<id>urn:sha1:f36600634282a519e1b0abea609acdc8731515d7</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove deprecated xsk APIs from libbpf. But given we have selftests
relying on this, move those files (with minimal adjustments to make them
compilable) under selftests/bpf.

We also remove all the removed APIs from libbpf.map, while overall
keeping version inheritance chain, as most APIs are backwards
compatible so there is no need to reassign them as LIBBPF_1.0.0 versions.

pull-request: bpf-next 2022-04-09

We've added 63 non-merge commits during the last 9 day(s) which contain
a total of 68 files changed, 4852 insertions(+), 619 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add libbpf support for USDT (User Statically-Defined Tracing) probes.
   USDTs are an abstraction built on top of uprobes, critical for tracing
   and BPF, and widely used in production applications, from Andrii Nakryiko.

2) While Andrii was adding support for x86{-64}-specific logic of parsing
   USDT argument specification, Ilya followed-up with USDT support for s390
   architecture, from Ilya Leoshkevich.

3) Support name-based attaching for uprobe BPF programs in libbpf. The format
   supported is `u[ret]probe/binary_path:[raw_offset|function[+offset]]`, e.g.
   attaching to libc malloc can be done in BPF via SEC("uprobe/libc.so.6:malloc")
   now, from Alan Maguire.

4) Various load/store optimizations for the arm64 JIT to shrink the image
   size by using arm64 str/ldr immediate instructions. Also enable pointer
   authentication to verify return address for JITed code, from Xu Kuohai.

5) BPF verifier fixes for write access checks to helper functions, e.g.
   rd-only memory from bpf_*_cpu_ptr() must not be passed to helpers that
   write into passed buffers, from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi.

6) Fix overly excessive stack map allocation for its base map structure and
   buckets which slipped-in from cleanups during the rlimit accounting removal
   back then, from Yuntao Wang.

7) Extend the unstable CT lookup helpers for XDP and tc/BPF to report netfilter
   connection tracking tuple direction, from Lorenzo Bianconi.

8) Improve bpftool dump to show BPF program/link type names, Milan Landaverde.

9) Minor cleanups all over the place from various others.

<title>libbpf: Add BPF-side of USDT support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d72e2968fb2583460062e15d53760d44e2d09ae6</id>
<content type='text'>
Add BPF-side implementation of libbpf-provided USDT support. This
consists of single header library, usdt.bpf.h, which is meant to be used
from user's BPF-side source code. This header is added to the list of
installed libbpf header, along bpf_helpers.h and others.

BPF-side implementation consists of two BPF maps:
  - spec map, which contains "a USDT spec" which encodes information
    necessary to be able to fetch USDT arguments and other information
    (argument count, user-provided cookie value, etc) at runtime;
  - IP-to-spec-ID map, which is only used on kernels that don't support
    BPF cookie feature. It allows to lookup spec ID based on the place
    in user application that triggers USDT program.

These maps have default sizes, 256 and 1024, which are chosen
conservatively to not waste a lot of space, but handling a lot of common
cases. But there could be cases when user application needs to either
trace a lot of different USDTs, or USDTs are heavily inlined and their
arguments are located in a lot of differing locations. For such cases it
might be necessary to size those maps up, which libbpf allows to do by
overriding BPF_USDT_MAX_SPEC_CNT and BPF_USDT_MAX_IP_CNT macros.

It is an important aspect to keep in mind. Single USDT (user-space
equivalent of kernel tracepoint) can have multiple USDT "call sites".
That is, single logical USDT is triggered from multiple places in user
application. This can happen due to function inlining. Each such inlined
instance of USDT invocation can have its own unique USDT argument
specification (instructions about the location of the value of each of
USDT arguments). So while USDT looks very similar to usual uprobe or
kernel tracepoint, under the hood it's actually a collection of uprobes,
each potentially needing different spec to know how to fetch arguments.

User-visible API consists of three helper functions:
  - bpf_usdt_arg_cnt(), which returns number of arguments of current USDT;
  - bpf_usdt_arg(), which reads value of specified USDT argument (by
    it's zero-indexed position) and returns it as 64-bit value;
  - bpf_usdt_cookie(), which functions like BPF cookie for USDT
    programs; this is necessary as libbpf doesn't allow specifying actual
    BPF cookie and utilizes it internally for USDT support implementation.

Each bpf_usdt_xxx() APIs expect struct pt_regs * context, passed into
BPF program. On kernels that don't support BPF cookie it is used to
fetch absolute IP address of the underlying uprobe.

usdt.bpf.h also provides BPF_USDT() macro, which functions like
BPF_PROG() and BPF_KPROBE() and allows much more user-friendly way to
get access to USDT arguments, if USDT definition is static and known to
the user. It is expected that majority of use cases won't have to use
bpf_usdt_arg_cnt() and bpf_usdt_arg() directly and BPF_USDT() will cover
all their needs.

Last, usdt.bpf.h is utilizing BPF CO-RE for one single purpose: to
detect kernel support for BPF cookie. If BPF CO-RE dependency is
undesirable, user application can redefine BPF_USDT_HAS_BPF_COOKIE to
either a boolean constant (or equivalently zero and non-zero), or even
point it to its own .rodata variable that can be specified from user's
application user-space code. It is important that
BPF_USDT_HAS_BPF_COOKIE is known to BPF verifier as static value (thus
.rodata and not just .data), as otherwise BPF code will still contain
bpf_get_attach_cookie() BPF helper call and will fail validation at
runtime, if not dead-code eliminated.

$(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>

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)

   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.

<content type='text'>
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.
