561bbccac7 tools lib bpf: Extract and collect map names from BPF object file
This patch collects name of maps in BPF object files and saves them into
'maps' field in 'struct bpf_object'. 'bpf_object__get_map_by_name' is
introduced to retrive fd and definitions of a map through its name.

9d759a9b4a tools lib bpf: Collect map definition in bpf_object
This patch collects more information from maps sections in BPF object
files into 'struct bpf_object', enables later patches access those
information (such as the type and size of the map).

In this patch, a new handler 'struct bpf_map' is extracted in parallel
with bpf_object and bpf_program. Its iterator and accessor is also
created.

43798bf372 bpf tools: Add helper function for updating bpf maps elements
Add bpf_map_update_elem() helper function which calls the sys_bpf
syscall to update elements in bpf maps. Upcoming patches will use it to
adjust data in map through the perf command line.

d8ad6a15cc tools lib bpf: Don't do a feature check when cleaning
Before this patch libbpf always do feature check even when cleaning.

For example:

  $ cd kernel/tools/lib/bpf
  $ make

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]

    CC       libbpf.o
    CC       bpf.o
    LD       libbpf-in.o
    LINK     libbpf.a
    LINK     libbpf.so
  $ make clean
    CLEAN    libbpf
    CLEAN    core-gen
  $ make clean

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]

    CLEAN    libbpf
    CLEAN    core-gen
  $

Although the first 'make clean' doesn't show feature check result, it
still does the check. No output because check result is similar to
FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf.

This patch uses same method as perf to turn off feature checking when
'make clean'.

b580563e38 bpf tools: Load a program with different instances using preprocessor
This patch is a preparation for BPF prologue support which allows
generating a series of BPF bytecode for fetching kernel data before
calling program code. With the newly introduced multiple instances
support, perf is able to create different prologues for different kprobe
points.

Before this patch, a bpf_program can be loaded into kernel only once,
and get the only resulting fd. What this patch does is to allow creating
and loading different variants of one bpf_program, then fetching their
fds.

Here we describe the basic idea in this patch. The detailed description
of the newly introduced APIs can be found in comments in the patch body.

The key of this patch is the new mechanism in bpf_program__load().
Instead of loading BPF program into kernel directly, it calls a
'pre-processor' to generate program instances which would be finally
loaded into the kernel based on the original code. To enable the
generation of multiple instances, libbpf passes an index to the
pre-processor so it know which instance is being loaded.

Pre-processor should be called from libbpf's user (perf) using
bpf_program__set_prep(). The number of instances and the relationship
between indices and the target instance should be clear when calling
bpf_program__set_prep().

To retrieve a fd for a specific instance of a program,
bpf_program__nth_fd() is introduced. It returns the resulting fd
according to index.

6371ca3b54 bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reporting
In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and
libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors.

Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the
CHECK_ERR() macro.

All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in
perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes
changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them.

bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf
errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will
be improved by the following patch.

load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log
buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid
program or other problem.

v1 -> v2:

 - Using macro for error code.

 - Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

 - Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code
   are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD.

In v1:

  # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_big_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  In v2:

  # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
                       \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ Incorrect kernel version
  SKIP
  (Will be further improved by following patches)

  # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o
  event syntax error: './test_big_program.o'
                       \___ Program too big

65f041bee7 tools lib bpf: Use FEATURE_USER to allow building in the same dir as perf
When building tools/lib/bpf as part of the tools/perf/ build process,
which will happend when we introduce a patch wiring that up, we end up
stomping on the feature detection caching mechanism, that uses a file in
the output directory (O=) that is shared by libbpf and perf to check if
something changed from one build to another that requires redoing the
feature detection process.

By using the recently introduced FEATURE_USER tools/build/ knob, we can
avoid that:

Before, every make invokation would run the feature detection:

  $ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf
  make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
  ...                         glibc: [ on  ]
  <SNIP>
  ...                     get_cpuid: [ on  ]
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]

    GEN      perf-archive
    GEN      perf-with-kcore

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]
  <SNIP>

After:

  $ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf
  make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
  make: Leaving directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
  $

Because we now have two different feature detection state files:

  $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP*
  -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 338 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme  33 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf
  $

20517cd9c5 tools lib bpf: Fix up FEATURE_{TESTS,DISPLAY} usage
When libbpf was introduced it wrongly asked for the "libelf" and "bpf"
feature tests to be performed (via FEATURE_TESTS), while asking that
"libbpf", "libelf-mmap", "libelf-getphdrnum" and "bpf" to have the
result of its respective tests to be displayed (via FEATURE_DISPLAY).

Due to another recently bug fixed in the tools/build/ infrastructure
("tools build: Fixup feature detection display function name") the
results for the entries in the FEATURE_DISPLAY, for this case, were
appearing as all succeeding, when two of them (the ones only on the
DISPLAY) were not even being performed.

Before:

  $ make -C tools/lib/bpf/
  make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
  ...             libelf-getphdrnum: [ OFF ]
  ...                   libelf-mmap: [ OFF ]
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]
  <SNIP>

After, with FEATURE_TESTS == FEATURE_DISPLAY:

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
  ...             libelf-getphdrnum: [ on  ]
  ...                   libelf-mmap: [ on  ]
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]
  <SNIP>

I just inverted, so that it tests the four features but displays just
the libelf and mmap ones, to make it more compact. So it becomes:

  $ make -C tools/lib/bpf/
  make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/lib/bpf'

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]

acf860ae7c bpf tools: New API to get name from a BPF object
Before this patch there's no way to connect a loaded bpf object
to its source file. However, during applying perf's '--filter' to BPF
object, without this connection makes things harder, because perf loads
all programs together, but '--filter' setting is for each object.

The API of bpf_object__open_buffer() is changed to allow passing a name.
Fortunately, at this time there's only one user of it (perf test LLVM),
so we change it together.

55cffde2e1 bpf tools: Load eBPF programs in object files into kernel
This patch utilizes previous introduced bpf_load_program to load
programs in the ELF file into kernel. Result is stored in 'fd' field in
'struct bpf_program'.

During loading, it allocs a log buffer and free it before return.  Note
that that buffer is not passed to bpf_load_program() if the first
loading try is successful. Doesn't use a statically allocated log buffer
to avoid potention multi-thread problem.

Instructions collected during opening is cleared after loading.

load_program() is created for loading a 'struct bpf_insn' array into
kernel, bpf_program__load() calls it. By this design we have a function
loads instructions into kernel. It will be used by further patches,

8a47a6c522 bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programs
If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction
which loads an absolute address into a register, like this:

  ld_64   r1, <MCOperand Expr:(mymap)>
  ...
  call    2

That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section.
To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing
the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by
eBPF map functions.

This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by
patches:

'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section',
'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections'
and
'bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program'.

For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding
file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction.

This is the final part of map relocation patch. The principle of map
relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol
table from SHT_SYMTAB section'.

52d3352e79 bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object file
This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using
bpf_create_map(), and stores the fds into an array in 'struct
bpf_object'.

Previous patches parse ELF object file and collects required data, but
doesn't play with the kernel. They belong to the 'opening' phase. This
patch is the first patch in 'loading' phase. The 'loaded' field is
introduced in 'struct bpf_object' to avoid loading an object twice,
because the loading phase clears resources collected during the opening
which becomes useless after loading. In this patch, maps_buf is cleared.

This patch introduces bpf.c and bpf.h, which hold common functions

completely from user. Note that bpf.c and bpf.h deal with kernel

is not cared by of bpf.[ch].

We first introduce bpf_create_map().

Note that, since functions in bpf.[ch] are wrapper of sys_bpf, they
don't use OO style naming.

340909152a bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program
This patch records the indices of instructions which are needed to be
relocated. That information is saved in the 'reloc_desc' field in
'struct bpf_program'. In the loading phase (this patch takes effect in
the opening phase), the collected instructions will be replaced by map
loading instructions.

Since we are going to close the ELF file and clear all data at the end
of the 'opening' phase, the ELF information will no longer be valid in
the 'loading' phase. We have to locate the instructions before maps are
loaded, instead of directly modifying the instruction.

'struct bpf_map_def' is introduced in this patch to let us know how many
maps are defined in the object.

This is the third part of map relocation. The principle of map relocation
is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from
SHT_SYMTAB section'.

bec7d68cb5 bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section
This patch collects symbols section. This section is useful when linking
BPF maps.

What 'bpf_map_xxx()' functions actually require are map's file
descriptors (and the internal verifier converts fds into pointers to
'struct bpf_map'), which we don't know when compiling. Therefore, we
should make compiler generate a 'ldr_64 r1, <imm>' instruction, and
fill the 'imm' field with the actual file descriptor when loading in
libbpf.

BPF programs should be written in this way:

 struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") my_map = {
    .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
    .key_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
    .value_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
    .max_entries = 1000000,
 };

 SEC("my_func=sys_write")
 int my_func(void *ctx)
 {
     ...
     bpf_map_update_elem(&my_map, &key, &value, BPF_ANY);
     ...
 }

Compiler should convert '&my_map' into a 'ldr_64, r1, <imm>'
instruction, where imm should be the address of 'my_map'. According to
the address, libbpf knows which map it actually referenced, and then
fills the imm field with the 'fd' of that map created by it.

However, since we never really 'link' the object file, the imm field is
only a record in relocation section. Therefore libbpf should do the
relocation:

 1. In relocation section (type == SHT_REL), positions of each such
    'ldr_64' instruction are recorded with a reference of an entry in
    symbol table (SHT_SYMTAB);

 2. From records in symbol table we can find the indics of map
    variables.

Libbpf first record SHT_SYMTAB and positions of each instruction which
required bu such operation. Then create file descriptor. Finally, after
map creation complete, replace the imm field.

This is the first patch of BPF map related stuff. It records SHT_SYMTAB
into object's efile field for further use.

validation according to e_type and e_machine.

All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.

After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.

The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL
pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.

Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.

Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.

To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.
