",
"btf_ext_validate_func_info()" and "btf_ext__new()" to
a new function "btf_ext_copy_func_info()" such that similar
logic can be reused by the later libbpf's line_info patch.
4) The next line_info patch will store line_info_cnt instead of
line_info_len in the bpf_program because the kernel is taking
line_info_cnt also. It will save a few "len" to "cnt" conversions
and will also save some function args.
Hence, this patch also makes bpf_program to store func_info_cnt
instead of func_info_len.
5) btf_ext depends on btf. e.g. the func_info's type_id
in ".BTF.ext" is not useful when ".BTF" is absent.
This patch only init the obj->btf_ext pointer after
it has successfully init the obj->btf pointer.
This can avoid always checking "obj->btf && obj->btf_ext"
together for accessing ".BTF.ext". Checking "obj->btf_ext"
alone will do.
6) Move "struct btf_sec_func_info" from btf.h to btf.c.
There is no external usage outside btf.c.
