<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.

<title>libbpf: Add unique_match option for multi kprobe</title>

<id>e2b0bda62d549d9dcbc11f5371c6a41c8c4f54b0</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>libbpf: Set MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL when creating memfd</title>

Starting from 105ff5339f49 ("mm/memfd: add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and
MFD_EXEC") and until 1717449b4417 ("memfd: drop warning for missing
exec-related flags"), the kernel would print a warning if neither
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL nor MFD_EXEC is set in memfd_create().

If libbpf runs on on a kernel between these two commits (eg. on an
improperly backported system), it'll trigger this warning.

To avoid this warning (and also be more secure), explicitly set
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL. But since libbpf can be run on potentially very old
kernels, leave a fallback for kernels without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL support.

The new_fd and add_fd functions correspond to the original new and
add_file functions, but accept an FD instead of a file name. This
gives API consumers the option of using anonymous files/memfds to
avoid writing ELFs to disk.

This new API will be useful for performing linking as part of
bpftrace's JIT compilation.

The add_buf function is a convenience wrapper that does the work of
creating a memfd for the caller.

Move the filename arguments and file-descriptor handling from
init_output_elf() and linker_load_obj_file() and instead handle them
at the top-level in bpf_linker__new() and bpf_linker__add_file().

This will allow the inner functions to be shared with a new,
non-filename-based, API in the next commit.
