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.

BPF program title is ambigious and misleading term. It is ELF section name, so
let's just call it that and deprecate bpf_program__title() API in favor of
bpf_program__section_name().
Additionally, using bpf_object__find_program_by_title() is now inherently
dangerous and ambiguous, as multiple BPF program can have the same section
name. So deprecate this API as well and recommend to switch to non-ambiguous
bpf_object__find_program_by_name().
Internally, clean up usage and mis-usage of BPF program section name for
denoting BPF program name. Shorten the field name to prog->sec_name to be

Add support for shared umems between hardware queues and devices to
the AF_XDP part of libbpf. This so that zero-copy can be achieved in
applications that want to send and receive packets between HW queues
on one device or between different devices/netdevs.
In order to create sockets that share a umem between hardware queues
and devices, a new function has been added called
xsk_socket__create_shared(). It takes the same arguments as
xsk_socket_create() plus references to a fill ring and a completion
ring. So for every socket that share a umem, you need to have one more
set of fill and completion rings. This in order to maintain the
single-producer single-consumer semantics of the rings.
You can create all the sockets via the new xsk_socket__create_shared()
call, or create the first one with xsk_socket__create() and the rest
with xsk_socket__create_shared(). Both methods work.

Add a set of APIs to perf_buffer manage to allow applications to integrate
perf buffer polling into existing epoll-based infrastructure. One example is
applications using libevent already and wanting to plug perf_buffer polling,
instead of relying on perf_buffer__poll() and waste an extra thread to do it.
But perf_buffer is still extremely useful to set up and consume perf buffer
rings even for such use cases.
So to accomodate such new use cases, add three new APIs:
- perf_buffer__buffer_cnt() returns number of per-CPU buffers maintained by
given instance of perf_buffer manager;
- perf_buffer__buffer_fd() returns FD of perf_event corresponding to
a specified per-CPU buffer; this FD is then polled independently;
- perf_buffer__consume_buffer() consumes data from single per-CPU buffer,
identified by its slot index.
To support a simpler, but less efficient, way to integrate perf_buffer into
external polling logic, also expose underlying epoll FD through
perf_buffer__epoll_fd() API. It will need to be followed by
perf_buffer__poll(), wasting extra syscall, or perf_buffer__consume(), wasting
CPU to iterate buffers with no data. But could be simpler and more convenient
for some cases.
These APIs allow for great flexiblity, but do not sacrifice general usability
of perf_buffer.
Also exercise and check new APIs in perf_buffer selftest.

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.

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.

Currently, bpf_object__load() (and by induction skeleton's load), will always
attempt to prepare, relocate, and load into kernel every single BPF program
found inside the BPF object file. This is often convenient and the right thing
to do and what users expect.
But there are plenty of cases (especially with BPF development constantly
picking up the pace), where BPF application is intended to work with old
kernels, with potentially reduced set of features. But on kernels supporting
extra features, it would like to take a full advantage of them, by employing
extra BPF program. This could be a choice of using fentry/fexit over
kprobe/kretprobe, if kernel is recent enough and is built with BTF. Or BPF
program might be providing optimized bpf_iter-based solution that user-space
might want to use, whenever available. And so on.
With libbpf and BPF CO-RE in particular, it's advantageous to not have to
maintain two separate BPF object files to achieve this. So to enable such use
cases, this patch adds ability to request not auto-loading chosen BPF
programs. In such case, libbpf won't attempt to perform relocations (which
might fail due to old kernel), won't try to resolve BTF types for
BTF-aware (tp_btf/fentry/fexit/etc) program types, because BTF might not be
present, and so on. Skeleton will also automatically skip auto-attachment step
for such not loaded BPF programs.
Overall, this feature allows to simplify development and deployment of
real-world BPF applications with complicated compatibility requirements.

Add a bunch of getter for various aspects of BPF map. Some of these attribute
(e.g., key_size, value_size, type, etc) are available right now in struct
bpf_map_def, but this patch adds getter allowing to fetch them individually.
bpf_map_def approach isn't very scalable, when ABI stability requirements are
taken into account. It's much easier to extend libbpf and add support for new
features, when each aspect of BPF map has separate getter/setter.
Getters follow the common naming convention of not explicitly having "get" in
its name: bpf_map__type() returns map type, bpf_map__key_size() returns
key_size. Setters, though, explicitly have set in their name:
bpf_map__set_type(), bpf_map__set_key_size().
This patch ensures we now have a getter and a setter for the following
map attributes:
- type;
- max_entries;
- map_flags;
- numa_node;
- key_size;
- value_size;
- ifindex.
bpf_map__resize() enforces unnecessary restriction of max_entries > 0. It is
unnecessary, because libbpf actually supports zero max_entries for some cases
(e.g., for PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map) and treats it specially during map creation
time. To allow setting max_entries=0, new bpf_map__set_max_entries() setter is
added. bpf_map__resize()'s behavior is preserved for backwards compatibility
reasons.
Map ifindex getter is added as well. There is a setter already, but no
corresponding getter. Fix this assymetry as well. bpf_map__set_ifindex()
itself is converted from void function into error-returning one, similar to
other setters. The only error returned right now is -EBUSY, if BPF map is
already loaded and has corresponding FD.
One lacking attribute with no ability to get/set or even specify it
declaratively is numa_node. This patch fixes this gap and both adds
programmatic getter/setter, as well as adds support for numa_node field in
BTF-defined map.

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.

With bpf_link abstraction supported by kernel explicitly, add
pinning/unpinning API for links. Also allow to create (open) bpf_link from BPF
FS file.
This API allows to have an "ephemeral" FD-based BPF links (like raw tracepoint
or fexit/freplace attachments) surviving user process exit, by pinning them in
a BPF FS, which is an important use case for long-running BPF programs.
As part of this, expose underlying FD for bpf_link. While legacy bpf_link's
might not have a FD associated with them (which will be expressed as
a bpf_link with fd=-1), kernel's abstraction is based around FD-based usage,
so match it closely. This, subsequently, allows to have a generic
pinning/unpinning API for generalized bpf_link. For some types of bpf_links
kernel might not support pinning, in which case bpf_link__pin() will return
error.

as above. libbpf creates a map for each variable and the variable name
is the map's name. Multiple struct_ops is supported under
SEC(".struct_ops").
In the bpf_object__open phase, libbpf will look for the SEC(".struct_ops")
section and find out what is the btf-type the struct_ops is
implementing. Note that the btf-type here is referring to
a type in the bpf_prog.o's btf. A "struct bpf_map" is added
by bpf_object__add_map() as other maps do. It will then
collect (through SHT_REL) where are the bpf progs that the
func ptrs are referring to. No btf_vmlinux is needed in
the open phase.
In the bpf_object__load phase, the map-fields, which depend
on the btf_vmlinux, are initialized (in bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()).
It will also set the prog->type, prog->attach_btf_id, and
prog->expected_attach_type. Thus, the prog's properties do
not rely on its section name.
[ Currently, the bpf_prog's btf-type ==> btf_vmlinux's btf-type matching
process is as simple as: member-name match + btf-kind match + size match.
If these matching conditions fail, libbpf will reject.
The current targeting support is "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which
most of its members are function pointers.
The member ordering of the bpf_prog's btf-type can be different from
the btf_vmlinux's btf-type. ]
Then, all obj->maps are created as usual (in bpf_object__create_maps()).
Once the maps are created and prog's properties are all set,
the libbpf will proceed to load all the progs.
bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() is added to register a struct_ops
map to a kernel subsystem.

Introduce a new bpf_prog_attach_xattr function that, in addition to
program fd, target fd and attach type, accepts an extendable struct
bpf_prog_attach_opts.
bpf_prog_attach_opts relies on DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS macro to maintain
backward and forward compatibility and has the following "optional"
attach attributes:
* existing attach_flags, since it's not required when attaching in NONE
mode. Even though it's quite often used in MULTI and OVERRIDE mode it
seems to be a good idea to reduce number of arguments to
bpf_prog_attach_xattr;
* newly introduced attribute of BPF_PROG_ATTACH command: replace_prog_fd
that is fd of previously attached cgroup-bpf program to replace if
BPF_F_REPLACE flag is used.
The new function is named to be consistent with other xattr-functions
(bpf_prog_test_run_xattr, bpf_create_map_xattr, bpf_load_program_xattr).
The struct bpf_prog_attach_opts is supposed to be used with
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS macro.

There are cases in which BPF resource (program, map, etc) has to outlive
userspace program that "installed" it in the system in the first place.
When BPF program is attached, libbpf returns bpf_link object, which
is supposed to be destroyed after no longer necessary through
bpf_link__destroy() API. Currently, bpf_link destruction causes both automatic
detachment and frees up any resources allocated to for bpf_link in-memory
representation. This is inconvenient for the case described above because of
coupling of detachment and resource freeing.
This patch introduces bpf_link__disconnect() API call, which marks bpf_link as
disconnected from its underlying BPF resouces. This means that when bpf_link
is destroyed later, all its memory resources will be freed, but BPF resource
itself won't be detached.
This design allows to follow strict and resource-leak-free design by default,
while giving easy and straightforward way for user code to opt for keeping BPF
resource attached beyond lifetime of a bpf_link. For some BPF programs (i.e.,
FS-based tracepoints, kprobes, raw tracepoint, etc), user has to make sure to
pin BPF program to prevent kernel to automatically detach it on process exit.
This should typically be achived by pinning BPF program (or map in some cases)
in BPF FS.

Add new set of APIs, allowing to open/load/attach BPF object through BPF
object skeleton, generated by bpftool for a specific BPF object file. All the
xxx_skeleton() APIs wrap up corresponding bpf_object_xxx() APIs, but
additionally also automate map/program lookups by name, global data
initialization and mmap()-ing, etc. All this greatly improves and simplifies
userspace usability of working with BPF programs. See follow up patches for

Add APIs to get BPF program function name, as opposed to bpf_program__title(),
which returns BPF program function's section name. Function name has a benefit
of being a valid C identifier and uniquely identifies a specific BPF program,
while section name can be duplicated across multiple independent BPF programs.
Add also bpf_object__find_program_by_name(), similar to
bpf_object__find_program_by_title(), to facilitate looking up BPF programs by
their C function names.

Generalize BPF program attaching and allow libbpf to auto-detect type (and
extra parameters, where applicable) and attach supported BPF program types
based on program sections. Currently this is supported for:
- kprobe/kretprobe;
- tracepoint;
- raw tracepoint;
- tracing programs (typed raw TP/fentry/fexit).
More types support can be trivially added within this framework.

Support storing and setting a pin path in struct bpf_map, which can be used
for automatic pinning. Also store the pin status so we can avoid attempts
to re-pin a map that has already been pinned (or reused from a previous
pinning).
The behaviour of bpf_object__{un,}pin_maps() is changed so that if it is
called with a NULL path argument (which was previously illegal), it will
(un)pin only those maps that have a pin_path set.

Add new set of bpf_object__open APIs using new approach to optional
parameters extensibility allowing simpler ABI compatibility approach.
This patch demonstrates an approach to implementing libbpf APIs that
makes it easy to extend existing APIs with extra optional parameters in
such a way, that ABI compatibility is preserved without having to do
symbol versioning and generating lots of boilerplate code to handle it.
To facilitate succinct code for working with options, add OPTS_VALID,
OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET macros that hide all the NULL, size, and zero
checks.
Additionally, newly added libbpf APIs are encouraged to follow similar
pattern of having all mandatory parameters as formal function parameters
and always have optional (NULL-able) xxx_opts struct, which should
always have real struct size as a first field and the rest would be
optional parameters added over time, which tune the behavior of existing
API, if specified by user.
