$(or ...) is available since GNU Make 3.81, and useful to shorten the
code in some places.

Covert as follows:

  $(if A,A,B)  --&gt;  $(or A,B)

This patch also converts:

  $(if A, A, B) --&gt; $(or A, B)

Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because
GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B)
expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A".

Anyway, preceding spaces are not significant in the code hunks I touched.

<title>libbpf: Fix build issue with llvm-readelf</title>

<content type='text'>
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

     ...
  $ /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.

Cross-building using clang requires passing the "-target" flag rather
than using the CROSS_COMPILE prefix. Makefile.include transforms
CROSS_COMPILE into CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS. Add them to the CFLAGS.

<title>libbpf: Remove Makefile warnings on out-of-sync netlink.h/if_link.h</title>

Although relying on some definitions from the netlink.h and if_link.h
headers copied into tools/include/uapi/linux/, libbpf does not need
those headers to stay entirely up-to-date with their original versions,
and the warnings emitted by the Makefile when it detects a difference
are usually just noise. Let's remove those warnings.

<title>libbpf: Skip re-installing headers file if source is older than target</title>

<content type='text'>
The "install_headers" target in libbpf's Makefile would unconditionally
export all API headers to the target directory. When those headers are
installed to compile another application, this means that make always
finds newer dependencies for the source files relying on those headers,
and deduces that the targets should be rebuilt.

Avoid that by making "install_headers" depend on the source header
files, and (re-)install them only when necessary.

<title>bpf: Use $(pound) instead of \# in Makefiles</title>

<id>urn:sha1:929bef467771d4d5a22b9edb51a2025dc0e49113</id>
<content type='text'>
Recent-ish versions of make do no longer consider number signs ("#") as
comment symbols when they are inserted inside of a macro reference or in
a function invocation. In such cases, the symbols should not be escaped.

There are a few occurrences of "\#" in libbpf's and samples' Makefiles.
In the former, the backslash is harmless, because grep associates no
particular meaning to the escaped symbol and reads it as a regular "#".
In samples' Makefile, recent versions of make will pass the backslash
down to the compiler, making the probe fail all the time and resulting
in the display of a warning about "make headers_install" being required,
even after headers have been installed.

A similar issue has been addressed at some other locations by commit
9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make").
Let's address it for libbpf's and samples' Makefiles in the same
fashion, by using a "$(pound)" variable (pulled from
tools/scripts/Makefile.include for libbpf, or re-defined for the
samples).

Turn previously auto-generated libbpf_version.h header into a normal
header file. This prevents various tricky Makefile integration issues,
simplifies the overall build process, but also allows to further extend
it with some more versioning-related APIs in the future.

To prevent accidental out-of-sync versions as defined by libbpf.map and
libbpf_version.h, Makefile checks their consistency at build time.

Simultaneously with this change bump libbpf.map to v0.6.

Also undo adding libbpf's output directory into include path for
kernel/bpf/preload, bpftool, and resolve_btfids, which is not necessary
because libbpf_version.h is just a normal header like any other.

<id>urn:sha1:0b46b755056043dccfe078b96b256502b88f2464</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.

As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
(LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.

Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to
include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths.
Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API
headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build
changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified
explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No
problems were detected.

Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
for now).

Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).
