[ Upstream commit 601b05ca6edb0422bf6ce313fbfd55ec7bbbc0fd ]

In case the cpu_bufs are sparsely allocated they are not all
free'ed. These changes will fix this.

<title>tools api fs: Make xxx__mountpoint() more scalable</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c6fddb28bad26e5472cb7acf7b04cd5126f1a4ab ]

The xxx_mountpoint() interface provided by fs.c finds mount points for
common pseudo filesystems. The first time xxx_mountpoint() is invoked,
it scans the mount table (/proc/mounts) looking for a match. If found,
it is cached. The price to scan /proc/mounts is paid once if the mount
is found.

When the mount point is not found, subsequent calls to xxx_mountpoint()
scan /proc/mounts over and over again.  There is no caching.

This causes a scaling issue in perf record with hugeltbfs__mountpoint().
The function is called for each process found in
synthesize__mmap_events().  If the machine has thousands of processes
and if the /proc/mounts has many entries this could cause major overhead
in perf record. We have observed multi-second slowdowns on some
configurations.

As an example on a laptop:

Before:

  $ sudo umount /dev/hugepages
  $ strace -e trace=openat -o /tmp/tt perf record -a ls
  $ fgrep mounts /tmp/tt
  285

After:

  $ sudo umount /dev/hugepages
  $ strace -e trace=openat -o /tmp/tt perf record -a ls
  $ fgrep mounts /tmp/tt
  1

One could argue that the non-caching in case the moint point is not
found is intentional. That way subsequent calls may discover a moint
point if the sysadmin mounts the filesystem. But the same argument could
be made against caching the mount point. It could be unmounted causing
errors.  It all depends on the intent of the interface. This patch
assumes it is expected to scan /proc/mounts once. The patch documents
the caching behavior in the fs.h header file.

An alternative would be to just fix perf record. But it would solve the
problem with hugetlbs__mountpoint() but there could be similar issues
(possibly down the line) with other xxx_mountpoint() calls in perf or
other tools.

The commit in the Fixes tag changed get_xdp_id to only return prog_id
if flags is 0, but there are other XDP flags than the modes - e.g.,
XDP_FLAGS_UPDATE_IF_NOEXIST. Since the intention was only to look at
MODE flags, clear other ones before checking if flags is 0.

The 'old_fd' parameter used for atomic replacement of XDP programs is
supposed to be an FD, but was left as a u32 from an earlier iteration of
the patch that added it. It was converted to an int when read, so things
worked correctly even with negative values, but better change the
definition to correctly reflect the intention.

<title>libbpf: Always specify expected_attach_type on program load if supported</title>

For some types of BPF programs that utilize expected_attach_type, libbpf won't
set load_attr.expected_attach_type, even if expected_attach_type is known from
section definition. This was done to preserve backwards compatibility with old
kernels that didn't recognize expected_attach_type attribute yet (which was
added in 5e43f899b03a ("bpf: Check attach type at prog load time"). But this
is problematic for some BPF programs that utilize newer features that require
kernel to know specific expected_attach_type (e.g., extended set of return
codes for cgroup_skb/egress programs).

This patch makes libbpf specify expected_attach_type by default, but also
detect support for this field in kernel and not set it during program load.
This allows to have a good metadata for bpf_program
(e.g., bpf_program__get_extected_attach_type()), but still work with old
kernels (for cases where it can work at all).

Additionally, due to expected_attach_type being always set for recognized
program types, bpf_program__attach_cgroup doesn't have to do extra checks to
determine correct attach type, so remove that additional logic.

Also adjust section_names selftest to account for this change.
