One of our benchmarks running in (Google-internal) CI pushes data
through the ringbuf faster htan than userspace is able to consume
it. In this case it seems we're actually able to get >INT_MAX entries
in a single ring_buffer__consume() call. ASAN detected that cnt
overflows in this case.
Fix by using 64-bit counter internally and then capping the result to
INT_MAX before converting to the int return type. Do the same for
the ring_buffer__poll().

Add extra logic to handle map externs (only BTF-defined maps are supported for
linking). Re-use the map parsing logic used during bpf_object__open(). Map
externs are currently restricted to always match complete map definition. So
all the specified attributes will be compared (down to pining, map_flags,
numa_node, etc). In the future this restriction might be relaxed with no
backwards compatibility issues. If any attribute is mismatched between extern
and actual map definition, linker will report an error, pointing out which one
mismatches.
The original intent was to allow for extern to specify attributes that matters
(to user) to enforce. E.g., if you specify just key information and omit
value, then any value fits. Similarly, it should have been possible to enforce
map_flags, pinning, and any other possible map attribute. Unfortunately, that
means that multiple externs can be only partially overlapping with each other,
which means linker would need to combine their type definitions to end up with
the most restrictive and fullest map definition. This requires an extra amount
of BTF manipulation which at this time was deemed unnecessary and would
require further extending generic BTF writer APIs. So that is left for future
follow ups, if there will be demand for that. But the idea seems intresting
and useful, so I want to document it here.
Weak definitions are also supported, but are pretty strict as well, just
like externs: all weak map definitions have to match exactly. In the follow up
patches this most probably will be relaxed, with __weak map definitions being
able to differ between each other (with non-weak definition always winning, of
course).

Add BPF static linker logic to resolve extern variables and functions across
multiple linked together BPF object files.
For that, linker maintains a separate list of struct glob_sym structures,
which keeps track of few pieces of metadata (is it extern or resolved global,
is it a weak symbol, which ELF section it belongs to, etc) and ties together
BTF type info and ELF symbol information and keeps them in sync.
With adding support for extern variables/funcs, it's now possible for some
sections to contain both extern and non-extern definitions. This means that
some sections may start out as ephemeral (if only externs are present and thus
there is not corresponding ELF section), but will be "upgraded" to actual ELF
section as symbols are resolved or new non-extern definitions are appended.
Additional care is taken to not duplicate extern entries in sections like
.kconfig and .ksyms.
Given libbpf requires BTF type to always be present for .kconfig/.ksym
externs, linker extends this requirement to all the externs, even those that
are supposed to be resolved during static linking and which won't be visible
to libbpf. With BTF information always present, static linker will check not
just ELF symbol matches, but entire BTF type signature match as well. That
logic is stricter that BPF CO-RE checks. It probably should be re-used by
.ksym resolution logic in libbpf as well, but that's left for follow up
patches.
To make it unnecessary to rewrite ELF symbols and minimize BTF type
rewriting/removal, ELF symbols that correspond to externs initially will be
updated in place once they are resolved. Similarly for BTF type info, VAR/FUNC
and var_secinfo's (sec_vars in struct bpf_linker) are staying stable, but
types they point to might get replaced when extern is resolved. This might
leave some left-over types (even though we try to minimize this for common
cases of having extern funcs with not argument names vs concrete function with
names properly specified). That can be addresses later with a generic BTF
garbage collection. That's left for a follow up as well.
Given BTF type appending phase is separate from ELF symbol
appending/resolution, special struct glob_sym->underlying_btf_id variable is
used to communicate resolution and rewrite decisions. 0 means
underlying_btf_id needs to be appended (it's not yet in final linker->btf), <0
values are used for temporary storage of source BTF type ID (not yet
rewritten), so -glob_sym->underlying_btf_id is BTF type id in obj-btf. But by
the end of linker_append_btf() phase, that underlying_btf_id will be remapped
and will always be > 0. This is the uglies part of the whole process, but
keeps the other parts much simpler due to stability of sec_var and VAR/FUNC
types, as well as ELF symbol, so please keep that in mind while reviewing.
BTF-defined maps require some extra custom logic and is addressed separate in
the next patch, so that to keep this one smaller and easier to review.

Refactor BTF-defined maps parsing logic to allow it to be nicely reused by BPF
static linker. Further, at least for BPF static linker, it's important to know
which attributes of a BPF map were defined explicitly, so provide a bit set
for each known portion of BTF map definition. This allows BPF static linker to
do a simple check when dealing with extern map declarations.
The same capabilities allow to distinguish attributes explicitly set to zero
(e.g., __uint(max_entries, 0)) vs the case of not specifying it at all (no
max_entries attribute at all). Libbpf is currently not utilizing that, but it
could be useful for backwards compatibility reasons later.

Currently libbpf is very strict about parsing BPF program instruction
sections. No gaps are allowed between sequential BPF programs within a given
ELF section. Libbpf enforced that by keeping track of the next section offset
that should start a new BPF (sub)program and cross-checks that by searching
for a corresponding STT_FUNC ELF symbol.
But this is too restrictive once we allow to have weak BPF programs and link
together two or more BPF object files. In such case, some weak BPF programs
might be "overridden" by either non-weak BPF program with the same name and
signature, or even by another weak BPF program that just happened to be linked
first. That, in turn, leaves BPF instructions of the "lost" BPF (sub)program
intact, but there is no corresponding ELF symbol, because no one is going to
be referencing it.
Libbpf already correctly handles such cases in the sense that it won't append
such dead code to actual BPF programs loaded into kernel. So the only change
that needs to be done is to relax the logic of parsing BPF instruction
sections. Instead of assuming next BPF (sub)program section offset, iterate
available STT_FUNC ELF symbols to discover all available BPF subprograms and
programs.

Prior to this commit xsk_socket__create(_shared) always attempted to create
the rx and tx rings for the socket. However this causes an issue when the
socket being setup is that which shares the fd with the UMEM. If a
previous call to this function failed with this socket after the rings were
set up, a subsequent call would always fail because the rings are not torn
down after the first call and when we try to set them up again we encounter
an error because they already exist. Solve this by remembering whether the
rings were set up by introducing new bools to struct xsk_umem which
represent the ring setup status and using them to determine whether or
not to set up the rings.

Currently, if there are multiple xdpsock instances running on a single
interface and in case one of the instances is terminated, the rest of
them are left in an inoperable state due to the fact of unloaded XDP
prog from interface.
Consider the scenario below:
// load xdp prog and xskmap and add entry to xskmap at idx 10
$ sudo ./xdpsock -i ens801f0 -t -q 10
// add entry to xskmap at idx 11
$ sudo ./xdpsock -i ens801f0 -t -q 11
terminate one of the processes and another one is unable to work due to
the fact that the XDP prog was unloaded from interface.
To address that, step away from setting bpf prog in favour of bpf_link.
This means that refcounting of BPF resources will be done automatically
by bpf_link itself.
Provide backward compatibility by checking if underlying system is
bpf_link capable. Do this by looking up/creating bpf_link on loopback
device. If it failed in any way, stick with netlink-based XDP prog.
therwise, use bpf_link-based logic.
When setting up BPF resources during xsk socket creation, check whether
bpf_link for a given ifindex already exists via set of calls to
bpf_link_get_next_id -> bpf_link_get_fd_by_id -> bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd
and comparing the ifindexes from bpf_link and xsk socket.
For case where resources exist but they are not AF_XDP related, bail out
and ask user to remove existing prog and then retry.
Lastly, do a bit of refactoring within __xsk_setup_xdp_prog and pull out
existing code branches based on prog_id value onto separate functions
that are responsible for resource initialization if prog_id was 0 and
for lookup existing resources for non-zero prog_id as that implies that
XDP program is present on the underlying net device. This in turn makes
it easier to follow, especially the teardown part of both branches.

This patch is to make libbpf able to handle the following extern
kernel function declaration and do the needed relocations before
loading the bpf program to the kernel.
extern int foo(struct sock *) __attribute__((section(".ksyms")))
In the collect extern phase, needed changes is made to
bpf_object__collect_externs() and find_extern_btf_id() to collect
extern function in ".ksyms" section. The func in the BTF datasec also
needs to be replaced by an int var. The idea is similar to the existing
handling in extern var. In case the BTF may not have a var, a dummy ksym
var is added at the beginning of bpf_object__collect_externs()
if there is func under ksyms datasec. It will also change the
func linkage from extern to global which the kernel can support.
It also assigns a param name if it does not have one.
In the collect relo phase, it will record the kernel function
call as RELO_EXTERN_FUNC.
bpf_object__resolve_ksym_func_btf_id() is added to find the func
btf_id of the running kernel.
During actual relocation, it will patch the BPF_CALL instruction with
src_reg = BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC_CALL and insn->imm set to the running
kernel func's btf_id.

The vmlinux.h generated from BTF is invalid when building
drivers/phy/ti/phy-gmii-sel.c with clang:
vmlinux.h:61702:27: error: array type has incomplete element type ‘struct reg_field’
61702 | const struct reg_field (*regfields)[3];
| ^~~~~~~~~
bpftool generates a forward declaration for this struct regfield, which
compilers aren't happy about. Here's a simplified reproducer:
struct inner {
int val;
};
struct outer {
struct inner (*ptr_to_array)[2];
} A;
After build with clang -> bpftool btf dump c -> clang/gcc:
./def-clang.h:11:23: error: array has incomplete element type 'struct inner'
struct inner (*ptr_to_array)[2];
Member ptr_to_array of struct outer is a pointer to an array of struct
inner. In the DWARF generated by clang, struct outer appears before
struct inner, so when converting BTF of struct outer into C, bpftool
issues a forward declaration to struct inner. With GCC the DWARF info is
reversed so struct inner gets fully defined.
That forward declaration is not sufficient when compilers handle an
array of the struct, even when it's only used through a pointer. Note
that we can trigger the same issue with an intermediate typedef:
struct inner {
int val;
};
typedef struct inner inner2_t[2];
struct outer {
inner2_t *ptr_to_array;
} A;
Becomes:
struct inner;
typedef struct inner inner2_t[2];
And causes:
./def-clang.h:10:30: error: array has incomplete element type 'struct inner'
typedef struct inner inner2_t[2];
To fix this, clear through_ptr whenever we encounter an intermediate
array, to make the inner struct part of a strong link and force full
declaration.

Similar to
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210313210920.1959628-2-andrii@kernel.org/
When DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS is used with inline field initialization, e.g:
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(btf_dump_emit_type_decl_opts, opts,
.field_name = var_ident,
.indent_level = 2,
.strip_mods = strip_mods,
);
and compiled in debug mode, the compiler generates code which
leaves the padding uninitialized and triggers errors within libbpf APIs
which require strict zero initialization of OPTS structs.
Adding anonymous padding field fixes the issue.

Add .BTF and .BTF.ext static linking logic.
When multiple BPF object files are linked together, their respective .BTF and
.BTF.ext sections are merged together. BTF types are not just concatenated,
but also deduplicated. .BTF.ext data is grouped by type (func info, line info,
core_relos) and target section names, and then all the records are
concatenated together, preserving their relative order. All the BTF type ID
references and string offsets are updated as necessary, to take into account
possibly deduplicated strings and types.
BTF DATASEC types are handled specially. Their respective var_secinfos are
accumulated separately in special per-section data and then final DATASEC
types are emitted at the very end during bpf_linker__finalize() operation,
just before emitting final ELF output file.
BTF data can also provide "section annotations" for some extern variables.
Such concept is missing in ELF, but BTF will have DATASEC types for such
special extern datasections (e.g., .kconfig, .ksyms). Such sections are called
"ephemeral" internally. Internally linker will keep metadata for each such
section, collecting variables information, but those sections won't be emitted
into the final ELF file.
Also, given LLVM/Clang during compilation emits BTF DATASECS that are
incomplete, missing section size and variable offsets for static variables,
BPF static linker will initially fix up such DATASECs, using ELF symbols data.
The final DATASECs will preserve section sizes and all variable offsets. This
is handled correctly by libbpf already, so won't cause any new issues. On the
other hand, it's actually a nice property to have a complete BTF data without
runtime adjustments done during bpf_object__open() by libbpf. In that sense,
BPF static linker is also a BTF normalizer.

Introduce BPF static linker APIs to libbpf. BPF static linker allows to
perform static linking of multiple BPF object files into a single combined
resulting object file, preserving all the BPF programs, maps, global
variables, etc.
Data sections (.bss, .data, .rodata, .maps, maps, etc) with the same name are
concatenated together. Similarly, code sections are also concatenated. All the
symbols and ELF relocations are also concatenated in their respective ELF
sections and are adjusted accordingly to the new object file layout.
Static variables and functions are handled correctly as well, adjusting BPF
instructions offsets to reflect new variable/function offset within the
combined ELF section. Such relocations are referencing STT_SECTION symbols and
that stays intact.
Data sections in different files can have different alignment requirements, so
that is taken care of as well, adjusting sizes and offsets as necessary to
satisfy both old and new alignment requirements.
DWARF data sections are stripped out, currently. As well as LLLVM_ADDRSIG
section, which is ignored by libbpf in bpf_object__open() anyways. So, in
a way, BPF static linker is an analogue to `llvm-strip -g`, which is a pretty
nice property, especially if resulting .o file is then used to generate BPF
skeleton.
Original string sections are ignored and instead we construct our own set of
unique strings using libbpf-internal `struct strset` API.
To reduce the size of the patch, all the .BTF and .BTF.ext processing was
moved into a separate patch.
The high-level API consists of just 4 functions:
- bpf_linker__new() creates an instance of BPF static linker. It accepts
output filename and (currently empty) options struct;
- bpf_linker__add_file() takes input filename and appends it to the already
processed ELF data; it can be called multiple times, one for each BPF
ELF object file that needs to be linked in;
- bpf_linker__finalize() needs to be called to dump final ELF contents into
the output file, specified when bpf_linker was created; after
bpf_linker__finalize() is called, no more bpf_linker__add_file() and
bpf_linker__finalize() calls are allowed, they will return error;
- regardless of whether bpf_linker__finalize() was called or not,
bpf_linker__free() will free up all the used resources.
Currently, BPF static linker doesn't resolve cross-object file references
(extern variables and/or functions). This will be added in the follow up patch
set.

Add btf__add_type() API that performs shallow copy of a given BTF type from
the source BTF into the destination BTF. All the information and type IDs are
preserved, but all the strings encountered are added into the destination BTF
and corresponding offsets are rewritten. BTF type IDs are assumed to be
correct or such that will be (somehow) modified afterwards.

Extract BTF logic for maintaining a set of strings data structure, used for
BTF strings section construction in writable mode, into separate re-usable
API. This data structure is going to be used by bpf_linker to maintains ELF
STRTAB section, which has the same layout as BTF strings section.

Extract and generalize the logic to iterate BTF type ID and string offset
fields within BTF types and .BTF.ext data. Expose this internally in libbpf
for re-use by bpf_linker.
Additionally, complete strings deduplication handling for BTF.ext (e.g., CO-RE
access strings), which was previously missing. There previously was no
case of deduplicating .BTF.ext data, but bpf_linker is going to use it.
