Ihor Solodrai 30e2cb8936 ci: add script to run libbpf sync non-interactively
Run sync-kernel.sh with stdin from /dev/null, so that any prompt asking
for human input fails the sync.

The exit code of sync-kernel.sh isn't reliable (e.g., it exits with 0
when interrupted), so tell from its output whether the sync went
through or there was nothing to sync.

On success, leave a bundle with the sync branch, patches and a pull
request description with the sync log in the output directory.

Ihor Solodrai 76ce128401 ci: add script to fetch kernel trees for libbpf sync
Set up a Linux repo the way sync-kernel.sh expects it: HEAD at
bpf-next's master and a bpf-master branch at bpf's master.

Fetch full history of both trees from the kernel-patches/bpf mirror on
GitHub, which is more reliable than git.kernel.org. The mirror may lag
behind, so don't require its branches to match git.kernel.org exactly,
only check that they're in the history of the master branches there.

Ihor Solodrai fbcd832e27 sync: sort .mailmap independently of the locale
mailmap-update.sh sorts .mailmap with the caller's locale collation, so
the order of its entries depends on who runs the sync: e.g., with
en_US.UTF-8 vs C.UTF-8 (the default on GitHub runners). Syncs done in
different environments would keep reordering the file.

Always sort with LC_ALL=C.

Ihor Solodrai e572e1cd08 sync: avoid brace expansion in the tree filter
git filter-branch evaluates the tree filter with /bin/sh. Where that's
dash (Debian, Ubuntu), the brace expression in the git rm command is
not expanded, so src/{Makefile,Build,test_libbpf.c,.gitignore} are
never removed. The sync then fails comparing Linux and GitHub file
lists, and synced patches could touch GitHub's own src/Makefile.

List the files explicitly.

Ihor Solodrai c097d75476 libbpf: Render decl_tags in btf_dump
BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG is an attribute on a declaration: with kind_flag=0
the tag name is the argument of a btf_decl_tag(), and with kind_flag=1
it encodes a complete __attribute__.

When doing btf_dump, render both forms at every declaration btf_dump
emits - a record, a record member and a typedef:

	struct foo { ... } __attribute__((bar));
	struct foo { int a __attribute__((bar)); };
	typedef struct { ... } __attribute__((bar)) foo_t;

A decl tag is a standalone type pointing at its target. Build an
index of decl tags in btf_dump_resize(). Keep it as a flat array
sorted by (target ID, tag ID). This allows for a stable emission order
in btf_dump_emit_decl_tags().

btf_dump_emit_decl_tags() binary searches for where the target's
entries would begin and walks tags while the target matches. A record
shares its target with its members, so the component_idx is matched
there.

A record attribute goes after the closing brace, where
__attribute__((packed)) already goes. A member attribute goes after
the bit-field width: clang rejects one between the declarator and the
':'. A typedef takes it after the declarator, so a typedef of an
anonymous record can carry two groups at once, one binding to the
record and one to the typedef.

This closes a generic gap in btf_dump, which silently dropped every
decl tag it was given.

Ihor Solodrai 04312c5dfc libbpf: Walk types in btf_dump_resize(), not in mark_referenced()
btf_dump_mark_referenced() both walks every type added since the last
resize and decides what each one references. Move the walk out to
btf_dump_resize() and hand the function one type at a time, so a second
per-type job can share the same pass instead of adding another one.

No functional change.

Ihor Solodrai 16bcff7098 libbpf: Export btf__find_by_name_kind_own()
btf__find_by_name_kind() searches the base BTF before the split BTF,
so in case of a name collision between base and split it always
returns a base type. Tools that process split BTF may need to restrict
a lookup to the split's own types.

The internal helper btf__find_by_name_kind_own() already does exactly
that. Make it a public API.

Ihor Solodrai cc7760ce9a libbpf: Remove extern declaration of bpf_stream_vprintk()
An issue was reported that building BPF program which includes both
vmlinux.h and bpf_helpers.h from libbpf fails due to conflicting
declarations of bpf_stream_vprintk().

Remove the extern declaration from bpf_helpers.h to address this.

In order to use bpf_stream_printk() macro, BPF programs are expected
to either include vmlinux.h of the kernel they are targeting, or add
their own extern declaration.

Ihor Solodrai 6b9b5e34b1 ci: remove LATEST kernel handling from vmtest
The libbpf CI always builds the kernel from source at CHECKPOINT-COMMIT;
there is no prebuilt-kernel matrix entry. Remove the `kernel` input and
the conditional build-vs-download logic, simplifying the workflow.

The run-vmtest action defaults KERNEL to "LATEST" internally when the
env var is unset, so DENYLIST-LATEST is still picked up. The vmlinuz
path is auto-discovered via `make -s image_name` when not passed.

Ihor Solodrai d4a841a32b ci: remove dependency on run-on-arch-action
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.
