Add the following functions to libbpf API:
* btf__add_type_attr()
* btf__add_decl_attr()
These functions allow to add to BTF the type tags and decl tags with
info->kflag set to 1. The kflag indicates that the tag directly
encodes an __attribute__ and not a normal tag.
See Documentation/bpf/btf.rst changes in the subsequent patch for
details on the semantics.

Allow the user to configure needed_{head,tail}room for both netkit
devices. The idea is similar to 163e529200af ("veth: implement
ndo_set_rx_headroom") with the difference that the two parameters
can be specified upon device creation. By default the current behavior
stays as is which is needed_{head,tail}room is 0.
In case of Cilium, for example, the netkit devices are not enslaved
into a bridge or openvswitch device (rather, BPF-based redirection
is used out of tcx), and as such these parameters are not propagated
into the Pod's netns via peer device.
Given Cilium can run in vxlan/geneve tunneling mode (needed_headroom)
and/or be used in combination with WireGuard (needed_{head,tail}room),
allow the Cilium CNI plugin to specify these two upon netkit device
creation.

run-on-arch-action is simply a wrapper around docker. There is no
value in using it in libbpf, as it is not complicated to run
non-native arch docker images directly on github-hosted runners.
Docker relies on qemu-user-static installed on the system to emulate
different architectures.
Recently there were various reports about multi-arch docker builds
failing with seemingly random issues, and it appears to boil down to
qemu [1]. I stumbled on this problem while updating s390x runners [2]
for BPF CI, and setting up more recent version of qemu helped.
This change addresses recent build failures on s390x and ppc64le.

Some versions of kernel were stripping out '.llvm.<hash>' suffix from
kerne symbols (produced by Clang LTO compilation) from function names
reported in available_filter_functions, while kallsyms reported full
original name. This confuses libbpf's multi-kprobe logic of finding all
matching kernel functions for specified user glob pattern by joining
available_filter_functions and kallsyms contents, because joining by
full symbol name won't work for symbols containing '.llvm.<hash>' suffix.
This was eventually fixed by [0] in the kernel, but we'd like to not
regress multi-kprobe experience and add a work around for this bug on
libbpf side, stripping kallsym's name if it matches user pattern and
contains '.llvm.' suffix.

When redirecting the split BTF to the vmlinux base BTF, we need to mark
the distilled base struct/union members of split BTF structs/unions in
id_map with BTF_IS_EMBEDDED. This indicates that these types must match
both name and size later. Therefore, we need to traverse the entire
split BTF, which involves traversing type IDs from nr_dist_base_types to
nr_types. However, the current implementation uses an incorrect
traversal end type ID, so let's correct it.

Jordan reported an issue in Meta production environment where func
try_to_wake_up() is renamed to try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() by clang
compiler at lto mode. The original 'kprobe/try_to_wake_up' does not
work any more since try_to_wake_up() does not match the actual func
name in /proc/kallsyms.
There are a couple of ways to resolve this issue. For example, in
attach_kprobe(), we could do lookup in /proc/kallsyms so try_to_wake_up()
can be replaced by try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). Or we can force users
to use bpf_program__attach_kprobe() where they need to lookup
/proc/kallsyms to find out try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). But these two
approaches requires extra work by either libbpf or user.
Luckily, suggested by Andrii, multi kprobe already supports wildcard ('*')
for symbol matching. In the above example, 'try_to_wake_up*' can match
to try_to_wake_up() or try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() and this allows
bpf prog works for different kernels as some kernels may have
try_to_wake_up() and some others may have try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>().
The original intention is to kprobe try_to_wake_up() only, so an optional
field unique_match is added to struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts. If the
field is set to true, the number of matched functions must be one.
Otherwise, the attachment will fail. In the above case, multi kprobe
with 'try_to_wake_up*' and unique_match preserves user functionality.

If libbpf runs on on a kernel between these two commits (eg. on an
improperly backported system), it'll trigger this warning.
To avoid this warning (and also be more secure), explicitly set
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL. But since libbpf can be run on potentially very old

The fd_array attribute of the BPF_PROG_LOAD syscall may contain a set
of file descriptors: maps or btfs. This field was introduced as a
sparse array. Introduce a new attribute, fd_array_cnt, which, if
present, indicates that the fd_array is a continuous array of the
corresponding length.
If fd_array_cnt is non-zero, then every map in the fd_array will be
bound to the program, as if it was used by the program. This
functionality is similar to the BPF_PROG_BIND_MAP syscall, but such
maps can be used by the verifier during the program load.

The new_fd and add_fd functions correspond to the original new and
add_file functions, but accept an FD instead of a file name. This
gives API consumers the option of using anonymous files/memfds to
avoid writing ELFs to disk.
This new API will be useful for performing linking as part of
bpftrace's JIT compilation.
The add_buf function is a convenience wrapper that does the work of
creating a memfd for the caller.

Libelf functions do not set errno on failure. Instead, it relies on its
internal _elf_errno value, that can be retrieved via elf_errno (or the
corresponding message via elf_errmsg()). From "man libelf":
If a libelf function encounters an error it will set an internal
error code that can be retrieved with elf_errno. Each thread
maintains its own separate error code. The meaning of each error
code can be determined with elf_errmsg, which returns a string
describing the error.
As a consequence, libbpf should not return -errno when a function from
libelf fails, because an empty value will not be interpreted as an error
and won't prevent the program to stop. This is visible in
bpf_linker__add_file(), for example, where we call a succession of
functions that rely on libelf:
err = err ?: linker_load_obj_file(linker, filename, opts, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_sec_data(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_elf_syms(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_elf_relos(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_btf(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_btf_ext(linker, &obj);
If the object file that we try to process is not, in fact, a correct
object file, linker_load_obj_file() may fail with errno not being set,
and return 0. In this case we attempt to run linker_append_elf_sysms()
and may segfault.
This can happen (and was discovered) with bpftool:
$ bpftool gen object output.o sample_ret0.bpf.c
libbpf: failed to get ELF header for sample_ret0.bpf.c: invalid `Elf' handle
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) bpftool gen object output.o sample_ret0.bpf.c
Fix the issue by returning a non-null error code (-EINVAL) when libelf
functions fail.

When running `bpftool` on a kernel module installed in `/lib/modules...`,
this error is encountered if the user does not specify `--base-btf` to
point to a valid base BTF (e.g. usually in `/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux`).
However, looking at the debug output to determine the cause of the error
simply says `Invalid BTF string section`, which does not point to the
actual source of the error. This just improves that debug message to tell

USDT ELF note optionally can record an offset of .stapsdt.base, which is
used to make adjustments to USDT target attach address. Currently,
libbpf will do this address adjustment unconditionally if it finds
.stapsdt.base ELF section in target binary. But there is a corner case
where .stapsdt.base ELF section is present, but specific USDT note
doesn't reference it. In such case, libbpf will basically just add base
address and end up with absolutely incorrect USDT target address.
This adjustment has to be done only if both .stapsdt.sema section is
present and USDT note is recording a reference to it.

Hardware traces, such as instruction traces, can produce a vast amount of
trace data, so being able to reduce tracing to more specific circumstances
can be useful.
The ability to pause or resume tracing when another event happens, can do
that.
Add ability for an event to "pause" or "resume" AUX area tracing.
Add aux_pause bit to perf_event_attr to indicate that, if the event
happens, the associated AUX area tracing should be paused. Ditto
aux_resume. Do not allow aux_pause and aux_resume to be set together.
Add aux_start_paused bit to perf_event_attr to indicate to an AUX area
event that it should start in a "paused" state.
Add aux_paused to struct hw_perf_event for AUX area events to keep track of
the "paused" state. aux_paused is initialized to aux_start_paused.
Add PERF_EF_PAUSE and PERF_EF_RESUME modes for ->stop() and ->start()
callbacks. Call as needed, during __perf_event_output(). Add
aux_in_pause_resume to struct perf_buffer to prevent races with the NMI
handler. Pause/resume in NMI context will miss out if it coincides with
another pause/resume.
To use aux_pause or aux_resume, an event must be in a group with the AUX
area event as the group leader.
Example (requires Intel PT and tools patches also):
$ perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/aux-action=start-paused/k,syscalls:sys_enter_newuname/aux-action=resume/,syscalls:sys_exit_newuname/aux-action=pause/ uname
