This adds documention for:

- bpf_map_delete_batch()
- bpf_map_lookup_batch()
- bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_batch()
- bpf_map_update_batch()

This also updates the public API for the `keys` parameter
of `bpf_map_delete_batch()`, and both the
`keys` and `values` parameters of `bpf_map_update_batch()`
to be constants.

<title>libbpf: Auto-bump RLIMIT_MEMLOCK if kernel needs it for BPF</title>

<id>e542f2c4cd16d49392abf3349341d58153d3c603</id>
<content type='text'>
The need to increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to do anything useful with BPF is
one of the first extremely frustrating gotchas that all new BPF users go
through and in some cases have to learn it a very hard way.

Luckily, starting with upstream Linux kernel version 5.11, BPF subsystem
dropped the dependency on memlock and uses memcg-based memory accounting
instead. Unfortunately, detecting memcg-based BPF memory accounting is
far from trivial (as can be evidenced by this patch), so in practice
most BPF applications still do unconditional RLIMIT_MEMLOCK increase.

As we move towards libbpf 1.0, it would be good to allow users to forget
about RLIMIT_MEMLOCK vs memcg and let libbpf do the sensible adjustment
automatically. This patch paves the way forward in this matter. Libbpf
will do feature detection of memcg-based accounting, and if detected,
will do nothing. But if the kernel is too old, just like BCC, libbpf
will automatically increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK on behalf of user
application ([0]).

As this is technically a breaking change, during the transition period
applications have to opt into libbpf 1.0 mode by setting
LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bit when calling
libbpf_set_strict_mode().

Libbpf allows to control the exact amount of set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit
with libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() API. Passing 0 will make libbpf do
nothing with RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() has to be
called before the first bpf_prog_load(), bpf_btf_load(), or
bpf_object__load() call, otherwise it has no effect and will return
-EBUSY.

<title>libbpf: Add sane strncpy alternative and use it internally</title>

strncpy() has a notoriously error-prone semantics which makes GCC
complain about it a lot (and quite often completely completely falsely
at that). Instead of pleasing GCC all the time (-Wno-stringop-truncation
is unfortunately only supported by GCC, so it's a bit too messy to just
enable it in Makefile), add libbpf-internal libbpf_strlcpy() helper
which follows what FreeBSD's strlcpy() does and what most people would
expect from strncpy(): copies up to N-1 first bytes from source string
into destination string and ensures zero-termination afterwards.

Replace all the relevant uses of strncpy/strncat/memcpy in libbpf with
libbpf_strlcpy().

This also fixes the issue reported by Emmanuel Deloget in xsk.c where
memcpy() could access source string beyond its end.

<title>libbpf: Add OPTS-based bpf_btf_load() API</title>

<content type='text'>
Similar to previous bpf_prog_load() and bpf_map_create() APIs, add
bpf_btf_load() API which is taking optional OPTS struct. Schedule
bpf_load_btf() for deprecation in v0.8 ([0]).

This makes naming consistent with BPF_BTF_LOAD command, sets up an API
for extensibility in the future, moves options parameters (log-related
fields) into optional options, and also allows to pass log_level
directly.

It also removes log buffer auto-allocation logic from low-level API
(consistent with bpf_prog_load() behavior), but preserves a special
treatment of log_level == 0 with non-NULL log_buf, which matches
low-level bpf_prog_load() and high-level libbpf APIs for BTF and program
loading behaviors.

To unify libbpf APIs behavior w.r.t. log_buf and log_level, fix
bpf_prog_load() to follow the same logic as bpf_btf_load() and
high-level bpf_object__load() API will follow in the subsequent patches:
  - if log_level is 0 and non-NULL log_buf is provided by a user, attempt
    load operation initially with no log_buf and log_level set;
  - if successful, we are done, return new FD;
  - on error, retry the load operation with log_level bumped to 1 and
    log_buf set; this way verbose logging will be requested only when we
    are sure that there is a failure, but will be fast in the
    common/expected success case.

Of course, user can still specify log_level &gt; 0 from the very beginning
to force log collection.

Add the __NR_bpf definitions to fix the following build errors for mips:

  $ cd tools/bpf/bpftool
  $ make
  [...]
  bpf.c:54:4: error: #error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch.

    return syscall(__NR_bpf, cmd, attr, size);

    return syscall(__NR_bpf, cmd, attr, size);
                   ^~~~~~~~
                   __NR_brk

We can see the following generated definitions:

  $ grep -r "#define __NR_bpf" arch/mips
  arch/mips/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_o32.h:#define __NR_bpf (__NR_Linux + 355)
  arch/mips/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_n64.h:#define __NR_bpf (__NR_Linux + 315)
  arch/mips/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_n32.h:#define __NR_bpf (__NR_Linux + 319)

The __NR_Linux is defined in arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:

  $ grep -r "#define __NR_Linux" arch/mips
  arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define __NR_Linux	4000
  arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define __NR_Linux	5000
  arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define __NR_Linux	6000

That is to say, __NR_bpf is:

  4000 + 355 = 4355 for mips o32,
  6000 + 319 = 6319 for mips n32,
  5000 + 315 = 5315 for mips n64.

So use the GCC pre-defined macro _ABIO32, _ABIN32 and _ABI64 [1] to define
the corresponding __NR_bpf.

This patch is similar with commit bad1926dd2f6 ("bpf, s390: fix build for
libbpf and selftest suite").

pull-request: bpf-next 2021-11-15

We've added 72 non-merge commits during the last 13 day(s) which contain
a total of 171 files changed, 2728 insertions(+), 1143 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add btf_type_tag attributes to bring kernel annotations like __user/__rcu to
   BTF such that BPF verifier will be able to detect misuse, from Yonghong Song.

2) Big batch of libbpf improvements including various fixes, future proofing APIs,
   and adding a unified, OPTS-based bpf_prog_load() low-level API, from Andrii Nakryiko.

3) Add ingress_ifindex to BPF_SK_LOOKUP program type for selectively applying the
   programmable socket lookup logic to packets from a given netdev, from Mark Pashmfouroush.

4) Remove the 128M upper JIT limit for BPF programs on arm64 and add selftest to
   ensure exception handling still works, from Russell King and Alan Maguire.

5) Add a new bpf_find_vma() helper for tracing to map an address to the backing
   file such as shared library, from Song Liu.

6) Batch of various misc fixes to bpftool, fixing a memory leak in BPF program dump,
   updating documentation and bash-completion among others, from Quentin Monnet.

7) Deprecate libbpf bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear() API and migrate its users as
   the API is heavily tailored around perf and is non-generic, from Dave Marchevsky.

8) Enable libbpf's strict mode by default in bpftool and add a --legacy option as an
   opt-out for more relaxed BPF program requirements, from Stanislav Fomichev.

9) Fix bpftool to use libbpf_get_error() to check for errors, from Hengqi Chen.

<title>libbpf: Unify low-level BPF_PROG_LOAD APIs into bpf_prog_load()</title>

<id>d10ef2b825cffd0807dd733fdfd6a5bea32270d7</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new unified OPTS-based low-level API for program loading,
bpf_prog_load() ([0]).  bpf_prog_load() accepts few "mandatory"
parameters as input arguments (program type, name, license,
instructions) and all the other optional (as in not required to specify
for all types of BPF programs) fields into struct bpf_prog_load_opts.

This makes all the other non-extensible APIs variant for BPF_PROG_LOAD
obsolete and they are slated for deprecation in libbpf v0.7:
  - bpf_load_program();
  - bpf_load_program_xattr();
  - bpf_verify_program().

Implementation-wise, internal helper libbpf__bpf_prog_load is refactored
to become a public bpf_prog_load() API. struct bpf_prog_load_params used
internally is replaced by public struct bpf_prog_load_opts.

Unfortunately, while conceptually all this is pretty straightforward,
the biggest complication comes from the already existing bpf_prog_load()
*high-level* API, which has nothing to do with BPF_PROG_LOAD command.

We try really hard to have a new API named bpf_prog_load(), though,
because it maps naturally to BPF_PROG_LOAD command.

For that, we rename old bpf_prog_load() into bpf_prog_load_deprecated()
and mark it as COMPAT_VERSION() for shared library users compiled
against old version of libbpf. Statically linked users and shared lib
users compiled against new version of libbpf headers will get "rerouted"
to bpf_prog_deprecated() through a macro helper that decides whether to
use new or old bpf_prog_load() based on number of input arguments (see
___libbpf_overload in libbpf_common.h).

To test that existing
bpf_prog_load()-using code compiles and works as expected, I've compiled
and ran selftests as is. I had to remove (locally) selftest/bpf/Makefile
-Dbpf_prog_load=bpf_prog_test_load hack because it was conflicting with
the macro-based overload approach. I don't expect anyone else to do
something like this in practice, though. This is testing-specific way to
replace bpf_prog_load() calls with special testing variant of it, which
adds extra prog_flags value. After testing I kept this selftests hack,
but ensured that we use a new bpf_prog_load_deprecated name for this.

This patch also marks bpf_prog_load() and bpf_prog_load_xattr() as deprecated.
bpf_object interface has to be used for working with struct bpf_program.
Libbpf doesn't support loading just a bpf_program.

The silver lining is that when we get to libbpf 1.0 all these
complication will be gone and we'll have one clean bpf_prog_load()
low-level API with no backwards compatibility hackery surrounding it.
