By default, libbpf will attach the kprobe/uprobe BPF program in the
latest mode that supported by kernel. In this patch, we add the support
to let users manually attach kprobe/uprobe in legacy or perf mode.
There are 3 mode that supported by the kernel to attach kprobe/uprobe:
LEGACY: create perf event in legacy way and don't use bpf_link
PERF: create perf event with perf_event_open() and don't use bpf_link

Users now can manually choose the mode with
bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts()/bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts().
Add option to set when the perf buffer should wake up, by default the
perf buffer becomes signaled for every event that is being pushed to it.
In case of a high throughput of events it will be more efficient to wake
up only once you have X events ready to be read.
So your application can wakeup once and drain the entire perf buffer.

When attach_prog_fd field was removed in libbpf 1.0 and replaced with
`long: 0` placeholder, it actually shifted all the subsequent fields by
8 byte. This is due to `long: 0` promising to adjust next field's offset
to long-aligned offset. But in this case we were already long-aligned
as pin_root_path is a pointer. So `long: 0` had no effect, and thus
didn't feel the gap created by removed attach_prog_fd.
Non-zero bitfield should have been used instead. I validated using
pahole. Originally kconfig field was at offset 40. With `long: 0` it's
at offset 32, which is wrong. With this change it's back at offset 40.
While technically libbpf 1.0 is allowed to break backwards
compatibility and applications should have been recompiled against
libbpf 1.0 headers, but given how trivial it is to preserve memory
layout, let's fix this.

Now that all of the logic is in place in the kernel to support user-space
produced ring buffers, we can add the user-space logic to libbpf. This
patch therefore adds the following public symbols to libbpf:
struct user_ring_buffer *
user_ring_buffer__new(int map_fd,
const struct user_ring_buffer_opts *opts);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, __u32 size);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
__u32 size, int timeout_ms);
void user_ring_buffer__submit(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, void *sample);
void user_ring_buffer__discard(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
void user_ring_buffer__free(struct user_ring_buffer *rb);
A user-space producer must first create a struct user_ring_buffer * object
with user_ring_buffer__new(), and can then reserve samples in the
ring buffer using one of the following two symbols:
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, __u32 size);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
__u32 size, int timeout_ms);
With user_ring_buffer__reserve(), a pointer to a 'size' region of the ring
buffer will be returned if sufficient space is available in the buffer.
user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking() provides similar semantics, but will
block for up to 'timeout_ms' in epoll_wait if there is insufficient space
in the buffer. This function has the guarantee from the kernel that it will
receive at least one event-notification per invocation to
bpf_ringbuf_drain(), provided that at least one sample is drained, and the
BPF program did not pass the BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP flag to bpf_ringbuf_drain().
Once a sample is reserved, it must either be committed to the ring buffer
with user_ring_buffer__submit(), or discarded with
user_ring_buffer__discard().

Add SEC("ksyscall")/SEC("ksyscall/<syscall_name>") and corresponding
kretsyscall variants (for return kprobes) to allow users to kprobe
syscall functions in kernel. These special sections allow to ignore
complexities and differences between kernel versions and host
architectures when it comes to syscall wrapper and corresponding
__<arch>_sys_<syscall> vs __se_sys_<syscall> differences, depending on
whether host kernel has CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER (though libbpf
itself doesn't rely on /proc/config.gz for detecting this, see
BPF_KSYSCALL patch for how it's done internally).
Combined with the use of BPF_KSYSCALL() macro, this allows to just
specify intended syscall name and expected input arguments and leave
dealing with all the variations to libbpf.
In addition to SEC("ksyscall+") and SEC("kretsyscall+") add
bpf_program__attach_ksyscall() API which allows to specify syscall name
at runtime and provide associated BPF cookie value.
At the moment SEC("ksyscall") and bpf_program__attach_ksyscall() do not
handle all the calling convention quirks for mmap(), clone() and compat
syscalls. It also only attaches to "native" syscall interfaces. If host
system supports compat syscalls or defines 32-bit syscalls in 64-bit
kernel, such syscall interfaces won't be attached to by libbpf.
These limitations may or may not change in the future. Therefore it is
recommended to use SEC("kprobe") for these syscalls or if working with
compat and 32-bit interfaces is required.

Add support for writing a custom event reader, by exposing the ring
buffer.
With the new API perf_buffer__buffer() you will get access to the
raw mmaped()'ed per-cpu underlying memory of the ring buffer.
This region contains both the perf buffer data and header
(struct perf_event_mmap_page), which manages the ring buffer
state (head/tail positions, when accessing the head/tail position
it's important to take into consideration SMP).
With this type of low level access one can implement different types of
consumers here are few simple examples where this API helps with:
1. perf_event_read_simple is allocating using malloc, perhaps you want
to handle the wrap-around in some other way.
2. Since perf buf is per-cpu then the order of the events is not
guarnteed, for example:
Given 3 events where each event has a timestamp t0 < t1 < t2,
and the events are spread on more than 1 CPU, then we can end
up with the following state in the ring buf:
CPU[0] => [t0, t2]
CPU[1] => [t1]
When you consume the events from CPU[0], you could know there is
a t1 missing, (assuming there are no drops, and your event data
contains a sequential index).
So now one can simply do the following, for CPU[0], you can store
the address of t0 and t2 in an array (without moving the tail, so
there data is not perished) then move on the CPU[1] and set the
address of t1 in the same array.
So you end up with something like:
void **arr[] = [&t0, &t1, &t2], now you can consume it orderely
and move the tails as you process in order.
3. Assuming there are multiple CPUs and we want to start draining the
messages from them, then we can "pick" with which one to start with
according to the remaining free space in the ring buffer.

Add high-level API wrappers for most common and typical BPF map
operations that works directly on instances of struct bpf_map * (so
you don't have to call bpf_map__fd()) and validate key/value size
expectations.
These helpers require users to specify key (and value, where
appropriate) sizes when performing lookup/update/delete/etc. This forces
user to actually think and validate (for themselves) those. This is
a good thing as user is expected by kernel to implicitly provide correct
key/value buffer sizes and kernel will just read/write necessary amount
of data. If it so happens that user doesn't set up buffers correctly
(which bit people for per-CPU maps especially) kernel either randomly
overwrites stack data or return -EFAULT, depending on user's luck and
circumstances. These high-level APIs are meant to prevent such
unpleasant and hard to debug bugs.
This patch also adds bpf_map_delete_elem_flags() low-level API and
requires passing flags to bpf_map__delete_elem() API for consistency
across all similar APIs, even though currently kernel doesn't expect
any extra flags for BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM operation.
List of map operations that get these high-level APIs:
- bpf_map_lookup_elem;
- bpf_map_update_elem;
- bpf_map_delete_elem;
- bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem;
- bpf_map_get_next_key.

Add bpf_map__set_autocreate() API that allows user to opt-out from
libbpf automatically creating BPF map during BPF object load.
This is a useful feature when building CO-RE-enabled BPF application
that takes advantage of some new-ish BPF map type (e.g., socket-local
storage) if kernel supports it, but otherwise uses some alternative way
(e.g., extra HASH map). In such case, being able to disable the creation
of a map that kernel doesn't support allows to successfully create and
load BPF object file with all its other maps and programs.
It's still up to user to make sure that no "live" code in any of their BPF
programs are referencing such map instance, which can be achieved by
guarding such code with CO-RE relocation check or by using .rodata
global variables.
If user fails to properly guard such code to turn it into "dead code",
libbpf will helpfully post-process BPF verifier log and will provide
more meaningful error and map name that needs to be guarded properly. As
such, instead of:
; value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&missing_map, &zero);
4: (85) call unknown#2001000000
invalid func unknown#2001000000

Wire up libbpf USDT support APIs without yet implementing all the
nitty-gritty details of USDT discovery, spec parsing, and BPF map
initialization.
User-visible user-space API is simple and is conceptually very similar
to uprobe API.
bpf_program__attach_usdt() API allows to programmatically attach given
BPF program to a USDT, specified through binary path (executable or
shared lib), USDT provider and name. Also, just like in uprobe case, PID
filter is specified (0 - self, -1 - any process, or specific PID).
Optionally, USDT cookie value can be specified. Such single API
invocation will try to discover given USDT in specified binary and will
use (potentially many) BPF uprobes to attach this program in correct
locations.
Just like any bpf_program__attach_xxx() APIs, bpf_link is returned that
represents this attachment. It is a virtual BPF link that doesn't have
direct kernel object, as it can consist of multiple underlying BPF
uprobe links. As such, attachment is not atomic operation and there can
be brief moment when some USDT call sites are attached while others are
still in the process of attaching. This should be taken into
consideration by user. But bpf_program__attach_usdt() guarantees that
in the case of success all USDT call sites are successfully attached, or
all the successfuly attachments will be detached as soon as some USDT
call sites failed to be attached. So, in theory, there could be cases of
failed bpf_program__attach_usdt() call which did trigger few USDT
program invocations. This is unavoidable due to multi-uprobe nature of
USDT and has to be handled by user, if it's important to create an
illusion of atomicity.
USDT BPF programs themselves are marked in BPF source code as either
SEC("usdt"), in which case they won't be auto-attached through
skeleton's <skel>__attach() method, or it can have a full definition,
which follows the spirit of fully-specified uprobes:
SEC("usdt/<path>:<provider>:<name>"). In the latter case skeleton's
attach method will attempt auto-attachment. Similarly, generic
bpf_program__attach() will have enought information to go off of for
parameterless attachment.
USDT BPF programs are actually uprobes, and as such for kernel they are
marked as BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE.
Another part of this patch is USDT-related feature probing:
- BPF cookie support detection from user-space;
- detection of kernel support for auto-refcounting of USDT semaphore.
The latter is optional. If kernel doesn't support such feature and USDT
doesn't rely on USDT semaphores, no error is returned. But if libbpf
detects that USDT requires setting semaphores and kernel doesn't support
this, libbpf errors out with explicit pr_warn() message. Libbpf doesn't
support poking process's memory directly to increment semaphore value,
like BCC does on legacy kernels, due to inherent raciness and danger of
such process memory manipulation. Libbpf let's kernel take care of this
properly or gives up.
Logistically, all the extra USDT-related infrastructure of libbpf is put
into a separate usdt.c file and abstracted behind struct usdt_manager.
Each bpf_object has lazily-initialized usdt_manager pointer, which is
only instantiated if USDT programs are attempted to be attached. Closing
BPF object frees up usdt_manager resources. usdt_manager keeps track of
USDT spec ID assignment and few other small things.
Subsequent patches will fill out remaining missing pieces of USDT
initialization and setup logic.

kprobe attach is name-based, using lookups of kallsyms to translate
a function name to an address. Currently uprobe attach is done
via an offset value as described in [1]. Extend uprobe opts
for attach to include a function name which can then be converted
into a uprobe-friendly offset. The calcualation is done in
several steps:
1. First, determine the symbol address using libelf; this gives us
the offset as reported by objdump
2. If the function is a shared library function - and the binary
provided is a shared library - no further work is required;
the address found is the required address
3. Finally, if the function is local, subtract the base address
associated with the object, retrieved from ELF program headers.
The resultant value is then added to the func_offset value passed
in to specify the uprobe attach address. So specifying a func_offset
of 0 along with a function name "printf" will attach to printf entry.
The modes of operation supported are then
1. to attach to a local function in a binary; function "foo1" in
"/usr/bin/foo"
2. to attach to a shared library function in a shared library -
function "malloc" in libc.

Symbols, addresses and cookies are provided through opts object
(syms/addrs/cookies) as array pointers with specified count (cnt).
Each cookie value is paired with provided function address or symbol
with the same array index.
The program can be also attached as return probe if 'retprobe' is set.
For quick usage with NULL opts argument, like:
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts(prog, "ksys_*", NULL)
the 'prog' will be attached as kprobe to 'ksys_*' functions.
Also adding new program sections for automatic attachment:
kprobe.multi/<symbol_pattern>
kretprobe.multi/<symbol_pattern>
The symbol_pattern is used as 'pattern' argument in
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function.

Allow registering and unregistering custom handlers for BPF program.
This allows user applications and libraries to plug into libbpf's
declarative SEC() definition handling logic. This allows to offload
complex and intricate custom logic into external libraries, but still
provide a great user experience.
One such example is USDT handling library, which has a lot of code and
complexity which doesn't make sense to put into libbpf directly, but it
would be really great for users to be able to specify BPF programs with
something like SEC("usdt/<path-to-binary>:<usdt_provider>:<usdt_name>")
and have correct BPF program type set (BPF_PROGRAM_TYPE_KPROBE, as it is
uprobe) and even support BPF skeleton's auto-attach logic.
In some cases, it might be even good idea to override libbpf's default
handling, like for SEC("perf_event") programs. With custom library, it's
possible to extend logic to support specifying perf event specification
right there in SEC() definition without burdening libbpf with lots of
custom logic or extra library dependecies (e.g., libpfm4). With current
patch it's possible to override libbpf's SEC("perf_event") handling and
specify a completely custom ones.
Further, it's possible to specify a generic fallback handling for any
SEC() that doesn't match any other custom or standard libbpf handlers.
This allows to accommodate whatever legacy use cases there might be, if
necessary.
See doc comments for libbpf_register_prog_handler() and
libbpf_unregister_prog_handler() for detailed semantics.
This patch also bumps libbpf development version to v0.8 and adds new
APIs there.

Not sure why these APIs were added in the first place instead of
a completely generic (and not requiring constantly adding new APIs with
each new BPF program type) bpf_program__type() and
bpf_program__set_type() APIs. But as it is right now, there are 13 such
specialized is_type/set_type APIs, while latest kernel is already at 30+
BPF program types.
Instead of completing the set of APIs and keep chasing kernel's
bpf_prog_type enum, deprecate existing subset and recommend generic
bpf_program__type() and bpf_program__set_type() APIs.

Deprecated bpf_map__resize() in favor of bpf_map__set_max_entries()
setter. In addition to having a surprising name (users often don't
realize that they need to use bpf_map__resize()), the name also implies
some magic way of resizing BPF map after it is created, which is clearly
not the case.
Another minor annoyance is that bpf_map__resize() disallows 0 value for
max_entries, which in some cases is totally acceptable (e.g., like for
BPF perf buf case to let libbpf auto-create one buffer per each
available CPU core).

Introduce 4 new netlink-based XDP APIs for attaching, detaching, and
querying XDP programs:
- bpf_xdp_attach;
- bpf_xdp_detach;
- bpf_xdp_query;
- bpf_xdp_query_id.
These APIs replace bpf_set_link_xdp_fd, bpf_set_link_xdp_fd_opts,
bpf_get_link_xdp_id, and bpf_get_link_xdp_info APIs ([0]). The latter
don't follow a consistent naming pattern and some of them use
non-extensible approaches (e.g., struct xdp_link_info which can't be
modified without breaking libbpf ABI).
The approach I took with these low-level XDP APIs is similar to what we
did with low-level TC APIs. There is a nice duality of bpf_tc_attach vs
bpf_xdp_attach, and so on. I left bpf_xdp_attach() to support detaching
when -1 is specified for prog_fd for generality and convenience, but
bpf_xdp_detach() is preferred due to clearer naming and associated
semantics. Both bpf_xdp_attach() and bpf_xdp_detach() accept the same
opts struct allowing to specify expected old_prog_fd.
While doing the refactoring, I noticed that old APIs require users to
specify opts with old_fd == -1 to declare "don't care about already
attached XDP prog fd" condition. Otherwise, FD 0 is assumed, which is
essentially never an intended behavior. So I made this behavior
consistent with other kernel and libbpf APIs, in which zero FD means "no
FD". This seems to be more in line with the latest thinking in BPF land
and should cause less user confusion, hopefully.
For querying, I left two APIs, both more generic bpf_xdp_query()
allowing to query multiple IDs and attach mode, but also
a specialization of it, bpf_xdp_query_id(), which returns only requested
prog_id. Uses of prog_id returning bpf_get_link_xdp_id() were so
prevalent across selftests and samples, that it seemed a very common use
case and using bpf_xdp_query() for doing it felt very cumbersome with
a highly branches if/else chain based on flags and attach mode.
Old APIs are scheduled for deprecation in libbpf 0.8 release.

With perf_buffer__poll() and perf_buffer__consume() APIs available,
there is no reason to expose bpf_perf_event_read_simple() API to
users. If users need custom perf buffer, they could re-implement
the function.
Mark bpf_perf_event_read_simple() and move the logic to a new
static function so it can still be called by other functions in the
same file.

Create three extensible alternatives to inconsistently named
feature-probing APIs:
- libbpf_probe_bpf_prog_type() instead of bpf_probe_prog_type();
- libbpf_probe_bpf_map_type() instead of bpf_probe_map_type();
- libbpf_probe_bpf_helper() instead of bpf_probe_helper().
Set up return values such that libbpf can report errors (e.g., if some
combination of input arguments isn't possible to validate, etc), in
addition to whether the feature is supported (return value 1) or not
supported (return value 0).
Also schedule deprecation of those three APIs. Also schedule deprecation
of bpf_probe_large_insn_limit().
Also fix all the existing detection logic for various program and map
types that never worked:
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_LIRC_MODE2;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL;
- BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS;
- BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS;
- BPF_MAP_TYPE_BLOOM_FILTER.
Above prog/map types needed special setups and detection logic to work.
Subsequent patch adds selftests that will make sure that all the
detection logic keeps working for all current and future program and map
types, avoiding otherwise inevitable bit rot.
