Initial __arena global variable support implementation in libbpf
contains a bug: it remembers struct bpf_map pointer for arena, which is
used later on to process relocations. Recording this pointer is
problematic because map pointers are not stable during ELF relocation
collection phase, as an array of struct bpf_map's can be reallocated,
invalidating all the pointers. Libbpf is dealing with similar issues by
using a stable internal map index, though for BPF arena map specifically
this approach wasn't used due to an oversight.
The resulting behavior is non-deterministic issue which depends on exact
layout of ELF object file, number of actual maps, etc. We didn't hit
this until very recently, when this bug started triggering crash in BPF
CI when validating one of sched-ext BPF programs.
The fix is rather straightforward: we just follow an established pattern
of remembering map index (just like obj->kconfig_map_idx, for example)
instead of `struct bpf_map *`, and resolving index to a pointer at the
point where map information is necessary.
While at it also add debug-level message for arena-related relocation
resolution information, which we already have for all other kinds of
maps.

libbpf_err_ptr() helpers are meant to return NULL and set errno, if
there is an error. But btf_parse_raw_mmap() is meant to be used
internally and is expected to return ERR_PTR() values. Because of this
mismatch, when libbpf tries to mmap /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux, we don't
detect the error correctly with IS_ERR() check, and never fallback to
old non-mmap-based way of loading vmlinux BTF.
Fix this by using proper ERR_PTR() returns internally.

It's expected that kernel UAPI headers have #ifndef guards starting with

actually starting with _UAPI__LINUX. The stripping of _UAPI prefix is
done (among other things) by kernel's scripts/headers_install.sh script.
Given libbpf vendors its own UAPI header under include/uapi subdir, and
those "internal" UAPI headers are sometimes used by libbpf users for
convenience, let's stick to the __LINUX prefix rule and do that during

BTF dedup has a strong assumption that compiler with deduplicate identical
types within any given compilation unit (i.e., .c file). This property
is used when establishing equilvalence of two subgraphs of types.
Unfortunately, this property doesn't always holds in practice. We've
seen cases of having truly identical structs, unions, array definitions,
and, most recently, even pointers to the same type being duplicated
within CU.
Previously, we mitigated this on a case-by-case basis, adding a few
simple heuristics for validating that two BTF types (having two
different type IDs) are structurally the same. But this approach scales
poorly, and we can have more weird cases come up in the future.
So let's take a half-step back, and implement a bit more generic
structural equivalence check, recursively. We still limit it to
reasonable depth to avoid long reference loops. Depth-wise limiting of
potentially cyclical graph isn't great, but as I mentioned below doesn't
seem to be detrimental performance-wise. We can always improve this in
the future with per-type visited markers, if necessary.
Performance-wise this doesn't seem too affect vmlinux BTF dedup, which
makes sense because this logic kicks in not so frequently and only if we
already established a canonical candidate type match, but suddenly find
a different (but probably identical) type.

Libbpf has a somewhat obscure feature of automatically adjusting the
"size" of LDX/STX/ST instruction (memory store and load instructions),
based on originally recorded access size (u8, u16, u32, or u64) and the
actual size of the field on target kernel. This is meant to facilitate
using BPF CO-RE on 32-bit architectures (pointers are always 64-bit in
BPF, but host kernel's BTF will have it as 32-bit type), as well as
generally supporting safe type changes (unsigned integer type changes
can be transparently "relocated").
One issue that surfaced only now, 5 years after this logic was
implemented, is how this all works when dealing with fields that are
arrays. This isn't all that easy and straightforward to hit (see
selftests that reproduce this condition), but one of sched_ext BPF
programs did hit it with innocent looking loop.
Long story short, libbpf used to calculate entire array size, instead of
making sure to only calculate array's element size. But it's the element
that is loaded by LDX/STX/ST instructions (1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes), so
that's what libbpf should check. This patch adjusts the logic for
arrays and fixed the issue.

Some versions of kernel were stripping out '.llvm.<hash>' suffix from
kerne symbols (produced by Clang LTO compilation) from function names
reported in available_filter_functions, while kallsyms reported full
original name. This confuses libbpf's multi-kprobe logic of finding all
matching kernel functions for specified user glob pattern by joining
available_filter_functions and kallsyms contents, because joining by
full symbol name won't work for symbols containing '.llvm.<hash>' suffix.
This was eventually fixed by [0] in the kernel, but we'd like to not
regress multi-kprobe experience and add a work around for this bug on
libbpf side, stripping kallsym's name if it matches user pattern and
contains '.llvm.' suffix.

USDT ELF note optionally can record an offset of .stapsdt.base, which is

libbpf will do this address adjustment unconditionally if it finds

where .stapsdt.base ELF section is present, but specific USDT note
doesn't reference it. In such case, libbpf will basically just add base
address and end up with absolutely incorrect USDT target address.

Since BPF skeleton inception libbpf has been doing mmap()'ing of global
data ARRAY maps in bpf_object__load_skeleton() API, which is used by
code generated .skel.h files (i.e., by BPF skeletons only).
This is wrong because if BPF object is loaded through generic
bpf_object__load() API, global data maps won't be re-mmap()'ed after
load step, and memory pointers returned from bpf_map__initial_value()
would be wrong and won't reflect the actual memory shared between BPF
program and user space.
bpf_map__initial_value() return result is rarely used after load, so
this went unnoticed for a really long time, until bpftrace project
attempted to load BPF object through generic bpf_object__load() API and
then used BPF subskeleton instantiated from such bpf_object. It turned
out that .data/.rodata/.bss data updates through such subskeleton was
"blackholed", all because libbpf wouldn't re-mmap() those maps during
bpf_object__load() phase.
Long story short, this step should be done by libbpf regardless of BPF
skeleton usage, right after BPF map is created in the kernel. This patch
moves this functionality into bpf_object__populate_internal_map() to
achieve this. And bpf_object__load_skeleton() is now simple and almost
trivial, only propagating these mmap()'ed pointers into user-supplied
skeleton structs.
We also do trivial adjustments to error reporting inside
bpf_object__populate_internal_map() for consistency with the rest of
libbpf's map-handling code.

We do an ugly copying of options in bpf_object__open_skeleton() just to
be able to set object name from skeleton's recorded name (while still
allowing user to override it through opts->object_name).
This is not just ugly, but it also is broken due to memcpy() that
doesn't take into account potential skel_opts' and user-provided opts'
sizes differences due to backward and forward compatibility. This leads
to copying over extra bytes and then failing to validate options
properly. It could, technically, lead also to SIGSEGV, if we are unlucky.
So just get rid of that memory copy completely and instead pass
default object name into bpf_object_open() directly, simplifying all
this significantly. The rule now is that obj_name should be non-NULL for
bpf_object_open() when called with in-memory buffer, so validate that
explicitly as well.
We adopt bpf_object__open_mem() to this as well and generate default
name (based on buffer memory address and size) outside of bpf_object_open().

Implement iterator-based type ID and string offset BTF field iterator.
This is used extensively in BTF-handling code and BPF linker code for
various sanity checks, rewriting IDs/offsets, etc. Currently this is
implemented as visitor pattern calling custom callbacks, which makes the
logic (especially in simple cases) unnecessarily obscure and harder to
follow.
Having equivalent functionality using iterator pattern makes for simpler
to understand and maintain code. As we add more code for BTF processing
logic in libbpf, it's best to switch to iterator pattern before adding
more callback-based code.
The idea for iterator-based implementation is to record offsets of
necessary fields within fixed btf_type parts (which should be iterated
just once), and, for kinds that have multiple members (based on vlen
field), record where in each member necessary fields are located.
Generic iteration code then just keeps track of last offset that was
returned and handles N members correctly. Return type is just u32
pointer, where NULL is returned when all relevant fields were already
iterated.

Libbpf is automatically (and transparently to user) detecting
multi-uprobe support in the kernel, and, if supported, uses
multi-uprobes to improve USDT attachment speed.
USDTs can be attached system-wide or for the specific process by PID. In
the latter case, we rely on correct kernel logic of not triggering USDT
for unrelated processes.
As such, on older kernels that do support multi-uprobes, but still have
broken PID filtering logic, we need to fall back to singular uprobes.
Unfortunately, whether user is using PID filtering or not is known at
the attachment time, which happens after relevant BPF programs were
loaded into the kernel. Also unfortunately, we need to make a call
whether to use multi-uprobes or singular uprobe for SEC("usdt") programs
during BPF object load time, at which point we have no information about
possible PID filtering.
The distinction between single and multi-uprobes is small, but important
for the kernel. Multi-uprobes get BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_MULTI attach type,
and kernel internally substitiute different implementation of some of
BPF helpers (e.g., bpf_get_attach_cookie()) depending on whether uprobe
is multi or singular. So, multi-uprobes and singular uprobes cannot be
intermixed.
All the above implies that we have to make an early and conservative
call about the use of multi-uprobes. And so this patch modifies libbpf's
existing feature detector for multi-uprobe support to also check correct
PID filtering. If PID filtering is not yet fixed, we fall back to
singular uprobes for USDTs.
This extension to feature detection is simple thanks to kernel's -EINVAL
addition for pid < 0.

which happens when we pass some non-standard (internal) kernel error to
it. Before this patch we'd have "ERROR: strerror_r(524)=22", which is
quite confusing. Now for the same situation we'll see a bit less
visually scary "unknown error (-524)".
At least we won't confuse user with irrelevant EINVAL (22).

There is yet another corner case where user can set STRUCT_OPS program
reference in STRUCT_OPS map to NULL, but libbpf will fail to disable
autoload for such BPF program. This time it's the case of "new" kernel
which has type information about callback field, but user explicitly
nulled-out program reference from user-space after opening BPF object.
Fix, hopefully, the last remaining unhandled case.

libbpf ensures that BPF program references set in map->st_ops->progs[i]
during open phase are always valid STRUCT_OPS programs. This is done in
bpf_object__collect_st_ops_relos(). So there is no need to double-check
that in bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops().
Simplify the code by removing unnecessary check. Also, we avoid using
local prog variable to keep code similar to the upcoming fix, which adds
similar logic in another part of bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops().

ringbuf_process_ring() return int64_t, while ring__consume_n() assigns
it to int. It's highly unlikely, but possible for ringbuf_process_ring()
to return value larger than INT_MAX, so use int64_t. ring__consume_n()
does check INT_MAX before returning int result to the user.

Previous attempt to fix the handling of nulled-out (from skeleton)
struct_ops program is working well only if struct_ops program is defined
as non-autoloaded by default (i.e., has SEC("?struct_ops") annotation,
with question mark).
Unfortunately, that fix is incomplete due to how
bpf_object_adjust_struct_ops_autoload() is marking referenced or
non-referenced struct_ops program as autoloaded (or not). Because
bpf_object_adjust_struct_ops_autoload() is run after
bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops() step, which sets program slot to NULL,
such programs won't be considered "referenced", and so its autoload
property won't be changed.
This all sounds convoluted and it is, but the desire is to have as
natural behavior (as far as struct_ops usage is concerned) as possible.
This fix is redoing the original fix but makes it work for
autoloaded-by-default struct_ops programs as well. We achieve this by
forcing prog->autoload to false if prog was declaratively set for some
struct_ops map, but then nulled-out from skeleton (programmatically).
This achieves desired effect of not autoloading it. If such program is
still referenced somewhere else (different struct_ops map or different
callback field), it will get its autoload property adjusted by
bpf_object_adjust_struct_ops_autoload() later.
We also fix selftest, which accidentally used SEC("?struct_ops")
annotation. It was meant to use autoload-by-default program from the
very beginning.

If struct_ops has one of program callbacks set declaratively and host
kernel is old and doesn't support this callback, libbpf will allow to
load such struct_ops as long as that callback was explicitly nulled-out
(presumably through skeleton). This is all working correctly, except we
won't reset corresponding program slot to NULL before bailing out, which
will lead to libbpf not detecting that BPF program has to be not
auto-loaded. Fix this by unconditionally resetting corresponding program
slot to NULL.

LLVM automatically places __arena variables into ".arena.1" ELF section.
In order to use such global variables bpf program must include definition
of arena map in ".maps" section, like:
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA);
__uint(map_flags, BPF_F_MMAPABLE);
__uint(max_entries, 1000); /* number of pages */
__ulong(map_extra, 2ull << 44); /* start of mmap() region */
} arena SEC(".maps");
libbpf recognizes both uses of arena and creates single `struct bpf_map *`
instance in libbpf APIs.
".arena.1" ELF section data is used as initial data image, which is exposed
through skeleton and bpf_map__initial_value() to the user, if they need to tune
it before the load phase. During load phase, this initial image is copied over
into mmap()'ed region corresponding to arena, and discarded.
Few small checks here and there had to be added to make sure this
approach works with bpf_map__initial_value(), mostly due to hard-coded
assumption that map->mmaped is set up with mmap() syscall and should be
munmap()'ed. For arena, .arena.1 can be (much) smaller than maximum
arena size, so this smaller data size has to be tracked separately.
Given it is enforced that there is only one arena for entire bpf_object
instance, we just keep it in a separate field. This can be generalized
if necessary later.
All global variables from ".arena.1" section are accessible from user space
via skel->arena->name_of_var.
For bss/data/rodata the skeleton/libbpf perform the following sequence:
1. addr = mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS)
2. user space optionally modifies global vars
3. map_fd = bpf_create_map()
4. bpf_update_map_elem(map_fd, addr) // to store values into the kernel
5. mmap(addr, MAP_FIXED, map_fd)
after step 5 user spaces see the values it wrote at step 2 at the same addresses
arena doesn't support update_map_elem. Hence skeleton/libbpf do:
1. addr = malloc(sizeof SEC ".arena.1")
2. user space optionally modifies global vars
3. map_fd = bpf_create_map(MAP_TYPE_ARENA)
4. real_addr = mmap(map->map_extra, MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED, map_fd)
5. memcpy(real_addr, addr) // this will fault-in and allocate pages
At the end look and feel of global data vs __arena global data is the same from
bpf prog pov.
Another complication is:
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA);
} arena SEC(".maps");
int __arena foo;
int bar;
ptr1 = &foo; // relocation against ".arena.1" section
ptr2 = &arena; // relocation against ".maps" section
ptr3 = &bar; // relocation against ".bss" section
Fo the kernel ptr1 and ptr2 has point to the same arena's map_fd
while ptr3 points to a different global array's map_fd.
For the verifier:
ptr1->type == unknown_scalar
ptr2->type == const_ptr_to_map
ptr3->type == ptr_to_map_value
After verification, from JIT pov all 3 ptr-s are normal ld_imm64 insns.

Add bpf_core_cast() macro that wraps bpf_rdonly_cast() kfunc. It's more
ergonomic than kfunc, as it automatically extracts btf_id with
bpf_core_type_id_kernel(), and works with type names. It also casts result
to (T *) pointer. See the definition of the macro, it's self-explanatory.
libbpf declares bpf_rdonly_cast() extern as __weak __ksym and should be
safe to not conflict with other possible declarations in user code.
But we do have a conflict with current BPF selftests that declare their
externs with first argument as `void *obj`, while libbpf opts into more
permissive `const void *obj`. This causes conflict, so we fix up BPF
selftests uses in the same patch.
