Build selftests, bpftool, and libbpf in debug mode with DWARF data to
facilitate easier debugging.
In terms of impact on building and running selftests. Build is actually faster
now:
BEFORE: make -j60 380.21s user 37.87s system 1466% cpu 28.503 total
AFTER: make -j60 345.47s user 37.37s system 1599% cpu 23.939 total
test_progs runtime seems to be the same:
BEFORE:
real 1m5.139s
user 0m1.600s
sys 0m43.977s
AFTER:
real 1m3.799s
user 0m1.721s
sys 0m42.420s
Huge difference is being able to debug issues throughout test_progs, bpftool,
and libbpf without constantly updating 3 Makefiles by hand (including GDB
seeing the source code without any extra incantations).

Building selftests in a separate directory like this:
make O="$BUILD" -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf
and then running:
cd "$BUILD" && ./test_progs -t btf
causes all the non-flavored btf_dump_test_case_*.c tests to fail,
because these files are not copied to where test_progs expects to find
them.
Fix by not skipping EXT-COPY when the original $(OUTPUT) is not empty
(lib.mk sets it to $(shell pwd) in that case) and using rsync instead
of cp: cp fails because e.g. urandom_read is being copied into itself,
and rsync simply skips such cases. rsync is already used by kselftests
and therefore is not a new dependency.

Currently, the selftest for the BPF socket_cookie helpers is built and
run independently from test_progs. It's easy to forget and hard to
maintain.
This patch moves the socket cookies test into prog_tests/ and vastly
simplifies its logic by:
- rewriting the loading code with BPF skeletons
- rewriting the server/client code with network helpers
- rewriting the cgroup code with test__join_cgroup
- rewriting the error handling code with CHECKs

When dealing with BPF/BTF/pahole and DWARF v5 I wanted to build bpftool.
While looking into the source code I found duplicate assignments in misc tools
for the LLVM eco system, e.g. clang and llvm-objcopy.
Move the Clang, LLC and/or LLVM utils definitions to tools/scripts/Makefile.include
file and add missing includes where needed. Honestly, I was inspired by the commit
c8a950d0d3 ("tools: Factor HOSTCC, HOSTLD, HOSTAR definitions").
I tested with bpftool and perf on Debian/testing AMD64 and LLVM/Clang v11.1.0-rc1.
Build instructions:
[ make and make-options ]
MAKE="make V=1"
MAKE_OPTS="HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTLD=ld.lld CC=clang LD=ld.lld LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1"
MAKE_OPTS="$MAKE_OPTS PAHOLE=/opt/pahole/bin/pahole"
[ clean-up ]
$MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/ clean
[ bpftool ]
$MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/bpf/bpftool/
[ perf ]
PYTHON=python3 $MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/perf/
I was careful with respecting the user's wish to override custom compiler, linker,
GNU/binutils and/or LLVM utils settings.

The prog_test that's added depends on Clang/LLVM features added by
Yonghong in commit 286daafd6512 (was https://reviews.llvm.org/D72184).
Note the use of a define called ENABLE_ATOMICS_TESTS: this is used
to:
- Avoid breaking the build for people on old versions of Clang
- Avoid needing separate lists of test objects for no_alu32, where
atomics are not supported even if Clang has the feature.
The atomics_test.o BPF object is built unconditionally both for
test_progs and test_progs-no_alu32. For test_progs, if Clang supports
atomics, ENABLE_ATOMICS_TESTS is defined, so it includes the proper
test code. Otherwise, progs and global vars are defined anyway, as
stubs; this means that the skeleton user code still builds.
The atomics_test.o userspace object is built once and used for both
test_progs and test_progs-no_alu32. A variable called skip_tests is
defined in the BPF object's data section, which tells the userspace
object whether to skip the atomics test.

If Makefile cannot find any of the vmlinux's in its VMLINUX_BTF_PATHS list,
it tries to run btftool incorrectly, with VMLINUX_BTF unset:
bpftool btf dump file $(VMLINUX_BTF) format c
Such that the keyword 'format' is misinterpreted as the path to vmlinux.
The resulting build error message is fairly cryptic:
GEN vmlinux.h

LLC is meant for compiler development and debugging. Consequently, it
exposes many low level options about its backend. To avoid future bugs
introduced by using the raw LLC tool, use clang directly so that all
appropriate options are passed to the back end.
Additionally, simplify the Makefile by removing the
CLANG_NATIVE_BPF_BUILD_RULE as it is not being use, stop passing
dwarfris attr since elfutils/libdw now supports the bpf backend (which
should work with any recent pahole), and stop passing alu32 since

bpf_testmod.ko build rule declared dependency on VMLINUX_BTF, but the variable
itself was initialized after the rule was declared, which often caused
bpf_testmod.ko to not be re-compiled. Fix by moving VMLINUX_BTF determination
sooner.
Also enforce bpf_testmod.ko recompilation when we detect that vmlinux image
changed by removing bpf_testmod/bpf_testmod.ko. This is necessary to generate
correct module's split BTF. Without it, Kbuild's module build logic might
determine that nothing changed on the kernel side and thus bpf_testmod.ko
shouldn't be rebuilt, so won't re-generate module BTF, which often leads to
module's BTF with wrong string offsets against vmlinux BTF. Removing .ko file
forces Kbuild to re-build the module.

Since the setup script required by test_ima (ima_setup.sh) is not

Adding the script to TRUNNER_EXTRA_FILES ensures that the file is also

The selftests/bpf Makefile includes system include directories from
the host, when building BPF programs. On RISC-V glibc requires that
__riscv_xlen is defined. This is not the case for "clang -target bpf",
which messes up __WORDSIZE (errno.h -> ... -> wordsize.h) and breaks
the build.
By explicitly defining __risc_xlen correctly for riscv, we can
workaround this.

Recently a bug was missed due to the fact that test_tcpbpf_user is not a
part of test_progs. In order to prevent similar issues in the future move
the test functionality into test_progs. By doing this we can make certain
that it is a part of standard testing and will not be overlooked.
As a part of moving the functionality into test_progs it is necessary to
integrate with the test_progs framework and to drop any redundant code.
This patch:
1. Cleans up the include headers
2. Dropped a duplicate definition of bpf_find_map
3. Switched over to using test_progs specific cgroup functions
4. Renamed main to test_tcpbpf_user
5. Dropped return value in favor of CHECK_FAIL to check for errors
The general idea is that I wanted to keep the changes as small as possible
while moving the file into the test_progs framework. The follow-on patches
are meant to clean up the remaining issues such as the use of CHECK_FAIL.

Merge 183 tests from test_btf into test_progs framework to be exercised
regularly. All the test_btf tests that were moved are modeled as proper
sub-tests in test_progs framework for ease of debugging and reporting.
No functional or behavioral changes were intended, I tried to preserve
original behavior as much as possible. E.g., `test_progs -v` will activate
"always_log" flag to emit BTF validation log.
The only difference is in reducing the max_entries limit for pretty-printing
tests from (128 * 1024) to just 128 to reduce tests running time without
reducing the coverage.
Example test run:
$ sudo ./test_progs -n 8

This is a simple test to check that loading and dumping metadata
in btftool works, whether or not metadata contents are used by the
program.
A C test is also added to make sure the skeleton code can read the
metadata values.

eBPF selftests include a script to check that bpftool builds correctly
with different command lines. Let's add one build for bpftool's
documentation so as to detect errors or warning reported by rst2man when
compiling the man pages. Also add a build to the selftests Makefile to
make sure we build bpftool documentation along with bpftool when
building the selftests.
This also builds and checks warnings for the man page for eBPF helpers,
which is built along bpftool's documentation.
This change adds rst2man as a dependency for selftests (it comes with
Python's "docutils").
v2:
- Use "--exit-status=1" option for rst2man instead of counting lines
from stderr.
- Also build bpftool as part as the selftests build (and not only when
the tests are actually run).

99aacebecb ("selftests: do not use .ONESHELL") removed .ONESHELL, which
changes how Makefile "silences" multi-command target recipes. selftests/bpf's
Makefile relied (a somewhat unknowingly) on .ONESHELL behavior of silencing
all commands within the recipe if the first command contains @ symbol.
Removing .ONESHELL exposed this hack.
This patch fixes the issue by explicitly silencing each command with $(Q).
Also explicitly define fallback rule for building *.o from *.c, instead of
relying on non-silent inherited rule. This was causing a non-silent output for
bench.o object file.

runqslower's Makefile is building/installing bpftool into
$(OUTPUT)/sbin/bpftool, which coincides with $(DEFAULT_BPFTOOL). In practice
this means that often when building selftests from scratch (after `make
clean`), selftests are racing with runqslower to simultaneously build bpftool
and one of the two processes fail due to file being busy. Prevent this race by
explicitly order-depending on $(BPFTOOL_DEFAULT).

Adding resolve_btfids test under test_progs suite.
It's possible to use btf_ids.h header and its logic in
user space application, so we can add easy test for it.
The test defines BTF_ID_LIST and checks it gets properly
resolved.
For this reason the test_progs binary (and other binaries
that use TRUNNER* macros) is processed with resolve_btfids
tool, which resolves BTF IDs in .BTF_ids section. The BTF
data are taken from btf_data.o object rceated from

Extend bench framework with ability to have benchmark-provided child argument
parser for custom benchmark-specific parameters. This makes bench generic code
modular and independent from any specific benchmark.
Also implement a set of benchmarks for new BPF ring buffer and existing perf
buffer. 4 benchmarks were implemented: 2 variations for each of BPF ringbuf
and perfbuf:,
- rb-libbpf utilizes stock libbpf ring_buffer manager for reading data;
- rb-custom implements custom ring buffer setup and reading code, to
eliminate overheads inherent in generic libbpf code due to callback
functions and the need to update consumer position after each consumed
record, instead of batching updates (due to pessimistic assumption that
user callback might take long time and thus could unnecessarily hold ring
buffer space for too long);
- pb-libbpf uses stock libbpf perf_buffer code with all the default
settings, though uses higher-performance raw event callback to minimize
unnecessary overhead;
- pb-custom implements its own custom consumer code to minimize any possible
overhead of generic libbpf implementation and indirect function calls.
All of the test support default, no data notification skipped, mode, as well
as sampled mode (with --rb-sampled flag), which allows to trigger epoll
notification less frequently and reduce overhead. As will be shown, this mode
is especially critical for perf buffer, which suffers from high overhead of
wakeups in kernel.
Otherwise, all benchamrks implement similar way to generate a batch of records
by using fentry/sys_getpgid BPF program, which pushes a bunch of records in
a tight loop and records number of successful and dropped samples. Each record
is a small 8-byte integer, to minimize the effect of memory copying with
bpf_perf_event_output() and bpf_ringbuf_output().
Benchmarks that have only one producer implement optional back-to-back mode,
in which record production and consumption is alternating on the same CPU.
This is the highest-throughput happy case, showing ultimate performance
achievable with either BPF ringbuf or perfbuf.
All the below scenarios are implemented in a script in
benchs/run_bench_ringbufs.sh. Tests were performed on 28-core/56-thread
Intel Xeon CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz CPU.
Single-producer, parallel producer
==================================
rb-libbpf 12.054 ± 0.320M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom 8.158 ± 0.118M/s (drops 0.001 ± 0.003M/s)
pb-libbpf 0.931 ± 0.007M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 0.965 ± 0.003M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Single-producer, parallel producer, sampled notification
========================================================
rb-libbpf 11.563 ± 0.067M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom 15.895 ± 0.076M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-libbpf 9.889 ± 0.032M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 9.866 ± 0.028M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Single producer on one CPU, consumer on another one, both running at full
speed. Curiously, rb-libbpf has higher throughput than objectively faster (due
to more lightweight consumer code path) rb-custom. It appears that faster
consumer causes kernel to send notifications more frequently, because consumer
appears to be caught up more frequently. Performance of perfbuf suffers from
default "no sampling" policy and huge overhead that causes.
In sampled mode, rb-custom is winning very significantly eliminating too
frequent in-kernel wakeups, the gain appears to be more than 2x.
Perf buffer achieves even more impressive wins, compared to stock perfbuf
settings, with 10x improvements in throughput with 1:500 sampling rate. The
trade-off is that with sampling, application might not get next X events until
X+1st arrives, which is not always acceptable. With steady influx of events,
though, this shouldn't be a problem.
Overall, single-producer performance of ring buffers seems to be better no
matter the sampled/non-sampled modes, but it especially beats ring buffer
without sampling due to its adaptive notification approach.
Single-producer, back-to-back mode
==================================
rb-libbpf 15.507 ± 0.247M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-libbpf-sampled 14.692 ± 0.195M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom 21.449 ± 0.157M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom-sampled 20.024 ± 0.386M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-libbpf 1.601 ± 0.015M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-libbpf-sampled 8.545 ± 0.064M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 1.607 ± 0.022M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom-sampled 8.988 ± 0.144M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Here we test a back-to-back mode, which is arguably best-case scenario both
for BPF ringbuf and perfbuf, because there is no contention and for ringbuf
also no excessive notification, because consumer appears to be behind after
the first record. For ringbuf, custom consumer code clearly wins with 21.5 vs
16 million records per second exchanged between producer and consumer. Sampled
mode actually hurts a bit due to slightly slower producer logic (it needs to
fetch amount of data available to decide whether to skip or force notification).
Perfbuf with wakeup sampling gets 5.5x throughput increase, compared to
no-sampling version. There also doesn't seem to be noticeable overhead from
generic libbpf handling code.
Perfbuf back-to-back, effect of sample rate
===========================================
pb-sampled-1 1.035 ± 0.012M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-5 3.476 ± 0.087M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-10 5.094 ± 0.136M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-25 7.118 ± 0.153M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-50 8.169 ± 0.156M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-100 8.887 ± 0.136M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-250 9.180 ± 0.209M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-500 9.353 ± 0.281M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-1000 9.411 ± 0.217M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-2000 9.464 ± 0.167M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-3000 9.575 ± 0.273M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
This benchmark shows the effect of event sampling for perfbuf. Back-to-back
mode for highest throughput. Just doing every 5th record notification gives
3.5x speed up. 250-500 appears to be the point of diminishing return, with
almost 9x speed up. Most benchmarks use 500 as the default sampling for pb-raw
and pb-custom.
Ringbuf back-to-back, effect of sample rate
===========================================
rb-sampled-1 1.106 ± 0.010M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-5 4.746 ± 0.149M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-10 7.706 ± 0.164M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-25 12.893 ± 0.273M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-50 15.961 ± 0.361M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-100 18.203 ± 0.445M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-250 19.962 ± 0.786M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-500 20.881 ± 0.551M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-1000 21.317 ± 0.532M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-2000 21.331 ± 0.535M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-3000 21.688 ± 0.392M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Similar benchmark for ring buffer also shows a great advantage (in terms of
throughput) of skipping notifications. Skipping every 5th one gives 4x boost.
Also similar to perfbuf case, 250-500 seems to be the point of diminishing
returns, giving roughly 20x better results.
Keep in mind, for this test, notifications are controlled manually with
BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP and BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP. As can be seen from previous
benchmarks, adaptive notifications based on consumer's positions provides same
(or even slightly better due to simpler load generator on BPF side) benefits in
favorable back-to-back scenario. Over zealous and fast consumer, which is
almost always caught up, will make thoughput numbers smaller. That's the case
when manual notification control might prove to be extremely beneficial.
Ringbuf back-to-back, reserve+commit vs output
==============================================
reserve 22.819 ± 0.503M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
output 18.906 ± 0.433M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Ringbuf sampled, reserve+commit vs output
=========================================
reserve-sampled 15.350 ± 0.132M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
output-sampled 14.195 ± 0.144M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
BPF ringbuf supports two sets of APIs with various usability and performance
tradeoffs: bpf_ringbuf_reserve()+bpf_ringbuf_commit() vs bpf_ringbuf_output().
This benchmark clearly shows superiority of reserve+commit approach, despite
using a small 8-byte record size.
Single-producer, consumer/producer competing on the same CPU, low batch count
=============================================================================
rb-libbpf 3.045 ± 0.020M/s (drops 3.536 ± 0.148M/s)
rb-custom 3.055 ± 0.022M/s (drops 3.893 ± 0.066M/s)
pb-libbpf 1.393 ± 0.024M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 1.407 ± 0.016M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
This benchmark shows one of the worst-case scenarios, in which producer and
consumer do not coordinate *and* fight for the same CPU. No batch count and
sampling settings were able to eliminate drops for ringbuffer, producer is
just too fast for consumer to keep up. But ringbuf and perfbuf still able to
pass through quite a lot of messages, which is more than enough for a lot of
applications.
Ringbuf, multi-producer contention
==================================
rb-libbpf nr_prod 1 10.916 ± 0.399M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-libbpf nr_prod 2 4.931 ± 0.030M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-libbpf nr_prod 3 4.880 ± 0.006M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)

rb-libbpf nr_prod 52 2.074 ± 0.024M/s (drops 0.007 ± 0.014M/s)
Ringbuf uses a very short-duration spinlock during reservation phase, to check
few invariants, increment producer count and set record header. This is the
biggest point of contention for ringbuf implementation. This benchmark
evaluates the effect of multiple competing writers on overall throughput of
a single shared ringbuffer.
Overall throughput drops almost 2x when going from single to two
highly-contended producers, gradually dropping with additional competing
producers. Performance drop stabilizes at around 20 producers and hovers
around 2mln even with 50+ fighting producers, which is a 5x drop compared to
non-contended case. Good kernel implementation in kernel helps maintain decent
performance here.
Note, that in the intended real-world scenarios, it's not expected to get even
close to such a high levels of contention. But if contention will become
a problem, there is always an option of sharding few ring buffers across a set
of CPUs.

It is sometimes desirable to be able to trigger BPF program from user-space
with minimal overhead. sys_enter would seem to be a good candidate, yet in
a lot of cases there will be a lot of noise from syscalls triggered by other
processes on the system. So while searching for low-overhead alternative, I've
stumbled upon getpgid() syscall, which seems to be specific enough to not
suffer from accidental syscall by other apps.
This set of benchmarks compares tp, raw_tp w/ filtering by syscall ID, kprobe,
fentry and fmod_ret with returning error (so that syscall would not be
executed), to determine the lowest-overhead way. Here are results on my
machine (using benchs/run_bench_trigger.sh script):
base : 9.200 ± 0.319M/s
tp : 6.690 ± 0.125M/s
rawtp : 8.571 ± 0.214M/s
kprobe : 6.431 ± 0.048M/s
fentry : 8.955 ± 0.241M/s
fmodret : 8.903 ± 0.135M/s
So it seems like fmodret doesn't give much benefit for such lightweight
syscall. Raw tracepoint is pretty decent despite additional filtering logic,
but it will be called for any other syscall in the system, which rules it out.
Fentry, though, seems to be adding the least amoung of overhead and achieves
97.3% of performance of baseline no-BPF-attached syscall.
Using getpgid() seems to be preferable to set_task_comm() approach from
test_overhead, as it's about 2.35x faster in a baseline performance.

Add fmod_ret BPF program to existing test_overhead selftest. Also re-implement
user-space benchmarking part into benchmark runner to compare results. Results
with ./bench are consistently somewhat lower than test_overhead's, but relative
performance of various types of BPF programs stay consisten (e.g., kretprobe is
noticeably slower). This slowdown seems to be coming from the fact that
test_overhead is single-threaded, while benchmark always spins off at least
one thread for producer. This has been confirmed by hacking multi-threaded
test_overhead variant and also single-threaded bench variant. Resutls are
below. run_bench_rename.sh script from benchs/ subdirectory was used to
produce results for ./bench.

Note that the fact that ./bench benchmark always uses atomic increments for
counting, while test_overhead doesn't, doesn't influence test results all that
much.

While working on BPF ringbuf implementation, testing, and benchmarking, I've
developed a pretty generic and modular benchmark runner, which seems to be
generically useful, as I've already used it for one more purpose (testing
fastest way to trigger BPF program, to minimize overhead of in-kernel code).
This patch adds generic part of benchmark runner and sets up Makefile for
extending it with more sets of benchmarks.
Benchmarker itself operates by spinning up specified number of producer and
consumer threads, setting up interval timer sending SIGALARM signal to
application once a second. Every second, current snapshot with hits/drops
counters are collected and stored in an array. Drops are useful for
producer/consumer benchmarks in which producer might overwhelm consumers.
Once test finishes after given amount of warm-up and testing seconds, mean and
stddev are calculated (ignoring warm-up results) and is printed out to stdout.
This setup seems to give consistent and accurate results.
To validate behavior, I added two atomic counting tests: global and local.
For global one, all the producer threads are atomically incrementing same
counter as fast as possible. This, of course, leads to huge drop of
performance once there is more than one producer thread due to CPUs fighting
for the same memory location.
Local counting, on the other hand, maintains one counter per each producer
thread, incremented independently. Once per second, all counters are read and
added together to form final "counting throughput" measurement. As expected,
such setup demonstrates linear scalability with number of producers (as long
as there are enough physical CPU cores, of course). See example output below.
Also, this setup can nicely demonstrate disastrous effects of false sharing,
if care is not taken to take those per-producer counters apart into
independent cache lines.
Demo output shows global counter first with 1 producer, then with 4. Both
total and per-producer performance significantly drop. The last run is local
counter with 4 producers, demonstrating near-perfect scalability.

Benchmark runner supports setting thread affinity for producer and consumer
threads. You can use -a flag for default CPU selection scheme, where first
consumer gets CPU #0, next one gets CPU #1, and so on. Then producer threads
pick up next CPU and increment one-by-one as well. But user can also specify
a set of CPUs independently for producers and consumers with --prod-affinity
1,2-10,15 and --cons-affinity <set-of-cpus>. The latter allows to force
producers and consumers to share same set of CPUs, if necessary.

Before commit 74b5a5968f ("selftests/bpf: Replace test_progs and
test_maps w/ general rule") selftests/bpf used generic install
target from selftests/lib.mk to install generated bpf test progs
by mentioning them in TEST_GEN_FILES variable.
Take that functionality back.

Move the following routines that let us start a background listener
thread and connect to a server by fd to the test_prog:
* start_server - socket+bind+listen
* connect_to_fd - connect to the server identified by fd
These will be used in the next commit.
Also, extend these helpers to support AF_INET6 and accept the family
as an argument.
v5:
* drop pthread.h (Martin KaFai Lau)
* add SO_SNDTIMEO (Martin KaFai Lau)
v4:
* export extra helper to start server without a thread (Martin KaFai Lau)
* tcp_rtt is no longer starting background thread (Martin KaFai Lau)
v2:
* put helpers into network_helpers.c (Andrii Nakryiko)

Add ability to specify extra compiler flags with SAN_CFLAGS for compilation of
all user-space C files. This allows to build all of selftest programs with,
e.g., custom sanitizer flags, without requiring support for such sanitizers
from anyone compiling selftest/bpf.
As an example, to compile everything with AddressSanitizer, one would do:
$ make clean && make SAN_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address"
For AddressSanitizer to work, one needs appropriate libasan shared library
installed in the system, with version of libasan matching what GCC links
against. E.g., GCC8 needs libasan5, while GCC7 uses libasan4.
For CentOS 7, to build everything successfully one would need to:
$ sudo yum install devtoolset-8-gcc devtoolset-libasan-devel
$ scl enable devtoolset-8 bash # set up environment
For Arch Linux to run selftests, one would need to install gcc-libs package to
get libasan.so.5:
$ sudo pacman -S gcc-libs
N.B. EXTRA_CFLAGS name wasn't used, because it's also used by libbpf's
Makefile and this causes few issues:
1. default "-g -Wall" flags are overriden;
2. compiling shared library with AddressSanitizer generates a bunch of symbols
like: "_GLOBAL__sub_D_00099_0_btf_dump.c", "_GLOBAL__sub_D_00099_0_bpf.c",
etc, which screws up versioned symbols check.

Ensure that test runner flavors include their own skeletons from <flavor>/
directory. Previously, skeletons generated for no-flavor test_progs were used.
Apart from fixing correctness, this also makes it possible to compile only
flavors individually:
$ make clean && make test_progs-no_alu32
... now succeeds ...
