add simple kfuncs to create/destroy a context type to bpf_testmod,
register them and add a kfunc_call test to use them. This provides
test coverage for registration of dtor kfuncs from modules.
By transferring the context pointer to a map value as a __kptr
we also trigger the map-based dtor cleanup logic, improving test
coverage.

Support creation of module BTF along with distilled base BTF;
the latter is stored in a .BTF.base ELF section and supplements
split BTF references to base BTF with information about base types,
allowing for later relocation of split BTF with a (possibly
changed) base. resolve_btfids detects the presence of a .BTF.base
section and will use it instead of the base BTF it is passed in
BTF id resolution.
Modules will be built with a distilled .BTF.base section for external
module build, i.e.
make -C. -M=path2/module
...while in-tree module build as part of a normal kernel build will
not generate distilled base BTF; this is because in-tree modules
change with the kernel and do not require BTF relocation for the
running vmlinux.

Share relocation implementation with the kernel. As part of this,
we also need the type/string iteration functions so also share
btf_iter.c file. Relocation code in kernel and userspace is identical
save for the impementation of the reparenting of split BTF to the
relocated base BTF and retrieval of the BTF header from "struct btf";
these small functions need separate user-space and kernel implementations
for the separate "struct btf"s they operate upon.
One other wrinkle on the kernel side is we have to map .BTF.ids in
modules as they were generated with the type ids used at BTF encoding
time. btf_relocate() optionally returns an array mapping from old BTF
ids to relocated ids, so we use that to fix up these references where
needed for kfuncs.

security_file_post_open() is inherently sleepable as it's purposely

New versions of bpftool now emit additional link placeholders for BPF
maps (struct_ops maps are the only maps right now that support
attachment), and set up BPF skeleton in such a way that libbpf will
auto-attach BPF maps automatically, assumming libbpf is recent enough
(v1.5+). Old libbpf will do nothing with those links and won't attempt
to auto-attach maps. This allows user code to handle both pre-v1.5 and
v1.5+ versions of libbpf at runtime, if necessary.
But if users don't have (or don't want to) control bpftool version that
generates skeleton, then they can't just assume that skeleton will have
link placeholders. To make this detection possible and easy, let's add
the following to generated skeleton header file:
#define BPF_SKEL_SUPPORTS_MAP_AUTO_ATTACH 1
This can be used during compilation time to guard code that accesses
skel->links.<map> slots.
Note, if auto-attachment is undesirable, libbpf allows to disable this
through bpf_map__set_autoattach(map, false). This is necessary only on
libbpf v1.5+, older libbpf doesn't support map auto-attach anyways.
Libbpf version can be detected at compilation time using
LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION and LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION macros, or at runtime with
libbpf_major_version() and libbpf_minor_version() APIs.

The opts.{type, noconnect} is at least a bit non intuitive or unnecessary.
The only use case now is in test_bpf_ip_check_defrag_ok which ends up
bypassing most (or at least some) of the connect_to_fd_opts() logic. It's
much better that test should have its own connect_to_fd_opts() instead.
This patch adds a new "type" parameter for connect_to_fd_opts(), then
opts->type and getsockopt(SO_TYPE) can be replaced by "type" parameter in
it.
In connect_to_fd(), use getsockopt(SO_TYPE) to get "type" value and pass
it to connect_to_fd_opts().
In bpf_tcp_ca.c and cgroup_v1v2.c, "SOCK_STREAM" types are passed to
connect_to_fd_opts(), and in ip_check_defrag.c, different types "SOCK_RAW"
and "SOCK_DGRAM" are passed to it.
With these changes, the strcut member "type" of network_helper_opts can be
dropped now.

====================
bpf: support resilient split BTF
Split BPF Type Format (BTF) provides huge advantages in that kernel
modules only have to provide type information for types that they do not
share with the core kernel; for core kernel types, split BTF refers to
core kernel BTF type ids. So for a STRUCT sk_buff, a module that
uses that structure (or a pointer to it) simply needs to refer to the
core kernel type id, saving the need to define the structure and its many
dependents. This cuts down on duplication and makes BTF as compact
as possible.
However, there is a downside. This scheme requires the references from
split BTF to base BTF to be valid not just at encoding time, but at use
time (when the module is loaded). Even a small change in kernel types
can perturb the type ids in core kernel BTF, and - if the new reproducible
BTF option is not used - pahole's parallel processing of compilation units
can lead to different type ids for the same kernel if the BTF is
regenerated.
So we have a robustness problem for split BTF for cases where a module is
not always compiled at the same time as the kernel. This problem is
particularly acute for distros which generally want module builders to be
able to compile a module for the lifetime of a Linux stable-based release,
and have it continue to be valid over the lifetime of that release, even
as changes in data structures (and hence BTF types) accrue. Today it's not
possible to generate BTF for modules that works beyond the initial
kernel it is compiled against - kernel bugfixes etc invalidate the split
BTF references to vmlinux BTF, and BTF is no longer usable for the
module.
The goal of this series is to provide options to provide additional
context for cases like this. That context comes in the form of
distilled base BTF; it stands in for the base BTF, and contains
information about the types referenced from split BTF, but not their
full descriptions. The modified split BTF will refer to type ids in
this .BTF.base section, and when the kernel loads such modules it
will use that .BTF.base to map references from split BTF to the
equivalent current vmlinux base BTF types. Once this relocation
process has succeeded, the module BTF available in /sys/kernel/btf
will look exactly as if it was built with the current vmlinux;
references to base types will be fixed up etc.
A module builder - using this series along with the pahole changes -
can then build a module with distilled base BTF via an out-of-tree
module build, i.e.
make -C . M=path/2/module
The module will have a .BTF section (the split BTF) and a
.BTF.base section. The latter is small in size - distilled base
BTF does not need full struct/union/enum information for named
types for example. For 2667 modules built with distilled base BTF,
the average size observed was 1556 bytes (stddev 1563). The overall
size added to this 2667 modules was 5.3Mb.
Note that for the in-tree modules, this approach is not needed as
split and base BTF in the case of in-tree modules are always built
and re-built together.
The series first focuses on generating split BTF with distilled base
BTF; then relocation support is added to allow split BTF with
an associated distlled base to be relocated with a new base BTF.
Next Eduard's patch allows BTF ELF parsing to work with both
.BTF and .BTF.base sections; this ensures that bpftool will be
able to dump BTF for a module with a .BTF.base section for example,
or indeed dump relocated BTF where a module and a "-B vmlinux"
is supplied.
Then we add support to resolve_btfids to ignore base BTF - i.e.
to avoid relocation - if a .BTF.base section is found. This ensures
the .BTF.ids section is populated with ids relative to the distilled
base (these will be relocated as part of module load).
Finally the series supports storage of .BTF.base data/size in modules
and supports sharing of relocation code with the kernel to allow
relocation of module BTF. For the kernel, this relocation
process happens at module load time, and we relocate split BTF
references to point at types in the current vmlinux BTF. As part of
this, .BTF.ids references need to be mapped also.
So concretely, what happens is
- we generate split BTF in the .BTF section of a module that refers to
types in the .BTF.base section as base types; the latter are not full
type descriptions but provide information about the base type. So
a STRUCT sk_buff would be represented as a FWD struct sk_buff in
distilled base BTF for example.
- when the module is loaded, the split BTF is relocated with vmlinux
BTF; in the case of the FWD struct sk_buff, we find the STRUCT sk_buff
in vmlinux BTF and map all split BTF references to the distilled base
FWD sk_buff, replacing them with references to the vmlinux BTF
STRUCT sk_buff.
A previous approach to this problem [1] utilized standalone BTF for such
cases - where the BTF is not defined relative to base BTF so there is no
relocation required. The problem with that approach is that from
the verifier perspective, some types are special, and having a custom
representation of a core kernel type that did not necessarily match the
current representation is not tenable. So the approach taken here was
to preserve the split BTF model while minimizing the representation of
the context needed to relocate split and current vmlinux BTF.
To generate distilled .BTF.base sections the associated dwarves
patch (to be applied on the "next" branch there) is needed [3]
Without it, things will still work but modules will not be built
with a .BTF.base section.
Changes since v5[4]:
- Update search of distilled types to return the first occurrence
of a string (or a string+size pair); this allows us to iterate
over all matches in distilled base BTF (Andrii, patch 3)
- Update to use BTF field iterators (Andrii, patches 1, 3 and 8)
- Update tests to cover multiple match and associated error cases
(Eduard, patch 4)
- Rename elf_sections_info to btf_elf_secs, remove use of
libbpf_get_error(), reset btf->owns_base when relocation
succeeds (Andrii, patch 5)
Changes since v4[5]:
- Moved embeddedness, duplicate name checks to relocation time
and record struct/union size for all distilled struct/unions
instead of using forwards. This allows us to carry out
type compatibility checks based on the base BTF we want to
relocate with (Eduard, patches 1, 3)
- Moved to using qsort() instead of qsort_r() as support for
qsort_r() appears to be missing in Android libc (Andrii, patch 3)
- Sorting/searching now incorporates size matching depending
on BTF kind and embeddedness of struct/union (Eduard, Andrii,
patch 3)
- Improved naming of various types during relocation to avoid
confusion (Andrii, patch 3)
- Incorporated Eduard's patch (patch 5) which handles .BTF.base
sections internally in btf_parse_elf(). This makes ELF parsing
work with split BTF, split BTF with a distilled base, split
BTF with a distilled base _and_ base BTF (by relocating) etc.
Having this avoids the need for bpftool changes; it will work
as-is with .BTF.base sections (Eduard, patch 4)
- Updated resolve_btfids to _not_ relocate BTF for modules
where a .BTF.base section is present; in that one case we
do not want to relocate BTF as the .BTF.ids section should
reflect ids in .BTF.base which will later be relocated on
module load (Eduard, Andrii, patch 5)
Changes since v3[6]:
- distill now checks for duplicate-named struct/unions and records
them as a sized struct/union to help identify which of the
multiple base BTF structs/unions it refers to (Eduard, patch 1)
- added test support for multiple name handling (Eduard, patch 2)
- simplified the string mapping when updating split BTF to use
base BTF instead of distilled base. Since the only string
references split BTF can make to base BTF are the names of
the base types, create a string map from distilled string
offset -> base BTF string offset and update string offsets
by visiting all strings in split BTF; this saves having to
do costly searches of base BTF (Eduard, patch 7,10)
- fixed bpftool manpage and indentation issues (Quentin, patch 11)
Also explored Eduard's suggestion of doing an implicit fallback
to checking for .BTF.base section in btf__parse() when it is
called to get base BTF. However while it is doable, it turned
out to be difficult operationally. Since fallback is implicit
we do not know the source of the BTF - was it from .BTF or
.BTF.base? In bpftool, we want to try first standalone BTF,
then split, then split with distilled base. Having a way
to explicitly request .BTF.base via btf__parse_opts() fits
that model better.
Changes since v2[7]:
- submitted patch to use --btf_features in Makefile.btf for pahole
v1.26 and later separately (Andrii). That has landed in bpf-next
now.
- distilled base now encodes ENUM64 as fwd ENUM (size 8), eliminating
the need for support for ENUM64 in btf__add_fwd (patch 1, Andrii)
- moved to distilling only named types, augmenting split BTF with
associated reference types; this simplifies greatly the distilled
base BTF and the mapping operation between distilled and base
BTF when relocating (most of the series changes, Andrii)
- relocation now iterates over base BTF, looking for matches based
on name in distilled BTF. Distilled BTF is pre-sorted by name
(Andrii, patch 8)
- removed most redundant compabitiliby checks aside from struct
size for base types/embedded structs and kind compatibility
(since we only match on name) (Andrii, patch 8)
- btf__parse_opts() now replaces btf_parse() internally in libbpf
(Eduard, patch 3)
Changes since RFC [8]:
- updated terminology; we replace clunky "base reference" BTF with
distilling base BTF into a .BTF.base section. Similarly BTF
reconcilation becomes BTF relocation (Andrii, most patches)
- add distilled base BTF by default for out-of-tree modules
(Alexei, patch 8)
- distill algorithm updated to record size of embedded struct/union
by recording it as a 0-vlen STRUCT/UNION with size preserved
(Andrii, patch 2)
- verify size match on relocation for such STRUCT/UNIONs (Andrii,
patch 9)
- with embedded STRUCT/UNION recording size, we can have bpftool
dump a header representation using .BTF.base + .BTF sections
rather than special-casing and refusing to use "format c" for
that case (patch 5)
- match enum with enum64 and vice versa (Andrii, patch 9)
- ensure that resolve_btfids works with BTF without .BTF.base
section (patch 7)
- update tests to cover embedded types, arrays and function
prototypes (patches 3, 12)

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.

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.

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.

Compilers can generate the code
r1 = r2
r1 += 0x1
if r2 < 1000 goto ...
use knowledge of r2 range in subsequent r1 operations
So remember constant delta between r2 and r1 and update r1 after 'if' condition.
Unfortunately LLVM still uses this pattern for loops with 'can_loop' construct:
for (i = 0; i < 1000 && can_loop; i++)
The "undo" pass was introduced in LLVM
https://reviews.llvm.org/D121937
to prevent this optimization, but it cannot cover all cases.
Instead of fighting middle end optimizer in BPF backend teach the verifier

bpf: make trusted args nullable
Current verifier checks for the arg to be nullable after checking for
certain pointer types. It prevents programs to pass NULL to kfunc args
even if they are marked as nullable. This patchset adjusts verifier and
changes bpf crypto kfuncs to allow null for IV parameter which is
optional for some ciphers. Benchmark shows ~4% improvements when there
is no need to initialise 0-sized dynptr.
