The documentation states that when line_info is available when dumping a
program, the source line will be displayed "by default". There is no
notion of "default" here: the line is always displayed if available,
there is no way currently to turn it off.
In the next sentence, the documentation states that if "linum" is used
on the command line, the relevant filename, line, and column will be
displayed "on top of the source line". This is incorrect, as they are
currently displayed on the right side of the source line (or on top of
the eBPF instruction, not the source).
This commit fixes the documentation to address these points.

We want to support a ringbuf map type where samples are published from
user-space, to be consumed by BPF programs. BPF currently supports a
kernel -> user-space circular ring buffer via the BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF
map type. We'll need to define a new map type for user-space -> kernel,
as none of the helpers exported for BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF will apply
to a user-space producer ring buffer, and we'll want to add one or
more helper functions that would not apply for a kernel-producer
ring buffer.
This patch therefore adds a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type
definition. The map type is useless in its current form, as there is no
way to access or use it for anything until we one or more BPF helpers. A
follow-on patch will therefore add a new helper function that allows BPF
programs to run callbacks on samples that are published to the ring
buffer.

To make it more explicit that the features listed with "bpftool feature
list" are known to bpftool, but not necessary available on the system
(as opposed to the probed features), rename the "feature list" command
into "feature list_builtins".
Note that "bpftool feature list" still works as before given that we
recognise arguments from their prefixes; but the real name of the
subcommand, in particular as displayed in the man page or the
interactive help, will now include "_builtins".
Since we update the bash completion accordingly, let's also take this
chance to redirect error output to /dev/null in the completion script,
to avoid displaying unexpected error messages when users attempt to
tab-complete.

Add a "bpftool feature list" subcommand to list BPF "features".
Contrarily to "bpftool feature probe", this is not about the features
available on the system. Instead, it lists all features known to bpftool
from compilation time; in other words, all program, map, attach, link
types known to the libbpf version in use, and all helpers found in the
UAPI BPF header.
The first use case for this feature is bash completion: running the
command provides a list of types that can be used to produce the list of
candidate map types, for example.
Now that bpftool uses "standard" names provided by libbpf for the
program, map, link, and attach types, having the ability to list these
types and helpers could also be useful in scripts to loop over existing
items.
Sample output:
# bpftool feature list prog_types | grep -vw unspec | head -n 6
socket_filter
kprobe
sched_cls
sched_act
tracepoint
xdp
# bpftool -p feature list map_types | jq '.[1]'
"hash"
# bpftool feature list attach_types | grep '^cgroup_'
cgroup_inet_ingress
cgroup_inet_egress
[...]
cgroup_inet_sock_release
# bpftool feature list helpers | grep -vw bpf_unspec | wc -l
207
The "unspec" types and helpers are not filtered out by bpftool, so as to
remain closer to the enums, and to preserve the indices in the JSON
arrays (e.g. "hash" at index 1 == BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH in map types list).

This change switches bpftool over to using the recently introduced
libbpf_bpf_attach_type_str function instead of maintaining its own
string representation for the bpf_attach_type enum.
Note that contrary to other enum types, the variant names that bpftool
maps bpf_attach_type to do not adhere a simple to follow rule. With
bpf_prog_type, for example, the textual representation can easily be
inferred by stripping the BPF_PROG_TYPE_ prefix and lowercasing the
remaining string. bpf_attach_type violates this rule for various
variants.
We decided to fix up this deficiency with this change, meaning that
bpftool uses the same textual representations as libbpf. Supporting
tests, completion scripts, and man pages have been adjusted accordingly.
However, we did add support for accepting (the now undocumented)
original attach type names when they are provided by users.
For the test (test_bpftool_synctypes.py), I have removed the enum
representation checks, because we no longer mirror the various enum
variant names in bpftool source code. For the man page, help text, and
completion script checks we are now using enum definitions from
uapi/linux/bpf.h as the source of truth directly.

Subskeletons are headers which require an already loaded program to
operate.
For example, when a BPF library is linked into a larger BPF object file,
the library userspace needs a way to access its own global variables
without requiring knowledge about the larger program at build time.
As a result, subskeletons require a loaded bpf_object to open().
Further, they find their own symbols in the larger program by
walking BTF type data at run time.
At this time, programs, maps, and globals are supported through
non-owning pointers.

test_bpftool_synctypes.py helps detecting inconsistencies in bpftool
between the different list of types and options scattered in the
sources, the documentation, and the bash completion. For options that
apply to all bpftool commands, the script had a hardcoded list of
values, and would use them to check whether the man pages are
up-to-date. When writing the script, it felt acceptable to have this
list in order to avoid to open and parse bpftool's main.h every time,
and because the list of global options in bpftool doesn't change so
often.
However, this is prone to omissions, and we recently added a new
-l|--legacy option which was described in common_options.rst, but not
listed in the options summary of each manual page. The script did not
complain, because it keeps comparing the hardcoded list to the (now)
outdated list in the header file.
To address the issue, this commit brings the following changes:
- Options that are common to all bpftool commands (--json, --pretty, and
--debug) are moved to a dedicated file, and used in the definition of
a RST substitution. This substitution is used in the sources of all
the man pages.
- This list of common options is updated, with the addition of the new
-l|--legacy option.
- The script test_bpftool_synctypes.py is updated to compare:
- Options specific to a command, found in C files, for the
interactive help messages, with the same specific options from the
relevant man page for that command.
- Common options, checked just once: the list in main.h is
compared with the new list in substitutions.rst.

All bpftool commands support the options for JSON output and debug from
libbpf. In addition, some commands support additional options
corresponding to specific use cases.
The list of options described in the man pages for the different
commands are not always accurate. The messages for interactive help are
mostly limited to HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS, and are even less representative of
the actual set of options supported for the commands.
Let's update the lists:
- HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS is modified to contain the "default" options (JSON
and debug), and to be extensible (no ending curly bracket).
- All commands use HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS in their help message, and then
complete the list with their specific options.
- The lists of options in the man pages are updated.
- The formatting of the list for bpftool.rst is adjusted to match

The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2),
bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current
one).
This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual
pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated
accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple
times in the past.
Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections
automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists
are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are
available in the same directory.

There is no support for creating maps of types array-of-map or
hash-of-map in bpftool. This is because the kernel needs an inner_map_fd
to collect metadata on the inner maps to be supported by the new map,
but bpftool does not provide a way to pass this file descriptor.
Add a new optional "inner_map" keyword that can be used to pass a
reference to a map, retrieve a fd to that map, and pass it as the
inner_map_fd.
Add related documentation and bash completion. Note that we can
reference the inner map by its name, meaning we can have several times
the keyword "name" with different meanings (mandatory outer map name,
and possibly a name to use to find the inner_map_fd). The bash
completion will offer it just once, and will not suggest "name" on the
following command:
# bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/my_outer_map type hash_of_maps \
inner_map name my_inner_map [TAB]
Fixing that specific case seems too convoluted. Completion will work as
expected, however, if the outer map name comes first and the "inner_map
name ..." is passed second.

Nearly all man pages for bpftool have the same common set of option
flags (--help, --version, --json, --pretty, --debug). The description is
duplicated across all the pages, which is more difficult to maintain if
the description of an option changes. It may also be confusing to sort
out what options are not "common" and should not be copied when creating
new manual pages.
Let's move the description for those common options to a separate file,
which is included with a RST directive when generating the man pages.

Bpftool has a number of features that can be included or left aside
during compilation. This includes:
- Support for libbfd, providing the disassembler for JIT-compiled
programs.
- Support for BPF skeletons, used for profiling programs or iterating on
the PIDs of processes associated with BPF objects.
In order to make it easy for users to understand what features were
compiled for a given bpftool binary, print the status of the two
features above when showing the version number for bpftool ("bpftool -V"
or "bpftool version"). Document this in the main manual page. Example
invocations:
$ bpftool version
./bpftool v5.9.0-rc1
features: libbfd, skeletons
$ bpftool -p version
{
"version": "5.9.0-rc1",
"features": {
"libbfd": true,
"skeletons": true
}
}
Some other parameters are optional at compilation
("DISASM_FOUR_ARGS_SIGNATURE", LIBCAP support) but they do not impact
significantly bpftool's behaviour from a user's point of view, so their
status is not reported.
Available commands and supported program types depend on the version
number, and are therefore not reported either. Note that they are
already available, albeit without JSON, via bpftool's help messages.
v3:
- Use a simple list instead of boolean values for plain output.
v2:
- Fix JSON (object instead or array for the features).

To build man pages for bpftool (and for eBPF helper functions), rst2man
can log different levels of information. Let's make it log all levels
to keep the RST files clean.
Doing so, rst2man complains about double colons, used for literal
blocks, that look like underlines for section titles. Let's add the
necessary blank lines.
v2:
- Use "--verbose" instead of "-r 1" (same behaviour but more readable).
- Pass it through a RST2MAN_OPTS variable so we can easily pass other
options too.

Similar to bpf_local_storage for sockets, add local storage for inodes.
The life-cycle of storage is managed with the life-cycle of the inode.
i.e. the storage is destroyed along with the owning inode.
The BPF LSM allocates an __rcu pointer to the bpf_local_storage in the
security blob which are now stackable and can co-exist with other LSMs.

Currently, only one command is supported
bpftool iter pin <bpf_prog.o> <path>
It will pin the trace/iter bpf program in
the object file <bpf_prog.o> to the <path>
where <path> should be on a bpffs mount.
For example,
$ bpftool iter pin ./bpf_iter_ipv6_route.o \
/sys/fs/bpf/my_route
User can then do a `cat` to print out the results:
$ cat /sys/fs/bpf/my_route

The implementation for ipv6_route iterator is in one of subsequent
patches.
This patch also added BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER to link query.
In the future, we may add additional parameters to pin command
by parameterizing the bpf iterator. For example, a map_id or pid
may be added to let bpf program only traverses a single map or task,
similar to kernel seq_file single_open().
We may also add introspection command for targets/iterators by
leveraging the bpf_iter itself.

The new libcap dependency is not used for an essential feature of
bpftool, and we could imagine building the tool without checks on
CAP_SYS_ADMIN by disabling probing features as an unprivileged users.
Make it so, in order to avoid a hard dependency on libcap, and to ease
packaging/embedding of bpftool.

There is demand for a way to identify what BPF helper functions are
available to unprivileged users. To do so, allow unprivileged users to
run "bpftool feature probe" to list BPF-related features. This will only
show features accessible to those users, and may not reflect the full
list of features available (to administrators) on the system.
To avoid the case where bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root and
would list only a subset of the features supported by the system when it
would be expected to list all of them, running as unprivileged is gated
behind the "unprivileged" keyword passed to the command line. When used
by a privileged user, this keyword allows to drop the CAP_SYS_ADMIN and
to list the features available to unprivileged users. Note that this
addsd a dependency on libpcap for compiling bpftool.
Note that there is no particular reason why the probes were restricted
to root, other than the fact I did not need them for unprivileged and
did not bother with the additional checks at the time probes were added.
