[ Upstream commit 236d3910117e9f97ebf75e511d8bcc950f1a4e5f ]

In `set_kcfg_value_str`, an untrusted string is accessed with the assumption
that it will be at least two characters long due to the presence of checks for
opening and closing quotes. But the check for the closing quote
(value[len - 1] != '"') misses the fact that it could be checking the opening
quote itself in case of an invalid input that consists of just the opening
quote.

This commit adds an explicit check to make sure the string is at least two
characters long.

[ Upstream commit 307ef667e94530c2f2f77797bfe9ea85c22bec7d ]

When statically linking symbols can be replaced with those from other
statically linked libraries depending on the link order and the hoped
for "multiple definition" error may not appear. To avoid conflicts it
is good practice to namespace symbols, this change renames errstr to
libbpf_errstr. To avoid churn a #define is used to turn use of
errstr(err) to libbpf_errstr(err).

[ Upstream commit e0525cd72b5979d8089fe524a071ea93fd011dc9 ]

Fix theoretical NULL dereference in linker when resolving *extern*
STT_SECTION symbol against not-yet-existing ELF section. Not sure if
it's possible in practice for valid ELF object files (this would require
embedded assembly manipulations, at which point BTF will be missing),
but fix the s/dst_sym/dst_sec/ typo guarding this condition anyways.

<title>libbpf: Work around kernel inconsistently stripping '.llvm.' suffix</title>

Some versions of kernel were stripping out '.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;' suffix from
kerne symbols (produced by Clang LTO compilation) from function names
reported in available_filter_functions, while kallsyms reported full
original name. This confuses libbpf's multi-kprobe logic of finding all
matching kernel functions for specified user glob pattern by joining
available_filter_functions and kallsyms contents, because joining by
full symbol name won't work for symbols containing '.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;' suffix.

This was eventually fixed by [0] in the kernel, but we'd like to not
regress multi-kprobe experience and add a work around for this bug on
libbpf side, stripping kallsym's name if it matches user pattern and
contains '.llvm.' suffix.

<title>libbpf: Fix incorrect traversal end type ID when marking BTF_IS_EMBEDDED</title>

<content type='text'>
When redirecting the split BTF to the vmlinux base BTF, we need to mark
the distilled base struct/union members of split BTF structs/unions in
id_map with BTF_IS_EMBEDDED. This indicates that these types must match
both name and size later. Therefore, we need to traverse the entire
split BTF, which involves traversing type IDs from nr_dist_base_types to
nr_types. However, the current implementation uses an incorrect
traversal end type ID, so let's correct it.

Jordan reported an issue in Meta production environment where func
try_to_wake_up() is renamed to try_to_wake_up.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;() by clang
compiler at lto mode. The original 'kprobe/try_to_wake_up' does not
work any more since try_to_wake_up() does not match the actual func
name in /proc/kallsyms.

There are a couple of ways to resolve this issue. For example, in
attach_kprobe(), we could do lookup in /proc/kallsyms so try_to_wake_up()
can be replaced by try_to_wake_up.llvm.&lt;hach&gt;(). Or we can force users
to use bpf_program__attach_kprobe() where they need to lookup
/proc/kallsyms to find out try_to_wake_up.llvm.&lt;hach&gt;(). But these two
approaches requires extra work by either libbpf or user.

Luckily, suggested by Andrii, multi kprobe already supports wildcard ('*')
for symbol matching. In the above example, 'try_to_wake_up*' can match
to try_to_wake_up() or try_to_wake_up.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;() and this allows
bpf prog works for different kernels as some kernels may have
try_to_wake_up() and some others may have try_to_wake_up.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;().

The original intention is to kprobe try_to_wake_up() only, so an optional
field unique_match is added to struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts. If the
field is set to true, the number of matched functions must be one.
Otherwise, the attachment will fail. In the above case, multi kprobe
with 'try_to_wake_up*' and unique_match preserves user functionality.
