The main purpose of this API is to proactively release llvm/clang
.text memory which is brought in during compilation.
bcc .text memory for some other functions, e.g., attach_tracepoint,
bpf_prog_load, etc. can also be freed after all these tasks are done.

Note that such memory is reclaimable in kernel since it has
file backup. But certain applicaiton may want to reduce this
memory immediately to satisfy constraints imposed by sysadmin, etc.

The implementation uses madvise with MADV_DONTNEED.
For the case where bcc is static linked into the binary,
we do not really know the start and the end of memory regions
used by bcc, so the implementation here bluntly returned
all .text memory back to kernel. This will incur some performance
overhead as later on executed instructions will need to bring
back to memory again.

For static linked library, instrumented RandomRead example,
without this patch, the RSS memory before load is:
  VmRSS:     63644 kB
  RssAnon:           23876 kB
  RssFile:           39768 kB
  RssShmem:              0 kB

After this patch,
  VmRSS:     34264 kB
  RssAnon:           23880 kB
  RssFile:           10384 kB
  RssShmem:              0 kB

For shared library, a python unit test, test_free_llvm_memory.py, is
added, which shows for a do-nothing bpf program, we have
  Before freeing llvm memory: RssFile:  43000 kB
  After  freeing llvm memory: RssFile:  11992 kB

* Make dependency on LLVM native target optional

Adds an option ENABLE_LLVM_NATIVECODEGEN with default value ON.
If set to off the "nativecodegen" llvm will not be enabled, thus
reducing dependencies on needed libraries (reduced text size when
building with statically linked libraries).

Code that uses native target will not be compiled reducing text size.
Currently this affects the rw_engine which needs the native target.

BPF api "rw_engine_enabled" will have default value "true" if
ENABLE_LLVM_NATIVECODEGEN="ON" and "false" if
ENABLE_LLVM_NATIVECODEGEN="OFF"

Not needed for BCC to work. It somehow brought in the interpreter and
executionengine which is needed. Those features are added instead.

* Remove garbage in code making it compile again

* Remove interpreter and executionengine LLVM dependencies

These doesn't seem to be needed on a Ubuntu 18.04 system (although
executionengine is heavily used).

Interpreter was added due to runtime dependency on ARM64. It brings in
a dependency on ffi library.

Recent -next kernels don't have blk_start_request() function
anymore. It has been removed in a recent cleanup. bio* tools should be
able to handle the lack of this probe.

* Reduce instrumentation overhead with the sys_enter and sys_exit tracepoints

The ucalls script initially used kprobes and kretprobes on each of the
hundreds of syscalls functions in the system.  This approach causes a
large number of probes to be set up at the start and removed at the
conclusion of the script's execution resulting in slow start up.

Like the syscount.py script the ucall syscall instrumentation has been
modified to use the sys_enter and sys_exit tracepoints.  This only
requires the installation and removal of one or two tracepoints to
implement and results in much shorter times to start and stop the
ucalls script.

Another benefit of this change is syscalls on newer kernels will be
monitored with the "-S" option.  The regular expression used to find
the locations for the kprobes and kretprobes for all the possible
syscall functions would not would match the syscall function naming
convention in newer kernels.

* Update ucalls_examples.txt to match current "-S" option output

* Add required "import subprocess" and remove unneeded "global syscalls"

* Factor out the syscall_name code into a separate python module syscall.py

Multiple scripts are going to find the syscall_name() function useful
when using the syscall tracepoints.  Factoring out this code into a
separate python module avoids having to replicate this code in
multiple scripts.

* Use the syscall_name() function in syscount.py to make it more compact.

* Update the default syscall mappings and the way that they were generated

The default table was missing some newer syscall mapping. Regenerated
the table using the syscallent.h file from Fedora 30
strace-4.25-1.fc30.src.rpm.  Also updated the comment with the command
actually used to generate the mappings.

* Add license information and upsdate the syscalls

The default x86_64 syscall dictionary mapping syscalls numbers to
names has been updated. The following syscall x86_64 names have been
updated:

    18: b"pwrite64",
    60: b"exit",
    166: b"umount2",

The following syscall x86_64 have been added:

* Eliminate stderr output and use of shell features

Redirect all stderr output so it isn't seen.  Also avoid use of the
shell pipe and tail command.  Just strip off the first line in the
python code instead.

* Update lib/ucalls.py smoke test to required linux-4.7

The use of tracepoints in the ucalls.py requires linux-4.7. Changed
the test to only run with a suitable kernel.  The libs/ucalls.py
script is no longer inserting hundreds of kprobes and is much faster
as a result, so removed the timeout adjustment and the comment about
it being slow.

This reverts commit 5b76047f.

As the declaration of `exe_path` is `char exe_path[4096]`,

to static cast to `int` unless it's larger than 2^31 - 1.

Fix issue #2035.

For code like
    int i;
    int j = 0;
    const int last_index = payload_offset + 7;
    for (i = payload_offset ; i < last_index ; i++) {
               p[j] = load_byte(skb , i);

Here, the payload_offset is unknown. llvm 7.0 and trunk
compiler seems generating code like
   p[0] = load_byte(skb, payload_offset)
   if (payload_offset + 1 < last_index) {
      p[1] = ...
      ...
      p[6] = ...
   } else {
      /* do nothing */
   }
   /* accessing p[0], p[1], ..., p[6] */

The compiler did the above transformation because the potential
overflow for last_index and/or payload_offset + 1 in which case
compiler preserved both branches.

This caused a problem for verifier as in the else branch
p[1] is not assigned and the verifier will reject the program.

Changing the loop to simply iterate from 0 to 6 fixed the problem.

* Use correct entry point for uprobes on powerpc64

For powerpc64 (big endian), the address of a function is the
address of the corresponding function descriptor. While the
actual functions reside in the ".text" section, the function
descriptors are present in the ".opd" section. According to
the ABI, each descriptor is a tri-doubleword data structure
where the first doubleword is the actual entry point address.

The symbol table entries do not list actual entry points but
instead provide the location of the function descriptor. So,
when attaching a probe, the location should be changed to the
actual entry point by peeking into the function descriptor.

This has been verified as shown below.

  $ readelf -S /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so | grep -A1 ".opd"

The seventh column shows the index of the section to which the
symbols belong. This implies that all of these symbols are from
the ".opd" section.

The first doubleword in the descriptor of "inet_pton" gives the
actual entry point address i.e. 0x172b40. So, the probe must be
attached here and not 0x21d168.

* Use correct entry point for uprobes on powerpc64le

For powerpc64le, functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP)
and a Local Entry Point (LEP). When using the GEP, there
are some additional instructions at the beginning of the
function that setup the TOC pointer. However, for all local
calls, the TOC pointer is not required and a function can
be called into directly via the LEP.

While placing a uprobe, we should always prefer the LEP as
the probe location since this will be encountered for any
call through either the GEP or the LEP. Currently, the GEP
is used as the probe location and hence the corresponding
event is never triggered when the function is called via
it's LEP.

Information about the LEP can be obtained from the st_other
field of an Elf symbol. While this field typically provides
visibility information, the three most significant bits can
provide additional information about the offset of the Local
Entry Point (LEP) from the Global Entry Point (GEP) for any
symbol in case of powerpc64le.

This has been verified as shown below.
