Starting from 105ff5339f49 ("mm/memfd: add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and
MFD_EXEC") and until 1717449b4417 ("memfd: drop warning for missing
exec-related flags"), the kernel would print a warning if neither
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL nor MFD_EXEC is set in memfd_create().
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
kernels, leave a fallback for kernels without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL support.

=== Motivation ===
Similar to reading from CO-RE bitfields, we need a CO-RE aware bitfield
writing wrapper to make the verifier happy.
Two alternatives to this approach are:
1. Use the upcoming `preserve_static_offset` [0] attribute to disable
CO-RE on specific structs.
2. Use broader byte-sized writes to write to bitfields.
(1) is a bit hard to use. It requires specific and not-very-obvious
annotations to bpftool generated vmlinux.h. It's also not generally
available in released LLVM versions yet.
(2) makes the code quite hard to read and write. And especially if
BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD() is already being used, it makes more sense to
to have an inverse helper for writing.
=== Implementation details ===
Since the logic is a bit non-obvious, I thought it would be helpful
to explain exactly what's going on.
To start, it helps by explaining what LSHIFT_U64 (lshift) and RSHIFT_U64
(rshift) is designed to mean. Consider the core of the
BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD() algorithm:
val <<= __CORE_RELO(s, field, LSHIFT_U64);
val = val >> __CORE_RELO(s, field, RSHIFT_U64);
Basically what happens is we lshift to clear the non-relevant (blank)
higher order bits. Then we rshift to bring the relevant bits (bitfield)
down to LSB position (while also clearing blank lower order bits). To
illustrate:
Start: ........XXX......
Lshift: XXX......00000000
Rshift: 00000000000000XXX
where `.` means blank bit, `0` means 0 bit, and `X` means bitfield bit.
After the two operations, the bitfield is ready to be interpreted as a
regular integer.
Next, we want to build an alternative (but more helpful) mental model
on lshift and rshift. That is, to consider:
* rshift as the total number of blank bits in the u64
* lshift as number of blank bits left of the bitfield in the u64
Take a moment to consider why that is true by consulting the above
diagram.
With this insight, we can now define the following relationship:
bitfield
_
| |
0.....00XXX0...00
| | | |
|______| | |
lshift | |
|____|
(rshift - lshift)
That is, we know the number of higher order blank bits is just lshift.
And the number of lower order blank bits is (rshift - lshift).
Finally, we can examine the core of the write side algorithm:
mask = (~0ULL << rshift) >> lshift; // 1
val = (val & ~mask) | ((nval << rpad) & mask); // 2
1. Compute a mask where the set bits are the bitfield bits. The first
left shift zeros out exactly the number of blank bits, leaving a
bitfield sized set of 1s. The subsequent right shift inserts the
correct amount of higher order blank bits.
2. On the left of the `|`, mask out the bitfield bits. This creates
0s where the new bitfield bits will go. On the right of the `|`,
bring nval into the correct bit position and mask out any bits
that fall outside of the bitfield. Finally, by bor'ing the two
halves, we get the final set of bits to write back.

For bpf_object__pin_programs() there is bpf_object__unpin_programs().
Likewise bpf_object__unpin_maps() for bpf_object__pin_maps().
But no bpf_object__unpin() for bpf_object__pin(). Adding the former adds
symmetry to the API.
It's also convenient for cleanup in application code. It's an API I
would've used if it was available for a repro I was writing earlier.

This commit adds support for enabling IP defrag using pre-existing
netfilter defrag support. Basically all the flag does is bump a refcnt
while the link the active. Checks are also added to ensure the prog
requesting defrag support is run _after_ netfilter defrag hooks.
We also take care to avoid any issues w.r.t. module unloading -- while
defrag is active on a link, the module is prevented from unloading.

The motivation behind this helper is to access userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler.
uprobe's ctx is the userspace pt_regs. kprobe's ctx is the kernelspace
pt_regs. bpf_task_pt_regs() allows accessing userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler. The final case (kernelspace pt_regs in uprobe) is
pretty rare (usermode helper) so I think that can be solved later if
necessary.
More concretely, this helper is useful in doing BPF-based DWARF stack
unwinding. Currently the kernel can only do framepointer based stack
unwinds for userspace code. This is because the DWARF state machines are
too fragile to be computed in kernelspace [0]. The idea behind
DWARF-based stack unwinds w/ BPF is to copy a chunk of the userspace
stack (while in prog context) and send it up to userspace for unwinding
(probably with libunwind) [1]. This would effectively enable profiling
applications with -fomit-frame-pointer using kprobes and uprobes.

Before this patch, btf_new() was liable to close an arbitrary FD 0 if
BTF parsing failed. This was because:
* btf->fd was initialized to 0 through the calloc()
* btf__free() (in the `done` label) closed any FDs >= 0
* btf->fd is left at 0 if parsing fails
This issue was discovered on a system using libbpf v0.3 (without
BTF_KIND_FLOAT support) but with a kernel that had BTF_KIND_FLOAT types
in BTF. Thus, parsing fails.
While this patch technically doesn't fix any issues b/c upstream libbpf
has BTF_KIND_FLOAT support, it'll help prevent issues in the future if
more BTF types are added. It also allow the fix to be backported to
older libbpf's.
