Support for handling BTF data of either endianness was added in [1], but
did not include BTF.ext data for lack of use cases. Later, support for
static linking [2] provided a use case, but this feature and later ones
were restricted to native-endian usage.

Add support for BTF.ext handling in either endianness. Convert BTF.ext data
to native endianness when read into memory for further processing, and
support raw data access that restores the original byte-order for output.
Add internal header functions for byte-swapping func, line, and core info
records.

Add new API functions btf_ext__endianness() and btf_ext__set_endianness()
for query and setting byte-order, as already exist for BTF data.

<title>libbpf: Make btf_parse_elf process .BTF.base transparently</title>

Update btf_parse_elf() to check if .BTF.base section is present.
The logic is as follows:

  if .BTF.base section exists:
     distilled_base := btf_new(.BTF.base)
  if distilled_base:
     btf := btf_new(.BTF, .base_btf=distilled_base)
     if base_btf:
        btf_relocate(btf, base_btf)
  else:
     btf := btf_new(.BTF)
  return btf

In other words:
- if .BTF.base section exists, load BTF from it and use it as a base
  for .BTF load;
- if base_btf is specified and .BTF.base section exist, relocate newly
  loaded .BTF against base_btf.

Map distilled base BTF type ids referenced in split BTF and their
references to the base BTF passed in, and if the mapping succeeds,
reparent the split BTF to the base BTF.

Relocation is done by first verifying that distilled base BTF
only consists of named INT, FLOAT, ENUM, FWD, STRUCT and
UNION kinds; then we sort these to speed lookups.  Once sorted,
the base BTF is iterated, and for each relevant kind we check
for an equivalent in distilled base BTF.  When found, the
mapping from distilled -&gt; base BTF id and string offset is recorded.
In establishing mappings, we need to ensure we check STRUCT/UNION
size when the STRUCT/UNION is embedded in a split BTF STRUCT/UNION,
and when duplicate names exist for the same STRUCT/UNION.  Otherwise
size is ignored in matching STRUCT/UNIONs.

Once all mappings are established, we can update type ids
and string offsets in split BTF and reparent it to the new base.

<title>libbpf: Add btf__distill_base() creating split BTF with distilled base BTF</title>

<id>58e185a0dc359a6c1c9eff348d7badfc9f722159</id>
<content type='text'>
To support more robust split BTF, adding supplemental context for the
base BTF type ids that split BTF refers to is required.  Without such
references, a simple shuffling of base BTF type ids (without any other
significant change) invalidates the split BTF.  Here the attempt is made
to store additional context to make split BTF more robust.

This context comes in the form of distilled base BTF providing minimal
information (name and - in some cases - size) for base INTs, FLOATs,
STRUCTs, UNIONs, ENUMs and ENUM64s along with modified split BTF that
points at that base and contains any additional types needed (such as
TYPEDEF, PTR and anonymous STRUCT/UNION declarations).  This
information constitutes the minimal BTF representation needed to
disambiguate or remove split BTF references to base BTF.  The rules
are as follows:

- INT, FLOAT, FWD are recorded in full.
- if a named base BTF STRUCT or UNION is referred to from split BTF, it
  will be encoded as a zero-member sized STRUCT/UNION (preserving
  size for later relocation checks).  Only base BTF STRUCT/UNIONs
  that are either embedded in split BTF STRUCT/UNIONs or that have
  multiple STRUCT/UNION instances of the same name will _need_ size
  checks at relocation time, but as it is possible a different set of
  types will be duplicates in the later to-be-resolved base BTF,
  we preserve size information for all named STRUCT/UNIONs.
- if an ENUM[64] is named, a ENUM forward representation (an ENUM
  with no values) of the same size is used.
- in all other cases, the type is added to the new split BTF.

Avoiding struct/union/enum/enum64 expansion is important to keep the
distilled base BTF representation to a minimum size.

When successful, new representations of the distilled base BTF and new
split BTF that refers to it are returned.  Both need to be freed by the
caller.

So to take a simple example, with split BTF with a type referring
to "struct sk_buff", we will generate distilled base BTF with a
0-member STRUCT sk_buff of the appropriate size, and the split BTF
will refer to it instead.

Tools like pahole can utilize such split BTF to populate the .BTF
section (split BTF) and an additional .BTF.base section.  Then
when the split BTF is loaded, the distilled base BTF can be used
to relocate split BTF to reference the current (and possibly changed)
base BTF.

So for example if "struct sk_buff" was id 502 when the split BTF was
originally generated,  we can use the distilled base BTF to see that
id 502 refers to a "struct sk_buff" and replace instances of id 502
with the current (relocated) base BTF sk_buff type id.

Distilled base BTF is small; when building a kernel with all modules
using distilled base BTF as a test, overall module size grew by only
5.3Mb total across ~2700 modules.

<title>libbpf: Don't require full struct enum64 in UAPI headers</title>

<id>87dbdc230d162bf9ee1ac77c8ade178b6b1e199e</id>
<content type='text'>
Drop the requirement for system-wide kernel UAPI headers to provide full
struct btf_enum64 definition. This is an unexpected requirement that
slipped in libbpf 1.0 and put unnecessary pressure ([0]) on users to have
a bleeding-edge kernel UAPI header from unreleased Linux 6.0.

To achieve this, we forward declare struct btf_enum64. But that's not
enough as there is btf_enum64_value() helper that expects to know the
layout of struct btf_enum64. So we get a bit creative with
reinterpreting memory layout as array of __u32 and accesing lo32/hi32
fields as array elements. Alternative way would be to have a local
pointer variable for anonymous struct with exactly the same layout as
struct btf_enum64, but that gets us into C++ compiler errors complaining
about invalid type casts. So play it safe, if ugly.

The enum64 relocation support is added. The bpf local type
could be either enum or enum64 and the remote type could be
either enum or enum64 too. The all combinations of local enum/enum64
and remote enum/enum64 are supported.

<title>libbpf: Add enum64 sanitization</title>

When old kernel does not support enum64 but user space btf
contains non-zero enum kflag or enum64, libbpf needs to
do proper sanitization so modified btf can be accepted
by the kernel.

Sanitization for enum kflag can be achieved by clearing
the kflag bit. For enum64, the type is replaced with an
union of integer member types and the integer member size
must be smaller than enum64 size. If such an integer
type cannot be found, a new type is created and used
for union members.
