Remove deprecated xsk APIs from libbpf. But given we have selftests
relying on this, move those files (with minimal adjustments to make them
compilable) under selftests/bpf.
We also remove all the removed APIs from libbpf.map, while overall
keeping version inheritance chain, as most APIs are backwards
compatible so there is no need to reassign them as LIBBPF_1.0.0 versions.

Wire up libbpf USDT support APIs without yet implementing all the
nitty-gritty details of USDT discovery, spec parsing, and BPF map
initialization.
User-visible user-space API is simple and is conceptually very similar
to uprobe API.
bpf_program__attach_usdt() API allows to programmatically attach given
BPF program to a USDT, specified through binary path (executable or
shared lib), USDT provider and name. Also, just like in uprobe case, PID
filter is specified (0 - self, -1 - any process, or specific PID).
Optionally, USDT cookie value can be specified. Such single API
invocation will try to discover given USDT in specified binary and will
use (potentially many) BPF uprobes to attach this program in correct
locations.
Just like any bpf_program__attach_xxx() APIs, bpf_link is returned that
represents this attachment. It is a virtual BPF link that doesn't have
direct kernel object, as it can consist of multiple underlying BPF
uprobe links. As such, attachment is not atomic operation and there can
be brief moment when some USDT call sites are attached while others are
still in the process of attaching. This should be taken into
consideration by user. But bpf_program__attach_usdt() guarantees that
in the case of success all USDT call sites are successfully attached, or
all the successfuly attachments will be detached as soon as some USDT
call sites failed to be attached. So, in theory, there could be cases of
failed bpf_program__attach_usdt() call which did trigger few USDT
program invocations. This is unavoidable due to multi-uprobe nature of
USDT and has to be handled by user, if it's important to create an
illusion of atomicity.
USDT BPF programs themselves are marked in BPF source code as either
SEC("usdt"), in which case they won't be auto-attached through
skeleton's <skel>__attach() method, or it can have a full definition,
which follows the spirit of fully-specified uprobes:
SEC("usdt/<path>:<provider>:<name>"). In the latter case skeleton's
attach method will attempt auto-attachment. Similarly, generic
bpf_program__attach() will have enought information to go off of for
parameterless attachment.
USDT BPF programs are actually uprobes, and as such for kernel they are
marked as BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE.
Another part of this patch is USDT-related feature probing:
- BPF cookie support detection from user-space;
- detection of kernel support for auto-refcounting of USDT semaphore.
The latter is optional. If kernel doesn't support such feature and USDT
doesn't rely on USDT semaphores, no error is returned. But if libbpf
detects that USDT requires setting semaphores and kernel doesn't support
this, libbpf errors out with explicit pr_warn() message. Libbpf doesn't
support poking process's memory directly to increment semaphore value,
like BCC does on legacy kernels, due to inherent raciness and danger of
such process memory manipulation. Libbpf let's kernel take care of this
properly or gives up.
Logistically, all the extra USDT-related infrastructure of libbpf is put
into a separate usdt.c file and abstracted behind struct usdt_manager.
Each bpf_object has lazily-initialized usdt_manager pointer, which is
only instantiated if USDT programs are attempted to be attached. Closing
BPF object frees up usdt_manager resources. usdt_manager keeps track of
USDT spec ID assignment and few other small things.
Subsequent patches will fill out remaining missing pieces of USDT
initialization and setup logic.

The BPF program loading process performed by libbpf is quite complex
and consists of the following steps:
"open" phase:
- parse elf file and remember relocations, sections
- collect externs and ksyms including their btf_ids in prog's BTF
- patch BTF datasec (since llvm couldn't do it)
- init maps (old style map_def, BTF based, global data map, kconfig map)
- collect relocations against progs and maps
"load" phase:
- probe kernel features
- load vmlinux BTF
- resolve externs (kconfig and ksym)
- load program BTF
- init struct_ops
- create maps
- apply CO-RE relocations
- patch ld_imm64 insns with src_reg=PSEUDO_MAP, PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE, PSEUDO_BTF_ID
- reposition subprograms and adjust call insns
- sanitize and load progs
During this process libbpf does sys_bpf() calls to load BTF, create maps,
populate maps and finally load programs.
Instead of actually doing the syscalls generate a trace of what libbpf
would have done and represent it as the "loader program".
The "loader program" consists of single map with:
- union bpf_attr(s)
- BTF bytes
- map value bytes
- insns bytes
and single bpf program that passes bpf_attr(s) and data into bpf_sys_bpf() helper.
Executing such "loader program" via bpf_prog_test_run() command will
replay the sequence of syscalls that libbpf would have done which will result
the same maps created and programs loaded as specified in the elf file.
The "loader program" removes libelf and majority of libbpf dependency from
program loading process.
kconfig, typeless ksym, struct_ops and CO-RE are not supported yet.
The order of relocate_data and relocate_calls had to change, so that
bpf_gen__prog_load() can see all relocations for a given program with
correct insn_idx-es.

Introduce BPF static linker APIs to libbpf. BPF static linker allows to
perform static linking of multiple BPF object files into a single combined
resulting object file, preserving all the BPF programs, maps, global
variables, etc.
Data sections (.bss, .data, .rodata, .maps, maps, etc) with the same name are
concatenated together. Similarly, code sections are also concatenated. All the
symbols and ELF relocations are also concatenated in their respective ELF
sections and are adjusted accordingly to the new object file layout.
Static variables and functions are handled correctly as well, adjusting BPF
instructions offsets to reflect new variable/function offset within the
combined ELF section. Such relocations are referencing STT_SECTION symbols and
that stays intact.
Data sections in different files can have different alignment requirements, so
that is taken care of as well, adjusting sizes and offsets as necessary to
satisfy both old and new alignment requirements.
DWARF data sections are stripped out, currently. As well as LLLVM_ADDRSIG
section, which is ignored by libbpf in bpf_object__open() anyways. So, in
a way, BPF static linker is an analogue to `llvm-strip -g`, which is a pretty
nice property, especially if resulting .o file is then used to generate BPF
skeleton.
Original string sections are ignored and instead we construct our own set of
unique strings using libbpf-internal `struct strset` API.
To reduce the size of the patch, all the .BTF and .BTF.ext processing was
moved into a separate patch.
The high-level API consists of just 4 functions:
- bpf_linker__new() creates an instance of BPF static linker. It accepts
output filename and (currently empty) options struct;
- bpf_linker__add_file() takes input filename and appends it to the already
processed ELF data; it can be called multiple times, one for each BPF
ELF object file that needs to be linked in;
- bpf_linker__finalize() needs to be called to dump final ELF contents into
the output file, specified when bpf_linker was created; after
bpf_linker__finalize() is called, no more bpf_linker__add_file() and
bpf_linker__finalize() calls are allowed, they will return error;
- regardless of whether bpf_linker__finalize() was called or not,
bpf_linker__free() will free up all the used resources.
Currently, BPF static linker doesn't resolve cross-object file references
(extern variables and/or functions). This will be added in the follow up patch
set.

Declaring and instantiating BPF ring buffer doesn't require any changes to
libbpf, as it's just another type of maps. So using existing BTF-defined maps
syntax with __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF) and __uint(max_elements,
<size-of-ring-buf>) is all that's necessary to create and use BPF ring buffer.
This patch adds BPF ring buffer consumer to libbpf. It is very similar to
perf_buffer implementation in terms of API, but also attempts to fix some
minor problems and inconveniences with existing perf_buffer API.
ring_buffer support both single ring buffer use case (with just using
ring_buffer__new()), as well as allows to add more ring buffers, each with its
own callback and context. This allows to efficiently poll and consume
multiple, potentially completely independent, ring buffers, using single
epoll instance.
The latter is actually a problem in practice for applications
that are using multiple sets of perf buffers. They have to create multiple
instances for struct perf_buffer and poll them independently or in a loop,
each approach having its own problems (e.g., inability to use a common poll
timeout). struct ring_buffer eliminates this problem by aggregating many
independent ring buffer instances under the single "ring buffer manager".
Second, perf_buffer's callback can't return error, so applications that need
to stop polling due to error in data or data signalling the end, have to use
extra mechanisms to signal that polling has to stop. ring_buffer's callback
can return error, which will be passed through back to user code and can be
acted upon appropariately.
Two APIs allow to consume ring buffer data:
- ring_buffer__poll(), which will wait for data availability notification
and will consume data only from reported ring buffer(s); this API allows
to efficiently use resources by reading data only when it becomes
available;
- ring_buffer__consume(), will attempt to read new records regardless of
data availablity notification sub-system. This API is useful for cases
when lowest latency is required, in expense of burning CPU resources.

BTF contains enough type information to allow generating valid

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

There is a need for fast point lookups inside libbpf for multiple use
cases (e.g., name resolution for BTF-to-C conversion, by-name lookups in
BTF for upcoming BPF CO-RE relocation support, etc). This patch
implements simple resizable non-thread safe hashmap using single linked
list chains.
Four different insert strategies are supported:
- HASHMAP_ADD - only add key/value if key doesn't exist yet;
- HASHMAP_SET - add key/value pair if key doesn't exist yet; otherwise,
update value;
- HASHMAP_UPDATE - update value, if key already exists; otherwise, do
nothing and return -ENOENT;
- HASHMAP_APPEND - always add key/value pair, even if key already exists.
This turns hashmap into a multimap by allowing multiple values to be
associated with the same key. Most useful read API for such hashmap is
hashmap__for_each_key_entry() iteration. If hashmap__find() is still
used, it will return last inserted key/value entry (first in a bucket
chain).
For HASHMAP_SET and HASHMAP_UPDATE, old key/value pair is returned, so
that calling code can handle proper memory management, if necessary.

This commit adds AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason for this is
to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by offering
higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP
uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by
offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP
functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make
applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it
possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP
user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the
code from the sample application into their application, which is not
desirable.
The interface is composed of two parts:
* Low-level access interface to the four rings and the packet
* High-level control plane interface for creating and setting
up umems and af_xdp sockets as well as a simple XDP program.

Introduce probes for supported BPF program types in libbpf, and call it
from bpftool to test what types are available on the system. The probe
simply consists in loading a very basic program of that type and see if
the verifier complains or not.
Sample output:
# bpftool feature probe kernel
...
Scanning eBPF program types...
eBPF program_type socket_filter is available
eBPF program_type kprobe is available
eBPF program_type sched_cls is available
...
# bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel
{
...
"program_types": {
"have_socket_filter_prog_type": true,
"have_kprobe_prog_type": true,
"have_sched_cls_prog_type": true,
...
}
}
v5:
- In libbpf.map, move global symbol to a new LIBBPF_0.0.2 section.
- Rename (non-API function) prog_load() as probe_load().
v3:
- Get kernel version for checking kprobes availability from libbpf
instead of from bpftool. Do not pass kernel_version as an argument
when calling libbpf probes.
- Use a switch with all enum values for setting specific program
parameters just before probing, so that gcc complains at compile time
(-Wswitch-enum) if new prog types were added to the kernel but libbpf
was not updated.
- Add a comment in libbpf.h about setrlimit() usage to allow many
consecutive probe attempts.
v2:
- Move probes from bpftool to libbpf.
- Remove C-style macros output from this patch.

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Allow for RX stack hardening by implementing the kernel's flow
dissector in BPF. Idea was originally presented at netconf 2017 [0].
Quote from merge commit:
[...] Because of the rigorous checks of the BPF verifier, this
provides significant security guarantees. In particular, the BPF
flow dissector cannot get inside of an infinite loop, as with
CVE-2013-4348, because BPF programs are guaranteed to terminate.
It cannot read outside of packet bounds, because all memory accesses
are checked. Also, with BPF the administrator can decide which
protocols to support, reducing potential attack surface. Rarely
encountered protocols can be excluded from dissection and the
program can be updated without kernel recompile or reboot if a
bug is discovered. [...]
Also, a sample flow dissector has been implemented in BPF as part
of this work, from Petar and Willem.

2) Add support for bpftool to list currently active attachment
points of BPF networking programs providing a quick overview
similar to bpftool's perf subcommand, from Yonghong.
3) Fix a verifier pruning instability bug where a union member
from the register state was not cleared properly leading to
branches not being pruned despite them being valid candidates,
from Alexei.
4) Various smaller fast-path optimizations in XDP's map redirect

5) Enable to recognize BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY maps

6) Remove a duplicate check in libbpf that probes for function

8) Fix unused variable warning in bpf_getsockopt() helper when

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.
Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.
Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.
To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.
