Libbpf is trying to recognize BPF program type based on its section name
during bpf_object__open() phase. This is not strictly enforced and user code
has ability to specify/override correct BPF program type after open.  But if
BPF program is using custom section name, libbpf will still emit warnings,
which can be quite annoying to users. This patch reduces log level of
information messages emitted by libbpf if section name is not canonical. User
can still get a list of all supported section names as debug-level message.

Probably the single most common error newcomers to XDP are stumped by is
the 'permission denied' error they get when trying to load their program
and 'ulimit -l' is set too low. For examples, see [0], [1].

Since the error code is UAPI, we can't change that. Instead, this patch
adds a few heuristics in libbpf and outputs an additional hint if they are
met: If an EPERM is returned on map create or program load, and geteuid()
shows we are root, and the current RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is not infinity, we
output a hint about raising 'ulimit -l' as an additional log line.

When attaching XDP programs, userspace can set flags to request the attach
mode (generic/SKB mode, driver mode or hw offloaded mode). If no such flags
are requested, the kernel will attempt to attach in driver mode, and then
silently fall back to SKB mode if this fails.

The silent fallback is a major source of user confusion, as users will try
to load a program on a device without XDP support, and instead of an error
they will get the silent fallback behaviour, not notice, and then wonder
why performance is not what they were expecting.

In an attempt to combat this, let's switch all the samples to default to
explicitly requesting driver-mode attach. As part of this, ensure that all
the userspace utilities have a switch to enable SKB mode. For those that
have a switch to request driver mode, keep it but turn it into a no-op.

The symptom of this is compile errors like the following:

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================
It's often important for BPF program to know kernel version or some specific
config values (e.g., CONFIG_HZ to convert jiffies to seconds) and change or
adjust program logic based on their values. As of today, any such need has to
be resolved by recompiling BPF program for specific kernel and kernel
configuration. In practice this is usually achieved by using BCC and its
embedded LLVM/Clang. With such set up #ifdef CONFIG_XXX and similar
compile-time constructs allow to deal with kernel varieties.

With CO-RE (Compile Once – Run Everywhere) approach, this is not an option,
unfortunately. All such logic variations have to be done as a normal
C language constructs (i.e., if/else, variables, etc), not a preprocessor
directives. This patch series add support for such advanced scenarios through
C extern variables. These extern variables will be recognized by libbpf and
supplied through extra .extern internal map, similarly to global data. This
.extern map is read-only, which allows BPF verifier to track its content
precisely as constants. That gives an opportunity to have pre-compiled BPF
program, which can potentially use BPF functionality (e.g., BPF helpers) or
kernel features (types, fields, etc), that are available only on a subset of
targeted kernels, while effectively eleminating (through verifier's dead code
detection) such unsupported functionality for other kernels (typically, older
versions). Patch #3 explicitly tests a scenario of using unsupported BPF
helper, to validate the approach.

This patch set heavily relies on BTF type information emitted by compiler for
each extern variable declaration. Based on specific types, libbpf does strict
checks of config data values correctness. See patch #1 for details.

Outline of the patch set:
- patch #1 does a small clean up of internal map names contants;
- patch #2 adds all of the libbpf internal machinery for externs support,
  including setting up BTF information for .extern data section;
- patch #3 adds support for .extern into BPF skeleton;
- patch #4 adds externs selftests, as well as enhances test_skeleton.c test to
  validate mmap()-ed .extern datasection functionality.

- clean up copyrights and rebase onto latest skeleton patches (Alexei);

v2->v3:
- truncate too long strings (Alexei);
- clean ups, adding comments (Alexei);

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.

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================
This patch set introduces an alternative and complimentary to existing libbpf
API interface for working with BPF objects, maps, programs, and global data
from userspace side. This approach is relying on code generation. bpftool
produces a struct (a.k.a. skeleton) tailored and specific to provided BPF
object file. It includes hard-coded fields and data structures for every map,
program, link, and global data present.

Altogether this approach significantly reduces amount of userspace boilerplate
code required to open, load, attach, and work with BPF objects. It improves
attach/detach story, by providing pre-allocated space for bpf_links, and
ensuring they are properly detached on shutdown. It allows to do away with by
name/title lookups of maps and programs, because libbpf's skeleton API, in
conjunction with generated code from bpftool, is filling in hard-coded fields
with actual pointers to corresponding struct bpf_map/bpf_program/bpf_link.

Also, thanks to BPF array mmap() support, working with global data (variables)
from userspace is now as natural as it is from BPF side: each variable is just
a struct field inside skeleton struct. Furthermore, this allows to have
a natural way for userspace to pre-initialize global data (including
previously impossible to initialize .rodata) by just assigning values to the
same per-variable fields. Libbpf will carefully take into account this
initialization image, will use it to pre-populate BPF maps at creation time,
and will re-mmap() BPF map's contents at exactly the same userspace memory
address such that it can continue working with all the same pointers without
any interruptions. If kernel doesn't support mmap(), global data will still be
successfully initialized, but after map creation global data structures inside
skeleton will be NULL-ed out. This allows userspace application to gracefully
handle lack of mmap() support, if necessary.

A bunch of selftests are also converted to using skeletons, demonstrating
significant simplification of userspace part of test and reduction in amount
of code necessary.

Add `bpftool gen skeleton` command, which takes in compiled BPF .o object file
and dumps a BPF skeleton struct and related code to work with that skeleton.
Skeleton itself is tailored to a specific structure of provided BPF object
file, containing accessors (just plain struct fields) for every map and
program, as well as dedicated space for bpf_links. If BPF program is using
global variables, corresponding structure definitions of compatible memory
layout are emitted as well, making it possible to initialize and subsequently
read/update global variables values using simple and clear C syntax for
accessing fields. This skeleton majorly improves usability of
opening/loading/attaching of BPF object, as well as interacting with it
throughout the lifetime of loaded BPF object.

Generated skeleton struct has the following structure:

struct <object-name> {
	/* used by libbpf's skeleton API */
	struct bpf_object_skeleton *skeleton;
	/* bpf_object for libbpf APIs */
	struct bpf_object *obj;
	struct {
		/* for every defined map in BPF object: */
		struct bpf_map *<map-name>;
	} maps;
	struct {
		/* for every program in BPF object: */
		struct bpf_program *<program-name>;
	} progs;
	struct {
		/* for every program in BPF object: */
		struct bpf_link *<program-name>;
	} links;
	/* for every present global data section: */
	struct <object-name>__<one of bss, data, or rodata> {
		/* memory layout of corresponding data section,
		 * with every defined variable represented as a struct field
		 * with exactly the same type, but without const/volatile
		 * modifiers, e.g.:
		 */
		 int *my_var_1;
		 ...
	} *<one of bss, data, or rodata>;
};

This provides great usability improvements:
- no need to look up maps and programs by name, instead just
  my_obj->maps.my_map or my_obj->progs.my_prog would give necessary
  bpf_map/bpf_program pointers, which user can pass to existing libbpf APIs;
- pre-defined places for bpf_links, which will be automatically populated for
  program types that libbpf knows how to attach automatically (currently
  tracepoints, kprobe/kretprobe, raw tracepoint and tracing programs). On
  tearing down skeleton, all active bpf_links will be destroyed (meaning BPF
  programs will be detached, if they are attached). For cases in which libbpf
  doesn't know how to auto-attach BPF program, user can manually create link
  after loading skeleton and they will be auto-detached on skeleton
  destruction:

	my_obj->links.my_fancy_prog = bpf_program__attach_cgroup_whatever(
		my_obj->progs.my_fancy_prog, <whatever extra param);

- it's extremely easy and convenient to work with global data from userspace
  now. Both for read-only and read/write variables, it's possible to
  pre-initialize them before skeleton is loaded:

	skel = my_obj__open(raw_embed_data);
	my_obj->rodata->my_var = 123;
	my_obj__load(skel); /* 123 will be initialization value for my_var */

  After load, if kernel supports mmap() for BPF arrays, user can still read
  (and write for .bss and .data) variables values, but at that point it will
  be directly mmap()-ed to BPF array, backing global variables. This allows to
  seamlessly exchange data with BPF side. From userspace program's POV, all
  the pointers and memory contents stay the same, but mapped kernel memory
  changes to point to created map.
  If kernel doesn't yet support mmap() for BPF arrays, it's still possible to
  use those data section structs to pre-initialize .bss, .data, and .rodata,
  but after load their pointers will be reset to NULL, allowing user code to
  gracefully handle this condition, if necessary.

generation on older host kernel, which doesn't contain BTF_KIND_FUNCs
information in vmlinux BTF. This is a common set up, though, when, e.g.,
selftests are compiled on older host kernel, but the test program itself is
executed in qemu VM with bleeding edge kernel. Having this BTF searching
performed at load time allows to successfully use bpf_object__open() for
codegen and inspection of BPF object file.

Refactor global data map initialization to use anonymous mmap()-ed memory
instead of malloc()-ed one. This allows to do a transparent re-mmap()-ing of
already existing memory address to point to BPF map's memory after
bpf_object__load() step (done in follow up patch). This choreographed setup
allows to have a nice and unsurprising way to pre-initialize read-only (and
r/w as well) maps by user and after BPF map creation keep working with
mmap()-ed contents of this map. All in a way that doesn't require user code to
update any pointers: the illusion of working with memory contents is preserved
before and after actual BPF map instantiation.

Selftests and runqslower example demonstrate this feature in follow up patches.

Add APIs to get BPF program function name, as opposed to bpf_program__title(),
which returns BPF program function's section name. Function name has a benefit
of being a valid C identifier and uniquely identifies a specific BPF program,
while section name can be duplicated across multiple independent BPF programs.

Add also bpf_object__find_program_by_name(), similar to
bpf_object__find_program_by_title(), to facilitate looking up BPF programs by
their C function names.

Convert one of selftests to new API for look up.

Expose API that allows to emit type declaration and field/variable definition
(if optional field name is specified) in valid C syntax for any provided BTF
type. This is going to be used by bpftool when emitting data section layout as
a struct. As part of making this API useful in a stand-alone fashion, move
initialization of some of the internal btf_dump state to earlier phase.

Few libbpf APIs are not public but currently exposed through libbpf.h to be
used by bpftool. Move them to libbpf_internal.h, where intent of being
non-stable and non-public is much more obvious.

Generalize BPF program attaching and allow libbpf to auto-detect type (and
extra parameters, where applicable) and attach supported BPF program types
based on program sections. Currently this is supported for:
- kprobe/kretprobe;
- tracepoint;
- raw tracepoint;
- tracing programs (typed raw TP/fentry/fexit).

More types support can be trivially added within this framework.

Reorganize bpf_object__open and bpf_object__load steps such that
bpf_object__open doesn't need root access. This was previously done for
feature probing and BTF sanitization. This doesn't have to happen on open,
though, so move all those steps into the load phase.

This is important, because it makes it possible for tools like bpftool, to
just open BPF object file and inspect their contents: programs, maps, BTF,
etc. For such operations it is prohibitive to require root access. On the
other hand, there is a lot of custom libbpf logic in those steps, so its best
avoided for tools to reimplement all that on their own.

Fedora binutils has been patched to show "other info" for a symbol at the
end of the line. This was done in order to support unmaintained scripts
that would break with the extra info. [1]

[1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/binutils/c/b8265c46f7ddae23a792ee8306fbaaeacba83bf8

This in turn has been done to fix the build of ruby, because of checksec.
[2] Thanks Michael Ellerman for the pointer.

As libbpf Makefile is not unmaintained, we can simply deal with either
output format, by just removing the "other info" field, as it always comes
inside brackets.

Paul Chaignon says:

====================
When working with frequently modified BPF programs, both the ID and the
tag may change.  bpftool currently doesn't provide a "stable" way to match
such programs.  This patchset allows bpftool to match programs and maps by
name.

When given a tag that matches several programs, bpftool currently only
considers the first match.  The first patch changes that behavior to
either process all matching programs (for the show and dump commands) or
error out.  The second patch implements program lookup by name, with the
same behavior as for tags in case of ambiguity.  The last patch implements
map lookup by name.

Changelogs:
  Changes in v2:
    - Fix buffer overflow after realloc.
    - Add example output to commit message.
    - Properly close JSON arrays on errors.
    - Fix style errors (line breaks, for loops, exit labels, type for
      tagname).
    - Move do_show code for argc == 2 to do_show_subset functions.
    - Rebase.

This patch implements lookup by name for maps and changes the behavior of
lookups by tag to be consistent with prog subcommands.  Similarly to
program subcommands, the show and dump commands will return all maps with
the given name (or tag), whereas other commands will error out if several
maps have the same name (resp. tag).

When a map has BTF info, it is dumped in JSON with available BTF info.
This patch requires that all matched maps have BTF info before switching
the output format to JSON.
