This commit fixes linker errors along the lines of:

    s390-linux-ld: task_iter.c:(.init.text+0xa4): undefined reference to `btf_task_struct_ids'`

Fix by defining btf_task_struct_ids unconditionally in kernel/bpf/btf.c
since there exists code that unconditionally uses btf_task_struct_ids.

<title>bpf: Emit better log message if bpf_iter ctx arg btf_id == 0</title>

<id>d36216429ff3e69db4f6ea5e0c86b80010f5f30b</id>
<content type='text'>
To avoid kernel build failure due to some missing .BTF-ids referenced
functions/types, the patch ([1]) tries to fill btf_id 0 for
these types.

In bpf verifier, for percpu variable and helper returning btf_id cases,
verifier already emitted proper warning with something like
  verbose(env, "Helper has invalid btf_id in R%d\n", regno);
  verbose(env, "invalid return type %d of func %s#%d\n",
          fn-&gt;ret_type, func_id_name(func_id), func_id);

But this is not the case for bpf_iter context arguments.
I hacked resolve_btfids to encode btf_id 0 for struct task_struct.
With `./test_progs -n 7/5`, I got,
  0: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0)
  func 'bpf_iter_task' arg0 has btf_id 29739 type STRUCT 'bpf_iter_meta'
  ; struct seq_file *seq = ctx-&gt;meta-&gt;seq;
  1: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0)
  ; struct task_struct *task = ctx-&gt;task;
  2: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)
  ; if (task == (void *)0) {
  3: (55) if r7 != 0x0 goto pc+11
  ...
  ; BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%8d %8d\n", task-&gt;tgid, task-&gt;pid);
  26: (61) r1 = *(u32 *)(r7 +1372)
  Type '(anon)' is not a struct

Basically, verifier will return btf_id 0 for task_struct.
Later on, when the code tries to access task-&gt;tgid, the
verifier correctly complains the type is '(anon)' and it is
not a struct. Users still need to backtrace to find out
what is going on.

Let us catch the invalid btf_id 0 earlier
and provide better message indicating btf_id is wrong.
The new error message looks like below:
  R1 type=ctx expected=fp
  ; struct seq_file *seq = ctx-&gt;meta-&gt;seq;
  0: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0)
  func 'bpf_iter_task' arg0 has btf_id 29739 type STRUCT 'bpf_iter_meta'
  ; struct seq_file *seq = ctx-&gt;meta-&gt;seq;
  1: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0)
  ; struct task_struct *task = ctx-&gt;task;
  2: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)
  invalid btf_id for context argument offset 8
  invalid bpf_context access off=8 size=8

<title>bpf: Add map side support for bpf timers.</title>

<id>68134668c17f31f51930478f75495b552a411550</id>
<content type='text'>
Restrict bpf timers to array, hash (both preallocated and kmalloced), and
lru map types. The per-cpu maps with timers don't make sense, since 'struct
bpf_timer' is a part of map value. bpf timers in per-cpu maps would mean that
the number of timers depends on number of possible cpus and timers would not be
accessible from all cpus. lpm map support can be added in the future.
The timers in inner maps are supported.

The bpf_map_update/delete_elem() helpers and sys_bpf commands cancel and free
bpf_timer in a given map element.

Similar to 'struct bpf_spin_lock' BTF is required and it is used to validate
that map element indeed contains 'struct bpf_timer'.

Make check_and_init_map_value() init both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer when
map element data is reused in preallocated htab and lru maps.

Teach copy_map_value() to support both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer in a single
map element. There could be one of each, but not more than one. Due to 'one
bpf_timer in one element' restriction do not support timers in global data,
since global data is a map of single element, but from bpf program side it's
seen as many global variables and restriction of single global timer would be
odd. The sys_bpf map_freeze and sys_mmap syscalls are not allowed on maps with
timers, since user space could have corrupted mmap element and crashed the
kernel. The maps with timers cannot be readonly. Due to these restrictions
search for bpf_timer in datasec BTF in case it was placed in the global data to
report clear error.

The previous patch allowed 'struct bpf_timer' as a first field in a map
element only. Relax this restriction.

Refactor lru map to s/bpf_lru_push_free/htab_lru_push_free/ to cancel and free
the timer when lru map deletes an element as a part of it eviction algorithm.

Make sure that bpf program cannot access 'struct bpf_timer' via direct load/store.
The timer operation are done through helpers only.
This is similar to 'struct bpf_spin_lock'.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2021-06-17

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

We've added 50 non-merge commits during the last 25 day(s) which contain
a total of 148 files changed, 4779 insertions(+), 1248 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) BPF infrastructure to migrate TCP child sockets from a listener to another
   in the same reuseport group/map, from Kuniyuki Iwashima.

2) Add a provably sound, faster and more precise algorithm for tnum_mul() as
   noted in https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05398, from Harishankar Vishwanathan.

3) Streamline error reporting changes in libbpf as planned out in the
   'libbpf: the road to v1.0' effort, from Andrii Nakryiko.

4) Add broadcast support to xdp_redirect_map(), from Hangbin Liu.

5) Extends bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() functionality to 4 more map
   types, that is, {LRU_,PERCPU_,LRU_PERCPU_,}HASH, from Denis Salopek.

6) Support new LLVM relocations in libbpf to make them more linker friendly,
   also add a doc to describe the BPF backend relocations, from Yonghong Song.

7) Silence long standing KUBSAN complaints on register-based shifts in
   interpreter, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Biggers.

8) Add dummy PT_REGS macros in libbpf to fail BPF program compilation when
   target arch cannot be determined, from Lorenz Bauer.

9) Extend AF_XDP to support large umems with 1M+ pages, from Magnus Karlsson.

10) Fix two minor libbpf tc BPF API issues, from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi.

11) Move libbpf BPF_SEQ_PRINTF/BPF_SNPRINTF macros that can be used by BPF
    programs to bpf_helpers.h header, from Florent Revest.

	Find BTF type with given name and kind in vmlinux BTF or in module's BTFs.
Return
	Returns btf_id and btf_obj_fd in lower and upper 32 bits.

It will be used by loader program to find btf_id to attach the program to
and to find btf_ids of ksyms.

<title>bpf: Forbid trampoline attach for functions with variable arguments</title>

We can't currently allow to attach functions with variable arguments.
The problem is that we should save all the registers for arguments,
which is probably doable, but if caller uses more than 6 arguments,
we need stack data, which will be wrong, because of the extra stack
frame we do in bpf trampoline, so we could crash.

Also currently there's malformed trampoline code generated for such
functions at the moment as described in:

The variable id is being assigned a value that is never read, the
assignment is redundant and can be removed.
