Introduce 4 new netlink-based XDP APIs for attaching, detaching, and
querying XDP programs:
- bpf_xdp_attach;
- bpf_xdp_detach;
- bpf_xdp_query;
- bpf_xdp_query_id.
These APIs replace bpf_set_link_xdp_fd, bpf_set_link_xdp_fd_opts,
bpf_get_link_xdp_id, and bpf_get_link_xdp_info APIs ([0]). The latter
don't follow a consistent naming pattern and some of them use
non-extensible approaches (e.g., struct xdp_link_info which can't be
modified without breaking libbpf ABI).
The approach I took with these low-level XDP APIs is similar to what we
did with low-level TC APIs. There is a nice duality of bpf_tc_attach vs
bpf_xdp_attach, and so on. I left bpf_xdp_attach() to support detaching
when -1 is specified for prog_fd for generality and convenience, but
bpf_xdp_detach() is preferred due to clearer naming and associated
semantics. Both bpf_xdp_attach() and bpf_xdp_detach() accept the same
opts struct allowing to specify expected old_prog_fd.
While doing the refactoring, I noticed that old APIs require users to
specify opts with old_fd == -1 to declare "don't care about already
attached XDP prog fd" condition. Otherwise, FD 0 is assumed, which is
essentially never an intended behavior. So I made this behavior
consistent with other kernel and libbpf APIs, in which zero FD means "no
FD". This seems to be more in line with the latest thinking in BPF land
and should cause less user confusion, hopefully.
For querying, I left two APIs, both more generic bpf_xdp_query()
allowing to query multiple IDs and attach mode, but also
a specialization of it, bpf_xdp_query_id(), which returns only requested
prog_id. Uses of prog_id returning bpf_get_link_xdp_id() were so
prevalent across selftests and samples, that it seemed a very common use
case and using bpf_xdp_query() for doing it felt very cumbersome with
a highly branches if/else chain based on flags and attach mode.
Old APIs are scheduled for deprecation in libbpf 0.8 release.

Enact deprecation of legacy BPF map definition in SEC("maps") ([0]). For
the definitions themselves introduce LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS flag
for libbpf strict mode. If it is set, error out on any struct
bpf_map_def-based map definition. If not set, libbpf will print out
a warning for each legacy BPF map to raise awareness that it goes away.
For any use of BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR() macro providing a legacy way to
associate BTF key/value type information with legacy BPF map definition,
warn through libbpf's pr_warn() error message (but don't fail BPF object
open).
BPF-side struct bpf_map_def is marked as deprecated. User-space struct
bpf_map_def has to be used internally in libbpf, so it is left
untouched. It should be enough for bpf_map__def() to be marked
deprecated to raise awareness that it goes away.
bpftool is an interesting case that utilizes libbpf to open BPF ELF
object to generate skeleton. As such, even though bpftool itself uses
full on strict libbpf mode (LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL), it has to relax it a bit
for BPF map definition handling to minimize unnecessary disruptions. So
opt-out of LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS for bpftool. User's code that
will later use generated skeleton will make its own decision whether to
enforce LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS or not.
There are few tests in selftests/bpf that are consciously using legacy
BPF map definitions to test libbpf functionality. For those, temporary
opt out of LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS mode for the duration of those
tests.

Create three extensible alternatives to inconsistently named
feature-probing APIs:
- libbpf_probe_bpf_prog_type() instead of bpf_probe_prog_type();
- libbpf_probe_bpf_map_type() instead of bpf_probe_map_type();
- libbpf_probe_bpf_helper() instead of bpf_probe_helper().
Set up return values such that libbpf can report errors (e.g., if some
combination of input arguments isn't possible to validate, etc), in
addition to whether the feature is supported (return value 1) or not
supported (return value 0).
Also schedule deprecation of those three APIs. Also schedule deprecation
of bpf_probe_large_insn_limit().
Also fix all the existing detection logic for various program and map
types that never worked:
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_LIRC_MODE2;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS;
- BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS;
- BPF_MAP_TYPE_BLOOM_FILTER.
Above prog/map types needed special setups and detection logic to work.
Subsequent patch adds selftests that will make sure that all the
detection logic keeps working for all current and future program and map
types, avoiding otherwise inevitable bit rot.

The need to increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to do anything useful with BPF is
one of the first extremely frustrating gotchas that all new BPF users go
through and in some cases have to learn it a very hard way.
Luckily, starting with upstream Linux kernel version 5.11, BPF subsystem
dropped the dependency on memlock and uses memcg-based memory accounting
instead. Unfortunately, detecting memcg-based BPF memory accounting is
far from trivial (as can be evidenced by this patch), so in practice
most BPF applications still do unconditional RLIMIT_MEMLOCK increase.
As we move towards libbpf 1.0, it would be good to allow users to forget
about RLIMIT_MEMLOCK vs memcg and let libbpf do the sensible adjustment
automatically. This patch paves the way forward in this matter. Libbpf
will do feature detection of memcg-based accounting, and if detected,
will do nothing. But if the kernel is too old, just like BCC, libbpf
will automatically increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK on behalf of user
application ([0]).
As this is technically a breaking change, during the transition period
applications have to opt into libbpf 1.0 mode by setting
LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bit when calling
libbpf_set_strict_mode().
Libbpf allows to control the exact amount of set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit
with libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() API. Passing 0 will make libbpf do
nothing with RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() has to be
called before the first bpf_prog_load(), bpf_btf_load(), or
bpf_object__load() call, otherwise it has no effect and will return
-EBUSY.

strncpy() has a notoriously error-prone semantics which makes GCC
complain about it a lot (and quite often completely completely falsely
at that). Instead of pleasing GCC all the time (-Wno-stringop-truncation
is unfortunately only supported by GCC, so it's a bit too messy to just
enable it in Makefile), add libbpf-internal libbpf_strlcpy() helper
which follows what FreeBSD's strlcpy() does and what most people would
expect from strncpy(): copies up to N-1 first bytes from source string
into destination string and ensures zero-termination afterwards.
Replace all the relevant uses of strncpy/strncat/memcpy in libbpf with
libbpf_strlcpy().

During linking, type IDs in the resulting linked BPF object file can
change, and so ldimm64 instructions corresponding to
BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_TARGET and BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL CO-RE relos can get
their imm value out of sync with actual CO-RE relocation information
that's updated by BPF linker properly during linking process.
We could teach BPF linker to adjust such instructions, but it feels
a bit too much for linker to re-implement good chunk of
bpf_core_patch_insns logic just for this. This is a redundant safety
check for TYPE_ID relocations, as the real validation is in matching
CO-RE specs, so if that works fine, it's very unlikely that there is
something wrong with the instruction itself.
So, instead, teach libbpf (and kernel) to ignore insn->imm for
BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_TARGET and BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL relos.

Allow users to provide their own custom log_buf, log_size, and log_level
at bpf_object level through bpf_object_open_opts. This log_buf will be
used during BTF loading. Subsequent patch will use same log_buf during
BPF program loading, unless overriden at per-bpf_program level.
When such custom log_buf is provided, libbpf won't be attempting
retrying loading of BTF to try to provide its own log buffer to capture
kernel's error log output. User is responsible to provide big enough
buffer, otherwise they run a risk of getting -ENOSPC error from the
bpf() syscall.

Add libbpf-internal btf_load_into_kernel() that allows to pass
preallocated log_buf and custom log_level to be passed into kernel
during BPF_BTF_LOAD call. When custom log_buf is provided,
btf_load_into_kernel() won't attempt an retry with automatically
allocated internal temporary buffer to capture BTF validation log.
It's important to note the relation between log_buf and log_level, which
slightly deviates from stricter kernel logic. From kernel's POV, if
log_buf is specified, log_level has to be > 0, and vice versa. While
kernel has good reasons to request such "sanity, this, in practice, is
a bit unconvenient and restrictive for libbpf's high-level bpf_object APIs.
So libbpf will allow to set non-NULL log_buf and log_level == 0. This is
fine and means to attempt to load BTF without logging requested, but if
it failes, retry the load with custom log_buf and log_level 1. Similar
logic will be implemented for program loading. In practice this means
that users can provide custom log buffer just in case error happens, but
not really request slower verbose logging all the time. This is also
consistent with libbpf behavior when custom log_buf is not set: libbpf
first tries to load everything with log_level=0, and only if error
happens allocates internal log buffer and retries with log_level=1.
Also, while at it, make BTF validation log more obvious and follow the log
pattern libbpf is using for dumping BPF verifier log during
BPF_PROG_LOAD. BTF loading resulting in an error will look like this:
libbpf: BTF loading error: -22
libbpf: -- BEGIN BTF LOAD LOG ---
magic: 0xeb9f
version: 1
flags: 0x0
hdr_len: 24
type_off: 0

btf_total_size: 1753

It also removes log buffer auto-allocation logic from low-level API

- if log_level is 0 and non-NULL log_buf is provided by a user, attempt
load operation initially with no log_buf and log_level set;
- if successful, we are done, return new FD;
- on error, retry the load operation with log_level bumped to 1 and

Of course, user can still specify log_level > 0 from the very beginning

Load global data maps lazily, if kernel is too old to support global
data. Make sure that programs are still correct by detecting if any of
the to-be-loaded programs have relocation against any of such maps.
This allows to solve the issue ([0]) with bpf_printk() and Clang
generating unnecessary and unreferenced .rodata.strX.Y sections, but it
also goes further along the CO-RE lines, allowing to have a BPF object
in which some code can work on very old kernels and relies only on BPF
maps explicitly, while other BPF programs might enjoy global variable
support. If such programs are correctly set to not load at runtime on
old kernels, bpf_object will load and function correctly now.

According to [0], compilers sometimes might produce duplicate DWARF
definitions for exactly the same struct/union within the same
compilation unit (CU). We've had similar issues with identical arrays
and handled them with a similar workaround in 6b6e6b1d09aa ("libbpf:
Accomodate DWARF/compiler bug with duplicated identical arrays"). Do the
same for struct/union by ensuring that two structs/unions are exactly
the same, down to the integer values of field referenced type IDs.
Solving this more generically (allowing referenced types to be
equivalent, but using different type IDs, all within a single CU)
requires a huge complexity increase to handle many-to-many mappings
between canonidal and candidate type graphs. Before we invest in that,
let's see if this approach handles all the instances of this issue in
practice. Thankfully it's pretty rare, it seems.

Libbpf provided LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION and LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION macros to
check libbpf version at compilation time. This doesn't cover all the
needs, though, because version of libbpf that application is compiled
against doesn't necessarily match the version of libbpf at runtime,
especially if libbpf is used as a shared library.
Add libbpf_major_version() and libbpf_minor_version() returning major
and minor versions, respectively, as integers. Also add a convenience
libbpf_version_string() for various tooling using libbpf to print out
libbpf version in a human-readable form. Currently it will return
"v0.6", but in the future it can contains some extra information, so the
format itself is not part of a stable API and shouldn't be relied upon.

perf_buffer_raw_opts are kept as well, but they are restructured such

perf_buffer_raw_opts we keep few fields intact, so we have to also
preserve the memory location of them both when used as OPTS and for

Change btf_dump__new() and corresponding struct btf_dump_ops structure
to be extensible by using OPTS "framework" ([0]). Given we don't change
the names, we use a similar approach as with bpf_prog_load(), but this
time we ended up with two APIs with the same name and same number of
arguments, so overloading based on number of arguments with
___libbpf_override() doesn't work.
Instead, use "overloading" based on types. In this particular case,
print callback has to be specified, so we detect which argument is
a callback. If it's 4th (last) argument, old implementation of API is
used by user code. If not, it must be 2nd, and thus new implementation
is selected. The rest is handled by the same symbol versioning approach.
btf_ext argument is dropped as it was never used and isn't necessary
either. If in the future we'll need btf_ext, that will be added into
OPTS-based struct btf_dump_opts.
struct btf_dump_opts is reused for both old API and new APIs. ctx field
is marked deprecated in v0.7+ and it's put at the same memory location
as OPTS's sz field. Any user of new-style btf_dump__new() will have to
set sz field and doesn't/shouldn't use ctx, as ctx is now passed along
the callback as mandatory input argument, following the other APIs in
libbpf that accept callbacks consistently.
Again, this is quite ugly in implementation, but is done in the name of
backwards compatibility and uniform and extensible future APIs (at the
same time, sigh). And it will be gone in libbpf 1.0.

btf__dedup() and struct btf_dedup_opts were added before we figured out
OPTS mechanism. As such, btf_dedup_opts is non-extensible without
breaking an ABI and potentially crashing user application.
Unfortunately, btf__dedup() and btf_dedup_opts are short and succinct
names that would be great to preserve and use going forward. So we use
___libbpf_override() macro approach, used previously for bpf_prog_load()
API, to define a new btf__dedup() variant that accepts only struct btf *
and struct btf_dedup_opts * arguments, and rename the old btf__dedup()
implementation into btf__dedup_deprecated(). This keeps both source and
binary compatibility with old and new applications.
The biggest problem was struct btf_dedup_opts, which wasn't OPTS-based,
and as such doesn't have `size_t sz;` as a first field. But btf__dedup()
is a pretty rarely used API and I believe that the only currently known
users (besides selftests) are libbpf's own bpf_linker and pahole.
Neither use case actually uses options and just passes NULL. So instead
of doing extra hacks, just rewrite struct btf_dedup_opts into OPTS-based
one, move btf_ext argument into those opts (only bpf_linker needs to
dedup btf_ext, so it's not a typical thing to specify), and drop never
used `dont_resolve_fwds` option (it was never used anywhere, AFAIK, it
makes BTF dedup much less useful and efficient).
Just in case, for old implementation, btf__dedup_deprecated(), detect
non-NULL options and error out with helpful message, to help users
migrate, if there are any user playing with btf__dedup().
The last remaining piece is dedup_table_size, which is another
anachronism from very early days of BTF dedup. Since then it has been
reduced to the only valid value, 1, to request forced hash collisions.
This is only used during testing. So instead introduce a bool flag to
force collisions explicitly.
This patch also adapts selftests to new btf__dedup() and btf_dedup_opts
use to avoid selftests breakage.

Add a new unified OPTS-based low-level API for program loading,
bpf_prog_load() ([0]). bpf_prog_load() accepts few "mandatory"
parameters as input arguments (program type, name, license,
instructions) and all the other optional (as in not required to specify
for all types of BPF programs) fields into struct bpf_prog_load_opts.
This makes all the other non-extensible APIs variant for BPF_PROG_LOAD
obsolete and they are slated for deprecation in libbpf v0.7:
- bpf_load_program();
- bpf_load_program_xattr();
- bpf_verify_program().
Implementation-wise, internal helper libbpf__bpf_prog_load is refactored
to become a public bpf_prog_load() API. struct bpf_prog_load_params used
internally is replaced by public struct bpf_prog_load_opts.
Unfortunately, while conceptually all this is pretty straightforward,
the biggest complication comes from the already existing bpf_prog_load()
*high-level* API, which has nothing to do with BPF_PROG_LOAD command.
We try really hard to have a new API named bpf_prog_load(), though,
because it maps naturally to BPF_PROG_LOAD command.
For that, we rename old bpf_prog_load() into bpf_prog_load_deprecated()
and mark it as COMPAT_VERSION() for shared library users compiled
against old version of libbpf. Statically linked users and shared lib
users compiled against new version of libbpf headers will get "rerouted"
to bpf_prog_deprecated() through a macro helper that decides whether to
use new or old bpf_prog_load() based on number of input arguments (see
___libbpf_overload in libbpf_common.h).
To test that existing
bpf_prog_load()-using code compiles and works as expected, I've compiled
and ran selftests as is. I had to remove (locally) selftest/bpf/Makefile
-Dbpf_prog_load=bpf_prog_test_load hack because it was conflicting with
the macro-based overload approach. I don't expect anyone else to do
something like this in practice, though. This is testing-specific way to
replace bpf_prog_load() calls with special testing variant of it, which
adds extra prog_flags value. After testing I kept this selftests hack,
but ensured that we use a new bpf_prog_load_deprecated name for this.
This patch also marks bpf_prog_load() and bpf_prog_load_xattr() as deprecated.
bpf_object interface has to be used for working with struct bpf_program.
Libbpf doesn't support loading just a bpf_program.
The silver lining is that when we get to libbpf 1.0 all these
complication will be gone and we'll have one clean bpf_prog_load()
low-level API with no backwards compatibility hackery surrounding it.

The name of the API doesn't convey clearly that this size is in number
of bytes (there needed to be a separate comment to make this clear in

exactly the best fit, because BPF programs always consist of 8-byte

Schedule deprecation of a set of APIs that are related to multi-instance
bpf_programs:
- bpf_program__set_prep() ([0]);
- bpf_program__{set,unset}_instance() ([1]);
- bpf_program__nth_fd().
These APIs are obscure, very niche, and don't seem to be used much in
practice. bpf_program__set_prep() is pretty useless for anything but the
simplest BPF programs, as it doesn't allow to adjust BPF program load
attributes, among other things. In short, it already bitrotted and will
bitrot some more if not removed.
With bpf_program__insns() API, which gives access to post-processed BPF
program instructions of any given entry-point BPF program, it's now
possible to do whatever necessary adjustments were possible with
set_prep() API before, but also more. Given any such use case is
automatically an advanced use case, requiring users to stick to
low-level bpf_prog_load() APIs and managing their own prog FDs is
reasonable.

Add APIs providing read-only access to bpf_program BPF instructions ([0]).
This is useful for diagnostics purposes, but it also allows a cleaner
support for cloning BPF programs after libbpf did all the FD resolution
and CO-RE relocations, subprog instructions appending, etc. Currently,
cloning BPF program is possible only through hijacking a half-broken
bpf_program__set_prep() API, which doesn't really work well for anything
but most primitive programs. For instance, set_prep() API doesn't allow
adjusting BPF program load parameters which are necessary for loading
fentry/fexit BPF programs (the case where BPF program cloning is
a necessity if doing some sort of mass-attachment functionality).
Given bpf_program__set_prep() API is set to be deprecated, having
a cleaner alternative is a must. libbpf internally already keeps track
of linear array of struct bpf_insn, so it's not hard to expose it. The
only gotcha is that libbpf previously freed instructions array during
bpf_object load time, which would make this API much less useful overall,
because in between bpf_object__open() and bpf_object__load() a lot of
changes to instructions are done by libbpf.
So this patch makes libbpf hold onto prog->insns array even after BPF
program loading. I think this is a small price for added functionality
and improved introspection of BPF program code.
See retsnoop PR ([1]) for how it can be used in practice and code
savings compared to relying on bpf_program__set_prep().

Map name that's assigned to internal maps (.rodata, .data, .bss, etc)
consist of a small prefix of bpf_object's name and ELF section name as
a suffix. This makes it hard for users to "guess" the name to use for
looking up by name with bpf_object__find_map_by_name() API.
One proposal was to drop object name prefix from the map name and just
use ".rodata", ".data", etc, names. One downside called out was that
when multiple BPF applications are active on the host, it will be hard
to distinguish between multiple instances of .rodata and know which BPF
object (app) they belong to. Having few first characters, while quite
limiting, still can give a bit of a clue, in general.
Note, though, that btf_value_type_id for such global data maps (ARRAY)
points to DATASEC type, which encodes full ELF name, so tools like
bpftool can take advantage of this fact to "recover" full original name
of the map. This is also the reason why for custom .data.* and .rodata.*
maps libbpf uses only their ELF names and doesn't prepend object name at
all.
Another downside of such approach is that it is not backwards compatible
and, among direct use of bpf_object__find_map_by_name() API, will break
any BPF skeleton generated using bpftool that was compiled with older
libbpf version.
Instead of causing all this pain, libbpf will still generate map name
using a combination of object name and ELF section name, but it will
allow looking such maps up by their natural names, which correspond to
their respective ELF section names. This means non-truncated ELF section
names longer than 15 characters are going to be expected and supported.
With such set up, we get the best of both worlds: leave small bits of
a clue about BPF application that instantiated such maps, as well as
making it easy for user apps to lookup such maps at runtime. In this
sense it closes corresponding libbpf 1.0 issue ([0]).
BPF skeletons will continue using full names for lookups.

Remove internal libbpf assumption that there can be only one .rodata,
.data, and .bss map per BPF object. To achieve that, extend and
generalize the scheme that was used for keeping track of relocation ELF
sections. Now each ELF section has a temporary extra index that keeps
track of logical type of ELF section (relocations, data, read-only data,
BSS). Switch relocation to this scheme, as well as .rodata/.data/.bss
handling.
We don't yet allow multiple .rodata, .data, and .bss sections, but no
libbpf internal code makes an assumption that there can be only one of
each and thus they can be explicitly referenced by a single index. Next

Minimize the usage of class-agnostic gelf_xxx() APIs from libelf. These
APIs require copying ELF data structures into local GElf_xxx structs and
have a more cumbersome API. BPF ELF file is defined to be always 64-bit
ELF object, even when intended to be run on 32-bit host architectures,
so there is no need to do class-agnostic conversions everywhere. BPF
static linker implementation within libbpf has been using Elf64-specific
types since initial implementation.
Add two simple helpers, elf_sym_by_idx() and elf_rel_by_idx(), for more
succinct direct access to ELF symbol and relocation records within ELF
data itself and switch all the GElf_xxx usage into Elf64_xxx
equivalents. The only remaining place within libbpf.c that's still using
gelf API is gelf_getclass(), as there doesn't seem to be a direct way to

There isn't a good use case where anyone but libbpf itself needs to call

duration of opening phase only. But the only BTF that needs bpf_object's
ELF is that bpf_object's BTF itself, which libbpf fixes up automatically
during bpf_object__open() operation anyways. There is no need for any
additional fix up and no reasonable scenario where it's useful and
appropriate.
Thus, btf__finalize_data() is just an API atavism and is better removed.
So this patch marks it as deprecated immediately (v0.6+) and moves the
code from btf.c into libbpf.c where it's used in the context of
bpf_object opening phase. Such code co-location allows to make code
structure more straightforward and remove bpf_object__section_size() and
bpf_object__variable_offset() internal helpers from libbpf_internal.h,
making them static. Their naming is also adjusted to not create
a wrong illusion that they are some sort of method of bpf_object. They
are internal helpers and are called appropriately.
This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

Add a bulk copying api, btf__add_btf(), that speeds up and simplifies
appending entire contents of one BTF object to another one, taking care
of copying BTF type data, adjusting resulting BTF type IDs according to
their new locations in the destination BTF object, as well as copying
and deduplicating all the referenced strings and updating all the string
offsets in new BTF types as appropriate.
This API is intended to be used from tools that are generating and
otherwise manipulating BTFs generically, such as pahole. In pahole's
case, this API is useful for speeding up parallelized BTF encoding, as
it allows pahole to offload all the intricacies of BTF type copying to
libbpf and handle the parallelization aspects of the process.
