[ Upstream commit 03e601f48b2da6fb44d0f7b86957a8f6bacfb347 ]

If libbpf encounters an ELF file that has been stripped of its symbol
table, it will crash in bpf_object__add_programs() when trying to
dereference the obj-&gt;efile.symbols pointer.

Fix this by erroring out of bpf_object__elf_collect() if it is not able
able to find the symbol table.

v2:
  - Move check into bpf_object__elf_collect() and add nice error message

[ Upstream commit 4729445b47efebf089da4ccbcd1b116ffa2ad4af ]

When fed an empty BPF object, bpftool gen skeleton -L crashes at
btf__set_fd() since it assumes presence of obj-&gt;btf, however for
the sequence below clang adds no .BTF section (hence no BTF).

Reproducer:

  $ touch a.bpf.c
  $ clang -O2 -g -target bpf -c a.bpf.c
  $ bpftool gen skeleton -L a.bpf.o
  /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause) */
  /* THIS FILE IS AUTOGENERATED! */

  struct a_bpf {
	struct bpf_loader_ctx ctx;
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The same occurs for files compiled without BTF info, i.e. without
clang's -g flag.

<title>libbpf: Fix race when pinning maps in parallel</title>

[ Upstream commit 043c5bb3c4f43670ab4fea0b847373ab42d25f3e ]

When loading in parallel multiple programs which use the same to-be
pinned map, it is possible that two instances of the loader will call
bpf_object__create_maps() at the same time. If the map doesn't exist
when both instances call bpf_object__reuse_map(), then one of the
instances will fail with EEXIST when calling bpf_map__pin().

Fix the race by retrying reusing a map if bpf_map__pin() returns
EEXIST. The fix is similar to the one in iproute2: e4c4685fd6e4 ("bpf:
Fix race condition with map pinning").

Before retrying the pinning, we don't do any special cleaning of an
internal map state. The closer code inspection revealed that it's not
required:

    - bpf_object__create_map(): map-&gt;inner_map is destroyed after a
      successful call, map-&gt;fd is closed if pinning fails.
    - bpf_object__populate_internal_map(): created map elements is
      destroyed upon close(map-&gt;fd).
    - init_map_slots(): slots are freed after their initialization.

<title>libbpf: Fix reuse of pinned map on older kernel</title>

[ Upstream commit 97eb31384af943d6b97eb5947262cee4ef25cb87 ]

When loading a BPF program with a pinned map, the loader checks whether
the pinned map can be reused, i.e. their properties match. To derive
such of the pinned map, the loader invokes BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD and
then does the comparison.

Unfortunately, on &lt; 4.12 kernels the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD is not
available, so loading the program fails with the following error:

	libbpf: failed to get map info for map FD 5: Invalid argument
	libbpf: couldn't reuse pinned map at
		'/sys/fs/bpf/tc/globals/cilium_call_policy': parameter
		mismatch"
	libbpf: map 'cilium_call_policy': error reusing pinned map
	libbpf: map 'cilium_call_policy': failed to create:
		Invalid argument(-22)
	libbpf: failed to load object 'bpf_overlay.o'

To fix this, fallback to derivation of the map properties via
/proc/$PID/fdinfo/$MAP_FD if BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD fails with EINVAL,
which can be used as an indicator that the kernel doesn't support
the latter.

Variable "err" is initialised to -EINVAL so that this error code is
returned when something goes wrong in libbpf_find_prog_btf_id().
However, a recent change in the function made use of the variable in
such a way that it is set to 0 if retrieving linear information on the
program is successful, and this 0 value remains if we error out on
failures at later stages.

Let's fix this by setting err to -EINVAL later in the function.

The update to streamline libbpf error reporting intended to change all
functions to return the errno as a negative return value if
LIBBPF_STRICT_DIRECT_ERRS is set. However, if the flag is *not* set, the
return value changes for the two functions that were already returning a
negative errno unconditionally: bpf_link__unpin() and perf_buffer__poll().

This is a user-visible API change that breaks applications; so let's revert
these two functions back to unconditionally returning a negative errno
value.

eBPF has been backported for RHEL 7 w/ kernel 3.10-940+ [0]. However only
the following program types are supported [1]:

  BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT

For libbpf this causes an EINVAL return during the bpf_object__probe_loading
call which only checks to see if programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER
can load.

The following will try BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT as a fallback attempt before
erroring out. BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE was not a good candidate because on some
kernels it requires knowledge of the LINUX_VERSION_CODE.

====================
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.
