Add high-level API wrappers for most common and typical BPF map
operations that works directly on instances of struct bpf_map * (so
you don't have to call bpf_map__fd()) and validate key/value size
expectations.
These helpers require users to specify key (and value, where
appropriate) sizes when performing lookup/update/delete/etc. This forces
user to actually think and validate (for themselves) those. This is
a good thing as user is expected by kernel to implicitly provide correct
key/value buffer sizes and kernel will just read/write necessary amount
of data. If it so happens that user doesn't set up buffers correctly
(which bit people for per-CPU maps especially) kernel either randomly
overwrites stack data or return -EFAULT, depending on user's luck and
circumstances. These high-level APIs are meant to prevent such
unpleasant and hard to debug bugs.
This patch also adds bpf_map_delete_elem_flags() low-level API and
requires passing flags to bpf_map__delete_elem() API for consistency
across all similar APIs, even though currently kernel doesn't expect
any extra flags for BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM operation.
List of map operations that get these high-level APIs:
- bpf_map_lookup_elem;
- bpf_map_update_elem;
- bpf_map_delete_elem;
- bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem;
- bpf_map_get_next_key.

Add bpf_map__set_autocreate() API that allows user to opt-out from
libbpf automatically creating BPF map during BPF object load.
This is a useful feature when building CO-RE-enabled BPF application
that takes advantage of some new-ish BPF map type (e.g., socket-local
storage) if kernel supports it, but otherwise uses some alternative way
(e.g., extra HASH map). In such case, being able to disable the creation
of a map that kernel doesn't support allows to successfully create and
load BPF object file with all its other maps and programs.
It's still up to user to make sure that no "live" code in any of their BPF
programs are referencing such map instance, which can be achieved by
guarding such code with CO-RE relocation check or by using .rodata
global variables.
If user fails to properly guard such code to turn it into "dead code",
libbpf will helpfully post-process BPF verifier log and will provide
more meaningful error and map name that needs to be guarded properly. As
such, instead of:
; value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&missing_map, &zero);
4: (85) call unknown#2001000000
invalid func unknown#2001000000
... user will see:
; value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&missing_map, &zero);
4: <invalid BPF map reference>
BPF map 'missing_map' is referenced but wasn't created

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.

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.

Adding bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function for attaching
kprobe program to multiple functions.
struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts(const struct bpf_program *prog,
const char *pattern,
const struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts *opts);
User can specify functions to attach with 'pattern' argument that
allows wildcards (*?' supported) or provide symbols or addresses
directly through opts argument. These 3 options are mutually
exclusive.
When using symbols or addresses, user can also provide cookie value
for each symbol/address that can be retrieved later in bpf program
with bpf_get_attach_cookie helper.
struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts {
size_t sz;
const char **syms;
const unsigned long *addrs;
const __u64 *cookies;
size_t cnt;
bool retprobe;
size_t :0;
};
Symbols, addresses and cookies are provided through opts object
(syms/addrs/cookies) as array pointers with specified count (cnt).
Each cookie value is paired with provided function address or symbol
with the same array index.
The program can be also attached as return probe if 'retprobe' is set.
For quick usage with NULL opts argument, like:
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts(prog, "ksys_*", NULL)
the 'prog' will be attached as kprobe to 'ksys_*' functions.
Also adding new program sections for automatic attachment:
kprobe.multi/<symbol_pattern>
kretprobe.multi/<symbol_pattern>
The symbol_pattern is used as 'pattern' argument in
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function.

Allow registering and unregistering custom handlers for BPF program.
This allows user applications and libraries to plug into libbpf's
declarative SEC() definition handling logic. This allows to offload
complex and intricate custom logic into external libraries, but still
provide a great user experience.
One such example is USDT handling library, which has a lot of code and
complexity which doesn't make sense to put into libbpf directly, but it
would be really great for users to be able to specify BPF programs with
something like SEC("usdt/<path-to-binary>:<usdt_provider>:<usdt_name>")
and have correct BPF program type set (BPF_PROGRAM_TYPE_KPROBE, as it is
uprobe) and even support BPF skeleton's auto-attach logic.
In some cases, it might be even good idea to override libbpf's default
handling, like for SEC("perf_event") programs. With custom library, it's
possible to extend logic to support specifying perf event specification
right there in SEC() definition without burdening libbpf with lots of
custom logic or extra library dependecies (e.g., libpfm4). With current
patch it's possible to override libbpf's SEC("perf_event") handling and
specify a completely custom ones.
Further, it's possible to specify a generic fallback handling for any
SEC() that doesn't match any other custom or standard libbpf handlers.
This allows to accommodate whatever legacy use cases there might be, if
necessary.
See doc comments for libbpf_register_prog_handler() and
libbpf_unregister_prog_handler() for detailed semantics.
This patch also bumps libbpf development version to v0.8 and adds new
APIs there.

Not sure why these APIs were added in the first place instead of
a completely generic (and not requiring constantly adding new APIs with
each new BPF program type) bpf_program__type() and
bpf_program__set_type() APIs. But as it is right now, there are 13 such
specialized is_type/set_type APIs, while latest kernel is already at 30+

Deprecated bpf_map__resize() in favor of bpf_map__set_max_entries()
setter. In addition to having a surprising name (users often don't
realize that they need to use bpf_map__resize()), the name also implies
some magic way of resizing BPF map after it is created, which is clearly
not the case.
Another minor annoyance is that bpf_map__resize() disallows 0 value for
max_entries, which in some cases is totally acceptable (e.g., like for
BPF perf buf case to let libbpf auto-create one buffer per each
available CPU core).

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.

- libbpf_probe_bpf_map_type() instead of bpf_probe_map_type();

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

Also fix all the existing detection logic for various program and map
types that never worked:
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_LIRC_MODE2;

- 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.

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.

Add new variants of perf_buffer__new() and perf_buffer__new_raw() that
use OPTS-based options for future extensibility ([0]). Given all the
currently used API names are best fits, re-use them and use
___libbpf_override() approach and symbol versioning to preserve ABI and
source code compatibility. struct perf_buffer_opts and struct
perf_buffer_raw_opts are kept as well, but they are restructured such
that they are OPTS-based when used with new APIs. For struct
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
legacy API variants. This is achieved with anonymous padding for OPTS
"incarnation" of the struct. These pads can be eventually used for new
options.

This deprecation annotation has no effect because for struct deprecation
attribute has to be declared after struct definition. But instead of
moving it to the end of struct definition, remove it. When deprecation
will go in effect at libbpf v0.7, this deprecation attribute will cause
libbpf's own source code compilation to trigger deprecation warnings,
which is unavoidable because libbpf still has to support that API.
So keep deprecation of APIs, but don't mark structs used in API as
deprecated.

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.

[0], bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear and its associated structs and
helper functions should be deprecated. The functionality is too specific
to the needs of 'perf', and there's little/no out-of-tree usage to
preclude introduction of a more general helper in the future.

This patch adds the libbpf infrastructure for supporting a
per-map-type "map_extra" field, whose definition will be
idiosyncratic depending on map type.
For example, for the bloom filter map, the lower 4 bits of
map_extra is used to denote the number of hash functions.
Please note that until libbpf 1.0 is here, the
"bpf_create_map_params" struct is used as a temporary
means for propagating the map_extra field to the kernel.

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
libbpf.h). Further, measuring the size of BPF program in bytes is not
exactly the best fit, because BPF programs always consist of 8-byte
instructions. As such, bpf_program__insn_cnt() is a better alternative
in pretty much any imaginable case.
So schedule bpf_program__size() deprecation starting from v0.7 and it
will be removed in libbpf 1.0.

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().

Refactor legacy kprobe handling code to follow the same logic as uprobe
legacy logic added in the next patchs:
- add append_to_file() helper that makes it simpler to work with
tracefs file-based interface for creating and deleting probes;
- 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
handling present in poke_kprobe_events(), which (the function) this
patch removes.
