[ Upstream commit 0908a66ad1124c1634c33847ac662106f7f2c198 ]

There are cases where clang compiler is packaged in a way
readelf is a symbolic link to llvm-readelf. In such cases,
llvm-readelf will be used instead of default binutils readelf,
and the following error will appear during libbpf build:

#  Warning: Num of global symbols in
#   /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/libbpf/sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o (367)
#   does NOT match with num of versioned symbols in
#   /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/libbpf/libbpf.so libbpf.map (383).
#   Please make sure all LIBBPF_API symbols are versioned in libbpf.map.

The above failure is due to different printouts for some ABS
versioned symbols. For example, with the same libbpf.so,
  $ /bin/readelf --dyn-syms --wide tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.so | grep "LIBBPF" | grep ABS
     134: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS LIBBPF_0.5.0
     202: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS LIBBPF_0.6.0
     ...
  $ /opt/llvm/bin/readelf --dyn-syms --wide tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.so | grep "LIBBPF" | grep ABS
     134: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   ABS LIBBPF_0.5.0@@LIBBPF_0.5.0
     202: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   ABS LIBBPF_0.6.0@@LIBBPF_0.6.0
     ...
The binutils readelf doesn't print out the symbol LIBBPF_* version and llvm-readelf does.
Such a difference caused libbpf build failure with llvm-readelf.

The proposed fix filters out all ABS symbols as they are not part of the comparison.
This works for both binutils readelf and llvm-readelf.

[ Upstream commit 61c7aa5020e98ac2fdcf07d07eec1baf2e9f0a08 ]

Ensure libbpf.so is re-built whenever libbpf.map is modified.  Without this,
changes to libbpf.map are not detected and versioned symbols mismatch error
will be reported until `make clean &amp;&amp; make` is used, which is a suboptimal
developer experience.

on MacOS. Move -m to the front to fix this issue.

We remove "other info" from "readelf -s --wide" output when
parsing GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT variable, which was added in [1].
But we don't do that for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT and it's failing
the check_abi target on powerpc Fedora 33.

The extra "other info" wasn't problem for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT
parsing until commit [2] added awk in the pipe, which assumes
that the last column is symbol, but it can be "other info".

Adding "other info" removal for VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT the same
way as we did for GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT parsing.

Libbpf compiles .o's for static and shared library modes separately, so no
need to specify -fPIC for both. Keep it only for shared library mode.

For some reason compiler doesn't complain about uninitialized variable, fixed
in previous patch, if libbpf is compiled without -O2 optimization level. So do
compile it with -O2 and never let similar issue slip by again. -Wall is added
unconditionally, so no need to specify it again.

Two minor conflicts:

1) net/ipv4/route.c, adding a new local variable while
   moving another local variable and removing it's
   initial assignment.

2) drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz9477.c, overlapping changes.
   One pretty prints the port mode differently, whilst another
   changes the driver to try and obtain the port mode from
   the port node rather than the switch node.

resolve_btfids needs to be build as a host binary and it needs libbpf.
However, libbpf Makefile hardcodes an include path utilizing $(ARCH).
This results in mixing of cross-architecture headers resulting in a
build failure.

The specific header include path doesn't seem necessary for a libbpf
build. Hence, remove the same.

The system for "Auto-detecting system features" located under
tools/build/ are (currently) used by perf, libbpf and bpftool. It can
contain stalled feature detection files, which are not cleaned up by
libbpf and bpftool on make clean (side-note: perf tool is correct).

Fix this by making the users invoke the make clean target.

Some details about the changes. The libbpf Makefile already had a
clean-config target (which seems to be copy-pasted from perf), but this
target was not "connected" (a make dependency) to clean target. Choose
not to rename target as someone might be using it. Did change the output
from "CLEAN config" to "CLEAN feature-detect", to make it more clear
what happens.

This is related to the complaint and troubleshooting in the following
