test_bpftool_synctypes.py helps detecting inconsistencies in bpftool
between the different list of types and options scattered in the
sources, the documentation, and the bash completion. For options that
apply to all bpftool commands, the script had a hardcoded list of
values, and would use them to check whether the man pages are
up-to-date. When writing the script, it felt acceptable to have this
list in order to avoid to open and parse bpftool's main.h every time,
and because the list of global options in bpftool doesn't change so
often.
However, this is prone to omissions, and we recently added a new
-l|--legacy option which was described in common_options.rst, but not
listed in the options summary of each manual page. The script did not
complain, because it keeps comparing the hardcoded list to the (now)
outdated list in the header file.
To address the issue, this commit brings the following changes:
- Options that are common to all bpftool commands (--json, --pretty, and
--debug) are moved to a dedicated file, and used in the definition of
a RST substitution. This substitution is used in the sources of all
the man pages.
- This list of common options is updated, with the addition of the new
-l|--legacy option.
- The script test_bpftool_synctypes.py is updated to compare:
- Options specific to a command, found in C files, for the
interactive help messages, with the same specific options from the
relevant man page for that command.
- Common options, checked just once: the list in main.h is
compared with the new list in substitutions.rst.

Most files in the kernel repository have a SPDX tags. The files that
don't have such a tag (or another license boilerplate) tend to fall
under the GPL-2.0 license. In the past, bpftool's Makefile (for example)
has been marked as GPL-2.0 for that reason, when in fact all bpftool is
dual-licensed.
To prevent a similar confusion from happening with the RST documentation
files for bpftool, let's explicitly mark all files as dual-licensed.

All bpftool commands support the options for JSON output and debug from
libbpf. In addition, some commands support additional options
corresponding to specific use cases.
The list of options described in the man pages for the different
commands are not always accurate. The messages for interactive help are
mostly limited to HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS, and are even less representative of
the actual set of options supported for the commands.
Let's update the lists:
- HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS is modified to contain the "default" options (JSON
and debug), and to be extensible (no ending curly bracket).
- All commands use HELP_SPEC_OPTIONS in their help message, and then
complete the list with their specific options.
- The lists of options in the man pages are updated.
- The formatting of the list for bpftool.rst is adjusted to match
formatting for the other man pages. This is for consistency, and also
because it will be helpful in a future patch to automatically check
that the files are synchronised.

The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2),
bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current
one).
This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual
pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated
accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple
times in the past.
Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections
automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists
are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are
available in the same directory.
v3:
- Fix conflict with a previous patchset that introduced RST2MAN_OPTS
variable passed to rst2man.
v2:
- Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of
passing a format string directly to the command.

Nearly all man pages for bpftool have the same common set of option
flags (--help, --version, --json, --pretty, --debug). The description is
duplicated across all the pages, which is more difficult to maintain if
the description of an option changes. It may also be confusing to sort
out what options are not "common" and should not be copied when creating
new manual pages.
Let's move the description for those common options to a separate file,
which is included with a RST directive when generating the man pages.

libbpf has three levels of priority for output messages: warn, info,
debug. By default, debug output is not printed to the console.
Add a new "--debug" (short name: "-d") option to bpftool to print libbpf
logs for all three levels.
Internally, we simply use the function provided by libbpf to replace the
default printing function by one that prints logs regardless of their
level.
v2:
- Remove the possibility to select the log-levels to use (v1 offered a
combination of "warn", "info" and "debug").
- Rename option and offer a short name: -d|--debug.
- Add option description to all bpftool manual pages (instead of
bpftool-prog.rst only), as all commands use libbpf.

Add a new component and command for bpftool, in order to probe the
system to dump a set of eBPF-related parameters so that users can know
what features are available on the system.
Parameters are dumped in plain or JSON output (with -j/-p options).
The current patch introduces probing of one simple parameter:
availability of the bpf() system call. Later commits
will add other probes.
Sample output:
# bpftool feature probe kernel
Scanning system call availability...
bpf() syscall is available
# bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel
{
"syscall_config": {
"have_bpf_syscall": true
}
}
The optional "kernel" keyword enforces probing of the current system,
which is the only possible behaviour at this stage. It can be safely
omitted.
The feature comes with the relevant man page, but bash completion will
come in a dedicated commit.
v3:
- Do not probe kernel version. Contrarily to what is written below for
v2, we can have the kernel version retrieved in libbpf instead of
bpftool (in the patch adding probing for program types).
v2:
- Remove C-style macros output from this patch.
- Even though kernel version is no longer needed for testing kprobes
availability, note that we still collect it in this patch so that
bpftool gets able to probe (in next patches) older kernels as well.

This is a followup patch for Commit f6f3bac08f
("tools/bpf: bpftool: add net support").
Some improvements are made for the bpftool net output.
Specially, plain output is more concise such that
per attachment should nicely fit in one line.
Compared to previous output, the prog tag is removed
since it can be easily obtained with program id.
Similar to xdp attachments, the device name is added
to tc attachments.
The bpf program attached through shared block
mechanism is supported as well.
$ ip link add dev v1 type veth peer name v2
$ tc qdisc add dev v1 ingress_block 10 egress_block 20 clsact
$ tc qdisc add dev v2 ingress_block 10 egress_block 20 clsact
$ tc filter add block 10 protocol ip prio 25 bpf obj bpf_shared.o sec ingress flowid 1:1
$ tc filter add block 20 protocol ip prio 30 bpf obj bpf_cyclic.o sec classifier flowid 1:1
$ bpftool net
xdp:
tc:
v2(7) clsact/ingress bpf_shared.o:[ingress] id 23
v2(7) clsact/egress bpf_cyclic.o:[classifier] id 24
v1(8) clsact/ingress bpf_shared.o:[ingress] id 23
v1(8) clsact/egress bpf_cyclic.o:[classifier] id 24
The documentation and "bpftool net help" are updated
to make it clear that current implementation only
supports xdp and tc attachments. For programs
attached to cgroups, "bpftool cgroup" can be used
to dump attachments. For other programs e.g.
sk_{filter,skb,msg,reuseport} and lwt/seg6,
iproute2 tools should be used.
The new output:
$ bpftool net
xdp:
eth0(2) driver id 198
tc:
eth0(2) clsact/ingress fbflow_icmp id 335 act [{icmp_action id 336}]
eth0(2) clsact/egress fbflow_egress id 334

Add "bpftool net" support. Networking devices are enumerated
to dump device index/name associated with xdp progs.
For each networking device, tc classes and qdiscs are enumerated
in order to check their bpf filters.
In addition, root handle and clsact ingress/egress are also checked for
bpf filters. Not all filter information is printed out. Only ifindex,
kind, filter name, prog_id and tag are printed out, which are good
enough to show attachment information. If the filter action
is a bpf action, its bpf program id, bpf name and tag will be
printed out as well.
For example,
$ ./bpftool net
xdp [
ifindex 2 devname eth0 prog_id 198
]
tc_filters [
ifindex 2 kind qdisc_htb name prefix_matcher.o:[cls_prefix_matcher_htb]
