Update btf_parse_elf() to check if .BTF.base section is present.
The logic is as follows:
if .BTF.base section exists:
distilled_base := btf_new(.BTF.base)
if distilled_base:
btf := btf_new(.BTF, .base_btf=distilled_base)
if base_btf:
btf_relocate(btf, base_btf)
else:
btf := btf_new(.BTF)
return btf
In other words:
- if .BTF.base section exists, load BTF from it and use it as a base
for .BTF load;
- if base_btf is specified and .BTF.base section exist, relocate newly
loaded .BTF against base_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.

Drop the requirement for system-wide kernel UAPI headers to provide full
struct btf_enum64 definition. This is an unexpected requirement that
slipped in libbpf 1.0 and put unnecessary pressure ([0]) on users to have
a bleeding-edge kernel UAPI header from unreleased Linux 6.0.
To achieve this, we forward declare struct btf_enum64. But that's not
enough as there is btf_enum64_value() helper that expects to know the
layout of struct btf_enum64. So we get a bit creative with
reinterpreting memory layout as array of __u32 and accesing lo32/hi32
fields as array elements. Alternative way would be to have a local
pointer variable for anonymous struct with exactly the same layout as
struct btf_enum64, but that gets us into C++ compiler errors complaining
about invalid type casts. So play it safe, if ugly.

When old kernel does not support enum64 but user space btf
contains non-zero enum kflag or enum64, libbpf needs to
do proper sanitization so modified btf can be accepted
by the kernel.
Sanitization for enum kflag can be achieved by clearing
the kflag bit. For enum64, the type is replaced with an
union of integer member types and the integer member size
must be smaller than enum64 size. If such an integer
type cannot be found, a new type is created and used
for union members.

with already-deprecated btf_ext__reloc_{func,line}_info functions. Since
struct btf_ext is opaque to the user it was necessary to expose rec_size

btf_ext__reloc_{func,line}_info were deprecated in commit 8505e8709b5ee
("libbpf: Implement generalized .BTF.ext func/line info adjustment")
as they're not compatible with support for multiple programs per

own .btf.ext parsing to access this data, in which case the rec_size
getters are unnecessary. So deprecate them from libbpf 0.7.0 onwards.

The btf.h header included with libbpf contains inline helper functions to
check for various BTF kinds. These helpers directly reference the
BTF_KIND_* constants defined in the kernel header, and because the header
file is included in user applications, this happens in the user application
compile units.
This presents a problem if a user application is compiled on a system with
older kernel headers because the constants are not available. To avoid
this, add #defines of the constants directly in btf.h before using them.
Since the kernel header moved to an enum for BTF_KIND_*, the #defines can
shadow the enum values without any errors, so we only need #ifndef guards
for the constants that predates the conversion to enum. We group these so
there's only one guard for groups of values that were added together.

Change btf_dump__new() and corresponding struct btf_dump_ops structure
to be extensible by using OPTS "framework" ([0]). Given we don't change
the names, we use a similar approach as with bpf_prog_load(), but this
time we ended up with two APIs with the same name and same number of
arguments, so overloading based on number of arguments with
___libbpf_override() doesn't work.
Instead, use "overloading" based on types. In this particular case,
print callback has to be specified, so we detect which argument is
a callback. If it's 4th (last) argument, old implementation of API is
used by user code. If not, it must be 2nd, and thus new implementation
is selected. The rest is handled by the same symbol versioning approach.
btf_ext argument is dropped as it was never used and isn't necessary
either. If in the future we'll need btf_ext, that will be added into
OPTS-based struct btf_dump_opts.
struct btf_dump_opts is reused for both old API and new APIs. ctx field
is marked deprecated in v0.7+ and it's put at the same memory location
as OPTS's sz field. Any user of new-style btf_dump__new() will have to
set sz field and doesn't/shouldn't use ctx, as ctx is now passed along
the callback as mandatory input argument, following the other APIs in
libbpf that accept callbacks consistently.
Again, this is quite ugly in implementation, but is done in the name of
backwards compatibility and uniform and extensible future APIs (at the
same time, sigh). And it will be gone in libbpf 1.0.

btf__dedup() and struct btf_dedup_opts were added before we figured out
OPTS mechanism. As such, btf_dedup_opts is non-extensible without
breaking an ABI and potentially crashing user application.
Unfortunately, btf__dedup() and btf_dedup_opts are short and succinct
names that would be great to preserve and use going forward. So we use
___libbpf_override() macro approach, used previously for bpf_prog_load()
API, to define a new btf__dedup() variant that accepts only struct btf *
and struct btf_dedup_opts * arguments, and rename the old btf__dedup()
implementation into btf__dedup_deprecated(). This keeps both source and
binary compatibility with old and new applications.
The biggest problem was struct btf_dedup_opts, which wasn't OPTS-based,
and as such doesn't have `size_t sz;` as a first field. But btf__dedup()
is a pretty rarely used API and I believe that the only currently known
users (besides selftests) are libbpf's own bpf_linker and pahole.
Neither use case actually uses options and just passes NULL. So instead
of doing extra hacks, just rewrite struct btf_dedup_opts into OPTS-based
one, move btf_ext argument into those opts (only bpf_linker needs to
dedup btf_ext, so it's not a typical thing to specify), and drop never
used `dont_resolve_fwds` option (it was never used anywhere, AFAIK, it
makes BTF dedup much less useful and efficient).
Just in case, for old implementation, btf__dedup_deprecated(), detect
non-NULL options and error out with helpful message, to help users
migrate, if there are any user playing with btf__dedup().
The last remaining piece is dedup_table_size, which is another
anachronism from very early days of BTF dedup. Since then it has been
reduced to the only valid value, 1, to request forced hash collisions.
This is only used during testing. So instead introduce a bool flag to
force collisions explicitly.
This patch also adapts selftests to new btf__dedup() and btf_dedup_opts
use to avoid selftests breakage.

There isn't a good use case where anyone but libbpf itself needs to call
btf__finalize_data(). It was implemented for internal use and it's not
clear why it was made into public API in the first place. To function, it
requires active ELF data, which is stored inside bpf_object for the
duration of opening phase only. But the only BTF that needs bpf_object's
ELF is that bpf_object's BTF itself, which libbpf fixes up automatically
during bpf_object__open() operation anyways. There is no need for any
additional fix up and no reasonable scenario where it's useful and
appropriate.
Thus, btf__finalize_data() is just an API atavism and is better removed.
So this patch marks it as deprecated immediately (v0.6+) and moves the
code from btf.c into libbpf.c where it's used in the context of
bpf_object opening phase. Such code co-location allows to make code
structure more straightforward and remove bpf_object__section_size() and
bpf_object__variable_offset() internal helpers from libbpf_internal.h,
making them static. Their naming is also adjusted to not create
a wrong illusion that they are some sort of method of bpf_object. They
are internal helpers and are called appropriately.

Patch set [1] introduced BTF_KIND_TAG to allow tagging
declarations for struct/union, struct/union field, var, func

After BTF_KIND_TAG is introduced, we intended to use it

a type attribute. Upstream and internal discussion showed
it is not a good idea to mix declaration attribute and
type attribute. So we proposed to introduce btf_type_tag
as a type attribute and existing btf_tag renamed to
btf_decl_tag ([2]).

This API is intended to be used from tools that are generating and

it allows pahole to offload all the intricacies of BTF type copying to

Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.
As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
(LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.
Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to
include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths.
Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API
headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build
changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified
explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No
problems were detected.
Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
for now).
Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

Rename function btf__get_from_id() as btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() to
better indicate what the function does. Change the new function so that,
instead of requiring a pointer to the pointer to update and returning
with an error code, it takes a single argument (the id of the BTF
object) and returns the corresponding pointer. This is more in line with
the existing constructors.
The other tools calling the (soon-to-be) deprecated btf__get_from_id()
function will be updated in a future commit.

Add a BTF dumper for typed data, so that the user can dump a typed
version of the data provided.
The API is
int btf_dump__dump_type_data(struct btf_dump *d, __u32 id,
void *data, size_t data_sz,
const struct btf_dump_type_data_opts *opts);
...where the id is the BTF id of the data pointed to by the "void *"
argument; for example the BTF id of "struct sk_buff" for a
"struct skb *" data pointer. Options supported are
- a starting indent level (indent_lvl)
- a user-specified indent string which will be printed once per
indent level; if NULL, tab is chosen but any string <= 32 chars
can be provided.
- a set of boolean options to control dump display, similar to those
used for BPF helper bpf_snprintf_btf(). Options are
- compact : omit newlines and other indentation
- skip_names: omit member names
- emit_zeroes: show zero-value members
Default output format is identical to that dumped by bpf_snprintf_btf(),
for example a "struct sk_buff" representation would look like this:
struct sk_buff){
(union){
(struct){
.next = (struct sk_buff *)0xffffffffffffffff,
.prev = (struct sk_buff *)0xffffffffffffffff,
(union){
.dev = (struct net_device *)0xffffffffffffffff,
.dev_scratch = (long unsigned int)18446744073709551615,
},
},
...
If the data structure is larger than the *data_sz*
number of bytes that are available in *data*, as much
of the data as possible will be dumped and -E2BIG will
be returned. This is useful as tracers will sometimes
not be able to capture all of the data associated with
a type; for example a "struct task_struct" is ~16k.
Being able to specify that only a subset is available is
important for such cases. On success, the amount of data
dumped is returned.

When DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS is used with inline field initialization, e.g:
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(btf_dump_emit_type_decl_opts, opts,
.field_name = var_ident,
.indent_level = 2,
.strip_mods = strip_mods,
);
and compiled in debug mode, the compiler generates code which
leaves the padding uninitialized and triggers errors within libbpf APIs
which require strict zero initialization of OPTS structs.
Adding anonymous padding field fixes the issue.

The logic follows that of BTF_KIND_INT most of the time. Sanitization
replaces BTF_KIND_FLOATs with equally-sized empty BTF_KIND_STRUCTs on
older kernels, for example, the following:
[4] FLOAT 'float' size=4
becomes the following:
[4] STRUCT '(anon)' size=4 vlen=0
With dwarves patch [1] and this patch, the older kernels, which were
failing with the floating-point-related errors, will now start working
correctly.

Support split BTF operation, in which one BTF (base BTF) provides basic set of
types and strings, while another one (split BTF) builds on top of base's types
and strings and adds its own new types and strings. From API standpoint, the
fact that the split BTF is built on top of the base BTF is transparent.
Type numeration is transparent. If the base BTF had last type ID #N, then all
types in the split BTF start at type ID N+1. Any type in split BTF can
reference base BTF types, but not vice versa. Programmatically construction of
a split BTF on top of a base BTF is supported: one can create an empty split
BTF with btf__new_empty_split() and pass base BTF as an input, or pass raw
binary data to btf__new_split(), or use btf__parse_xxx_split() variants to get
initial set of split types/strings from the ELF file with .BTF section.
String offsets are similarly transparent and are a logical continuation of
base BTF's strings. When building BTF programmatically and adding a new string
(explicitly with btf__add_str() or implicitly through appending new
types/members), string-to-be-added would first be looked up from the base
BTF's string section and re-used if it's there. If not, it will be looked up
and/or added to the split BTF string section. Similarly to type IDs, types in
split BTF can refer to strings from base BTF absolutely transparently (but not
vice versa, of course, because base BTF doesn't "know" about existence of
split BTF).
Internal type index is slightly adjusted to be zero-indexed, ignoring a fake
[0] VOID type. This allows to handle split/base BTF type lookups transparently
by using btf->start_id type ID offset, which is always 1 for base/non-split
BTF and equals btf__get_nr_types(base_btf) + 1 for the split BTF.
BTF deduplication is not yet supported for split BTF and support for it will
be added in separate patch.

Teach BTF to recognized wrong endianness and transparently convert it
internally to host endianness. Original endianness of BTF will be preserved
and used during btf__get_raw_data() to convert resulting raw data to the same
endianness and a source raw_data. This means that little-endian host can parse
big-endian BTF with no issues, all the type data will be presented to the
client application in native endianness, but when it's time for emitting BTF
to persist it in a file (e.g., after BTF deduplication), original non-native
endianness will be preserved and stored.
It's possible to query original endianness of BTF data with new
btf__endianness() API. It's also possible to override desired output
endianness with btf__set_endianness(), so that if application needs to load,
say, big-endian BTF and store it as little-endian BTF, it's possible to
manually override this. If btf__set_endianness() was used to change
endianness, btf__endianness() will reflect overridden endianness.
Given there are no known use cases for supporting cross-endianness for
.BTF.ext, loading .BTF.ext in non-native endianness is not supported.

BTF strings are used not just for names, they can be arbitrary strings used
for CO-RE relocations, line/func infos, etc. Thus "name_by_offset" terminology
is too specific and might be misleading. Instead, introduce

Add APIs for appending new BTF types at the end of BTF object.
Each BTF kind has either one API of the form btf__add_<kind>(). For types
that have variable amount of additional items (struct/union, enum, func_proto,
datasec), additional API is provided to emit each such item. E.g., for
emitting a struct, one would use the following sequence of API calls:
btf__add_struct(...);
btf__add_field(...);
...
btf__add_field(...);
Each btf__add_field() will ensure that the last BTF type is of STRUCT or
UNION kind and will automatically increment that type's vlen field.
All the strings are provided as C strings (const char *), not a string offset.
This significantly improves usability of BTF writer APIs. All such strings
will be automatically appended to string section or existing string will be
re-used, if such string was already added previously.
Each API attempts to do all the reasonable validations, like enforcing
non-empty names for entities with required names, proper value bounds, various
bit offset restrictions, etc.
Type ID validation is minimal because it's possible to emit a type that refers
to type that will be emitted later, so libbpf has no way to enforce such
cases. User must be careful to properly emit all the necessary types and
specify type IDs that will be valid in the finally generated BTF.
Each of btf__add_<kind>() APIs return new type ID on success or negative
value on error. APIs like btf__add_field() that emit additional items
return zero on success and negative value on error.

Allow internal BTF representation to switch from default read-only mode, in
which raw BTF data is a single non-modifiable block of memory with BTF header,
types, and strings layed out sequentially and contiguously in memory, into
a writable representation with types and strings data split out into separate
memory regions, that can be dynamically expanded.
Such writable internal representation is transparent to users of libbpf APIs,
but allows to append new types and strings at the end of BTF, which is
a typical use case when generating BTF programmatically. All the basic
guarantees of BTF types and strings layout is preserved, i.e., user can get
`struct btf_type *` pointer and read it directly. Such btf_type pointers might
be invalidated if BTF is modified, so some care is required in such mixed
read/write scenarios.
Switch from read-only to writable configuration happens automatically the
first time when user attempts to modify BTF by either adding a new type or new
string. It is still possible to get raw BTF data, which is a single piece of
memory that can be persisted in ELF section or into a file as raw BTF. Such
raw data memory is also still owned by BTF and will be freed either when BTF
object is freed or if another modification to BTF happens, as any modification
invalidates BTF raw representation.
This patch adds the first two BTF manipulation APIs: btf__add_str(), which
allows to add arbitrary strings to BTF string section, and btf__find_str()
which allows to find existing string offset, but not add it if it's missing.
All the added strings are automatically deduplicated. This is achieved by
maintaining an additional string lookup index for all unique strings. Such
index is built when BTF is switched to modifiable mode. If at that time BTF
strings section contained duplicate strings, they are not de-duplicated. This
is done specifically to not modify the existing content of BTF (types, their
string offsets, etc), which can cause confusion and is especially important
property if there is struct btf_ext associated with struct btf. By following
this "imperfect deduplication" process, btf_ext is kept consitent and correct.
If deduplication of strings is necessary, it can be forced by doing BTF
deduplication, at which point all the strings will be eagerly deduplicated and
all string offsets both in struct btf and struct btf_ext will be updated.

With libbpf and BTF it is pretty common to have libbpf built for one
architecture, while BTF information was generated for a different architecture
(typically, but not always, BPF). In such case, the size of a pointer might
differ betweem architectures. libbpf previously was always making an
assumption that pointer size for BTF is the same as native architecture
pointer size, but that breaks for cases where libbpf is built as 32-bit
library, while BTF is for 64-bit architecture.
To solve this, add heuristic to determine pointer size by searching for `long`
or `unsigned long` integer type and using its size as a pointer size. Also,
allow to override the pointer size with a new API btf__set_pointer_size(), for
cases where application knows which pointer size should be used. User
application can check what libbpf "guessed" by looking at the result of
btf__pointer_size(). If it's not 0, then libbpf successfully determined a
pointer size, otherwise native arch pointer size will be used.
For cases where BTF is parsed from ELF file, use ELF's class (32-bit or
64-bit) to determine pointer size.

One important use case when emitting const/volatile/restrict is undesirable is
BPF skeleton generation of DATASEC layout. These are further memory-mapped and
can be written/read from user-space directly.
For important case of .rodata variables, bpftool strips away first-level
modifiers, to make their use on user-space side simple and not requiring extra
type casts to override compiler complaining about writing to const variables.
This logic works mostly fine, but breaks in some more complicated cases. E.g.:
const volatile int params[10];
Because in BTF it's a chain of ARRAY -> CONST -> VOLATILE -> INT, bpftool
stops at ARRAY and doesn't strip CONST and VOLATILE. In skeleton this variable
will be emitted as is. So when used from user-space, compiler will complain
about writing to const array. This is problematic, as also mentioned in [0].
To solve this for arrays and other non-trivial cases (e.g., inner
const/volatile fields inside the struct), teach btf_dump to strip away any
modifier, when requested. This is done as an extra option on
btf_dump__emit_type_decl() API.
