This reverts commit a777e18f1b.
In commit a777e18f1b ("bpftool: Use libbpf 1.0 API mode instead of
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK"), we removed the rlimit bump in bpftool, because the
kernel has switched to memcg-based memory accounting. Thanks to the
LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, we attempted to keep compatibility
with other systems and ask libbpf to raise the limit for us if
necessary.
How do we know if memcg-based accounting is supported? There is a probe
in libbpf to check this. But this probe currently relies on the
availability of a given BPF helper, bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns(), which
landed in the same kernel version as the memory accounting change. This
works in the generic case, but it may fail, for example, if the helper
function has been backported to an older kernel. This has been observed
for Google Cloud's Container-Optimized OS (COS), where the helper is
available but rlimit is still in use. The probe succeeds, the rlimit is
not raised, and probing features with bpftool, for example, fails.
A patch was submitted [0] to update this probe in libbpf, based on what
the cilium/ebpf Go library does [1]. It would lower the soft rlimit to
0, attempt to load a BPF object, and reset the rlimit. But it may induce
some hard-to-debug flakiness if another process starts, or the current
application is killed, while the rlimit is reduced, and the approach was
discarded.
As a workaround to ensure that the rlimit bump does not depend on the
availability of a given helper, we restore the unconditional rlimit bump
in bpftool for now.

We have switched to memcg-based memory accouting and thus the rlimit is
not needed any more. LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was introduced in
libbpf for backward compatibility, so we can use it instead now.
libbpf_set_strict_mode always return 0, so we don't need to check whether
the return value is 0 or not.

Commit 82e6b1eee6 ("bpf: Allow to specify user-provided bpf_cookie for
BPF perf links") introduced the concept of user specified bpf_cookie,
which could be accessed by BPF programs using bpf_get_attach_cookie().
For troubleshooting purposes it is convenient to expose bpf_cookie via
bpftool as well, so there is no need to meddle with the target BPF
program itself.
Implemented using the pid iterator BPF program to actually fetch
bpf_cookies, which allows constraining code changes only to bpftool.

hashmap__new() encodes errors with ERR_PTR(), hence it's not valid to
check the returned pointer against NULL and IS_ERR() has to be used
instead.
libbpf_get_error() can't be used in this case as hashmap__new() is not
part of the public libbpf API and it'll continue using ERR_PTR() after
libbpf 1.0.

In order to show PIDs and names for processes holding references to BPF
programs, maps, links, or BTF objects, bpftool creates hash maps to
store all relevant information. This commit is part of a set that
transitions from the kernel's hash map implementation to the one coming
with libbpf.
The motivation is to make bpftool less dependent of kernel headers, to
ease the path to a potential out-of-tree mirror, like libbpf has.
This is the third and final step of the transition, in which we convert
the hash maps used for storing the information about the processes
holding references to BPF objects (programs, maps, links, BTF), and at
last we drop the inclusion of tools/include/linux/hashtable.h.
Note: Checkpatch complains about the use of __weak declarations, and the
missing empty lines after the bunch of empty function declarations when
compiling without the BPF skeletons (none of these were introduced in
this patch). We want to keep things as they are, and the reports should
be safe to ignore.

In case of having so many PID results that they don't fit into a singe page
(4096) bytes, bpftool will erroneously conclude that it got corrupted data due
to 4096 not being a multiple of struct pid_iter_entry, so the last entry will
be partially truncated. Fix this by sizing the buffer to fit exactly N entries
with no truncation in the middle of record.

emit_obj_refs_json needs to added the same as with emit_obj_refs_plain
to prevent segfaults, similar to Commit "8ae4121bd89e bpf: Fix bpftool

Fix segfault from bpftool by adding emit_obj_refs_plain when skeleton
code is disabled.
Tested by deleting BUILD_BPF_SKELS in Makefile. We found this doing
backports for Cilium when a testing image pulled in latest bpf-next
bpftool, but kept using an older clang-7.
