libbpf_err_ptr() helpers are meant to return NULL and set errno, if
there is an error. But btf_parse_raw_mmap() is meant to be used
internally and is expected to return ERR_PTR() values. Because of this
mismatch, when libbpf tries to mmap /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux, we don't
detect the error correctly with IS_ERR() check, and never fallback to
old non-mmap-based way of loading vmlinux BTF.
Fix this by using proper ERR_PTR() returns internally.

libbpf handling of split BTF has been written largely with the
assumption that multiple splits are possible, i.e. split BTF on top of
split BTF on top of base BTF. One area where this does not quite work
is string handling in split BTF; the start string offset should be the
base BTF string section length + the base BTF string offset. This
worked in the past because for a single split BTF with base the start
string offset was always 0.

BTF dedup has a strong assumption that compiler with deduplicate identical
types within any given compilation unit (i.e., .c file). This property
is used when establishing equilvalence of two subgraphs of types.
Unfortunately, this property doesn't always holds in practice. We've
seen cases of having truly identical structs, unions, array definitions,
and, most recently, even pointers to the same type being duplicated
within CU.
Previously, we mitigated this on a case-by-case basis, adding a few
simple heuristics for validating that two BTF types (having two
different type IDs) are structurally the same. But this approach scales
poorly, and we can have more weird cases come up in the future.
So let's take a half-step back, and implement a bit more generic
structural equivalence check, recursively. We still limit it to
reasonable depth to avoid long reference loops. Depth-wise limiting of
potentially cyclical graph isn't great, but as I mentioned below doesn't
seem to be detrimental performance-wise. We can always improve this in
the future with per-type visited markers, if necessary.
Performance-wise this doesn't seem too affect vmlinux BTF dedup, which
makes sense because this logic kicks in not so frequently and only if we
already established a canonical candidate type match, but suddenly find
a different (but probably identical) type.

Recently as a side-effect of
commit ac053946f5 ("compiler.h: introduce TYPEOF_UNQUAL() macro")
issues were observed in deduplication between modules and kernel BTF
such that a large number of kernel types were not deduplicated so
were found in module BTF (task_struct, bpf_prog etc). The root cause
appeared to be a failure to dedup struct types, specifically those
with members that were pointers with __percpu annotations.
The issue in dedup is at the point that we are deduplicating structures,
we have not yet deduplicated reference types like pointers. If multiple
copies of a pointer point at the same (deduplicated) integer as in this
case, we do not see them as identical. Special handling already exists
to deal with structures and arrays, so add pointer handling here too.

When upgrading to libbpf 1.3 we noticed a big performance hit while
loading programs using CORE on non base-BTF symbols. This was tracked
down to the new BTF sanity check logic. The issue is the base BTF
definitions are checked first for the base BTF and then again for every
module BTF.
Loading 5 dummy programs (using libbpf-rs) that are using CORE on a
non-base BTF symbol on my system:
- Before this fix: 3s.
- With this fix: 0.1s.
Fix this by only checking the types starting at the BTF start id. This
should ensure the base BTF is still checked as expected but only once
(btf->start_id == 1 when creating the base BTF), and then only
additional types are checked for each module BTF.

Map distilled base BTF type ids referenced in split BTF and their
references to the base BTF passed in, and if the mapping succeeds,
reparent the split BTF to the base BTF.
Relocation is done by first verifying that distilled base BTF
only consists of named INT, FLOAT, ENUM, FWD, STRUCT and
UNION kinds; then we sort these to speed lookups. Once sorted,
the base BTF is iterated, and for each relevant kind we check
for an equivalent in distilled base BTF. When found, the
mapping from distilled -> base BTF id and string offset is recorded.
In establishing mappings, we need to ensure we check STRUCT/UNION
size when the STRUCT/UNION is embedded in a split BTF STRUCT/UNION,
and when duplicate names exist for the same STRUCT/UNION. Otherwise
size is ignored in matching STRUCT/UNIONs.
Once all mappings are established, we can update type ids
and string offsets in split BTF and reparent it to the new base.

To support more robust split BTF, adding supplemental context for the
base BTF type ids that split BTF refers to is required. Without such
references, a simple shuffling of base BTF type ids (without any other
significant change) invalidates the split BTF. Here the attempt is made
to store additional context to make split BTF more robust.
This context comes in the form of distilled base BTF providing minimal
information (name and - in some cases - size) for base INTs, FLOATs,
STRUCTs, UNIONs, ENUMs and ENUM64s along with modified split BTF that
points at that base and contains any additional types needed (such as
TYPEDEF, PTR and anonymous STRUCT/UNION declarations). This
information constitutes the minimal BTF representation needed to
disambiguate or remove split BTF references to base BTF. The rules
are as follows:
- INT, FLOAT, FWD are recorded in full.
- if a named base BTF STRUCT or UNION is referred to from split BTF, it
will be encoded as a zero-member sized STRUCT/UNION (preserving
size for later relocation checks). Only base BTF STRUCT/UNIONs
that are either embedded in split BTF STRUCT/UNIONs or that have
multiple STRUCT/UNION instances of the same name will _need_ size
checks at relocation time, but as it is possible a different set of
types will be duplicates in the later to-be-resolved base BTF,
we preserve size information for all named STRUCT/UNIONs.
- if an ENUM[64] is named, a ENUM forward representation (an ENUM
with no values) of the same size is used.
- in all other cases, the type is added to the new split BTF.
Avoiding struct/union/enum/enum64 expansion is important to keep the
distilled base BTF representation to a minimum size.
When successful, new representations of the distilled base BTF and new
split BTF that refers to it are returned. Both need to be freed by the
caller.
So to take a simple example, with split BTF with a type referring
to "struct sk_buff", we will generate distilled base BTF with a
0-member STRUCT sk_buff of the appropriate size, and the split BTF
will refer to it instead.
Tools like pahole can utilize such split BTF to populate the .BTF
section (split BTF) and an additional .BTF.base section. Then
when the split BTF is loaded, the distilled base BTF can be used
to relocate split BTF to reference the current (and possibly changed)
base BTF.
So for example if "struct sk_buff" was id 502 when the split BTF was
originally generated, we can use the distilled base BTF to see that
id 502 refers to a "struct sk_buff" and replace instances of id 502
with the current (relocated) base BTF sk_buff type id.
Distilled base BTF is small; when building a kernel with all modules
using distilled base BTF as a test, overall module size grew by only
5.3Mb total across ~2700 modules.

Implement iterator-based type ID and string offset BTF field iterator.
This is used extensively in BTF-handling code and BPF linker code for
various sanity checks, rewriting IDs/offsets, etc. Currently this is
implemented as visitor pattern calling custom callbacks, which makes the
logic (especially in simple cases) unnecessarily obscure and harder to
follow.
Having equivalent functionality using iterator pattern makes for simpler
to understand and maintain code. As we add more code for BTF processing
logic in libbpf, it's best to switch to iterator pattern before adding
more callback-based code.
The idea for iterator-based implementation is to record offsets of
necessary fields within fixed btf_type parts (which should be iterated
just once), and, for kinds that have multiple members (based on vlen
field), record where in each member necessary fields are located.
Generic iteration code then just keeps track of last offset that was
returned and handles N members correctly. Return type is just u32
pointer, where NULL is returned when all relevant fields were already
iterated.

Add BPF token support to BPF object-level functionality.
BPF token is supported by BPF object logic either as an explicitly
provided BPF token from outside (through BPF FS path), or implicitly
(unless prevented through bpf_object_open_opts).
Implicit mode is assumed to be the most common one for user namespaced
unprivileged workloads. The assumption is that privileged container
manager sets up default BPF FS mount point at /sys/fs/bpf with BPF token
delegation options (delegate_{cmds,maps,progs,attachs} mount options).
BPF object during loading will attempt to create BPF token from
/sys/fs/bpf location, and pass it for all relevant operations
(currently, map creation, BTF load, and program load).
In this implicit mode, if BPF token creation fails due to whatever
reason (BPF FS is not mounted, or kernel doesn't support BPF token,
etc), this is not considered an error. BPF object loading sequence will
proceed with no BPF token.
In explicit BPF token mode, user provides explicitly custom BPF FS mount
point path. In such case, BPF object will attempt to create BPF token
from provided BPF FS location. If BPF token creation fails, that is
considered a critical error and BPF object load fails with an error.
Libbpf provides a way to disable implicit BPF token creation, if it
causes any troubles (BPF token is designed to be completely optional and
shouldn't cause any problems even if provided, but in the world of BPF
LSM, custom security logic can be installed that might change outcome
depending on the presence of BPF token). To disable libbpf's default BPF
token creation behavior user should provide either invalid BPF token FD
(negative), or empty bpf_token_path option.
BPF token presence can influence libbpf's feature probing, so if BPF
object has associated BPF token, feature probing is instructed to use
BPF object-specific feature detection cache and token FD.

this means to add "e" to mode string, which is supported since pretty
ancient glibc v2.7.
Also drop the outdated TODO comment in usdt.c, which was already completed.

btf__align_of() is supposed to be return alignment requirement of
a requested BTF type. For STRUCT/UNION it doesn't always return correct
value, because it calculates alignment only based on field types. But
for packed structs this is not enough, we need to also check field
offsets and struct size. If field offset isn't aligned according to
field type's natural alignment, then struct must be packed. Similarly,
if struct size is not a multiple of struct's natural alignment, then
struct must be packed as well.
This patch fixes this issue precisely by additionally checking these
conditions.

Resolve forward declarations that don't take part in type graphs
comparisons if declaration name is unambiguous. Example:
CU #1:
struct foo; // standalone forward declaration
struct foo *some_global;
CU #2:
struct foo { int x; };
struct foo *another_global;
The `struct foo` from CU #1 is not a part of any definition that is
compared against another definition while `btf_dedup_struct_types`
processes structural types. The the BTF after `btf_dedup_struct_types`
the BTF looks as follows:
[1] STRUCT 'foo' size=4 vlen=1 ...
[2] INT 'int' size=4 ...
[3] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1
[4] FWD 'foo' fwd_kind=struct
[5] PTR '(anon)' type_id=4
This commit adds a new pass `btf_dedup_resolve_fwds`, that maps such
forward declarations to structs or unions with identical name in case
if the name is not ambiguous.
The pass is positioned before `btf_dedup_ref_types` so that types
[3] and [5] could be merged as a same type after [1] and [4] are merged.
The final result for the example above looks as follows:
[1] STRUCT 'foo' size=4 vlen=1
'x' type_id=2 bits_offset=0
[2] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
[3] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1
For defconfig kernel with BTF enabled this removes 63 forward
declarations. Examples of removed declarations: `pt_regs`, `in6_addr`.
The running time of `btf__dedup` function is increased by about 3%.

An update for libbpf's hashmap interface from void* -> void* to a
polymorphic one, allowing both long and void* keys and values.
This simplifies many use cases in libbpf as hashmaps there are mostly
integer to integer.
Perf copies hashmap implementation from libbpf and has to be
updated as well.
Changes to libbpf, selftests/bpf and perf are packed as a single
commit to avoid compilation issues with any future bisect.
Polymorphic interface is acheived by hiding hashmap interface
functions behind auxiliary macros that take care of necessary
type casts, for example:
#define hashmap_cast_ptr(p) \
({ \
_Static_assert((p) == NULL || sizeof(*(p)) == sizeof(long),\
#p " pointee should be a long-sized integer or a pointer"); \
(long *)(p); \
})
bool hashmap_find(const struct hashmap *map, long key, long *value);
#define hashmap__find(map, key, value) \
hashmap_find((map), (long)(key), hashmap_cast_ptr(value))
- hashmap__find macro casts key and value parameters to long
and long* respectively
- hashmap_cast_ptr ensures that value pointer points to a memory
of appropriate size.
This hack was suggested by Andrii Nakryiko in [1].
This is a follow up for [2].

Changes de-duplication logic for enums in the following way:
- update btf_hash_enum to ignore size and kind fields to get
ENUM and ENUM64 types in a same hash bucket;
- update btf_compat_enum to consider enum fwd to be compatible with
full enum64 (and vice versa);
This allows BTF de-duplication in the following case:
// CU #1
enum foo;
struct s {
enum foo *a;
} *x;
// CU #2
enum foo {
x = 0xfffffffff // big enough to force enum64
};
struct s {
enum foo *a;
} *y;
De-duplicated BTF prior to this commit:
[1] ENUM64 'foo' encoding=UNSIGNED size=8 vlen=1
'x' val=68719476735ULL
[2] INT 'long unsigned int' size=8 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=64
encoding=(none)
[3] STRUCT 's' size=8 vlen=1
'a' type_id=4 bits_offset=0
[4] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1
[5] PTR '(anon)' type_id=3
[6] STRUCT 's' size=8 vlen=1
'a' type_id=8 bits_offset=0
[7] ENUM 'foo' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=0
[8] PTR '(anon)' type_id=7
[9] PTR '(anon)' type_id=6
De-duplicated BTF after this commit:
[1] ENUM64 'foo' encoding=UNSIGNED size=8 vlen=1
'x' val=68719476735ULL
[2] INT 'long unsigned int' size=8 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=64
encoding=(none)
[3] STRUCT 's' size=8 vlen=1
'a' type_id=4 bits_offset=0
[4] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1
[5] PTR '(anon)' type_id=3
Enum forward declarations in C do not provide information about
enumeration values range. Thus the `btf_type->size` field is
meaningless for forward enum declarations. In fact, GCC does not
encode size in DWARF for forward enum declarations
(but dwarves sets enumeration size to a default value of `sizeof(int) * 8`
when size is not specified see dwarf_loader.c:die__create_new_enumeration).

When examining module BTF, it is common to see core kernel structures
such as sk_buff, net_device duplicated in the module. After adding
debug messaging to BTF it turned out that much of the problem
was down to the identical struct test failing during deduplication;
sometimes the compiler adds identical structs. However
it turns out sometimes that type ids of identical struct members
can also differ, even when the containing structs are still identical.
To take an example, for struct sk_buff, debug messaging revealed
that the identical struct matching was failing for the anon
struct "headers"; specifically for the first field:
__u8 __pkt_type_offset[0]; /* 128 0 */
Looking at the code in BTF deduplication, we have code that guards
against the possibility of identical struct definitions, down to
type ids, and identical array definitions. However in this case
we have a struct which is being defined twice but does not have
identical type ids since each duplicate struct has separate type
ids for the above array member. A similar problem (though not
observed) could occur for struct-in-struct.
The solution is to make the "identical struct" test check members
not just for matching ids, but to also check if they in turn are
identical structs or arrays.
The results of doing this are quite dramatic (for some modules
at least); I see the number of type ids drop from around 10000
to just over 1000 in one module for example.
For testing use latest pahole or apply [1], otherwise dedups
can fail for the reasons described there.
Also fix return type of btf_dedup_identical_arrays() as
suggested by Andrii to match boolean return type used
elsewhere.

When running rootless with special capabilities like:
FOWNER / DAC_OVERRIDE / DAC_READ_SEARCH
The "access" API will not make the proper check if there is really
access to a file or not.
>From the access man page:
"
The check is done using the calling process's real UID and GID, rather
than the effective IDs as is done when actually attempting an operation
(e.g., open(2)) on the file. Similarly, for the root user, the check
uses the set of permitted capabilities rather than the set of effective
capabilities; ***and for non-root users, the check uses an empty set of
capabilities.***
"
What that means is that for non-root user the access API will not do the
proper validation if the process really has permission to a file or not.
To resolve this this patch replaces all the access API calls with
faccessat with AT_EACCESS flag.

Currently, the default vmlinux files at '/boot/vmlinux-*',
'/lib/modules/*/vmlinux-*' etc. are parsed with 'btf__parse_elf()' to
extract BTF. It is possible that these files are actually raw BTF files
similar to /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux. So parse these files with
'btf__parse' which tries both raw format and ELF format.
This might be useful in some scenarios where users put their custom BTF
into known locations and don't want to specify btf_custom_path option.
