Encountered the following failure building libbpf from kernel 5.8.5 sources
with GCC 8.4.0 and binutils 2.34: (long paths shortened)

  Warning: Num of global symbols in sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o (234) does NOT
  match with num of versioned symbols in libbpf.so (236). Please make sure
  all LIBBPF_API symbols are versioned in libbpf.map.

  make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kernel/COD/linux'

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.

Since dynamic symbols are used for dynamic linking it makes sense to
use them (readelf --dyn-syms) for abi check.

Found with some configuration on powerpc where linker puts
local *.plt_call.* symbols into .so.

bpf_helpers_doc.py script, used to generate bpf_helper_defs.h, unconditionally
emits one informational message to stderr. Remove it and preserve stderr to
contain only relevant errors. Also make sure script invocations command is

Libbpf's clean target should clean out generated files in $(OUTPUT) directory
and not make assumption that $(OUTPUT) directory is current working directory.

Selftest's Makefile should delegate cleaning of libbpf-generated files to
libbpf's Makefile. This ensures more robust clean up.

<content type='text'>
This fixes two issues with the newly introduced libbpf_common.h file:

- The header failed to include &lt;string.h&gt; for the definition of memset()
- The new file was not included in the install_headers rule in the Makefile

Both of these issues cause breakage when installing libbpf with 'make
install' and trying to use it in applications.

<title>libbpf: Support libbpf-provided extern variables</title>

<id>urn:sha1:166750bc1dd256b2184b22588fb9fe6d3fbb93ae</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
