[ Upstream commit 966a7509325395c51c5f6d89e7352b0585e4804b ]

Fix the bug in bpf_object__relocate_core() which can lead to finding
invalid matching BPF program when processing CO-RE relocation. IF
matching program is not found, last encountered program will be assumed
to be correct program and thus error detection won't detect the problem.

[ Upstream commit e89d57d938c8fa80c457982154ed6110804814fe ]

During BPF static linking, all the ELF relocations and .BTF.ext
information (including CO-RE relocations) are preserved for __weak
subprograms that were logically overriden by either previous weak
subprogram instance or by corresponding "strong" (non-weak) subprogram.
This is just how native user-space linkers work, nothing new.

But libbpf is over-zealous when processing CO-RE relocation to error out
when CO-RE relocation belonging to such eliminated weak subprogram is
encountered. Instead of erroring out on this expected situation, log
debug-level message and skip the relocation.

<title>libbpf: Fix a bug with checking bpf_probe_read_kernel() support in old kernels</title>

[ Upstream commit d252a4a499a07bec21c65873f605c3a1ef52ffed ]

Background:
Libbpf automatically replaces calls to BPF bpf_probe_read_{kernel,user}
[_str]() helpers with bpf_probe_read[_str](), if libbpf detects that
kernel doesn't support new APIs. Specifically, libbpf invokes the
probe_kern_probe_read_kernel function to load a small eBPF program into
the kernel in which bpf_probe_read_kernel API is invoked and lets the
kernel checks whether the new API is valid. If the loading fails, libbpf
considers the new API invalid and replaces it with the old API.

static int probe_kern_probe_read_kernel(void)
{
	struct bpf_insn insns[] = {
		BPF_MOV64_REG(BPF_REG_1, BPF_REG_10),	/* r1 = r10 (fp) */
		BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_ADD, BPF_REG_1, -8),	/* r1 += -8 */
		BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_2, 8),		/* r2 = 8 */
		BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_3, 0),		/* r3 = 0 */
		BPF_RAW_INSN(BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL, 0, 0, 0, BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel),
		BPF_EXIT_INSN(),
	};
	int fd, insn_cnt = ARRAY_SIZE(insns);

	fd = bpf_prog_load(BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE, NULL,
                           "GPL", insns, insn_cnt, NULL);
	return probe_fd(fd);
}

Bug:
On older kernel versions [0], the kernel checks whether the version
number provided in the bpf syscall, matches the LINUX_VERSION_CODE.
If not matched, the bpf syscall fails. eBPF However, the
probe_kern_probe_read_kernel code does not set the kernel version
number provided to the bpf syscall, which causes the loading process
alwasys fails for old versions. It means that libbpf will replace the
new API with the old one even the kernel supports the new one.

Solution:
After a discussion in [1], the solution is using BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT
program type instead of BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE because kernel does not
enfoce version check for tracepoint programs. I test the patch in old
kernels (4.18 and 4.19) and it works well.

[ Upstream commit a4fbfdd7a160eccaafc093eb5b34f838b1ca0bf0 ]

When a BPF map of type BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY doesn't have the
max_entries parameter set, the map will be created with max_entries set
to the number of available CPUs. When we try to reuse such a pinned map,
map_is_reuse_compat will return false, as max_entries in the map
definition differs from max_entries of the existing map, causing the
following error:

  libbpf: couldn't reuse pinned map at '/sys/fs/bpf/m_logging': parameter mismatch

Fix this by overwriting max_entries in the map definition. For this to
work, we need to do this in bpf_object__create_maps, before calling
bpf_object__reuse_map.

<title>libbpf: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference when destroying skeleton</title>

[ Upstream commit a32ea51a3f17ce6524c9fc19d311e708331c8b5f ]

When I checked the code in skeleton header file generated with my own
bpf prog, I found there may be possible NULL pointer dereference when
destroying skeleton. Then I checked the in-tree bpf progs, finding that is
a common issue. Let's take the generated samples/bpf/xdp_redirect_cpu.skel.h
for example. Below is the generated code in
xdp_redirect_cpu__create_skeleton():

	xdp_redirect_cpu__create_skeleton
		struct bpf_object_skeleton *s;
		s = (struct bpf_object_skeleton *)calloc(1, sizeof(*s));
		if (!s)
			goto error;
		...
	error:
		bpf_object__destroy_skeleton(s);
		return  -ENOMEM;

After goto error, the NULL 's' will be deferenced in
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton().

We can simply fix this issue by just adding a NULL check in
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton().

With perf_buffer__poll() and perf_buffer__consume() APIs available,
there is no reason to expose bpf_perf_event_read_simple() API to
users. If users need custom perf buffer, they could re-implement
the function.

Mark bpf_perf_event_read_simple() and move the logic to a new
static function so it can still be called by other functions in the
same file.

Ubuntu reports incorrect kernel version through uname(), which on older
kernels leads to kprobe BPF programs failing to load due to the version
check mismatch.

Accommodate Ubuntu's quirks with LINUX_VERSION_CODE by using
Ubuntu-specific /proc/version_code to fetch major/minor/patch versions
to form LINUX_VERSION_CODE.

While at it, consolide libbpf's kernel version detection code between
libbpf.c and libbpf_probes.c.

<title>libbpf: Avoid reading past ELF data section end when copying license</title>

Fix possible read beyond ELF "license" data section if the license
string is not properly zero-terminated. Use the fact that libbpf_strlcpy
never accesses the (N-1)st byte of the source string because it's
replaced with '\0' anyways.

If this happens, it's a violation of contract between libbpf and a user,
but not handling this more robustly upsets CIFuzz, so given the fix is
trivial, let's fix the potential issue.
