[ Upstream commit da18bfa59d403040d8bcba1284285916fe9e4425 ]

New split BTF needs to preserve base's endianness. Similarly, when
creating a distilled BTF, we need to preserve original endianness.

Fix by updating libbpf's btf__distill_base() and btf_new_empty() to retain
the byte order of any source BTF objects when creating new ones.

<title>libbpf: Fix bpf_object__open_skeleton()'s mishandling of options</title>

[ Upstream commit c634d6f4e12d00c954410ba11db45799a8c77b5b ]

We do an ugly copying of options in bpf_object__open_skeleton() just to
be able to set object name from skeleton's recorded name (while still
allowing user to override it through opts-&gt;object_name).

This is not just ugly, but it also is broken due to memcpy() that
doesn't take into account potential skel_opts' and user-provided opts'
sizes differences due to backward and forward compatibility. This leads
to copying over extra bytes and then failing to validate options
properly. It could, technically, lead also to SIGSEGV, if we are unlucky.

So just get rid of that memory copy completely and instead pass
default object name into bpf_object_open() directly, simplifying all
this significantly. The rule now is that obj_name should be non-NULL for
bpf_object_open() when called with in-memory buffer, so validate that
explicitly as well.

We adopt bpf_object__open_mem() to this as well and generate default
name (based on buffer memory address and size) outside of bpf_object_open().

<title>libbpf: Don't take direct pointers into BTF data from st_ops</title>

[ Upstream commit 04a94133f1b3cccb19e056c26f056c50b4e5b3b1 ]

In struct bpf_struct_ops, we have take a pointer to a BTF type name, and
a struct btf_type. This was presumably done for convenience, but can
actually result in subtle and confusing bugs given that BTF data can be
invalidated before a program is loaded. For example, in sched_ext, we
may sometimes resize a data section after a skeleton has been opened,
but before the struct_ops scheduler map has been loaded. This may cause
the BTF data to be realloc'd, which can then cause a UAF when loading
the program because the struct_ops map has pointers directly into the
BTF data.

We're already storing the BTF type_id in struct bpf_struct_ops. Because
type_id is stable, we can therefore just update the places where we were
looking at those pointers to instead do the lookups we need from the
type_id.

<title>libbpf: Fix no-args func prototype BTF dumping syntax</title>

For all these years libbpf's BTF dumper has been emitting not strictly
valid syntax for function prototypes that have no input arguments.

Instead of `int (*blah)()` we should emit `int (*blah)(void)`.

This is not normally a problem, but it manifests when we get kfuncs in
vmlinux.h that have no input arguments. Due to compiler internal
specifics, we get no BTF information for such kfuncs, if they are not
declared with proper `(void)`.

The fix is trivial. We also need to adjust a few ancient tests that
happily assumed `()` is correct.

Improve how we handle old BPF skeletons when it comes to BPF map
auto-attachment. Emit one warn-level message per each struct_ops map
that could have been auto-attached, if user provided recent enough BPF
skeleton version. Don't spam log if there are no relevant struct_ops
maps, though.

This should help users realize that they probably need to regenerate BPF
skeleton header with more recent bpftool/libbpf-cargo (or whatever other
means of BPF skeleton generation).

BPF skeleton was designed from day one to be extensible. Generated BPF
skeleton code specifies actual sizes of map/prog/variable skeletons for
that reason and libbpf is supposed to work with newer/older versions
correctly.

Unfortunately, it was missed that we implicitly embed hard-coded most
up-to-date (according to libbpf's version of libbpf.h header used to
compile BPF skeleton header) sizes of those structs, which can differ
from the actual sizes at runtime when libbpf is used as a shared
library.

We have a few places were we just index array of maps/progs/vars, which
implicitly uses these potentially invalid sizes of structs.

This patch aims to fix this problem going forward. Once this lands,
we'll backport these changes in Github repo to create patched releases
for older libbpfs.

In the current state, an erroneous call to
bpf_object__find_map_by_name(NULL, ...) leads to a segmentation
fault through the following call chain:

  bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj = NULL, ...)
  -&gt; bpf_object__for_each_map(pos, obj = NULL)
  -&gt; bpf_object__next_map((obj = NULL), NULL)
  -&gt; return (obj = NULL)-&gt;maps

While calling bpf_object__find_map_by_name with obj = NULL is
obviously incorrect, this should not lead to a segmentation
fault but rather be handled gracefully.

As __bpf_map__iter already handles this situation correctly, we
can delegate the check for the regular case there and only add
a check in case the prev or next parameter is NULL.

In the current state, an erroneous call to
bpf_object__find_map_by_name(NULL, ...) leads to a segmentation
fault through the following call chain:

  bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj = NULL, ...)
  -&gt; bpf_object__for_each_map(pos, obj = NULL)
  -&gt; bpf_object__next_map((obj = NULL), NULL)
  -&gt; return (obj = NULL)-&gt;maps

While calling bpf_object__find_map_by_name with obj = NULL is
obviously incorrect, this should not lead to a segmentation
fault but rather be handled gracefully.

As __bpf_map__iter already handles this situation correctly, we
can delegate the check for the regular case there and only add
a check in case the prev or next parameter is NULL.

Coverity points out that after calling btf__new_empty_split() the wrong
value is checked for error.

<title>libbpf: Fix clang compilation error in btf_relocate.c</title>

When building with clang for ARCH=i386, the following errors are
observed:

  CC      kernel/bpf/btf_relocate.o
./tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c:206:23: error: implicit truncation from 'int' to a one-bit wide bit-field changes value from 1 to -1 [-Werror,-Wsingle-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion]
  206 |                 info[id].needs_size = true;
      |                                     ^ ~
./tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c:256:25: error: implicit truncation from 'int' to a one-bit wide bit-field changes value from 1 to -1 [-Werror,-Wsingle-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion]
  256 |                         base_info.needs_size = true;
      |                                              ^ ~
2 errors generated.

The problem is we use 1-bit, 31-bit bitfields in a signed int.
Changing to

	bool needs_size: 1;
	unsigned int size:31;

...resolves the error and pahole reports that 4 bytes are used
for the underlying representation:

$ pahole btf_name_info tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.o
struct btf_name_info {
	const char  *              name;                 /*     0     8 */
	unsigned int               needs_size:1;         /*     8: 0  4 */
	unsigned int               size:31;              /*     8: 1  4 */
	__u32                      id;                   /*    12     4 */

	/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
