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.

Update "sk_lookup/" definition to be a stand-alone type specifier,
with backwards-compatible prefix match logic in non-libbpf-1.0 mode.
Currently in selftests all the "sk_lookup/<whatever>" uses just use
<whatever> for duplicated unique name encoding, which is redundant as
BPF program's name (C function name) uniquely and descriptively
identifies the intended use for such BPF programs.
With libbpf's SEC_DEF("sk_lookup") definition updated, switch existing
sk_lookup programs to use "unqualified" SEC("sk_lookup") section names,
with no random text after it.

Implement strict ELF section name handling for BPF programs. It utilizes
`libbpf_set_strict_mode()` framework and adds new flag: LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME.
If this flag is set, libbpf will enforce exact section name matching for
a lot of program types that previously allowed just partial prefix
match. E.g., if previously SEC("xdp_whatever_i_want") was allowed, now
in strict mode only SEC("xdp") will be accepted, which makes SEC("")
definitions cleaner and more structured. SEC() now won't be used as yet
another way to uniquely encode BPF program identifier (for that
C function name is better and is guaranteed to be unique within
bpf_object). Now SEC() is strictly BPF program type and, depending on
program type, extra load/attach parameter specification.
Libbpf completely supports multiple BPF programs in the same ELF
section, so multiple BPF programs of the same type/specification easily
co-exist together within the same bpf_object scope.
Additionally, a new (for now internal) convention is introduced: section
name that can be a stand-alone exact BPF program type specificator, but
also could have extra parameters after '/' delimiter. An example of such
section is "struct_ops", which can be specified by itself, but also
allows to specify the intended operation to be attached to, e.g.,
"struct_ops/dctcp_init". Note, that "struct_ops_some_op" is not allowed.
Such section definition is specified as "struct_ops+".
This change is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0], [1]).

Refactor ELF section handler definitions table to use a set of flags and
unified SEC_DEF() macro. This allows for more succinct and table-like
set of definitions, and allows to more easily extend the logic without
adding more verbosity (this is utilized in later patches in the series).
This approach is also making libbpf-internal program pre-load callback
not rely on bpf_sec_def definition, which demonstrates that future
pluggable ELF section handlers will be able to achieve similar level of
integration without libbpf having to expose extra types and APIs.
For starters, update SEC_DEF() definitions and make them more succinct.

Move closer to not relying on bpf_sec_def internals that won't be part
of public API, when pluggable SEC() handlers will be allowed. Drop
pre-calculated prefix length, and in various helpers don't rely on this
prefix length availability. Also minimize reliance on knowing
bpf_sec_def's prefix for few places where section prefix shortcuts are
supported (e.g., tp vs tracepoint, raw_tp vs raw_tracepoint).
Given checking some string for having a given string-constant prefix is
such a common operation and so annoying to be done with pure C code, add
a small macro helper, str_has_pfx(), and reuse it throughout libbpf.c
where prefix comparison is performed. With __builtin_constant_p() it's
possible to have a convenient helper that checks some string for having
a given prefix, where prefix is either string literal (or compile-time
known string due to compiler optimization) or just a runtime string
pointer, which is quite convenient and saves a lot of typing and string
literal duplication.

Refactor internals of libbpf to allow adding custom SEC() handling logic
easily from outside of libbpf. To that effect, each SEC()-handling
registration sets mandatory program type/expected attach type for
a given prefix and can provide three callbacks called at different
points of BPF program lifetime:
- init callback for right after bpf_program is initialized and
prog_type/expected_attach_type is set. This happens during
bpf_object__open() step, close to the very end of constructing
bpf_object, so all the libbpf APIs for querying and updating
bpf_program properties should be available;
- pre-load callback is called right before BPF_PROG_LOAD command is
called in the kernel. This callbacks has ability to set both
bpf_program properties, as well as program load attributes, overriding
and augmenting the standard libbpf handling of them;
- optional auto-attach callback, which makes a given SEC() handler
support auto-attachment of a BPF program through bpf_program__attach()
API and/or BPF skeletons <skel>__attach() method.
Each callbacks gets a `long cookie` parameter passed in, which is
specified during SEC() handling. This can be used by callbacks to lookup
whatever additional information is necessary.
This is not yet completely ready to be exposed to the outside world,
mainly due to non-public nature of struct bpf_prog_load_params. Instead
of making it part of public API, we'll wait until the planned low-level
libbpf API improvements for BPF_PROG_LOAD and other typical bpf()
syscall APIs, at which point we'll have a public, probably OPTS-based,
way to fully specify BPF program load parameters, which will be used as
an interface for custom pre-load callbacks.
But this change itself is already a good first step to unify the BPF
program hanling logic even within the libbpf itself. As one example, all
the extra per-program type handling (sleepable bit, attach_btf_id
resolution, unsetting optional expected attach type) is now more obvious
and is gathered in one place.

Similarly to recently added legacy kprobe attach interface support
through tracefs, support attaching uprobes using the legacy interface if
host kernel doesn't support newer FD-based interface.
For uprobes event name consists of "libbpf_" prefix, PID, sanitized
binary path and offset within that binary. Structuraly the code is
aligned with kprobe logic refactoring in previous patch. struct
bpf_link_perf is re-used and all the same legacy_probe_name and
legacy_is_retprobe fields are used to ensure proper cleanup on
bpf_link__destroy().
Users should be aware, though, that on old kernels which don't support
FD-based interface for kprobe/uprobe attachment, if the application

- move out probe/event name generation outside of the code that
adds/removes it, which simplifies bookkeeping significantly;
- change the probe name format to start with "libbpf_" prefix and
include offset within kernel function;
- switch 'unsigned long' to 'size_t' for specifying kprobe offsets,
which is consistent with how uprobes define that, simplifies
printf()-ing internally, and also avoids unnecessary complications on
architectures where sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *).
This patch also implicitly fixes the problem with invalid open() error

bpf_object_open_opts.attach_prog_fd makes a pretty strong assumption
that bpf_object contains either only single freplace BPF program or all
of BPF programs in BPF object are freplaces intended to replace
different subprograms of the same target BPF program. This seems both
a bit confusing, too assuming, and limiting.
We've had bpf_program__set_attach_target() API which allows more
fine-grained control over this, on a per-program level. As such, mark
open_opts.attach_prog_fd as deprecated starting from v0.7, so that we
have one more universal way of setting freplace targets. With previous
change to allow NULL attach_func_name argument, and especially combined
with BPF skeleton, arguable bpf_program__set_attach_target() is a more

Allow to use bpf_program__set_attach_target to only set target attach
program FD, while letting libbpf to use target attach function name from
SEC() definition. This might be useful for some scenarios where
bpf_object contains multiple related freplace BPF programs intended to
replace different sub-programs in target BPF program. In such case all
programs will have the same attach_prog_fd, but different
attach_func_name. It's convenient to specify such target function names
declaratively in SEC() definitions, but attach_prog_fd is a dynamic
runtime setting.
To simplify such scenario, allow bpf_program__set_attach_target() to
delay BTF ID resolution till the BPF program load time by providing NULL
attach_func_name. In that case the behavior will be similar to using
bpf_object_open_opts.attach_prog_fd (which is marked deprecated since
v0.7), but has the benefit of allowing more control by user in what is
attached to what. Such setup allows having BPF programs attached to
different target attach_prog_fd with target functions still declaratively
recorded in BPF source code in SEC() definitions.
Selftests changes in the next patch should make this more obvious.

collection. This allows to have more information about BPF program by

Real-world applications are already doing that through something like

Detect kernel support for BPF perf link and prefer it when attaching to
perf_event, tracepoint, kprobe/uprobe. Underlying perf_event FD will be kept
open until BPF link is destroyed, at which point both perf_event FD and BPF
link FD will be closed.
This preserves current behavior in which perf_event FD is open for the
duration of bpf_link's lifetime and user is able to "disconnect" bpf_link from
underlying FD (with bpf_link__disconnect()), so that bpf_link__destroy()
doesn't close underlying perf_event FD.When BPF perf link is used, disconnect

Add new BPF helper, bpf_get_attach_cookie(), which can be used by BPF programs
to get access to a user-provided bpf_cookie value, specified during BPF
program attachment (BPF link creation) time.
Naming is hard, though. With the concept being named "BPF cookie", I've
considered calling the helper:
- bpf_get_cookie() -- seems too unspecific and easily mistaken with socket
cookie;
- bpf_get_bpf_cookie() -- too much tautology;
- bpf_get_link_cookie() -- would be ok, but while we create a BPF link to
attach BPF program to BPF hook, it's still an "attachment" and the
bpf_cookie is associated with BPF program attachment to a hook, not a BPF
link itself. Technically, we could support bpf_cookie with old-style
cgroup programs.So I ultimately rejected it in favor of
bpf_get_attach_cookie().
Currently all perf_event-backed BPF program types support
bpf_get_attach_cookie() helper. Follow-up patches will add support for
fentry/fexit programs as well.

Add ability for users to specify custom u64 value (bpf_cookie) when creating
BPF link for perf_event-backed BPF programs (kprobe/uprobe, perf_event,
tracepoints).
This is useful for cases when the same BPF program is used for attaching and
processing invocation of different tracepoints/kprobes/uprobes in a generic
fashion, but such that each invocation is distinguished from each other (e.g.,
BPF program can look up additional information associated with a specific
kernel function without having to rely on function IP lookups). This enables
new use cases to be implemented simply and efficiently that previously were
possible only through code generation (and thus multiple instances of almost
identical BPF program) or compilation at runtime (BCC-style) on target hosts
(even more expensive resource-wise). For uprobes it is not even possible in
some cases to know function IP before hand (e.g., when attaching to shared
library without PID filtering, in which case base load address is not known
for a library).
This is done by storing u64 bpf_cookie in struct bpf_prog_array_item,
corresponding to each attached and run BPF program. Given cgroup BPF programs
already use two 8-byte pointers for their needs and cgroup BPF programs don't
have (yet?) support for bpf_cookie, reuse that space through union of
cgroup_storage and new bpf_cookie field.
Make it available to kprobe/tracepoint BPF programs through bpf_trace_run_ctx.
This is set by BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY, used by kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint BPF
program execution code, which luckily is now also split from
BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY_CG. This run context will be utilized by a new BPF helper
giving access to this user-provided cookie value from inside a BPF program.
Generic perf_event BPF programs will access this value from perf_event itself
through passed in BPF program context.

Introduce a new type of BPF link - BPF perf link. This brings perf_event-based
BPF program attachments (perf_event, tracepoints, kprobes, and uprobes) into
the common BPF link infrastructure, allowing to list all active perf_event
based attachments, auto-detaching BPF program from perf_event when link's FD
is closed, get generic BPF link fdinfo/get_info functionality.
BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects perf_event's FD as target_fd. No extra flags
are currently supported.
Force-detaching and atomic BPF program updates are not yet implemented, but
with perf_event-based BPF links we now have common framework for this without
the need to extend ioctl()-based perf_event interface.
One interesting consideration is a new value for bpf_attach_type, which
BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects. Generally, it's either 1-to-1 mapping from
bpf_attach_type to bpf_prog_type, or many-to-1 mapping from a subset of
bpf_attach_types to one bpf_prog_type (e.g., see BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB or
BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK). In this case, though, we have three different
program types (KPROBE, TRACEPOINT, PERF_EVENT) using the same perf_event-based
mechanism, so it's many bpf_prog_types to one bpf_attach_type. I chose to
define a single BPF_PERF_EVENT attach type for all of them and adjust
link_create()'s logic for checking correspondence between attach type and
program type.
The alternative would be to define three new attach types (e.g., BPF_KPROBE,
BPF_TRACEPOINT, and BPF_PERF_EVENT), but that seemed like unnecessary overkill
and BPF_KPROBE will cause naming conflicts with BPF_KPROBE() macro, defined by
libbpf. I chose to not do this to avoid unnecessary proliferation of
bpf_attach_type enum values and not have to deal with naming conflicts.

Implement changes to error reporting for high-level libbpf APIs to make them
less surprising and less error-prone to users:
- in all the cases when error happens, errno is set to an appropriate error
value;
- in libbpf 1.0 mode, all pointer-returning APIs return NULL on error and
error code is communicated through errno; this applies both to APIs that
already returned NULL before (so now they communicate more detailed error
codes), as well as for many APIs that used ERR_PTR() macro and encoded
error numbers as fake pointers.
- in legacy (default) mode, those APIs that were returning ERR_PTR(err),
continue doing so, but still set errno.
With these changes, errno can be always used to extract actual error,
regardless of legacy or libbpf 1.0 modes. This is utilized internally in
libbpf in places where libbpf uses it's own high-level APIs.
libbpf_get_error() is adapted to handle both cases completely transparently to
end-users (and is used by libbpf consistently as well).
More context, justification, and discussion can be found in "Libbpf: the road
to v1.0" document ([0]).

Use aptitude to actually see what's wrong with the dependencies. And it
actually magically resolves whatever minor version conflicts there are.
The big surprise came from the apparent difference in build-dep command

Add extra logic to handle map externs (only BTF-defined maps are supported for
linking). Re-use the map parsing logic used during bpf_object__open(). Map
externs are currently restricted to always match complete map definition. So
all the specified attributes will be compared (down to pining, map_flags,
numa_node, etc). In the future this restriction might be relaxed with no
backwards compatibility issues. If any attribute is mismatched between extern
and actual map definition, linker will report an error, pointing out which one
mismatches.
The original intent was to allow for extern to specify attributes that matters
(to user) to enforce. E.g., if you specify just key information and omit
value, then any value fits. Similarly, it should have been possible to enforce
map_flags, pinning, and any other possible map attribute. Unfortunately, that
means that multiple externs can be only partially overlapping with each other,
which means linker would need to combine their type definitions to end up with
the most restrictive and fullest map definition. This requires an extra amount
of BTF manipulation which at this time was deemed unnecessary and would
require further extending generic BTF writer APIs. So that is left for future
follow ups, if there will be demand for that. But the idea seems intresting
and useful, so I want to document it here.
Weak definitions are also supported, but are pretty strict as well, just
like externs: all weak map definitions have to match exactly. In the follow up
patches this most probably will be relaxed, with __weak map definitions being
able to differ between each other (with non-weak definition always winning, of
course).

Add BPF static linker logic to resolve extern variables and functions across
multiple linked together BPF object files.
For that, linker maintains a separate list of struct glob_sym structures,
which keeps track of few pieces of metadata (is it extern or resolved global,
is it a weak symbol, which ELF section it belongs to, etc) and ties together
BTF type info and ELF symbol information and keeps them in sync.
With adding support for extern variables/funcs, it's now possible for some
sections to contain both extern and non-extern definitions. This means that
some sections may start out as ephemeral (if only externs are present and thus
there is not corresponding ELF section), but will be "upgraded" to actual ELF
section as symbols are resolved or new non-extern definitions are appended.
Additional care is taken to not duplicate extern entries in sections like
.kconfig and .ksyms.
Given libbpf requires BTF type to always be present for .kconfig/.ksym
externs, linker extends this requirement to all the externs, even those that
are supposed to be resolved during static linking and which won't be visible
to libbpf. With BTF information always present, static linker will check not
just ELF symbol matches, but entire BTF type signature match as well. That
logic is stricter that BPF CO-RE checks. It probably should be re-used by
.ksym resolution logic in libbpf as well, but that's left for follow up
patches.
To make it unnecessary to rewrite ELF symbols and minimize BTF type
rewriting/removal, ELF symbols that correspond to externs initially will be
updated in place once they are resolved. Similarly for BTF type info, VAR/FUNC
and var_secinfo's (sec_vars in struct bpf_linker) are staying stable, but
types they point to might get replaced when extern is resolved. This might
leave some left-over types (even though we try to minimize this for common
cases of having extern funcs with not argument names vs concrete function with
names properly specified). That can be addresses later with a generic BTF
garbage collection. That's left for a follow up as well.
Given BTF type appending phase is separate from ELF symbol
appending/resolution, special struct glob_sym->underlying_btf_id variable is
used to communicate resolution and rewrite decisions. 0 means
underlying_btf_id needs to be appended (it's not yet in final linker->btf), <0
values are used for temporary storage of source BTF type ID (not yet
rewritten), so -glob_sym->underlying_btf_id is BTF type id in obj-btf. But by
the end of linker_append_btf() phase, that underlying_btf_id will be remapped
and will always be > 0. This is the uglies part of the whole process, but
keeps the other parts much simpler due to stability of sec_var and VAR/FUNC
types, as well as ELF symbol, so please keep that in mind while reviewing.
BTF-defined maps require some extra custom logic and is addressed separate in
the next patch, so that to keep this one smaller and easier to review.

Refactor BTF-defined maps parsing logic to allow it to be nicely reused by BPF
static linker. Further, at least for BPF static linker, it's important to know
which attributes of a BPF map were defined explicitly, so provide a bit set
for each known portion of BTF map definition. This allows BPF static linker to
do a simple check when dealing with extern map declarations.
The same capabilities allow to distinguish attributes explicitly set to zero
(e.g., __uint(max_entries, 0)) vs the case of not specifying it at all (no
max_entries attribute at all). Libbpf is currently not utilizing that, but it
could be useful for backwards compatibility reasons later.

Currently libbpf is very strict about parsing BPF program instruction
sections. No gaps are allowed between sequential BPF programs within a given
ELF section. Libbpf enforced that by keeping track of the next section offset
that should start a new BPF (sub)program and cross-checks that by searching
for a corresponding STT_FUNC ELF symbol.
But this is too restrictive once we allow to have weak BPF programs and link
together two or more BPF object files. In such case, some weak BPF programs
might be "overridden" by either non-weak BPF program with the same name and
signature, or even by another weak BPF program that just happened to be linked
first. That, in turn, leaves BPF instructions of the "lost" BPF (sub)program
intact, but there is no corresponding ELF symbol, because no one is going to
be referencing it.
Libbpf already correctly handles such cases in the sense that it won't append
such dead code to actual BPF programs loaded into kernel. So the only change
that needs to be done is to relax the logic of parsing BPF instruction
sections. Instead of assuming next BPF (sub)program section offset, iterate
available STT_FUNC ELF symbols to discover all available BPF subprograms and
programs.
