__BYTE_ORDER is supposed to be defined by a libc, and __BYTE_ORDER__ -
by a compiler. bpf_core_read.h checks __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN,
which is true if neither are defined, leading to incorrect behavior on
big-endian hosts if libc headers are not included, which is often the
case.

Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
Add libbpf APIs to access BPF program instructions. Both before and after
libbpf processing (before and after bpf_object__load()). This allows to
inspect what's going on with BPF program assembly instructions as libbpf
performs its processing magic.
But in more practical terms, this allows to do a no-brainer BPF program
cloning, which is something you need when working with fentry/fexit BPF
programs to be able to attach the same BPF program code to multiple kernel
functions. Currently, kernel needs multiple copies of BPF programs, each
loaded with its own target BTF ID. retsnoop is one such example that
previously had to rely on bpf_program__set_prep() API to hijack program
instructions ([0] for before and after).
Speaking of bpf_program__set_prep() API and the whole concept of
multiple-instance BPF programs in libbpf, all that is scheduled for
deprecation in v0.7. It doesn't work well, it's cumbersome, and it will become
more broken as libbpf adds more functionality. So deprecate and remove it in
libbpf 1.0. It doesn't seem to be used by anyone anyways (except for that
retsnoop hack, which is now much cleaner with new APIs as can be seen in [0]).

The name of the API doesn't convey clearly that this size is in number
of bytes (there needed to be a separate comment to make this clear in
libbpf.h). Further, measuring the size of BPF program in bytes is not
exactly the best fit, because BPF programs always consist of 8-byte
instructions. As such, bpf_program__insn_cnt() is a better alternative
in pretty much any imaginable case.
So schedule bpf_program__size() deprecation starting from v0.7 and it
will be removed in libbpf 1.0.

Schedule deprecation of a set of APIs that are related to multi-instance
bpf_programs:
- bpf_program__set_prep() ([0]);
- bpf_program__{set,unset}_instance() ([1]);
- bpf_program__nth_fd().
These APIs are obscure, very niche, and don't seem to be used much in
practice. bpf_program__set_prep() is pretty useless for anything but the
simplest BPF programs, as it doesn't allow to adjust BPF program load
attributes, among other things. In short, it already bitrotted and will
bitrot some more if not removed.
With bpf_program__insns() API, which gives access to post-processed BPF
program instructions of any given entry-point BPF program, it's now
possible to do whatever necessary adjustments were possible with
set_prep() API before, but also more. Given any such use case is
automatically an advanced use case, requiring users to stick to
low-level bpf_prog_load() APIs and managing their own prog FDs is
reasonable.

Add APIs providing read-only access to bpf_program BPF instructions ([0]).
This is useful for diagnostics purposes, but it also allows a cleaner
support for cloning BPF programs after libbpf did all the FD resolution
and CO-RE relocations, subprog instructions appending, etc. Currently,
cloning BPF program is possible only through hijacking a half-broken
bpf_program__set_prep() API, which doesn't really work well for anything
but most primitive programs. For instance, set_prep() API doesn't allow
adjusting BPF program load parameters which are necessary for loading
fentry/fexit BPF programs (the case where BPF program cloning is
a necessity if doing some sort of mass-attachment functionality).
Given bpf_program__set_prep() API is set to be deprecated, having
a cleaner alternative is a must. libbpf internally already keeps track
of linear array of struct bpf_insn, so it's not hard to expose it. The
only gotcha is that libbpf previously freed instructions array during
bpf_object load time, which would make this API much less useful overall,
because in between bpf_object__open() and bpf_object__load() a lot of
changes to instructions are done by libbpf.
So this patch makes libbpf hold onto prog->insns array even after BPF
program loading. I think this is a small price for added functionality
and improved introspection of BPF program code.
See retsnoop PR ([1]) for how it can be used in practice and code
savings compared to relying on bpf_program__set_prep().

====================
When listing BPF objects, bpftool can print a number of properties about
items holding references to these objects. For example, it can show pinned
paths for BPF programs, maps, and links; or programs and maps using a given
BTF object; or the names and PIDs of processes referencing BPF objects. To
collect this information, bpftool uses hash maps (to be clear: the data
structures, inside bpftool - we are not talking of BPF maps). It uses the
implementation available from the kernel, and picks it up from
tools/include/linux/hashtable.h.
This patchset converts bpftool's hash maps to a distinct implementation
instead, the one coming with libbpf. The main motivation for this change is
that it should ease the path towards a potential out-of-tree mirror for
bpftool, like the one libbpf already has. Although it's not perfect to
depend on libbpf's internal components, bpftool is intimately tied with the
library anyway, and this looks better than depending too much on (non-UAPI)
kernel headers.
The first two patches contain preparatory work on the Makefile and on the
initialisation of the hash maps for collecting pinned paths for objects.
Then the transition is split into several steps, one for each kind of
properties for which the collection is backed by hash maps.
v2:
- Move hashmap cleanup for pinned paths for links from do_detach() to
do_show().
- Handle errors on hashmap__append() (in three of the patches).
- Rename bpftool_hash_fn() and bpftool_equal_fn() as hash_fn_for_key_id()
and equal_fn_for_key_id(), respectively.
- Add curly braces for hashmap__for_each_key_entry() { } in
show_btf_plain() and show_btf_json(), where the flow was difficult to
read.

In order to show PIDs and names for processes holding references to BPF
programs, maps, links, or BTF objects, bpftool creates hash maps to
store all relevant information. This commit is part of a set that
transitions from the kernel's hash map implementation to the one coming
with libbpf.
The motivation is to make bpftool less dependent of kernel headers, to
ease the path to a potential out-of-tree mirror, like libbpf has.
This is the third and final step of the transition, in which we convert
the hash maps used for storing the information about the processes
holding references to BPF objects (programs, maps, links, BTF), and at
last we drop the inclusion of tools/include/linux/hashtable.h.
Note: Checkpatch complains about the use of __weak declarations, and the
missing empty lines after the bunch of empty function declarations when
compiling without the BPF skeletons (none of these were introduced in
this patch). We want to keep things as they are, and the reports should
be safe to ignore.

In order to show pinned paths for BPF programs, maps, or links when
listing them with the "-f" option, bpftool creates hash maps to store
all relevant paths under the bpffs. So far, it would rely on the
kernel implementation (from tools/include/linux/hashtable.h).
We can make bpftool rely on libbpf's implementation instead. The
motivation is to make bpftool less dependent of kernel headers, to ease
the path to a potential out-of-tree mirror, like libbpf has.
This commit is the first step of the conversion: the hash maps for
pinned paths for programs, maps, and links are converted to libbpf's
hashmap.{c,h}. Other hash maps used for the PIDs of process holding
references to BPF objects are left unchanged for now. On the build side,
this requires adding a dependency to a second header internal to libbpf,
and making it a dependency for the bootstrap bpftool version as well.
The rest of the changes are a rather straightforward conversion.

BPF programs, maps, and links, can all be listed with their pinned paths
by bpftool, when the "-f" option is provided. To do so, bpftool builds
hash maps containing all pinned paths for each kind of objects.
These three hash maps are always initialised in main.c, and exposed
through main.h. There appear to be no particular reason to do so: we can
just as well make them static to the files that need them (prog.c,
map.c, and link.c respectively), and initialise them only when we want
to show objects and the "-f" switch is provided.
This may prevent unnecessary memory allocations if the implementation of
the hash maps was to change in the future.

The dependency is only useful to make sure that the $(LIBBPF_HDRS_DIR)
directory is created before we try to install locally the required
libbpf internal header. Let's create this directory properly instead.
This is in preparation of making $(LIBBPF_INTERNAL_HDRS) a dependency to
the bootstrap bpftool version, in which case we want no dependency on
$(LIBBPF).

Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
Reduce amount of waiting time when running test_progs in parallel mode (-j) by
splitting bpf_verif_scale selftests into multiple tests. Previously it was
structured as a test with multiple subtests, but subtests are not easily
parallelizable with test_progs' infra. Also in practice each scale subtest is
really an independent test with nothing shared across all substest.
This patch set changes how test_progs test discovery works. Now it is possible
to define multiple tests within a single source code file. One of the patches
also marks tc_redirect selftests as serial, because it's extremely harmful to
the test system when run in parallel mode.

Instead of using subtests in bpf_verif_scale selftest, turn each scale
sub-test into its own test. Each subtest is compltely independent and
just reuses a bit of common test running logic, so the conversion is
trivial. For convenience, keep all of BPF verifier scale tests in one
file.
This conversion shaves off a significant amount of time when running
test_progs in parallel mode. E.g., just running scale tests (-t verif_scale):

Bpftool creates a new JSON object for writing program metadata in plain
text mode, regardless of metadata being present or not. Then this writer
is freed if any metadata has been found and printed, but it leaks
otherwise. We cannot destroy the object unconditionally, because the
destructor prints an undesirable line break. Instead, make sure the
writer is created only after we have found program metadata to print.

Add btf__type_cnt() and btf__raw_data() APIs and deprecate
btf__get_nr_type() and btf__get_raw_data() since the old APIs
don't follow the libbpf naming convention for getters which
omit 'get' in the name (see [0]). btf__raw_data() is just an
alias to the existing btf__get_raw_data(). btf__type_cnt()
now returns the number of all types of the BTF object
including 'void'.

Recent change to use tp/syscalls/sys_enter_nanosleep for perf_buffer
selftests causes this selftest to fail on 4.9 kernel in libbpf CI ([0]):
libbpf: prog 'handle_sys_enter': failed to attach to perf_event FD 6: Invalid argument
libbpf: prog 'handle_sys_enter': failed to attach to tracepoint 'syscalls/sys_enter_nanosleep': Invalid argument
It's not exactly clear why, because perf_event itself is created for
this tracepoint, but I can't even compile 4.9 kernel locally, so it's
hard to figure this out. If anyone has better luck and would like to
help investigating this, I'd really appreciate this.
For now, unblock CI by switching back to raw_syscalls/sys_enter, but reduce
amount of unnecessary samples emitted by filter by process ID. Use
explicit ARRAY map for that to make it work on 4.9 as well, because
global data isn't yet supported there.

Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
This patch set refactors internals of libbpf to enable support for multiple
custom .rodata.* and .data.* sections. Each such section is backed by its own
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, memory-mappable just like .rodata/.data. This is not
extended to .bss because .bss is not a great name, it is generated by compiler
with name that reflects completely irrelevant historical implementation
details. Given that users have to annotate their variables with
SEC(".data.my_sec") explicitly, standardizing on .rodata. and .data. prefixes
makes more sense and keeps things simpler.
Additionally, this patch set makes it simpler to work with those special
internal maps by allowing to look them up by their full ELF section name.
Patch #1 is a preparatory patch that deprecates one libbpf API and moves
custom logic into libbpf.c, where it's used. This code is later refactored
with the rest of libbpf.c logic to support multiple data section maps.
See individual patches for all the details.
For new custom "dot maps", their full ELF section names are used as the names
that are sent into the kernel. Object name isn't prepended like for
.data/.rodata/.bss. The reason is that with longer custom names, there isn't
much space left for object name anyways. Also, if BTF is supported,
btf_value_type_id points to DATASEC BTF type, which contains full original ELF
name of the section, so tools like bpftool could use that to recover full
name. This patch set doesn't add this logic yet, this is left for follow up
patches.
One interesting possibility that is now open by these changes is that it's
possible to do:
bpf_trace_printk("My fmt %s", sizeof("My fmt %s"), "blah");
and it will work as expected. I haven't updated libbpf-provided helpers in
bpf_helpers.h for snprintf, seq_printf, and printk, because using
`static const char ___fmt[] = fmt;` trick is still efficient and doesn't fill
out the buffer at runtime (no copying). But we might consider updating them in
the future, especially with the array check that Kumar proposed (see [0]).

v1->v2:
- don't prepend object name for new dot maps;
- add __read_mostly example in selftests (Daniel).

Utilize libbpf's feature of allowing to lookup internal maps by their
ELF section names. No need to guess or calculate the exact truncated
prefix taken from the object name.

Map name that's assigned to internal maps (.rodata, .data, .bss, etc)
consist of a small prefix of bpf_object's name and ELF section name as
a suffix. This makes it hard for users to "guess" the name to use for
looking up by name with bpf_object__find_map_by_name() API.
One proposal was to drop object name prefix from the map name and just
use ".rodata", ".data", etc, names. One downside called out was that
when multiple BPF applications are active on the host, it will be hard
to distinguish between multiple instances of .rodata and know which BPF
object (app) they belong to. Having few first characters, while quite
limiting, still can give a bit of a clue, in general.
Note, though, that btf_value_type_id for such global data maps (ARRAY)
points to DATASEC type, which encodes full ELF name, so tools like
bpftool can take advantage of this fact to "recover" full original name
of the map. This is also the reason why for custom .data.* and .rodata.*
maps libbpf uses only their ELF names and doesn't prepend object name at
all.
Another downside of such approach is that it is not backwards compatible
and, among direct use of bpf_object__find_map_by_name() API, will break
any BPF skeleton generated using bpftool that was compiled with older
libbpf version.
Instead of causing all this pain, libbpf will still generate map name
using a combination of object name and ELF section name, but it will
allow looking such maps up by their natural names, which correspond to
their respective ELF section names. This means non-truncated ELF section
names longer than 15 characters are going to be expected and supported.
With such set up, we get the best of both worlds: leave small bits of
a clue about BPF application that instantiated such maps, as well as
making it easy for user apps to lookup such maps at runtime. In this
sense it closes corresponding libbpf 1.0 issue ([0]).
BPF skeletons will continue using full names for lookups.

Add support for having multiple .rodata and .data data sections ([0]).
.rodata/.data are supported like the usual, but now also
.rodata.<whatever> and .data.<whatever> are also supported. Each such
section will get its own backing BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, just like
.rodata and .data.
Multiple .bss maps are not supported, as the whole '.bss' name is
confusing and might be deprecated soon, as well as user would need to
specify custom ELF section with SEC() attribute anyway, so might as well
stick to just .data.* and .rodata.* convention.
User-visible map name for such new maps is going to be just their ELF
section names.

It can happen that some data sections (e.g., .rodata.cst16, containing
compiler populated string constants) won't have a corresponding BTF
DATASEC type. Now that libbpf supports .rodata.* and .data.* sections,
situation like that will cause invalid BPF skeleton to be generated that
won't compile successfully, as some parts of skeleton would assume
memory-mapped struct definitions for each special data section.
Fix this by generating empty struct definitions for such data sections.

Remove the assumption about only single instance of each of .rodata and
.data internal maps. Nothing changes for '.rodata' and '.data' maps, but new
'.rodata.something' map will get 'rodata_something' section in BPF

section with the same field name).

Remove internal libbpf assumption that there can be only one .rodata,
.data, and .bss map per BPF object. To achieve that, extend and
generalize the scheme that was used for keeping track of relocation ELF
sections. Now each ELF section has a temporary extra index that keeps
track of logical type of ELF section (relocations, data, read-only data,
BSS). Switch relocation to this scheme, as well as .rodata/.data/.bss
handling.
We don't yet allow multiple .rodata, .data, and .bss sections, but no
libbpf internal code makes an assumption that there can be only one of
each and thus they can be explicitly referenced by a single index. Next
patches will actually allow multiple .rodata and .data sections.

Minimize the usage of class-agnostic gelf_xxx() APIs from libelf. These
APIs require copying ELF data structures into local GElf_xxx structs and
have a more cumbersome API. BPF ELF file is defined to be always 64-bit
ELF object, even when intended to be run on 32-bit host architectures,
so there is no need to do class-agnostic conversions everywhere. BPF
static linker implementation within libbpf has been using Elf64-specific
types since initial implementation.
Add two simple helpers, elf_sym_by_idx() and elf_rel_by_idx(), for more
succinct direct access to ELF symbol and relocation records within ELF
data itself and switch all the GElf_xxx usage into Elf64_xxx
equivalents. The only remaining place within libbpf.c that's still using
gelf API is gelf_getclass(), as there doesn't seem to be a direct way to
get underlying ELF bitness.
No functional changes intended.
