In order to show pinned paths for BPF programs, maps, or links when
listing them with the "-f" option, bpftool creates hash maps to store
all relevant paths under the bpffs. So far, it would rely on the
kernel implementation (from tools/include/linux/hashtable.h).
We can make bpftool rely on libbpf's implementation instead. The
motivation is to make bpftool less dependent of kernel headers, to ease
the path to a potential out-of-tree mirror, like libbpf has.
This commit is the first step of the conversion: the hash maps for
pinned paths for programs, maps, and links are converted to libbpf's
hashmap.{c,h}. Other hash maps used for the PIDs of process holding
references to BPF objects are left unchanged for now. On the build side,
this requires adding a dependency to a second header internal to libbpf,
and making it a dependency for the bootstrap bpftool version as well.
The rest of the changes are a rather straightforward conversion.

BPF programs, maps, and links, can all be listed with their pinned paths
by bpftool, when the "-f" option is provided. To do so, bpftool builds
hash maps containing all pinned paths for each kind of objects.
These three hash maps are always initialised in main.c, and exposed
through main.h. There appear to be no particular reason to do so: we can
just as well make them static to the files that need them (prog.c,
map.c, and link.c respectively), and initialise them only when we want
to show objects and the "-f" switch is provided.
This may prevent unnecessary memory allocations if the implementation of
the hash maps was to change in the future.

The dependency is only useful to make sure that the $(LIBBPF_HDRS_DIR)
directory is created before we try to install locally the required
libbpf internal header. Let's create this directory properly instead.
This is in preparation of making $(LIBBPF_INTERNAL_HDRS) a dependency to
the bootstrap bpftool version, in which case we want no dependency on
$(LIBBPF).

Reduce amount of waiting time when running test_progs in parallel mode (-j) by
splitting bpf_verif_scale selftests into multiple tests. Previously it was
structured as a test with multiple subtests, but subtests are not easily
parallelizable with test_progs' infra. Also in practice each scale subtest is
really an independent test with nothing shared across all substest.
This patch set changes how test_progs test discovery works. Now it is possible
to define multiple tests within a single source code file. One of the patches
also marks tc_redirect selftests as serial, because it's extremely harmful to

Instead of using subtests in bpf_verif_scale selftest, turn each scale
sub-test into its own test. Each subtest is compltely independent and
just reuses a bit of common test running logic, so the conversion is
trivial. For convenience, keep all of BPF verifier scale tests in one
file.
This conversion shaves off a significant amount of time when running
test_progs in parallel mode. E.g., just running scale tests (-t verif_scale):

Recent change to use tp/syscalls/sys_enter_nanosleep for perf_buffer

Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
This patch set refactors internals of libbpf to enable support for multiple
custom .rodata.* and .data.* sections. Each such section is backed by its own
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, memory-mappable just like .rodata/.data. This is not
extended to .bss because .bss is not a great name, it is generated by compiler
with name that reflects completely irrelevant historical implementation
details. Given that users have to annotate their variables with
SEC(".data.my_sec") explicitly, standardizing on .rodata. and .data. prefixes
makes more sense and keeps things simpler.
Additionally, this patch set makes it simpler to work with those special
internal maps by allowing to look them up by their full ELF section name.
Patch #1 is a preparatory patch that deprecates one libbpf API and moves
custom logic into libbpf.c, where it's used. This code is later refactored
with the rest of libbpf.c logic to support multiple data section maps.
See individual patches for all the details.
For new custom "dot maps", their full ELF section names are used as the names
that are sent into the kernel. Object name isn't prepended like for
.data/.rodata/.bss. The reason is that with longer custom names, there isn't
much space left for object name anyways. Also, if BTF is supported,
btf_value_type_id points to DATASEC BTF type, which contains full original ELF
name of the section, so tools like bpftool could use that to recover full
name. This patch set doesn't add this logic yet, this is left for follow up
patches.
One interesting possibility that is now open by these changes is that it's
possible to do:
bpf_trace_printk("My fmt %s", sizeof("My fmt %s"), "blah");
and it will work as expected. I haven't updated libbpf-provided helpers in
bpf_helpers.h for snprintf, seq_printf, and printk, because using
`static const char ___fmt[] = fmt;` trick is still efficient and doesn't fill
out the buffer at runtime (no copying). But we might consider updating them in
the future, especially with the array check that Kumar proposed (see [0]).

Map name that's assigned to internal maps (.rodata, .data, .bss, etc)
consist of a small prefix of bpf_object's name and ELF section name as
a suffix. This makes it hard for users to "guess" the name to use for
looking up by name with bpf_object__find_map_by_name() API.
One proposal was to drop object name prefix from the map name and just
use ".rodata", ".data", etc, names. One downside called out was that
when multiple BPF applications are active on the host, it will be hard
to distinguish between multiple instances of .rodata and know which BPF
object (app) they belong to. Having few first characters, while quite
limiting, still can give a bit of a clue, in general.
Note, though, that btf_value_type_id for such global data maps (ARRAY)
points to DATASEC type, which encodes full ELF name, so tools like
bpftool can take advantage of this fact to "recover" full original name
of the map. This is also the reason why for custom .data.* and .rodata.*
maps libbpf uses only their ELF names and doesn't prepend object name at
all.
Another downside of such approach is that it is not backwards compatible
and, among direct use of bpf_object__find_map_by_name() API, will break
any BPF skeleton generated using bpftool that was compiled with older
libbpf version.
Instead of causing all this pain, libbpf will still generate map name
using a combination of object name and ELF section name, but it will
allow looking such maps up by their natural names, which correspond to
their respective ELF section names. This means non-truncated ELF section
names longer than 15 characters are going to be expected and supported.
With such set up, we get the best of both worlds: leave small bits of
a clue about BPF application that instantiated such maps, as well as
making it easy for user apps to lookup such maps at runtime. In this
sense it closes corresponding libbpf 1.0 issue ([0]).
BPF skeletons will continue using full names for lookups.

Remove internal libbpf assumption that there can be only one .rodata,
.data, and .bss map per BPF object. To achieve that, extend and
generalize the scheme that was used for keeping track of relocation ELF
sections. Now each ELF section has a temporary extra index that keeps
track of logical type of ELF section (relocations, data, read-only data,
BSS). Switch relocation to this scheme, as well as .rodata/.data/.bss
handling.
We don't yet allow multiple .rodata, .data, and .bss sections, but no
libbpf internal code makes an assumption that there can be only one of
each and thus they can be explicitly referenced by a single index. Next
patches will actually allow multiple .rodata and .data sections.

Minimize the usage of class-agnostic gelf_xxx() APIs from libelf. These
APIs require copying ELF data structures into local GElf_xxx structs and
have a more cumbersome API. BPF ELF file is defined to be always 64-bit
ELF object, even when intended to be run on 32-bit host architectures,
so there is no need to do class-agnostic conversions everywhere. BPF
static linker implementation within libbpf has been using Elf64-specific
types since initial implementation.
Add two simple helpers, elf_sym_by_idx() and elf_rel_by_idx(), for more
succinct direct access to ELF symbol and relocation records within ELF
data itself and switch all the GElf_xxx usage into Elf64_xxx
equivalents. The only remaining place within libbpf.c that's still using
gelf API is gelf_getclass(), as there doesn't seem to be a direct way to
get underlying ELF bitness.

There isn't a good use case where anyone but libbpf itself needs to call
btf__finalize_data(). It was implemented for internal use and it's not
clear why it was made into public API in the first place. To function, it
requires active ELF data, which is stored inside bpf_object for the
duration of opening phase only. But the only BTF that needs bpf_object's
ELF is that bpf_object's BTF itself, which libbpf fixes up automatically
during bpf_object__open() operation anyways. There is no need for any
additional fix up and no reasonable scenario where it's useful and
appropriate.
Thus, btf__finalize_data() is just an API atavism and is better removed.
So this patch marks it as deprecated immediately (v0.6+) and moves the
code from btf.c into libbpf.c where it's used in the context of
bpf_object opening phase. Such code co-location allows to make code
structure more straightforward and remove bpf_object__section_size() and
bpf_object__variable_offset() internal helpers from libbpf_internal.h,
making them static. Their naming is also adjusted to not create
a wrong illusion that they are some sort of method of bpf_object. They
are internal helpers and are called appropriately.
This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

The perf buffer tests triggers trace with nanosleep syscall,
but monitors all syscalls, which results in lot of data in the
buffer and makes it harder to debug. Let's lower the trace
traffic and monitor just nanosleep syscall.

If the offline cpu is from the middle of the possible set,
we get mismatch with possible and online cpu buffers.
The perf buffer test calls perf_buffer__consume_buffer for
all 'possible' cpus, but the library holds only 'online'
cpu buffers and perf_buffer__consume_buffer returns them
based on index.
Adding extra (online) index to keep track of online buffers,
we need the original (possible) index to trigger trace on
proper cpu.

====================
This is a followup to discussion around RFC patchset "bpf: keep track of
prog verification stats" [0]. The RFC elaborates on my usecase, but to
summarize: keeping track of verifier stats for programs as they - and
the kernels they run on - change over time can help developers of
individual programs and BPF kernel folks.
The RFC added a verif_stats to the uapi which contained most of the info
which verifier prints currently. Feedback here was to avoid polluting
uapi with stats that might be meaningless after major changes to the
verifier, but that insn_processed or conceptually similar number would
exist in the long term and was safe to expose.
So let's expose just insn_processed via bpf_prog_info and fdinfo for now
and explore good ways of getting more complicated stats in the future.

v2->v3:
* Remove unnecessary check in patch 2's test [Andrii]
* Go back to adding new u32 in bpf_prog_info (vs using spare bits) [Andrii]
* Rebase + add acks [Andrii, John]
v1->v2:
* Rename uapi field from insn_processed to verified_insns [Daniel]
* use 31 bits of existing bitfield space in bpf_prog_info [Daniel]
* change underlying type from 64-> 32 bits [Daniel]

verified_insns field was added to response of bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd
call on a prog. Confirm that it's being populated by loading a simple
program and asking for its info.

This stat is currently printed in the verifier log and not stored
anywhere. To ease consumption of this data, add a field to bpf_prog_aux
so it can be exposed via BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD and fdinfo.

Currently ptr_is_aligned() takes size, and not alignment, as a
parameter, which may be overly pessimistic e.g. for __i128 on s390,
which must be only 8-byte aligned. Fix by using btf__align_of().

This patch set adds a new BPF helper bpf_skc_to_unix_sock().
The helper is used in tracing programs to cast a socket
pointer to a unix_sock pointer.
v2->v3:
- Use abstract socket in selftest (Alexei)
- Run checkpatch script over patches (Andrii)
v1->v2:
- Update selftest, remove trailing spaces changes (Song)
