When attaching to uprobes through perf subsystem, it's possible to specify
offset of a so-called USDT semaphore, which is just a reference counted u16,
used by kernel to keep track of how many tracers are attached to a given
location. Support for this feature was added in [0], so just wire this through
uprobe_opts. This is important to enable implementing USDT attachment and
tracing through libbpf's bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts() API.

Wire through bpf_cookie for all attach APIs that use perf_event_open under the
hood:
  - for kprobes, extend existing bpf_kprobe_opts with bpf_cookie field;
  - for perf_event, uprobe, and tracepoint APIs, add their _opts variants and
    pass bpf_cookie through opts.

For kernel that don't support BPF_LINK_CREATE for perf_events, and thus
bpf_cookie is not supported either, return error and log warning for user.

Add ability to specify bpf_cookie value when creating BPF perf link with
bpf_link_create() low-level API.

Given BPF_LINK_CREATE command is growing and keeps getting new fields that are
specific to the type of BPF_LINK, extend libbpf side of bpf_link_create() API
and corresponding OPTS struct to accomodate such changes. Add extra checks to
prevent using incompatible/unexpected combinations of fields.

<title>libbpf: Use BPF perf link when supported by kernel</title>

Detect kernel support for BPF perf link and prefer it when attaching to
perf_event, tracepoint, kprobe/uprobe. Underlying perf_event FD will be kept
open until BPF link is destroyed, at which point both perf_event FD and BPF
link FD will be closed.

This preserves current behavior in which perf_event FD is open for the
duration of bpf_link's lifetime and user is able to "disconnect" bpf_link from
underlying FD (with bpf_link__disconnect()), so that bpf_link__destroy()
doesn't close underlying perf_event FD.When BPF perf link is used, disconnect
will keep both perf_event and bpf_link FDs open, so it will be up to
(advanced) user to close them. This approach is demonstrated in bpf_cookie.c
selftests, added in this patch set.

bpf_link-&gt;destroy() isn't used by any code, so remove it. Instead, add ability
to override deallocation procedure, with default doing plain free(link). This
is necessary for cases when we want to "subclass" struct bpf_link to keep
extra information, as is the case in the next patch adding struct
bpf_link_perf.

<title>libbpf: Support weak typed ksyms.</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently weak typeless ksyms have default value zero, when they don't
exist in the kernel. However, weak typed ksyms are rejected by libbpf
if they can not be resolved. This means that if a bpf object contains
the declaration of a nonexistent weak typed ksym, it will be rejected
even if there is no program that references the symbol.

Nonexistent weak typed ksyms can also default to zero just like
typeless ones. This allows programs that access weak typed ksyms to be
accepted by verifier, if the accesses are guarded. For example,

extern const int bpf_link_fops3 __ksym __weak;

/* then in BPF program */

if (&amp;bpf_link_fops3) {
   /* use bpf_link_fops3 */
}

If actual use of nonexistent typed ksym is not guarded properly,
verifier would see that register is not PTR_TO_BTF_ID and wouldn't
allow to use it for direct memory reads or passing it to BPF helpers.

<title>libbpf: Do not close un-owned FD 0 on errors</title>

<content type='text'>
Before this patch, btf_new() was liable to close an arbitrary FD 0 if
BTF parsing failed. This was because:

* btf-&gt;fd was initialized to 0 through the calloc()
* btf__free() (in the `done` label) closed any FDs &gt;= 0
* btf-&gt;fd is left at 0 if parsing fails

This issue was discovered on a system using libbpf v0.3 (without
BTF_KIND_FLOAT support) but with a kernel that had BTF_KIND_FLOAT types
in BTF. Thus, parsing fails.

While this patch technically doesn't fix any issues b/c upstream libbpf
has BTF_KIND_FLOAT support, it'll help prevent issues in the future if
more BTF types are added. It also allow the fix to be backported to
older libbpf's.
