bpf_arena_spin_lock.h defines its 64KB qnodes array in the header, so
every translation unit including it emits a copy. __weak makes them all
resolve to one instance, but bpftool gen object merges only the symbols
and concatenates each input's .addr_space.1 bytes, leaving the surplus
copies unreferenced in the linked object.
libarena links ten such units, so nine copies were dead weight (bytes):
object before after
-----------------------------------------------------
.addr_space.1 in libarena.bpf.o 676200 86376
libarena.skel.h 2100123 892371
libarena_asan.skel.h 2641124 1466477
Declare qnodes in the header and let each program define it once:
libarena in src/common.bpf.c, and the arena_spin_lock test beside the
lock it guards.
Tested with test_progs -t arena_spin_lock and -t libarena.

When building bpf selftest with latest bpf-next, I got the following failure:
In file included from /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/libarena/selftests/test_parallel_bitmap.bpf.c:8:
/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/libarena/include/libarena/bitmap.h:11:8: error: redefinition of

/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h:51320:8: note: previous definition is here
51320 | struct bitmap {

The vmlinux.h struct bitmap comes from drivers/md/md-bitmap.c:
struct bitmap {
struct bitmap_counts { ... }
...
}
To fix the issue, I renamed libarena struct bitmap to arena_bitmap to avoid the conflict.

Add an arena-based word-aligned bitmap data struture. The
structure is useful as a building block, e.g., sched-ext
uses it to represent cpumask structures.

Summary: The buddy allocator requires the global BPF buddy allocator
to not be already initialized. However, the test currently merely resets
the allocator before the buddy tests instead of destroying it, and the
test worked because the buddy test happened to run first. Properly
destroy the allocator instead of resetting it.

BPF can_loop based loops require the index variable to stay imprecise.
This means we must initialize them from a currently imprecise variable
instead of directly assigning 0 to them, like so:
static volatile u32 zero = 0;
for (i = zero; i < NUM_LOOPS; i++) {
/* loop body */
}
The libarena implementation of this technique is currently faulty. For
the technique to work, the variable must not be in a map. This includes
the .rodata DATASEC map used for const variables. However, libarena
still defines the zero variable as constant.
Modify the zero variable definition into a volatile variable. This
change adds a complication caused by the compiler optimizing array
derefences from
for (i = zero; i < NUM_LOOPS; i++) {
val = *(ptr + i);
}
into
for (i = zero; i < NUM_LOOPS; i++) {
val = *ptr++;
}
and causing verification failures. Use the barrier_var() clobber macro
to prevent this optimization from taking place. Using barrier_var() is
the only way to break the optimization, as annotating the index as
volatile does not suffice.
After that, remove the bpf_for() invocations introduced in libarena for
parallel spmc testing.

Expand libarena with a single producer multiple consumer deque data
structure. This is a single producer, multiple consumer lockless structure
that permits efficient work stealing. The structure is a Lev-Chase queue,
so it is lock-free and wait-free.
The data structure exposes three main calls. two of them are available to
the thread owning the queue and one available to all threads in the program:
spmc_owner_push(): Push an item to the top of the queue.
spmc_owner_pop(): Pop an item from the top of the queue.
spmc_steal(): Steal a thread from the bottom of the queue from
any thread.
Note that the queue is not really FIFO for all consumers, since
non-owners of the queue can only work steal from the bottom.

Add a native red-black tree data structure to libarena.
The data structure supports multiple APIs (key-value based,
node based) with which users can query and modify it. The
tree uses the libarena memory allocator to manage its data.

Now that the __arena annotation includes a BTF type tag, and the
verifier can identify arena pointers at BTF loading time, return
arena pointers as their true type instead of casting to u64. Remove the
preprocessor typecast wrappers used to hide this from the caller.

Now that BPF __arg_arena has been subsumed by __arena, remove
__arg_arena from the codebase. This way the user has one fewer
annotation to worry about.
To remove __arg_arena we remove the typedefs we were previously
using to minimize __arena annotations. This is because __arena
now also includes a BTF type tag, which is ignored for non-pointer
types. As a result, we cannot capture the whole __arena annotation
inside a typedef and need to directly annotate the pointer type when
declaring the variable.
The extra verbosity is worth it because the use of the __arena tag
is intuitive to the programmer and removes the __arg_arena tag that
has been a consistent source of confusion for users. The typedefs
can be reintroduced later (without __arg_arena) once compilers start
supporting BTF type tags for non-pointer types.

with the malloc/free definitions. Rename the calls to arena_malloc and
arena_free instead to prevent collisions.

Add a byte-oriented buddy allocator for libarena. The buddy
allocator provides an alloc/free interface for small arena allocations
ranging from 16 bytes to 512 KiB. Lower allocations values are rounded
up to 16 bytes. The buddy allocator does not handle larger allocations
that can instead use the existing bpf_arena_{alloc, free}_pages() kfunc.

Add an address sanitizer (ASAN) runtime to the arena library. The
ASAN runtime implements the functions injected into BPF binaries
by LLVM sanitization when ASAN is enabled during compilation.
The runtime also includes functions called explicitly by memory
allocation code to mark memory as poisoned/unpoisoned to ASAN.
This code is a no-op when sanitization is turned off.

Add initial code and a Makefile for an arena-based BPF library. Modules
can be added just by including the source file in the library's src/
subdirectory. Future commits will introduce the library code itself.
The code includes workarounds that are removed in subsequent patches
that ensure bisectability.
