[ Upstream commit 189f1a976e426011e6a5588f1d3ceedf71fe2965 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit c73a9683cb21012b6c0f14217974837151c527a8 ]

When upgrading to libbpf 1.3 we noticed a big performance hit while
loading programs using CORE on non base-BTF symbols. This was tracked
down to the new BTF sanity check logic. The issue is the base BTF
definitions are checked first for the base BTF and then again for every
module BTF.

Loading 5 dummy programs (using libbpf-rs) that are using CORE on a
non-base BTF symbol on my system:
- Before this fix: 3s.
- With this fix: 0.1s.

Fix this by only checking the types starting at the BTF start id. This
should ensure the base BTF is still checked as expected but only once
(btf-&gt;start_id == 1 when creating the base BTF), and then only
additional types are checked for each module BTF.

[ Upstream commit cc5083d1f3881624ad2de1f3cbb3a07e152cb254 ]

I encountered an issue when building the test_progs from the repository [1]:

  $ pwd
  /work/Qemu/x86_64/linux-6.10-rc2/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/

  $ make test_progs V=1

  Error: failed to link './ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o': No such file or directory (2)
  [...]

Upon investigation, I discovered that the btf_types referenced in the '.ksyms'
section had a kind of BTF_KIND_FUNC instead of BTF_KIND_VAR:

  $ bpftool btf dump file ./ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o

Make sure to preserve and/or enforce FD_CLOEXEC flag on duped FDs.
Use dup3() with O_CLOEXEC flag for that.

Without this fix libbpf effectively clears FD_CLOEXEC flag on each of BPF
map/prog FD, which is definitely not the right or expected behavior.

<content type='text'>
Libbpf is automatically (and transparently to user) detecting
multi-uprobe support in the kernel, and, if supported, uses
multi-uprobes to improve USDT attachment speed.

USDTs can be attached system-wide or for the specific process by PID. In
the latter case, we rely on correct kernel logic of not triggering USDT
for unrelated processes.

As such, on older kernels that do support multi-uprobes, but still have
broken PID filtering logic, we need to fall back to singular uprobes.

Unfortunately, whether user is using PID filtering or not is known at
the attachment time, which happens after relevant BPF programs were
loaded into the kernel. Also unfortunately, we need to make a call
whether to use multi-uprobes or singular uprobe for SEC("usdt") programs
during BPF object load time, at which point we have no information about
possible PID filtering.

The distinction between single and multi-uprobes is small, but important
for the kernel. Multi-uprobes get BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_MULTI attach type,
and kernel internally substitiute different implementation of some of
BPF helpers (e.g., bpf_get_attach_cookie()) depending on whether uprobe
is multi or singular. So, multi-uprobes and singular uprobes cannot be
intermixed.

All the above implies that we have to make an early and conservative
call about the use of multi-uprobes. And so this patch modifies libbpf's
existing feature detector for multi-uprobe support to also check correct
PID filtering. If PID filtering is not yet fixed, we fall back to
singular uprobes for USDTs.

This extension to feature detection is simple thanks to kernel's -EINVAL
addition for pid &lt; 0.

USDTs can be attached system-wide or for the specific process by PID. In
the latter case, we rely on correct kernel logic of not triggering USDT
for unrelated processes.

As such, on older kernels that do support multi-uprobes, but still have
broken PID filtering logic, we need to fall back to singular uprobes.

Unfortunately, whether user is using PID filtering or not is known at
the attachment time, which happens after relevant BPF programs were
loaded into the kernel. Also unfortunately, we need to make a call
whether to use multi-uprobes or singular uprobe for SEC("usdt") programs
during BPF object load time, at which point we have no information about
possible PID filtering.

The distinction between single and multi-uprobes is small, but important
for the kernel. Multi-uprobes get BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_MULTI attach type,
and kernel internally substitiute different implementation of some of
BPF helpers (e.g., bpf_get_attach_cookie()) depending on whether uprobe
is multi or singular. So, multi-uprobes and singular uprobes cannot be
intermixed.

All the above implies that we have to make an early and conservative
call about the use of multi-uprobes. And so this patch modifies libbpf's
existing feature detector for multi-uprobe support to also check correct
PID filtering. If PID filtering is not yet fixed, we fall back to
singular uprobes for USDTs.

This extension to feature detection is simple thanks to kernel's -EINVAL
addition for pid &lt; 0.

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "General:

   - Integrate the shellcheck utility with the build of perf to allow
     catching shell problems early in areas such as 'perf test', 'perf
     trace' scrape scripts, etc

   - Add 'uretprobe' variant in the 'perf bench uprobe' tool

   - Add script to run instances of 'perf script' in parallel

   - Allow parsing tracepoint names that start with digits, such as
     9p/9p_client_req, etc. Make sure 'perf test' tests it even on
     systems where those tracepoints aren't available

   - Add Kan Liang to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer

   - Add support for using the 'capstone' disassembler library in
     various tools, such as 'perf script' and 'perf annotate'. This is
     an alternative for the use of the 'xed' and 'objdump' disassemblers

  Data-type profiling improvements:

   - Resolve types for a-&gt;b-&gt;c by backtracking the assignments until it
     finds DWARF info for one of those members

   - Support for global variables, keeping a cache to speed up lookups

   - Handle the 'call' instruction, dealing with effects on registers
     and handling its return when tracking register data types

   - Handle x86's segment based addressing like %gs:0x28, to support
     things like per CPU variables, the stack canary, etc

   - Data-type profiling got big speedups when using capstone for
     disassembling. The objdump outoput parsing method is left as a
     fallback when capstone fails or isn't available. There are patches
     posted for 6.11 that to use a LLVM disassembler

   - Support event group display in the TUI when annotating types with
     --data-type, for instance to show memory load and store events for
     the data type fields

   - Optimize the 'perf annotate' data structures, reducing memory usage

   - Add a initial 'perf test' for 'perf annotate', checking that a
     target symbol appears on the output, specifying objdump via the
     command line, etc

  Vendor Events:

   - Update Intel JSON files for Cascade Lake X, Emerald Rapids, Grand
     Ridge, Ice Lake X, Lunar Lake, Meteor Lake, Sapphire Rapids, Sierra
     Forest, Sky Lake X, Sky Lake and Snow Ridge X. Remove info metrics
     erroneously in TopdownL1

   - Add AMD's Zen 5 core and uncore events and metrics. Those come from
     the "Performance Monitor Counters for AMD Family 1Ah Model 00h- 0Fh
     Processors" document, with events that capture information on op
     dispatch, execution and retirement, branch prediction, L1 and L2
     cache activity, TLB activity, etc

   - Mark L1D_CACHE_INVAL impacted by errata for ARM64's AmpereOne/
     AmpereOneX

  Miscellaneous:

   - Sync header copies with the kernel sources

   - Move some header copies used only for generating translation string
     tables for ioctl cmds and other syscall integer arguments to a new
     directory under tools/perf/beauty/, to separate from copies in
     tools/include/ that are used to build the tools

   - Introduce scrape script for several syscall 'flags'/'mask'
     arguments

   - Improve cpumap utilization, fixing up pairing of refcounts, using
     the right iterators (perf_cpu_map__for_each_cpu), etc

   - Give more details about raw event encodings in 'perf list', show
     tracepoint encoding in the detailed output

   - Refactor the DSOs handling code, reducing memory usage

   - Document the BPF event modifier and add a 'perf test' for it

   - Improve the event parser, better error messages and add further
     'perf test's for it

   - Add reference count checking to 'struct comm_str' and 'struct
     mem_info'

   - Make ARM64's 'perf test' entries for the Neoverse N1 more robust

   - Tweak the ARM64's Coresight 'perf test's

   - Improve ARM64's CoreSight ETM version detection and error reporting

   - Fix handling of symbols when using kcore

   - Fix PAI (Processor Activity Instrumentation) counter names for s390
     virtual machines in 'perf report'

   - Fix -g/--call-graph option failure in 'perf sched timehist'

   - Add LIBTRACEEVENT_DIR build option to allow building with
     libtraceevent installed in non-standard directories, such as when
     doing cross builds

   - Various 'perf test' and 'perf bench' fixes

   - Improve 'perf probe' error message for long C++ probe names"

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.
