2019-02-04	tools/bpf: print out btf log at LIBBPF_WARN level	Yonghong Song	1	-2/+0
	Currently, the btf log is allocated and printed out in case of error at LIBBPF_DEBUG level. Such logs from kernel are very important for debugging. For example, bpf syscall BPF_PROG_LOAD command can get verifier logs back to user space. In function load_program() of libbpf.c, the log buffer is allocated unconditionally and printed out at pr_warning() level. Let us do the similar thing here for btf. Allocate buffer unconditionally and print out error logs at pr_warning() level. This can reduce one global function and optimize for common situations where pr_warning() is activated either by default or by user supplied debug output function.

2019-02-04	tools/bpf: move libbpf pr_* debug print functions to headers	Yonghong Song	1	-0/+32
	A global function libbpf_print, which is invisible outside the shared library, is defined to print based on levels. The pr_warning, pr_info and pr_debug macros are moved into the newly created header common.h. So any .c file including common.h can use these macros directly. Currently btf__new and btf_ext__new API has an argument getting __pr_debug function pointer into btf.c so the debugging information can be printed there. This patch removed this parameter from btf__new and btf_ext__new and directly using pr_debug in btf.c. Another global function libbpf_print_level_available, also invisible outside the shared library, can test whether a particular level debug printing is available or not. It is used in btf.c to test whether DEBUG level debug printing is availabl or not, based on which the log buffer will be allocated when loading btf to the kernel.
