This patch adds benchmark tests for the throughput (for lookups + updates)
and the false positive rate of bloom filter lookups, as well as some
minor refactoring of the bash script for running the benchmarks.
These benchmarks show that as the number of hash functions increases,
the throughput and the false positive rate of the bloom filter decreases.
>From the benchmark data, the approximate average false-positive rates
are roughly as follows:
1 hash function = ~30%
2 hash functions = ~15%
3 hash functions = ~5%
4 hash functions = ~2.5%
5 hash functions = ~1%
6 hash functions = ~0.5%
7 hash functions = ~0.35%
8 hash functions = ~0.15%
9 hash functions = ~0.1%
10 hash functions = ~0%
For reference data, the benchmarks run on one thread on a machine
with one numa node for 1 to 5 hash functions for 8-byte and 64-byte
values are as follows:

This patch adds test cases for bpf bloom filter maps. They include tests
checking against invalid operations by userspace, tests for using the
bloom filter map as an inner map, and a bpf program that queries the
bloom filter map for values added by a userspace program.

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.

This patch adds the kernel-side changes for the implementation of
a bpf bloom filter map.
The bloom filter map supports peek (determining whether an element
is present in the map) and push (adding an element to the map)
operations.These operations are exposed to userspace applications
through the already existing syscalls in the following way:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push
The bloom filter map does not have keys, only values. In light of
this, the bloom filter map's API matches that of queue stack maps:
user applications use BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM/BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
which correspond internally to bpf_map_peek_elem/bpf_map_push_elem,
and bpf programs must use the bpf_map_peek_elem and bpf_map_push_elem
APIs to query or add an element to the bloom filter map. When the
bloom filter map is created, it must be created with a key_size of 0.
For updates, the user will pass in the element to add to the map
as the value, with a NULL key. For lookups, the user will pass in the
element to query in the map as the value, with a NULL key. In the
verifier layer, this requires us to modify the argument type of
a bloom filter's BPF_FUNC_map_peek_elem call to ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE;
as well, in the syscall layer, we need to copy over the user value
so that in bpf_map_peek_elem, we know which specific value to query.
A few things to please take note of:
* If there are any concurrent lookups + updates, the user is
responsible for synchronizing this to ensure no false negative lookups
occur.
* The number of hashes to use for the bloom filter is configurable from
userspace. If no number is specified, the default used will be 5 hash
functions. The benchmarks later in this patchset can help compare the
performance of using different number of hashes on different entry
sizes. In general, using more hashes decreases both the false positive
rate and the speed of a lookup.
* Deleting an element in the bloom filter map is not supported.
* The bloom filter map may be used as an inner map.
* The "max_entries" size that is specified at map creation time is used
to approximate a reasonable bitmap size for the bloom filter, and is not
otherwise strictly enforced. If the user wishes to insert more entries
into the bloom filter than "max_entries", they may do so but they should
be aware that this may lead to a higher false positive rate.

After commit 9298e63eaf ("bpf/tests: Add exhaustive tests of ALU
operand magnitudes"), when modprobe test_bpf.ko with JIT on mips64,
there exists segment fault due to the following reason:
[...]
ALU64_MOV_X: all register value magnitudes jited:1
Break instruction in kernel code[#1]
[...]
It seems that the related JIT implementations of some test cases
in test_bpf() have problems. At this moment, I do not care about
the segment fault while I just want to verify the test cases of
tail calls.
Based on the above background and motivation, add the following
module parameter test_suite to the test_bpf.ko:
test_suite=<string>: only the specified test suite will be run, the
string can be "test_bpf", "test_tail_calls" or "test_skb_segment".
If test_suite is not specified, but test_id, test_name or test_range
is specified, set 'test_bpf' as the default test suite. This is useful
to only test the corresponding test suite when specifying the valid
test_suite string.
Any invalid test suite will result in -EINVAL being returned and no
tests being run. If the test_suite is not specified or specified as
empty string, it does not change the current logic, all of the test
cases will be run.
Here are some test results:

When a tracing BPF program attempts to read memory without using the
bpf_probe_read() helper, the verifier marks the load instruction with
the BPF_PROBE_MEM flag. Since the riscv JIT does not currently recognize
this flag it falls back to the interpreter.
Add support for BPF_PROBE_MEM, by appending an exception table to the
BPF program. If the load instruction causes a data abort, the fixup
infrastructure finds the exception table and fixes up the fault, by
clearing the destination register and jumping over the faulting
instruction.
A more generic solution would add a "handler" field to the table entry,
like on x86 and s390. The same issue in ARM64 is fixed in 8008342853
("bpf, arm64: Add BPF exception tables").

Add a flag to `enum libbpf_strict_mode' to disable the global
`bpf_objects_list', preventing race conditions when concurrent threads
call bpf_object__open() or bpf_object__close().
bpf_object__next() will return NULL if this option is set.
Callers may achieve the same workflow by tracking bpf_objects in
application code.

__BYTE_ORDER is supposed to be defined by a libc, and __BYTE_ORDER__ -
by a compiler. bpf_core_read.h checks __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN,
which is true if neither are defined, leading to incorrect behavior on
big-endian hosts if libc headers are not included, which is often the
case.

====================
Add libbpf APIs to access BPF program instructions. Both before and after
libbpf processing (before and after bpf_object__load()). This allows to
inspect what's going on with BPF program assembly instructions as libbpf
performs its processing magic.
But in more practical terms, this allows to do a no-brainer BPF program
cloning, which is something you need when working with fentry/fexit BPF
programs to be able to attach the same BPF program code to multiple kernel
functions. Currently, kernel needs multiple copies of BPF programs, each
loaded with its own target BTF ID. retsnoop is one such example that
previously had to rely on bpf_program__set_prep() API to hijack program
instructions ([0] for before and after).
Speaking of bpf_program__set_prep() API and the whole concept of
multiple-instance BPF programs in libbpf, all that is scheduled for
deprecation in v0.7. It doesn't work well, it's cumbersome, and it will become
more broken as libbpf adds more functionality. So deprecate and remove it in
libbpf 1.0. It doesn't seem to be used by anyone anyways (except for that
retsnoop hack, which is now much cleaner with new APIs as can be seen in [0]).

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().

====================
When listing BPF objects, bpftool can print a number of properties about
items holding references to these objects. For example, it can show pinned
paths for BPF programs, maps, and links; or programs and maps using a given
BTF object; or the names and PIDs of processes referencing BPF objects. To
collect this information, bpftool uses hash maps (to be clear: the data
structures, inside bpftool - we are not talking of BPF maps). It uses the
implementation available from the kernel, and picks it up from
tools/include/linux/hashtable.h.
This patchset converts bpftool's hash maps to a distinct implementation
instead, the one coming with libbpf. The main motivation for this change is
that it should ease the path towards a potential out-of-tree mirror for
bpftool, like the one libbpf already has. Although it's not perfect to
depend on libbpf's internal components, bpftool is intimately tied with the
library anyway, and this looks better than depending too much on (non-UAPI)
kernel headers.
The first two patches contain preparatory work on the Makefile and on the
initialisation of the hash maps for collecting pinned paths for objects.
Then the transition is split into several steps, one for each kind of
properties for which the collection is backed by hash maps.
v2:
- Move hashmap cleanup for pinned paths for links from do_detach() to
do_show().
- Handle errors on hashmap__append() (in three of the patches).
- Rename bpftool_hash_fn() and bpftool_equal_fn() as hash_fn_for_key_id()
and equal_fn_for_key_id(), respectively.
- Add curly braces for hashmap__for_each_key_entry() { } in
show_btf_plain() and show_btf_json(), where the flow was difficult to
read.

This is the third and final step of the transition, in which we convert

holding references to BPF objects (programs, maps, links, BTF), and at
last we drop the inclusion of tools/include/linux/hashtable.h.
Note: Checkpatch complains about the use of __weak declarations, and the
missing empty lines after the bunch of empty function declarations when
compiling without the BPF skeletons (none of these were introduced in
this patch). We want to keep things as they are, and the reports should
be safe to ignore.

In order to show pinned paths for BPF programs, maps, or links when
listing them with the "-f" option, bpftool creates hash maps to store
all relevant paths under the bpffs. So far, it would rely on the
kernel implementation (from tools/include/linux/hashtable.h).
We can make bpftool rely on libbpf's implementation instead. The
motivation is to make bpftool less dependent of kernel headers, to ease
the path to a potential out-of-tree mirror, like libbpf has.
This commit is the first step of the conversion: the hash maps for
pinned paths for programs, maps, and links are converted to libbpf's
hashmap.{c,h}. Other hash maps used for the PIDs of process holding
references to BPF objects are left unchanged for now. On the build side,
this requires adding a dependency to a second header internal to libbpf,
and making it a dependency for the bootstrap bpftool version as well.
The rest of the changes are a rather straightforward conversion.

BPF programs, maps, and links, can all be listed with their pinned paths
by bpftool, when the "-f" option is provided. To do so, bpftool builds
hash maps containing all pinned paths for each kind of objects.
These three hash maps are always initialised in main.c, and exposed
through main.h. There appear to be no particular reason to do so: we can
just as well make them static to the files that need them (prog.c,
map.c, and link.c respectively), and initialise them only when we want
to show objects and the "-f" switch is provided.
This may prevent unnecessary memory allocations if the implementation of
the hash maps was to change in the future.

The dependency is only useful to make sure that the $(LIBBPF_HDRS_DIR)
directory is created before we try to install locally the required
libbpf internal header. Let's create this directory properly instead.
This is in preparation of making $(LIBBPF_INTERNAL_HDRS) a dependency to

Reduce amount of waiting time when running test_progs in parallel mode (-j) by
splitting bpf_verif_scale selftests into multiple tests. Previously it was
structured as a test with multiple subtests, but subtests are not easily
parallelizable with test_progs' infra. Also in practice each scale subtest is
really an independent test with nothing shared across all substest.
This patch set changes how test_progs test discovery works. Now it is possible
to define multiple tests within a single source code file. One of the patches
also marks tc_redirect selftests as serial, because it's extremely harmful to

Instead of using subtests in bpf_verif_scale selftest, turn each scale
sub-test into its own test. Each subtest is compltely independent and
just reuses a bit of common test running logic, so the conversion is
trivial. For convenience, keep all of BPF verifier scale tests in one
file.
This conversion shaves off a significant amount of time when running
test_progs in parallel mode. E.g., just running scale tests (-t verif_scale):
