[ Upstream commit 29d67fdebc42af6466d1909c60fdd1ef4f3e5240 ]

I hit a memory leak when testing bpf_program__set_attach_target().
Basically, set_attach_target() may allocate btf_vmlinux, for example,
when setting attach target for bpf_iter programs. But btf_vmlinux
is freed only in bpf_object_load(), which means if we only open
bpf object but not load it, setting attach target may leak
btf_vmlinux.

So let's free btf_vmlinux in bpf_object__close() anyway.

<title>libbpf: Fix realloc API handling in zero-sized edge cases</title>

[ Upstream commit 8a0260dbf6553c969248b6530cafadac46562f47 ]

realloc() and reallocarray() can either return NULL or a special
non-NULL pointer, if their size argument is zero. This requires a bit
more care to handle NULL-as-valid-result situation differently from
NULL-as-error case. This has caused real issues before ([0]), and just
recently bit again in production when performing bpf_program__attach_usdt().

This patch fixes 4 places that do or potentially could suffer from this
mishandling of NULL, including the reported USDT-related one.

There are many other places where realloc()/reallocarray() is used and
NULL is always treated as an error value, but all those have guarantees
that their size is always non-zero, so those spot don't need any extra
handling.

<title>libbpf: fix offsetof() and container_of() to work with CO-RE</title>

[ Upstream commit bdeeed3498c7871c17465bb4f11d1bc67f9098af ]

It seems like __builtin_offset() doesn't preserve CO-RE field
relocations properly. So if offsetof() macro is defined through
__builtin_offset(), CO-RE-enabled BPF code using container_of() will be
subtly and silently broken.

To avoid this problem, redefine offsetof() and container_of() in the
form that works with CO-RE relocations more reliably.

<title>libbpf: btf_dump_type_data_check_overflow needs to consider BTF_MEMBER_BITFIELD_SIZE</title>

[ Upstream commit c39028b333f3a3a765c5c0b9726b8e38aedf0ba1 ]

The btf_dump/struct_data selftest is failing with:

  [...]
  test_btf_dump_struct_data:FAIL:unexpected return value dumping fs_context unexpected unexpected return value dumping fs_context: actual -7 != expected 264
  [...]

The reason is in btf_dump_type_data_check_overflow(). It does not use
BTF_MEMBER_BITFIELD_SIZE from the struct's member (btf_member). Instead,
it is using the enum size which is 4. It had been working till the recent
commit 4e04143c869c ("fs_context: drop the unused lsm_flags member")
removed an integer member which also removed the 4 bytes padding at the
end of the fs_context. Missing this 4 bytes padding exposed this bug. In
particular, when btf_dump_type_data_check_overflow() reaches the member
'phase', -E2BIG is returned.

The fix is to pass bit_sz to btf_dump_type_data_check_overflow(). In
btf_dump_type_data_check_overflow(), it does a different size check when
bit_sz is not zero.

<title>libbpf: Fix ld_imm64 copy logic for ksym in light skeleton.</title>

[ Upstream commit a506d6ce1dd184051037dc9d26c3eb187c9fe625 ]

Unlike normal libbpf the light skeleton 'loader' program is doing
btf_find_by_name_kind() call at run-time to find ksym in the kernel and
populate its {btf_id, btf_obj_fd} pair in ld_imm64 insn. To avoid doing the
search multiple times for the same ksym it remembers the first patched ld_imm64
insn and copies {btf_id, btf_obj_fd} from it into subsequent ld_imm64 insn.
Fix a bug in copying logic, since it may incorrectly clear BPF_PSEUDO_BTF_ID flag.

Also replace always true if (btf_obj_fd &gt;= 0) check with unconditional JMP_JA
to clarify the code.

[ Upstream commit 872aec4b5f635d94111d48ec3c57fbe078d64e7d ]

btf_dump APIs emit unnecessary tabs when emitting struct/union
definition that fits on the single line. Before this patch we'd get:

struct blah {&lt;tab&gt;};

This patch fixes this and makes sure that we get more natural:

struct blah {};

[ Upstream commit 44a726c3f23cf762ef4ce3c1709aefbcbe97f62c ]

btf_dump_emit_struct_def attempts to print empty structures at a
single line, e.g. `struct empty {}`. However, it has to account for a
case when there are no regular but some padding fields in the struct.
In such case `vlen` would be zero, but size would be non-zero.

E.g. here is struct bpf_timer from vmlinux.h before this patch:

 struct bpf_timer {
 	long: 64;
	long: 64;};

And after this patch:

 struct bpf_dynptr {
 	long: 64;
	long: 64;
 };

[ Upstream commit 4fb877aaa179dcdb1676d55216482febaada457e ]

Fix bug in btf_dump's logic of determining if a given struct type is
packed or not. The notion of "natural alignment" is not needed and is
even harmful in this case, so drop it altogether. The biggest difference
in btf_is_struct_packed() compared to its original implementation is
that we don't really use btf__align_of() to determine overall alignment
of a struct type (because it could be 1 for both packed and non-packed
struct, depending on specifci field definitions), and just use field's
actual alignment to calculate whether any field is requiring packing or
struct's size overall necessitates packing.

Add two simple test cases that demonstrate the difference this change
would make.

[ Upstream commit ea2ce1ba99aa6a60c8d8a706e3abadf3de372163 ]

Turns out that btf_dump API doesn't handle a bunch of tricky corner
cases, as reported by Per, and further discovered using his testing
Python script ([0]).

This patch revamps btf_dump's padding logic significantly, making it
more correct and also avoiding unnecessary explicit padding, where
compiler would pad naturally. This overall topic turned out to be very
tricky and subtle, there are lots of subtle corner cases. The comments
in the code tries to give some clues, but comments themselves are
supposed to be paired with good understanding of C alignment and padding
rules. Plus some experimentation to figure out subtle things like
whether `long :0;` means that struct is now forced to be long-aligned
(no, it's not, turns out).

Anyways, Per's script, while not completely correct in some known
situations, doesn't show any obvious cases where this logic breaks, so
this is a nice improvement over the previous state of this logic.

Some selftests had to be adjusted to accommodate better use of natural
alignment rules, eliminating some unnecessary padding, or changing it to
`type: 0;` alignment markers.

Note also that for when we are in between bitfields, we emit explicit
bit size, while otherwise we use `: 0`, this feels much more natural in
practice.

Next patch will add few more test cases, found through randomized Per's
script.
