After the RCU flavor consolidation [1], call_rcu() and
synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions (NAPI) in addition
to the read-side critical sections. As a result of this, the cleanup
code in cpumap can be simplified
* There is no longer a need to flush in __cpu_map_entry_free, since we
know that this has been done when the call_rcu() callback is
triggered.
* When freeing the map, there is no need to explicitly wait for a
flush. It's guaranteed to be done after the synchronize_rcu() call
in cpu_map_free().

Instead of all or nothing approach of overriding Kconfig file location, allow
to extend it with extra values and override chosen subset of values though
optional user-provided extra config, passed as a string through open options'
.kconfig option. If same config key is present in both user-supplied config
and Kconfig, user-supplied one wins. This allows applications to more easily
test various conditions despite host kernel's real configuration. If all of
BPF object's __kconfig externs are satisfied from user-supplied config, system
Kconfig won't be read at all.
Simplify selftests by not needing to create temporary Kconfig files.

There are cases in which BPF resource (program, map, etc) has to outlive
userspace program that "installed" it in the system in the first place.
When BPF program is attached, libbpf returns bpf_link object, which
is supposed to be destroyed after no longer necessary through
bpf_link__destroy() API. Currently, bpf_link destruction causes both automatic
detachment and frees up any resources allocated to for bpf_link in-memory
representation. This is inconvenient for the case described above because of
coupling of detachment and resource freeing.
This patch introduces bpf_link__disconnect() API call, which marks bpf_link as
disconnected from its underlying BPF resouces. This means that when bpf_link
is destroyed later, all its memory resources will be freed, but BPF resource
itself won't be detached.
This design allows to follow strict and resource-leak-free design by default,
while giving easy and straightforward way for user code to opt for keeping BPF
resource attached beyond lifetime of a bpf_link. For some BPF programs (i.e.,
FS-based tracepoints, kprobes, raw tracepoint, etc), user has to make sure to
pin BPF program to prevent kernel to automatically detach it on process exit.
This should typically be achived by pinning BPF program (or map in some cases)
in BPF FS.

Work-around what appears to be a bug in rst2man convertion tool, used to
create man pages out of reStructureText-formatted documents. If text line
starts with dot, rst2man will put it in resulting man file verbatim. This
seems to cause man tool to interpret it as a directive/command (e.g., `.bs`), and
subsequently not render entire line because it's unrecognized one.

Libbpf is trying to recognize BPF program type based on its section name
during bpf_object__open() phase. This is not strictly enforced and user code
has ability to specify/override correct BPF program type after open. But if
BPF program is using custom section name, libbpf will still emit warnings,
which can be quite annoying to users. This patch reduces log level of
information messages emitted by libbpf if section name is not canonical. User
can still get a list of all supported section names as debug-level message.

Probably the single most common error newcomers to XDP are stumped by is
the 'permission denied' error they get when trying to load their program
and 'ulimit -l' is set too low. For examples, see [0], [1].
Since the error code is UAPI, we can't change that. Instead, this patch
adds a few heuristics in libbpf and outputs an additional hint if they are
met: If an EPERM is returned on map create or program load, and geteuid()
shows we are root, and the current RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is not infinity, we
output a hint about raising 'ulimit -l' as an additional log line.

When attaching XDP programs, userspace can set flags to request the attach
mode (generic/SKB mode, driver mode or hw offloaded mode). If no such flags
are requested, the kernel will attempt to attach in driver mode, and then
silently fall back to SKB mode if this fails.
The silent fallback is a major source of user confusion, as users will try
to load a program on a device without XDP support, and instead of an error
they will get the silent fallback behaviour, not notice, and then wonder
why performance is not what they were expecting.
In an attempt to combat this, let's switch all the samples to default to
explicitly requesting driver-mode attach. As part of this, ensure that all
the userspace utilities have a switch to enable SKB mode. For those that
have a switch to request driver mode, keep it but turn it into a no-op.

It seems Clang can in some cases turn on stack protection by default, which
doesn't work with BPF. This was reported once before[0], but it seems the
flag to explicitly turn off the stack protector wasn't added to the

The symptom of this is compile errors like the following:

Add support for generation of mmap()-ed read-only view of libbpf-provided
extern variables. As externs are not supposed to be provided by user code
(that's what .data, .bss, and .rodata is for), don't mmap() it initially. Only
after skeleton load is performed, map .extern contents as read-only memory.

Add support for extern variables, provided to BPF program by libbpf. Currently
the following extern variables are supported:
- LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION; version of a kernel in which BPF program is
executing, follows KERNEL_VERSION() macro convention, can be 4- and 8-byte
long;
- CONFIG_xxx values; a set of values of actual kernel config. Tristate,
boolean, strings, and integer values are supported.
Set of possible values is determined by declared type of extern variable.
Supported types of variables are:
- Tristate values. Are represented as `enum libbpf_tristate`. Accepted values
are **strictly** 'y', 'n', or 'm', which are represented as TRI_YES, TRI_NO,
or TRI_MODULE, respectively.
- Boolean values. Are represented as bool (_Bool) types. Accepted values are
'y' and 'n' only, turning into true/false values, respectively.
- Single-character values. Can be used both as a substritute for
bool/tristate, or as a small-range integer:
- 'y'/'n'/'m' are represented as is, as characters 'y', 'n', or 'm';
- integers in a range [-128, 127] or [0, 255] (depending on signedness of
char in target architecture) are recognized and represented with
respective values of char type.
- Strings. String values are declared as fixed-length char arrays. String of
up to that length will be accepted and put in first N bytes of char array,
with the rest of bytes zeroed out. If config string value is longer than
space alloted, it will be truncated and warning message emitted. Char array
is always zero terminated. String literals in config have to be enclosed in
double quotes, just like C-style string literals.
- Integers. 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit integers are supported, both signed and
unsigned variants. Libbpf enforces parsed config value to be in the
supported range of corresponding integer type. Integers values in config can
be:
- decimal integers, with optional + and - signs;
- hexadecimal integers, prefixed with 0x or 0X;
- octal integers, starting with 0.
Config file itself is searched in /boot/config-$(uname -r) location with
fallback to /proc/config.gz, unless config path is specified explicitly
through bpf_object_open_opts' kernel_config_path option. Both gzipped and
plain text formats are supported. Libbpf adds explicit dependency on zlib
because of this, but this shouldn't be a problem, given libelf already depends
on zlib.
All detected extern variables, are put into a separate .extern internal map.
It, similarly to .rodata map, is marked as read-only from BPF program side, as
well as is frozen on load. This allows BPF verifier to track extern values as
constants and perform enhanced branch prediction and dead code elimination.
This can be relied upon for doing kernel version/feature detection and using
potentially unsupported field relocations or BPF helpers in a CO-RE-based BPF
program, while still having a single version of BPF program running on old and
new kernels. Selftests are validating this explicitly for unexisting BPF
helper.

Add `bpftool gen skeleton` command, which takes in compiled BPF .o object file
and dumps a BPF skeleton struct and related code to work with that skeleton.
Skeleton itself is tailored to a specific structure of provided BPF object
file, containing accessors (just plain struct fields) for every map and
program, as well as dedicated space for bpf_links. If BPF program is using
global variables, corresponding structure definitions of compatible memory
layout are emitted as well, making it possible to initialize and subsequently
read/update global variables values using simple and clear C syntax for
accessing fields. This skeleton majorly improves usability of
opening/loading/attaching of BPF object, as well as interacting with it
throughout the lifetime of loaded BPF object.
Generated skeleton struct has the following structure:
struct <object-name> {
/* used by libbpf's skeleton API */
struct bpf_object_skeleton *skeleton;
/* bpf_object for libbpf APIs */
struct bpf_object *obj;
struct {
/* for every defined map in BPF object: */
struct bpf_map *<map-name>;
} maps;
struct {
/* for every program in BPF object: */
struct bpf_program *<program-name>;
} progs;
struct {
/* for every program in BPF object: */
struct bpf_link *<program-name>;
} links;
/* for every present global data section: */
struct <object-name>__<one of bss, data, or rodata> {
/* memory layout of corresponding data section,
* with every defined variable represented as a struct field
* with exactly the same type, but without const/volatile
* modifiers, e.g.:
*/
int *my_var_1;
...
} *<one of bss, data, or rodata>;
};
This provides great usability improvements:
- no need to look up maps and programs by name, instead just
my_obj->maps.my_map or my_obj->progs.my_prog would give necessary
bpf_map/bpf_program pointers, which user can pass to existing libbpf APIs;
- pre-defined places for bpf_links, which will be automatically populated for
program types that libbpf knows how to attach automatically (currently
tracepoints, kprobe/kretprobe, raw tracepoint and tracing programs). On
tearing down skeleton, all active bpf_links will be destroyed (meaning BPF
programs will be detached, if they are attached). For cases in which libbpf
doesn't know how to auto-attach BPF program, user can manually create link
after loading skeleton and they will be auto-detached on skeleton
destruction:
my_obj->links.my_fancy_prog = bpf_program__attach_cgroup_whatever(
my_obj->progs.my_fancy_prog, <whatever extra param);
- it's extremely easy and convenient to work with global data from userspace
now. Both for read-only and read/write variables, it's possible to
pre-initialize them before skeleton is loaded:
skel = my_obj__open(raw_embed_data);
my_obj->rodata->my_var = 123;
my_obj__load(skel); /* 123 will be initialization value for my_var */
After load, if kernel supports mmap() for BPF arrays, user can still read
(and write for .bss and .data) variables values, but at that point it will
be directly mmap()-ed to BPF array, backing global variables. This allows to
seamlessly exchange data with BPF side. From userspace program's POV, all
the pointers and memory contents stay the same, but mapped kernel memory
changes to point to created map.
If kernel doesn't yet support mmap() for BPF arrays, it's still possible to
use those data section structs to pre-initialize .bss, .data, and .rodata,
but after load their pointers will be reset to NULL, allowing user code to
gracefully handle this condition, if necessary.

Add new set of APIs, allowing to open/load/attach BPF object through BPF
object skeleton, generated by bpftool for a specific BPF object file. All the
xxx_skeleton() APIs wrap up corresponding bpf_object_xxx() APIs, but
additionally also automate map/program lookups by name, global data
initialization and mmap()-ing, etc. All this greatly improves and simplifies
userspace usability of working with BPF programs. See follow up patches for
examples.
