Drivers use different fields to report the number of channels, so take
the maximum of all data channels (rx, tx, combined) when determining the
size of the xsk map. The current code used only 'combined' which was set
to 0 in some drivers e.g. mlx4.
Tested: compiled and run xdpsock -q 3 -r -S on mlx4

Add support in libbpf to create multiple sockets that share a single
umem. Note that an external XDP program need to be supplied that
routes the incoming traffic to the desired sockets. So you need to
supply the libbpf_flag XSK_LIBBPF_FLAGS__INHIBIT_PROG_LOAD and load
your own XDP program.

When the need_wakeup flag was added to AF_XDP, the format of the
XDP_MMAP_OFFSETS getsockopt was extended. Code was added to the
kernel to take care of compatibility issues arrising from running
applications using any of the two formats. However, libbpf was
not extended to take care of the case when the application/libbpf
uses the new format but the kernel only supports the old
format. This patch adds support in libbpf for parsing the old
format, before the need_wakeup flag was added, and emulating a
set of static need_wakeup flags that will always work for the
application.

* Incorporated code improvements suggested by Jonathan Lemon
v1 -> v2:
* Rebased to bpf-next
* Rewrote the code as the previous version made you blind

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-10-27
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
We've added 52 non-merge commits during the last 11 day(s) which contain
a total of 65 files changed, 2604 insertions(+), 1100 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Revolutionize BPF tracing by using in-kernel BTF to type check BPF
assembly code. The work here teaches BPF verifier to recognize
kfree_skb()'s first argument as 'struct sk_buff *' in tracepoints
such that verifier allows direct use of bpf_skb_event_output() helper
used in tc BPF et al (w/o probing memory access) that dumps skb data
into perf ring buffer. Also add direct loads to probe memory in order
to speed up/replace bpf_probe_read() calls, from Alexei Starovoitov.
2) Big batch of changes to improve libbpf and BPF kselftests. Besides
others: generalization of libbpf's CO-RE relocation support to now
also include field existence relocations, revamp the BPF kselftest
Makefile to add test runner concept allowing to exercise various
ways to build BPF programs, and teach bpf_object__open() and friends
to automatically derive BPF program type/expected attach type from
section names to ease their use, from Andrii Nakryiko.
3) Fix deadlock in stackmap's build-id lookup on rq_lock(), from Song Liu.
4) Allow to read BTF as raw data from bpftool. Most notable use case
is to dump /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux through this, from Jiri Olsa.
5) Use bpf_redirect_map() helper in libbpf's AF_XDP helper prog which
manages to improve "rx_drop" performance by ~4%., from Björn Töpel.
6) Fix to restore the flow dissector after reattach BPF test and also
fix error handling in bpf_helper_defs.h generation, from Jakub Sitnicki.
7) Improve verifier's BTF ctx access for use outside of raw_tp, from
Martin KaFai Lau.
8) Improve documentation for AF_XDP with new sections and to reflect
latest features, from Magnus Karlsson.
9) Add back 'version' section parsing to libbpf for old kernels, from
John Fastabend.
10) Fix strncat bounds error in libbpf's libbpf_prog_type_by_name(),
from KP Singh.
11) Turn on -mattr=+alu32 in LLVM by default for BPF kselftests in order
to improve insn coverage for built BPF progs, from Yonghong Song.
12) Misc minor cleanups and fixes, from various others.

In commit 43e74c0267 ("bpf_xdp_redirect_map: Perform map lookup in
eBPF helper") the bpf_redirect_map() helper learned to do map lookup,
which means that the explicit lookup in the XDP program for AF_XDP is
not needed for post-5.3 kernels.
This commit adds the implicit map lookup with default action, which
improves the performance for the "rx_drop" [1] scenario with ~4%.
For pre-5.3 kernels, the bpf_redirect_map() returns XDP_ABORTED, and a
fallback path for backward compatibility is entered, where explicit
lookup is still performed. This means a slight regression for older
kernels (an additional bpf_redirect_map() call), but I consider that a
fair punishment for users not upgrading their kernels. ;-)

bcc uses libbpf repo as a submodule. It brings in libbpf source
code and builds everything together to produce shared libraries.
With latest libbpf, I got the following errors:
/bin/ld: libbcc_bpf.so.0.10.0: version node not found for symbol xsk_umem__create@LIBBPF_0.0.2
/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value

The linker thinks the built is for LIBBPF but cannot find proper version
LIBBPF_0.0.2/4, so emit errors.
I also confirmed that using libbpf.a to produce a shared library also
has issues:
-bash-4.4$ cat t.c
extern void *xsk_umem__create;
void * test() { return xsk_umem__create; }
-bash-4.4$ gcc -c -fPIC t.c

-bash-4.4$
Symbol versioning does happens in commonly used libraries, e.g., elfutils
and glibc. For static libraries, for a versioned symbol, the old definitions
will be ignored, and the symbol will be an alias to the latest definition.
For example, glibc sched_setaffinity is versioned.
-bash-4.4$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 | grep sched_setaffinity
756: 000000000013d3d0 13 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 13 sched_setaffinity@GLIBC_2.3.3

-bash-4.4$
For static library, the definition of sched_setaffinity aliases to the new definition.
-bash-4.4$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libc.a | grep sched_setaffinity
File: /usr/lib64/libc.a(sched_setaffinity.o)

For both elfutils and glibc, additional macros are used to control different handling
of symbol versioning w.r.t static and shared libraries.
For elfutils, the macro is SYMBOL_VERSIONING
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=blob;f=lib/eu-config.h).
For glibc, the macro is SHARED
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=include/shlib-compat.h;hb=refs/heads/master)
This patch used SHARED as the macro name. After this patch, the libbpf.a has
-bash-4.4$ readelf -s libbpf.a | grep xsk_umem__create
372: 0000000000017145 1190 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 xsk_umem__create_v0_0_4

-bash-4.4$
No versioned symbols for xsk_umem__create.
The libbpf.a can be used to build a shared library succesfully.
-bash-4.4$ cat t.c

The xsk_socket__create() function fails and returns an error if it cannot
get the XDP_OPTIONS through getsockopt(). However, support for XDP_OPTIONS
was not added until kernel 5.3, so this means that creating XSK sockets
always fails on older kernels.
Since the option is just used to set the zero-copy flag in the xsk struct,
and that flag is not really used for anything yet, just remove the
getsockopt() call until a proper use for it is introduced.

This patch adds a 'flags' field to the umem_config and umem_reg structs.
This will allow for more options to be added for configuring umems.
The first use for the flags field is to add a flag for unaligned chunks
mode. These flags can either be user-provided or filled with a default.
Since we change the size of the xsk_umem_config struct, we need to version
the ABI. This patch includes the ABI versioning for xsk_umem__create. The
Makefile was also updated to handle multiple function versions in

This commit adds AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason for this is
to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by offering
higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP
uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by
offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP
functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make
applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it
possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP
user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the
