[ Upstream commit 1de27bba6d50a909647f304eadc0f7c59a842a50 ]

Adjust `union bpf_attr` size passed to kernel in two feature-detecting
functions to take into account prog_token_fd field.

Libbpf is avoiding memset()'ing entire `union bpf_attr` by only using
minimal set of bpf_attr's fields. Two places have been missed when
wiring BPF token support in libbpf's feature detection logic.

Fix them trivially.

<title>libbpf: Prevent null-pointer dereference when prog to load has no BTF</title>

[ Upstream commit 9bf48fa19a4b1d186e08b20bf7e5de26a15644fb ]

In bpf_objec_load_prog(), there's no guarantee that obj-&gt;btf is non-NULL
when passing it to btf__fd(), and this function does not perform any
check before dereferencing its argument (as bpf_object__btf_fd() used to
do). As a consequence, we get segmentation fault errors in bpftool (for
example) when trying to load programs that come without BTF information.

v2: Keep btf__fd() in the fix instead of reverting to bpf_object__btf_fd().

   from Puranjay Mohan and Alexei Starovoitov.

3) Fix xsk to not assume that metadata is always requested in TX completion,
   from Stanislav Fomichev.

4) Fix riscv BPF JIT's kfunc parameter incompatibility between BPF and the riscv
   ABI which requires sign-extension on int/uint, from Pu Lehui.

5) Fix s390x BPF JIT's bpf_plt pointer arithmetic which triggered a crash when
   testing struct_ops, from Ilya Leoshkevich.

6) Fix libbpf's arena mmap handling which had incorrect u64-to-pointer cast on
   32-bit architectures, from Andrii Nakryiko.

7) Fix libbpf to define MFD_CLOEXEC when not available, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

8) Fix arm64 BPF JIT implementation for 32bit unconditional bswap which
   resulted in an incorrect swap as indicated by test_bpf, from Artem Savkov.

9) Fix BPF man page build script to use silent mode, from Hangbin Liu.

memfd_create() available in some systems, do the same for its
MFD_CLOEXEC flags, defining it if not available.

The selftests use
to tell LLVM about special pointers. For LLVM there is nothing "arena"
about them. They are simply pointers in a different address space.
Hence LLVM diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/85161 renamed:
. macro __BPF_FEATURE_ARENA_CAST -&gt; __BPF_FEATURE_ADDR_SPACE_CAST
. global variables in __attribute__((address_space(N))) are now
  placed in section named ".addr_space.N" instead of ".arena.N".

Adjust libbpf, bpftool, and selftests to match LLVM.

The selftests use
to tell LLVM about special pointers. For LLVM there is nothing "arena"
about them. They are simply pointers in a different address space.
Hence LLVM diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/85161 renamed:
. macro __BPF_FEATURE_ARENA_CAST -&gt; __BPF_FEATURE_ADDR_SPACE_CAST
. global variables in __attribute__((address_space(N))) are now
  placed in section named ".addr_space.N" instead of ".arena.N".

Adjust libbpf, bpftool, and selftests to match LLVM.

LLVM automatically places __arena variables into ".arena.1" ELF section.
In order to use such global variables bpf program must include definition
of arena map in ".maps" section, like:
struct {
       __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA);
       __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_MMAPABLE);
       __uint(max_entries, 1000);         /* number of pages */
       __ulong(map_extra, 2ull &lt;&lt; 44);    /* start of mmap() region */
} arena SEC(".maps");

libbpf recognizes both uses of arena and creates single `struct bpf_map *`
instance in libbpf APIs.
".arena.1" ELF section data is used as initial data image, which is exposed
through skeleton and bpf_map__initial_value() to the user, if they need to tune
it before the load phase. During load phase, this initial image is copied over
into mmap()'ed region corresponding to arena, and discarded.

Few small checks here and there had to be added to make sure this
approach works with bpf_map__initial_value(), mostly due to hard-coded
assumption that map-&gt;mmaped is set up with mmap() syscall and should be
munmap()'ed. For arena, .arena.1 can be (much) smaller than maximum
arena size, so this smaller data size has to be tracked separately.
Given it is enforced that there is only one arena for entire bpf_object
instance, we just keep it in a separate field. This can be generalized
if necessary later.

All global variables from ".arena.1" section are accessible from user space
via skel-&gt;arena-&gt;name_of_var.

For bss/data/rodata the skeleton/libbpf perform the following sequence:
1. addr = mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS)
2. user space optionally modifies global vars
3. map_fd = bpf_create_map()
4. bpf_update_map_elem(map_fd, addr) // to store values into the kernel
5. mmap(addr, MAP_FIXED, map_fd)
after step 5 user spaces see the values it wrote at step 2 at the same addresses

arena doesn't support update_map_elem. Hence skeleton/libbpf do:
1. addr = malloc(sizeof SEC ".arena.1")
2. user space optionally modifies global vars
3. map_fd = bpf_create_map(MAP_TYPE_ARENA)
4. real_addr = mmap(map-&gt;map_extra, MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED, map_fd)
5. memcpy(real_addr, addr) // this will fault-in and allocate pages

At the end look and feel of global data vs __arena global data is the same from
bpf prog pov.

Another complication is:
struct {
  __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA);
} arena SEC(".maps");

int __arena foo;
int bar;

  ptr1 = &amp;foo;   // relocation against ".arena.1" section
  ptr2 = &amp;arena; // relocation against ".maps" section
  ptr3 = &amp;bar;   // relocation against ".bss" section

Fo the kernel ptr1 and ptr2 has point to the same arena's map_fd
while ptr3 points to a different global array's map_fd.
For the verifier:
ptr1-&gt;type == unknown_scalar
ptr2-&gt;type == const_ptr_to_map
ptr3-&gt;type == ptr_to_map_value

After verification, from JIT pov all 3 ptr-s are normal ld_imm64 insns.

mmap() bpf_arena right after creation, since the kernel needs to
remember the address returned from mmap. This is user_vm_start.
LLVM will generate bpf_arena_cast_user() instructions where
necessary and JIT will add upper 32-bit of user_vm_start
to such pointers.

Fix up bpf_map_mmap_sz() to compute mmap size as
map-&gt;value_size * map-&gt;max_entries for arrays and
PAGE_SIZE * map-&gt;max_entries for arena.

Don't set BTF at arena creation time, since it doesn't support it.
