[ 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.

The current fs_context:

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.

[ Upstream commit 17bcd27a08a21397698edf143084d7c87ce17946 ]

The code assumes that everything that comes after nlmsgerr are nlattrs.
When calculating their size, it does not account for the initial
nlmsghdr. This may lead to accessing uninitialized memory.

<title>libbpf: Fix btf__align_of() by taking into account field offsets</title>

[ Upstream commit 25a4481b4136af7794e1df2d6c90ed2f354d60ce ]

btf__align_of() is supposed to be return alignment requirement of
a requested BTF type. For STRUCT/UNION it doesn't always return correct
value, because it calculates alignment only based on field types. But
for packed structs this is not enough, we need to also check field
offsets and struct size. If field offset isn't aligned according to
field type's natural alignment, then struct must be packed. Similarly,
if struct size is not a multiple of struct's natural alignment, then
struct must be packed as well.

This patch fixes this issue precisely by additionally checking these
conditions.

<title>libbpf: Avoid enum forward-declarations in public API in C++ mode</title>

[ Upstream commit b42693415b86f608049cf1b4870adc1dc65e58b0 ]

C++ enum forward declarations are fundamentally not compatible with pure
C enum definitions, and so libbpf's use of `enum bpf_stats_type;`
forward declaration in libbpf/bpf.h public API header is causing C++
compilation issues.

More details can be found in [0], but it comes down to C++ supporting
enum forward declaration only with explicitly specified backing type:

  enum bpf_stats_type: int;

In C (and I believe it's a GCC extension also), such forward declaration
is simply:

  enum bpf_stats_type;

Further, in Linux UAPI this enum is defined in pure C way:

enum bpf_stats_type { BPF_STATS_RUN_TIME = 0; }

And even though in both cases backing type is int, which can be
confirmed by looking at DWARF information, for C++ compiler actual enum
definition and forward declaration are incompatible.

To eliminate this problem, for C++ mode define input argument as int,
which makes enum unnecessary in libbpf public header. This solves the
issue and as demonstrated by next patch doesn't cause any unwanted
compiler warnings, at least with default warnings setting.

[ Upstream commit dfd0afbf151d85411b371e841f62b81ee5d1ca54 ]

GCC 11.3.0 fails to compile btf_dump.c due to the following error,
which seems to originate in btf_dump_struct_data where the returned
value would be uninitialized if btf_vlen returns zero.

btf_dump.c: In function ‘btf_dump_dump_type_data’:
btf_dump.c:2363:12: error: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
