      libbpf: Make btf_parse_elf process .BTF.base transparently · c86f180f
      Eduard Zingerman authored 
      Update btf_parse_elf() to check if .BTF.base section is present.
The logic is as follows:

  if .BTF.base section exists:
     distilled_base := btf_new(.BTF.base)
  if distilled_base:
     btf := btf_new(.BTF, .base_btf=distilled_base)
     if base_btf:
        btf_relocate(btf, base_btf)
  else:
     btf := btf_new(.BTF)
  return btf

In other words:
- if .BTF.base section exists, load BTF from it and use it as a base
  for .BTF load;
- if base_btf is specified and .BTF.base section exist, relocate newly
  loaded .BTF against base_btf.

      selftests/bpf: Extend distilled BTF tests to cover BTF relocation · affdeb50
      Alan Maguire authored 
      Ensure relocated BTF looks as expected; in this case identical to
original split BTF, with a few duplicate anonymous types added to
split BTF by the relocation process.  Also add relocation tests
for edge cases like missing type in base BTF and multiple types
of the same name.

      libbpf: Split BTF relocation · 19e00c89
      Alan Maguire authored 
      Map distilled base BTF type ids referenced in split BTF and their
references to the base BTF passed in, and if the mapping succeeds,
reparent the split BTF to the base BTF.

Relocation is done by first verifying that distilled base BTF
only consists of named INT, FLOAT, ENUM, FWD, STRUCT and
UNION kinds; then we sort these to speed lookups.  Once sorted,
the base BTF is iterated, and for each relevant kind we check
for an equivalent in distilled base BTF.  When found, the
mapping from distilled -> base BTF id and string offset is recorded.
In establishing mappings, we need to ensure we check STRUCT/UNION
size when the STRUCT/UNION is embedded in a split BTF STRUCT/UNION,
and when duplicate names exist for the same STRUCT/UNION.  Otherwise
size is ignored in matching STRUCT/UNIONs.

Once all mappings are established, we can update type ids
and string offsets in split BTF and reparent it to the new base.

      selftests/bpf: Test distilled base, split BTF generation · eb20e727
      Alan Maguire authored 
      Test generation of split+distilled base BTF, ensuring that

- named base BTF STRUCTs and UNIONs are represented as 0-vlen sized
  STRUCT/UNIONs
- named ENUM[64]s are represented as 0-vlen named ENUM[64]s
- anonymous struct/unions are represented in full in split BTF
- anonymous enums are represented in full in split BTF
- types unreferenced from split BTF are not present in distilled
  base BTF

Also test that with vmlinux BTF and split BTF based upon it,
we only represent needed base types referenced from split BTF
in distilled base.

      libbpf: Add btf__distill_base() creating split BTF with distilled base BTF · 58e185a0
      Alan Maguire authored 
      To support more robust split BTF, adding supplemental context for the
base BTF type ids that split BTF refers to is required.  Without such
references, a simple shuffling of base BTF type ids (without any other
significant change) invalidates the split BTF.  Here the attempt is made
to store additional context to make split BTF more robust.

This context comes in the form of distilled base BTF providing minimal
information (name and - in some cases - size) for base INTs, FLOATs,
STRUCTs, UNIONs, ENUMs and ENUM64s along with modified split BTF that
points at that base and contains any additional types needed (such as
TYPEDEF, PTR and anonymous STRUCT/UNION declarations).  This
information constitutes the minimal BTF representation needed to
disambiguate or remove split BTF references to base BTF.  The rules
are as follows:

- INT, FLOAT, FWD are recorded in full.
- if a named base BTF STRUCT or UNION is referred to from split BTF, it
  will be encoded as a zero-member sized STRUCT/UNION (preserving
  size for later relocation checks).  Only base BTF STRUCT/UNIONs
  that are either embedded in split BTF STRUCT/UNIONs or that have
  multiple STRUCT/UNION instances of the same name will _need_ size
  checks at relocation time, but as it is possible a different set of
  types will be duplicates in the later to-be-resolved base BTF,
  we preserve size information for all named STRUCT/UNIONs.
- if an ENUM[64] is named, a ENUM forward representation (an ENUM
  with no values) of the same size is used.
- in all other cases, the type is added to the new split BTF.

Avoiding struct/union/enum/enum64 expansion is important to keep the
distilled base BTF representation to a minimum size.

When successful, new representations of the distilled base BTF and new
split BTF that refers to it are returned.  Both need to be freed by the
caller.

So to take a simple example, with split BTF with a type referring
to "struct sk_buff", we will generate distilled base BTF with a
0-member STRUCT sk_buff of the appropriate size, and the split BTF
will refer to it instead.

Tools like pahole can utilize such split BTF to populate the .BTF
section (split BTF) and an additional .BTF.base section.  Then
when the split BTF is loaded, the distilled base BTF can be used
to relocate split BTF to reference the current (and possibly changed)
base BTF.

So for example if "struct sk_buff" was id 502 when the split BTF was
originally generated,  we can use the distilled base BTF to see that
id 502 refers to a "struct sk_buff" and replace instances of id 502
with the current (relocated) base BTF sk_buff type id.

Distilled base BTF is small; when building a kernel with all modules
using distilled base BTF as a test, overall module size grew by only
5.3Mb total across ~2700 modules.
