Given that vmlinux.h is not compatible with headers like stddef.h, NULL poses
an annoying problem: it is defined as #define, so is not captured in BTF, so
is not emitted into vmlinux.h. This leads to users either sticking to explicit
0, or defining their own NULL (as progs/skb_pkt_end.c does).
But it's easy for bpf_helpers.h to provide (conditionally) NULL definition.
Similarly, KERNEL_VERSION is another commonly missed macro that came up
multiple times. So this patch adds both of them, along with offsetof(), that
also is typically defined in stddef.h, just like NULL.
This might cause compilation warning for existing BPF applications defining
their own NULL and/or KERNEL_VERSION already:
progs/skb_pkt_end.c:7:9: warning: 'NULL' macro redefined [-Wmacro-redefined]
#define NULL 0
^
/tmp/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h:4:9: note: previous definition is here
#define NULL ((void *)0)
^
It is trivial to fix, though, so long-term benefits outweight temporary
inconveniences.

Linux headers might pull 'linux/stddef.h' which defines
'__always_inline' as the following:
#ifndef __always_inline
#define __always_inline inline
#endif
This becomes an issue if the program picks up the 'linux/stddef.h'
definition as the macro now just hints inline to clang.
This change now enforces the proper definition for BPF programs
regardless of the include order.

Yaniv reported a compilation error after pulling latest libbpf:
[...]
../libbpf/src/root/usr/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:99:10: error:
unknown register name 'r0' in asm
: "r0", "r1", "r2", "r3", "r4", "r5");
[...]
The issue got triggered given Yaniv was compiling tracing programs with native
target (e.g. x86) instead of BPF target, hence no BTF generated vmlinux.h nor
CO-RE used, and later llc with -march=bpf was invoked to compile from LLVM IR
to BPF object file. Given that clang was expecting x86 inline asm and not BPF
one the error complained that these regs don't exist on the former.
Guard bpf_tail_call_static() with defined(__bpf__) where BPF inline asm is valid
to use. BPF tracing programs on more modern kernels use BPF target anyway and
thus the bpf_tail_call_static() function will be available for them. BPF inline
asm is supported since clang 7 (clang <= 6 otherwise throws same above error),
and __bpf_unreachable() since clang 8, therefore include the latter condition
in order to prevent compilation errors for older clang versions. Given even an
old Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has official LLVM packages all the way up to llvm-10, I did
not bother to special case the __bpf_unreachable() inside bpf_tail_call_static()
further.
Also, undo the sockex3_kern's use of bpf_tail_call_static() sample given they
still have the old hacky way to even compile networking progs with native instead
of BPF target so bpf_tail_call_static() won't be defined there anymore.

Port of tail_call_static() helper function from Cilium's BPF code base [0]
to libbpf, so others can easily consume it as well. We've been using this
in production code for some time now. The main idea is that we guarantee
that the kernel's BPF infrastructure and JIT (here: x86_64) can patch the
JITed BPF insns with direct jumps instead of having to fall back to using
expensive retpolines. By using inline asm, we guarantee that the compiler
won't merge the call from different paths with potentially different
content of r2/r3.
We're also using Cilium's __throw_build_bug() macro (here as: __bpf_unreachable())
in different places as a neat trick to trigger compilation errors when
compiler does not remove code at compilation time. This works for the BPF
back end as it does not implement the __builtin_trap().

Commit 5fbc220862 ("tools/libpf: Add offsetof/container_of macro
in bpf_helpers.h") added a macro offsetof() to get the offset of a
structure member:
#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
In certain use cases, size_t type may not be available so
Commit da7a35062b ("libbpf bpf_helpers: Use __builtin_offsetof
for offsetof") changed to use __builtin_offsetof which removed
the dependency on type size_t, which I suggested.
But using __builtin_offsetof will prevent CO-RE relocation
generation in case that, e.g., TYPE is annotated with "preserve_access_info"
where a relocation is desirable in case the member offset is changed
in a different kernel version. So this patch reverted back to
the original macro but using "unsigned long" instead of "site_t".

The non-builtin route for offsetof has a dependency on size_t from
stdlib.h/stdint.h that is undeclared and may break targets.
The offsetof macro in bpf_helpers may disable the same macro in other
headers that have a #ifdef offsetof guard. Rather than add additional
dependencies improve the offsetof macro declared here to use the
builtin that is available since llvm 3.7 (the first with a BPF backend).

Add support for another (in addition to existing Kconfig) special kind of
externs in BPF code, kernel symbol externs. Such externs allow BPF code to
"know" kernel symbol address and either use it for comparisons with kernel
data structures (e.g., struct file's f_op pointer, to distinguish different
kinds of file), or, with the help of bpf_probe_user_kernel(), to follow
pointers and read data from global variables. Kernel symbol addresses are
found through /proc/kallsyms, which should be present in the system.
Currently, such kernel symbol variables are typeless: they have to be defined
as `extern const void <symbol>` and the only operation you can do (in C code)
with them is to take its address. Such extern should reside in a special
section '.ksyms'. bpf_helpers.h header provides __ksym macro for this. Strong
vs weak semantics stays the same as with Kconfig externs. If symbol is not
found in /proc/kallsyms, this will be a failure for strong (non-weak) extern,
but will be defaulted to 0 for weak externs.
If the same symbol is defined multiple times in /proc/kallsyms, then it will
be error if any of the associated addresses differs. In that case, address is
ambiguous, so libbpf falls on the side of caution, rather than confusing user
with randomly chosen address.
In the future, once kernel is extended with variables BTF information, such
ksym externs will be supported in a typed version, which will allow BPF
program to read variable's contents directly, similarly to how it's done for
fentry/fexit input arguments.

As discussed at LPC 2019 ([0]), this patch brings (a quite belated) support
for declarative BTF-defined map-in-map support in libbpf. It allows to define
ARRAY_OF_MAPS and HASH_OF_MAPS BPF maps without any user-space initialization
code involved.
Additionally, it allows to initialize outer map's slots with references to
respective inner maps at load time, also completely declaratively.
Despite a weak type system of C, the way BTF-defined map-in-map definition
works, it's actually quite hard to accidentally initialize outer map with
incompatible inner maps. This being C, of course, it's still possible, but
even that would be caught at load time and error returned with helpful debug
log pointing exactly to the slot that failed to be initialized.
As an example, here's a rather advanced HASH_OF_MAPS declaration and
initialization example, filling slots #0 and #4 with two inner maps:
#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
struct inner_map {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
__uint(max_entries, 1);
__type(key, int);
__type(value, int);
} inner_map1 SEC(".maps"),
inner_map2 SEC(".maps");
struct outer_hash {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS);
__uint(max_entries, 5);
__uint(key_size, sizeof(int));
__array(values, struct inner_map);
} outer_hash SEC(".maps") = {
.values = {
[0] = &inner_map2,
[4] = &inner_map1,
},
};
Here's the relevant part of libbpf debug log showing pretty clearly of what's
going on with map-in-map initialization:
libbpf: .maps relo #0: for 6 value 0 rel.r_offset 96 name 260 ('inner_map1')
libbpf: .maps relo #0: map 'outer_arr' slot [0] points to map 'inner_map1'
libbpf: .maps relo #1: for 7 value 32 rel.r_offset 112 name 249 ('inner_map2')
libbpf: .maps relo #1: map 'outer_arr' slot [2] points to map 'inner_map2'
libbpf: .maps relo #2: for 7 value 32 rel.r_offset 144 name 249 ('inner_map2')
libbpf: .maps relo #2: map 'outer_hash' slot [0] points to map 'inner_map2'
libbpf: .maps relo #3: for 6 value 0 rel.r_offset 176 name 260 ('inner_map1')
libbpf: .maps relo #3: map 'outer_hash' slot [4] points to map 'inner_map1'
libbpf: map 'inner_map1': created successfully, fd=4
libbpf: map 'inner_map2': created successfully, fd=5
libbpf: map 'outer_hash': created successfully, fd=7
libbpf: map 'outer_hash': slot [0] set to map 'inner_map2' fd=5
libbpf: map 'outer_hash': slot [4] set to map 'inner_map1' fd=4
Notice from the log above that fd=6 (not logged explicitly) is used for inner
"prototype" map, necessary for creation of outer map. It is destroyed
immediately after outer map is created.
See also included selftest with some extra comments explaining extra details
of usage. Additionally, similar initialization syntax and libbpf functionality
can be used to do initialization of BPF_PROG_ARRAY with references to BPF
sub-programs. This can be done in follow up patches, if there will be a demand
for this.

The following error was shown when a bpf program was compiled without
vmlinux.h auto-generated from BTF:
# clang -I./linux/tools/lib/ -I/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/ \

It seems that bpf programs are intended for being built together with
the vmlinux.h (which will have all the __u64 and other typedefs). But
users may mistakenly think "include <linux/types.h>" is missing
because the vmlinux.h is not common for non-bpf developers. IMO, an
explicit comment therefore should be added to bpf_helpers.h as this
patch shows.

Add support for extern variables, provided to BPF program by libbpf. Currently
the following extern variables are supported:
- LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION; version of a kernel in which BPF program is
executing, follows KERNEL_VERSION() macro convention, can be 4- and 8-byte
long;
- CONFIG_xxx values; a set of values of actual kernel config. Tristate,
boolean, strings, and integer values are supported.
Set of possible values is determined by declared type of extern variable.
Supported types of variables are:
- Tristate values. Are represented as `enum libbpf_tristate`. Accepted values
are **strictly** 'y', 'n', or 'm', which are represented as TRI_YES, TRI_NO,
or TRI_MODULE, respectively.
- Boolean values. Are represented as bool (_Bool) types. Accepted values are
'y' and 'n' only, turning into true/false values, respectively.
- Single-character values. Can be used both as a substritute for
bool/tristate, or as a small-range integer:
- 'y'/'n'/'m' are represented as is, as characters 'y', 'n', or 'm';
- integers in a range [-128, 127] or [0, 255] (depending on signedness of
char in target architecture) are recognized and represented with
respective values of char type.
- Strings. String values are declared as fixed-length char arrays. String of
up to that length will be accepted and put in first N bytes of char array,
with the rest of bytes zeroed out. If config string value is longer than
space alloted, it will be truncated and warning message emitted. Char array
is always zero terminated. String literals in config have to be enclosed in
double quotes, just like C-style string literals.
- Integers. 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integers are supported, both signed and
unsigned variants. Libbpf enforces parsed config value to be in the
supported range of corresponding integer type. Integers values in config can
be:
- decimal integers, with optional + and - signs;
- hexadecimal integers, prefixed with 0x or 0X;
- octal integers, starting with 0.
Config file itself is searched in /boot/config-$(uname -r) location with
fallback to /proc/config.gz, unless config path is specified explicitly
through bpf_object_open_opts' kernel_config_path option. Both gzipped and
plain text formats are supported. Libbpf adds explicit dependency on zlib
because of this, but this shouldn't be a problem, given libelf already depends
on zlib.
All detected extern variables, are put into a separate .extern internal map.
It, similarly to .rodata map, is marked as read-only from BPF program side, as
well as is frozen on load. This allows BPF verifier to track extern values as
constants and perform enhanced branch prediction and dead code elimination.
This can be relied upon for doing kernel version/feature detection and using
potentially unsupported field relocations or BPF helpers in a CO-RE-based BPF
program, while still having a single version of BPF program running on old and
new kernels. Selftests are validating this explicitly for unexisting BPF
helper.

For BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING, the bpf_prog's ctx is an array of u64.
This patch borrows the idea from BPF_CALL_x in filter.h to
convert a u64 to the arg type of the traced function.
The new BPF_TRACE_x has an arg to specify the return type of a bpf_prog.
It will be used in the future TCP-ops bpf_prog that may return "void".
The new macros are defined in the new header file "bpf_trace_helpers.h".
It is under selftests/bpf/ for now. It could be moved to libbpf later
after seeing more upcoming non-tracing use cases.
The tests are changed to use these new macros also. Hence,
the k[s]u8/16/32/64 are no longer needed and they are removed
from the bpf_helpers.h.

This adds support to libbpf for setting map pinning information as part of
the BTF map declaration, to get automatic map pinning (and reuse) on load.
The pinning type currently only supports a single PIN_BY_NAME mode, where
each map will be pinned by its name in a path that can be overridden, but
defaults to /sys/fs/bpf.
Since auto-pinning only does something if any maps actually have a
'pinning' BTF attribute set, we default the new option to enabled, on the
assumption that seamless pinning is what most callers want.
When a map has a pin_path set at load time, libbpf will compare the map
pinned at that location (if any), and if the attributes match, will re-use
that map instead of creating a new one. If no existing map is found, the
newly created map will instead be pinned at the location.
Programs wanting to customise the pinning can override the pinning paths
using bpf_map__set_pin_path() before calling bpf_object__load() (including
setting it to NULL to disable pinning of a particular map).
