Use __weak __hidden for bpf_usdt_xxx() APIs instead of much more
confusing `static inline __noinline`. This was previously impossible due
to libbpf erroring out on CO-RE relocations pointing to eliminated weak

During BPF static linking, all the ELF relocations and .BTF.ext
information (including CO-RE relocations) are preserved for __weak
subprograms that were logically overriden by either previous weak
subprogram instance or by corresponding "strong" (non-weak) subprogram.
This is just how native user-space linkers work, nothing new.
But libbpf is over-zealous when processing CO-RE relocation to error out
when CO-RE relocation belonging to such eliminated weak subprogram is
encountered. Instead of erroring out on this expected situation, log
debug-level message and skip the relocation.

During BTF fix up for global variables, global variable can be global
weak and will have STB_WEAK binding in ELF. Support such global
variables in addition to non-weak ones.
This is not the problem when using BPF static linking, as BPF static
linker "fixes up" BTF during generation so that libbpf doesn't have to
do it anymore during bpf_object__open(), which led to this not being
noticed for a while, along with a pretty rare (currently) use of __weak

The logic is superficially similar to that of x86, but the small
differences (no need for register table and dynamic allocation of
register names, no $ sign before constants) make maintaining a common

Add x86/x86_64-specific USDT argument specification parsing. Each
architecture will require their own logic, as all this is arch-specific
assembly-based notation. Architectures that libbpf doesn't support for
USDTs will pr_warn() with specific error and return -ENOTSUP.
We use sscanf() as a very powerful and easy to use string parser. Those
spaces in sscanf's format string mean "skip any whitespaces", which is
pretty nifty (and somewhat little known) feature.
All this was tested on little-endian architecture, so bit shifts are

Last part of architecture-agnostic user-space USDT handling logic is to
set up BPF spec and, optionally, IP-to-ID maps from user-space.
usdt_manager performs a compact spec ID allocation to utilize
fixed-sized BPF maps as efficiently as possible. We also use hashmap to
deduplicate USDT arg spec strings and map identical strings to single
USDT spec, minimizing the necessary BPF map size. usdt_manager supports
arbitrary sequences of attachment and detachment, both of the same USDT
and multiple different USDTs and internally maintains a free list of
unused spec IDs. bpf_link_usdt's logic is extended with proper setup and
teardown of this spec ID free list and supporting BPF maps.

Implement architecture-agnostic parts of USDT parsing logic. The code is
the documentation in this case, it's futile to try to succinctly
describe how USDT parsing is done in any sort of concreteness. But
still, USDTs are recorded in special ELF notes section (.note.stapsdt),
where each USDT call site is described separately. Along with USDT
provider and USDT name, each such note contains USDT argument
specification, which uses assembly-like syntax to describe how to fetch
value of USDT argument. USDT arg spec could be just a constant, or
a register, or a register dereference (most common cases in x86_64), but
it technically can be much more complicated cases, like offset relative
to global symbol and stuff like that. One of the later patches will
implement most common subset of this for x86 and x86-64 architectures,
which seems to handle a lot of real-world production application.
USDT arg spec contains a compact encoding allowing usdt.bpf.h from
previous patch to handle the above 3 cases. Instead of recording which
register might be needed, we encode register's offset within struct
pt_regs to simplify BPF-side implementation. USDT argument can be of
different byte sizes (1, 2, 4, and 8) and signed or unsigned. To handle
this, libbpf pre-calculates necessary bit shifts to do proper casting
and sign-extension in a short sequences of left and right shifts.
The rest is in the code with sometimes extensive comments and references
to external "documentation" for USDTs.

Wire up libbpf USDT support APIs without yet implementing all the
nitty-gritty details of USDT discovery, spec parsing, and BPF map
initialization.
User-visible user-space API is simple and is conceptually very similar
to uprobe API.
bpf_program__attach_usdt() API allows to programmatically attach given
BPF program to a USDT, specified through binary path (executable or
shared lib), USDT provider and name. Also, just like in uprobe case, PID
filter is specified (0 - self, -1 - any process, or specific PID).
Optionally, USDT cookie value can be specified. Such single API
invocation will try to discover given USDT in specified binary and will
use (potentially many) BPF uprobes to attach this program in correct
locations.
Just like any bpf_program__attach_xxx() APIs, bpf_link is returned that
represents this attachment. It is a virtual BPF link that doesn't have
direct kernel object, as it can consist of multiple underlying BPF
uprobe links. As such, attachment is not atomic operation and there can
be brief moment when some USDT call sites are attached while others are
still in the process of attaching. This should be taken into
consideration by user. But bpf_program__attach_usdt() guarantees that
in the case of success all USDT call sites are successfully attached, or
all the successfuly attachments will be detached as soon as some USDT
call sites failed to be attached. So, in theory, there could be cases of
failed bpf_program__attach_usdt() call which did trigger few USDT
program invocations. This is unavoidable due to multi-uprobe nature of
USDT and has to be handled by user, if it's important to create an
illusion of atomicity.
USDT BPF programs themselves are marked in BPF source code as either
SEC("usdt"), in which case they won't be auto-attached through
skeleton's <skel>__attach() method, or it can have a full definition,
which follows the spirit of fully-specified uprobes:
SEC("usdt/<path>:<provider>:<name>"). In the latter case skeleton's
attach method will attempt auto-attachment. Similarly, generic
bpf_program__attach() will have enought information to go off of for
parameterless attachment.
USDT BPF programs are actually uprobes, and as such for kernel they are
marked as BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE.
Another part of this patch is USDT-related feature probing:
- BPF cookie support detection from user-space;
- detection of kernel support for auto-refcounting of USDT semaphore.
The latter is optional. If kernel doesn't support such feature and USDT
doesn't rely on USDT semaphores, no error is returned. But if libbpf
detects that USDT requires setting semaphores and kernel doesn't support
this, libbpf errors out with explicit pr_warn() message. Libbpf doesn't
support poking process's memory directly to increment semaphore value,
like BCC does on legacy kernels, due to inherent raciness and danger of
such process memory manipulation. Libbpf let's kernel take care of this
properly or gives up.
Logistically, all the extra USDT-related infrastructure of libbpf is put
into a separate usdt.c file and abstracted behind struct usdt_manager.
Each bpf_object has lazily-initialized usdt_manager pointer, which is
only instantiated if USDT programs are attempted to be attached. Closing
BPF object frees up usdt_manager resources. usdt_manager keeps track of
USDT spec ID assignment and few other small things.
Subsequent patches will fill out remaining missing pieces of USDT
initialization and setup logic.

Add BPF-side implementation of libbpf-provided USDT support. This
consists of single header library, usdt.bpf.h, which is meant to be used
from user's BPF-side source code. This header is added to the list of
installed libbpf header, along bpf_helpers.h and others.
BPF-side implementation consists of two BPF maps:
- spec map, which contains "a USDT spec" which encodes information
necessary to be able to fetch USDT arguments and other information
(argument count, user-provided cookie value, etc) at runtime;
- IP-to-spec-ID map, which is only used on kernels that don't support
BPF cookie feature. It allows to lookup spec ID based on the place
in user application that triggers USDT program.
These maps have default sizes, 256 and 1024, which are chosen
conservatively to not waste a lot of space, but handling a lot of common
cases. But there could be cases when user application needs to either
trace a lot of different USDTs, or USDTs are heavily inlined and their
arguments are located in a lot of differing locations. For such cases it
might be necessary to size those maps up, which libbpf allows to do by
overriding BPF_USDT_MAX_SPEC_CNT and BPF_USDT_MAX_IP_CNT macros.
It is an important aspect to keep in mind. Single USDT (user-space
equivalent of kernel tracepoint) can have multiple USDT "call sites".
That is, single logical USDT is triggered from multiple places in user
application. This can happen due to function inlining. Each such inlined
instance of USDT invocation can have its own unique USDT argument
specification (instructions about the location of the value of each of
USDT arguments). So while USDT looks very similar to usual uprobe or
kernel tracepoint, under the hood it's actually a collection of uprobes,
each potentially needing different spec to know how to fetch arguments.
User-visible API consists of three helper functions:
- bpf_usdt_arg_cnt(), which returns number of arguments of current USDT;
- bpf_usdt_arg(), which reads value of specified USDT argument (by
it's zero-indexed position) and returns it as 64-bit value;
- bpf_usdt_cookie(), which functions like BPF cookie for USDT
programs; this is necessary as libbpf doesn't allow specifying actual
BPF cookie and utilizes it internally for USDT support implementation.
Each bpf_usdt_xxx() APIs expect struct pt_regs * context, passed into
BPF program. On kernels that don't support BPF cookie it is used to
fetch absolute IP address of the underlying uprobe.
usdt.bpf.h also provides BPF_USDT() macro, which functions like
BPF_PROG() and BPF_KPROBE() and allows much more user-friendly way to
get access to USDT arguments, if USDT definition is static and known to
the user. It is expected that majority of use cases won't have to use
bpf_usdt_arg_cnt() and bpf_usdt_arg() directly and BPF_USDT() will cover
all their needs.
Last, usdt.bpf.h is utilizing BPF CO-RE for one single purpose: to
detect kernel support for BPF cookie. If BPF CO-RE dependency is
undesirable, user application can redefine BPF_USDT_HAS_BPF_COOKIE to
either a boolean constant (or equivalently zero and non-zero), or even
point it to its own .rodata variable that can be specified from user's
application user-space code. It is important that
BPF_USDT_HAS_BPF_COOKIE is known to BPF verifier as static value (thus
.rodata and not just .data), as otherwise BPF code will still contain
bpf_get_attach_cookie() BPF helper call and will fail validation at
runtime, if not dead-code eliminated.

Now that u[ret]probes can use name-based specification, it makes
sense to add support for auto-attach based on SEC() definition.
The format proposed is
SEC("u[ret]probe/binary:[raw_offset|[function_name[+offset]]")
For example, to trace malloc() in libc:
SEC("uprobe/libc.so.6:malloc")
...or to trace function foo2 in /usr/bin/foo:
SEC("uprobe//usr/bin/foo:foo2")
Auto-attach is done for all tasks (pid -1). prog can be an absolute
path or simply a program/library name; in the latter case, we use
PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH to resolve the full path, falling back to

kprobe attach is name-based, using lookups of kallsyms to translate
a function name to an address. Currently uprobe attach is done
via an offset value as described in [1]. Extend uprobe opts
for attach to include a function name which can then be converted
into a uprobe-friendly offset. The calcualation is done in
several steps:
1. First, determine the symbol address using libelf; this gives us
the offset as reported by objdump
2. If the function is a shared library function - and the binary
provided is a shared library - no further work is required;
the address found is the required address
3. Finally, if the function is local, subtract the base address
associated with the object, retrieved from ELF program headers.
The resultant value is then added to the func_offset value passed
in to specify the uprobe attach address. So specifying a func_offset
of 0 along with a function name "printf" will attach to printf entry.
The modes of operation supported are then
1. to attach to a local function in a binary; function "foo1" in
"/usr/bin/foo"
2. to attach to a shared library function in a shared library -
function "malloc" in libc.

This patch is to simplify the uapi bpf.h regarding to the tstamp type
and use a similar way as the kernel to describe the value stored
in __sk_buff->tstamp.
My earlier thought was to avoid describing the semantic and
clock base for the rcv timestamp until there is more clarity
on the use case, so the __sk_buff->delivery_time_type naming instead
of __sk_buff->tstamp_type.
With some thoughts, it can reuse the UNSPEC naming. This patch first
removes BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_NONE and also
rename BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_UNSPEC to BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC
and BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO to BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_DELIVERY_MONO.
The semantic of BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_DELIVERY_MONO is the same:
__sk_buff->tstamp has delivery time in mono clock base.
BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC means __sk_buff->tstamp has the (rcv)
tstamp at ingress and the delivery time at egress. At egress,
the clock base could be found from skb->sk->sk_clockid.
__sk_buff->tstamp == 0 naturally means NONE, so NONE is not needed.
With BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC for the rcv tstamp at ingress,
the __sk_buff->delivery_time_type is also renamed to __sk_buff->tstamp_type
which was also suggested in the earlier discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/b181acbe-caf8-502d-4b7b-7d96b9fc5d55@iogearbox.net/
The above will then make __sk_buff->tstamp and __sk_buff->tstamp_type
the same as its kernel skb->tstamp and skb->mono_delivery_time
counter part.
The internal kernel function bpf_skb_convert_dtime_type_read() is then
renamed to bpf_skb_convert_tstamp_type_read() and it can be simplified
with the BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_NONE gone. A BPF_ALU32_IMM(BPF_AND)
insn is also saved by using BPF_JMP32_IMM(BPF_JSET).
The bpf helper bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() is also renamed to
bpf_skb_set_tstamp(). The arg name is changed from dtime
to tstamp also. It only allows setting tstamp 0 for
BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC and it could be relaxed later
if there is use case to change mono delivery time to
non mono.
prog->delivery_time_access is also renamed to prog->tstamp_type_access.
