<title>libbpf: Handle BTF pointer sizes more carefully</title>

<content type='text'>
With libbpf and BTF it is pretty common to have libbpf built for one
architecture, while BTF information was generated for a different architecture
(typically, but not always, BPF). In such case, the size of a pointer might
differ betweem architectures. libbpf previously was always making an
assumption that pointer size for BTF is the same as native architecture
pointer size, but that breaks for cases where libbpf is built as 32-bit
library, while BTF is for 64-bit architecture.

To solve this, add heuristic to determine pointer size by searching for `long`
or `unsigned long` integer type and using its size as a pointer size. Also,
allow to override the pointer size with a new API btf__set_pointer_size(), for
cases where application knows which pointer size should be used. User
application can check what libbpf "guessed" by looking at the result of
btf__pointer_size(). If it's not 0, then libbpf successfully determined a
pointer size, otherwise native arch pointer size will be used.

For cases where BTF is parsed from ELF file, use ELF's class (32-bit or
64-bit) to determine pointer size.

Libbpf built in 32-bit mode should be careful about not conflating 64-bit BPF
pointers in BPF ELF file and host architecture pointers. This patch fixes
issue of incorrect initializating of map-in-map inner map slots due to such
difference.

Turns out there were a few more instances where libbpf didn't save the
errno before writing an error message, causing errno to be overridden by
the printf() return and the error disappearing if logging is enabled.

<title>libbpf: Handle GCC built-in types for Arm NEON</title>

<id>702eddc77a905782083b14ccd05b23840675fd18</id>
<content type='text'>
When building Arm NEON (SIMD) code from lib/raid6/neon.uc, GCC emits
DWARF information using a base type "__Poly8_t", which is internal to
GCC and not recognized by Clang. This causes build failures when
building with Clang a vmlinux.h generated from an arm64 kernel that was
built with GCC.

	vmlinux.h:47284:9: error: unknown type name '__Poly8_t'
	typedef __Poly8_t poly8x16_t[16];
	        ^~~~~~~~~

The polyX_t types are defined as unsigned integers in the "Arm C
Language Extension" document (101028_Q220_00_en). Emit typedefs based on
standard integer types for the GCC internal types, similar to those
emitted by Clang.

Including linux/kernel.h to use ARRAY_SIZE() incidentally redefined
max(), causing a build bug due to different types, hence the seemingly
unrelated change.

<title>libbpf: Do not use __builtin_offsetof for offsetof</title>

Commit 5fbc220862fc ("tools/libpf: Add offsetof/container_of macro
in bpf_helpers.h") added a macro offsetof() to get the offset of a
structure member:

   #define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER)  ((size_t)&amp;((TYPE *)0)-&gt;MEMBER)

In certain use cases, size_t type may not be available so
Commit da7a35062bcc ("libbpf bpf_helpers: Use __builtin_offsetof
for offsetof") changed to use __builtin_offsetof which removed
the dependency on type size_t, which I suggested.

But using __builtin_offsetof will prevent CO-RE relocation
generation in case that, e.g., TYPE is annotated with "preserve_access_info"
where a relocation is desirable in case the member offset is changed
in a different kernel version. So this patch reverted back to
the original macro but using "unsigned long" instead of "site_t".

Recently, from commit 94a1fedd63ed ("libbpf: Add btf__parse_raw() and
generic btf__parse() APIs"), new API has been added to libbpf that
allows to parse BTF from raw data file (btf__parse_raw()).

The commit derives build failure of samples/bpf due to improper access
of uninitialized pointer at btf_parse_raw().

    btf.c: In function btf__parse_raw:
    btf.c:625:28: error: btf may be used uninitialized in this function
      625 |  return err ? ERR_PTR(err) : btf;
          |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~

This commit fixes the build failure of samples/bpf by adding code of
initializing btf pointer as NULL.
