[ Upstream commit bda6a7308ef8e79cfbb7d09e48e1c7ffaa522269 ]

bpftool cgroup show and tree call libbpf_find_kernel_btf() to
resolve attach_btf names, but never release the returned BTF object.

For cgroup tree, do_show_tree_fn() is called once for each cgroup
visited by nftw(). When more than one cgroup has attached programs,
each callback overwrites btf_vmlinux with a new object and loses the
previous allocation.

Load vmlinux BTF only once during a tree walk and release it when
cgroup show or tree completes. Reset btf_vmlinux_id at the same time
so batch mode starts with clean state.

<title>bpftool: Use libbpf error code for flow dissector query</title>

[ Upstream commit 8a7f2bff2165e53595d1e91c160b340f978c0ab7 ]

bpf_prog_query() returns a negative errno on failure.
query_flow_dissector() currently closes the namespace fd and then reads
errno to decide whether -EINVAL means that the running kernel does not
support flow dissector queries.

That errno check controls behavior, not just diagnostics: -EINVAL is
handled as a non-fatal old-kernel case, while any other error makes bpftool
net fail.

The namespace fd is opened read-only, so close() is not expected to
commonly fail in normal use. Still, the BPF_PROG_QUERY error is already
available in err, and reading errno after an intervening close() is
fragile. If close() does change errno, the compatibility branch may be
based on close()'s error instead of the BPF_PROG_QUERY result.

This was reproduced with an LD_PRELOAD fault injector that forced
BPF_PROG_QUERY for BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR to fail with EINVAL and then
forced close() on the netns fd to fail with EIO. The unpatched bpftool
reported "can't query prog: Input/output error". With this change, the
same injected failure is handled as the intended non-fatal EINVAL
compatibility case.

Use the libbpf-returned error code instead. Keep the existing errno reset
in the non-fatal path to preserve batch mode behavior. The success path
is unchanged.

[ Upstream commit be4c6c7bc42952b71188894933946b410deadcfe ]

When generating light skeletons for BPF programs containing struct_ops
maps, bpftool incorrectly outputs a stray literal 't' instead of a tab
character for the map file descriptor member in the links structure.
This causes a compilation error when the generated light skeleton is
used.

Correct the format string by replacing 't' with '\t'.

<title>bpftool: Enable aarch64 ISA extensions for JIT disassembly</title>

The LLVM disassembler needs ISA extension features enabled to correctly
decode instructions from those extensions. On aarch64, without these
features, instructions like LSE atomics (e.g. ldaddal) are silently
decoded as incorrect instructions and disassembly is truncated.

Use LLVMCreateDisasmCPUFeatures() with "+all" features for aarch64
targets so that the disassembler can handle any instruction the kernel
JIT might emit.

<title>bpftool: Allow explicitly skip llvm, libbfd and libcrypto dependencies</title>

<id>c73a24436698ade1b6a0742e8bcfa04c9ef8fad9</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce SKIP_LLVM, SKIP_LIBBFD, and SKIP_CRYPTO build flags that let
users build bpftool without these optional dependencies.

SKIP_LLVM=1 skips LLVM even when detected. SKIP_LIBBFD=1 prevents the
libbfd JIT disassembly fallback when LLVM is absent. Together, they
produce a bpftool with no disassembly support.

SKIP_CRYPTO=1 excludes sign.c and removes the -lcrypto link dependency.
Inline stubs in main.h return errors with a clear message if signing
functions are called at runtime.

Use BPFTOOL_WITHOUT_CRYPTO (not HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT) as the C
define, following the BPFTOOL_WITHOUT_SKELETONS naming convention for
bpftool-internal build config, leaving HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT free for
proper feature detection in the future.

All three flags are propagated through the selftests Makefile to bpftool
sub-builds.

Introduce SKIP_LLVM, SKIP_LIBBFD, and SKIP_CRYPTO build flags that let
users build bpftool without these optional dependencies.

SKIP_LLVM=1 skips LLVM even when detected. SKIP_LIBBFD=1 prevents the
libbfd JIT disassembly fallback when LLVM is absent. Together, they
produce a bpftool with no disassembly support.

SKIP_CRYPTO=1 excludes sign.c and removes the -lcrypto link dependency.
Inline stubs in main.h return errors with a clear message if signing
functions are called at runtime.

Use BPFTOOL_WITHOUT_CRYPTO (not HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT) as the C
define, following the BPFTOOL_WITHOUT_SKELETONS naming convention for
bpftool-internal build config, leaving HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT free for
proper feature detection in the future.

All three flags are propagated through the selftests Makefile to bpftool
sub-builds.

<title>bpftool: Support merging multiple module BTFs in btf dump</title>

Add support for specifying multiple file sources in 'bpftool btf dump'
to generate a single C header containing types from vmlinux plus
multiple kernel modules:

  bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/mod1 file /sys/kernel/btf/mod2 format c

This is useful for BPF programs that need to access types defined in
kernel modules. Previously this required a separate bpftool invocation
for each module, producing separate headers that could not be combined
due to overlapping vmlinux type definitions.

The implementation collects all file paths, then for the multi-file
case creates an empty split BTF on the vmlinux base and iteratively
merges each module's types into it via btf__add_btf(). The single-file
code path is preserved exactly to avoid any regression risk.

Auto-detection of vmlinux as the base BTF from sysfs paths works as
before. If vmlinux itself appears in the file list it is skipped with
a warning since its types are already provided by the base.

<title>bpftool: Fix truncated netlink dumps</title>

Netlink requires that the recv buffer used during dumps is at least
min(PAGE_SIZE, 8k) (see the man page). Otherwise the messages will
get truncated. Make sure bpftool follows this requirement, avoid
missing information on systems with large pages.
