2022-01-19libbpf: Improve btf__add_btf() with an additional hashmap for strings.Kui-Feng Lee
Add a hashmap to map the string offsets from a source btf to the string offsets from a target btf to reduce overheads. btf__add_btf() calls btf__add_str() to add strings from a source to a target btf. It causes many string comparisons, and it is a major hotspot when adding a big btf. btf__add_str() uses strcmp() to check if a hash entry is the right one. The extra hashmap here compares offsets of strings, that are much cheaper. It remembers the results of btf__add_str() for later uses to reduce the cost. We are parallelizing BTF encoding for pahole by creating separated btf instances for worker threads. These per-thread btf instances will be added to the btf instance of the main thread by calling btf__add_str() to deduplicate and write out. With this patch and -j4, the running time of pahole drops to about 6.0s from 6.6s.

2021-12-10libbpf: Allow passing preallocated log_buf when loading BTF into kernelAndrii Nakryiko
Add libbpf-internal btf_load_into_kernel() that allows to pass preallocated log_buf and custom log_level to be passed into kernel during BPF_BTF_LOAD call. When custom log_buf is provided, btf_load_into_kernel() won't attempt an retry with automatically allocated internal temporary buffer to capture BTF validation log. It's important to note the relation between log_buf and log_level, which slightly deviates from stricter kernel logic. From kernel's POV, if log_buf is specified, log_level has to be > 0, and vice versa. While kernel has good reasons to request such "sanity, this, in practice, is a bit unconvenient and restrictive for libbpf's high-level bpf_object APIs. So libbpf will allow to set non-NULL log_buf and log_level == 0. This is fine and means to attempt to load BTF without logging requested, but if it failes, retry the load with custom log_buf and log_level 1. Similar logic will be implemented for program loading. In practice this means that users can provide custom log buffer just in case error happens, but not really request slower verbose logging all the time. This is also consistent with libbpf behavior when custom log_buf is not set: libbpf first tries to load everything with log_level=0, and only if error happens allocates internal log buffer and retries with log_level=1. Also, while at it, make BTF validation log more obvious and follow the log pattern libbpf is using for dumping BPF verifier log during BPF_PROG_LOAD. BTF loading resulting in an error will look like this: libbpf: BTF loading error: -22 libbpf: -- BEGIN BTF LOAD LOG --- magic: 0xeb9f version: 1 flags: 0x0 hdr_len: 24 type_off: 0 type_len: 1040 str_off: 1040 str_len: 2063598257 btf_total_size: 1753 Total section length too long -- END BTF LOAD LOG -- libbpf: Error loading .BTF into kernel: -22. BTF is optional, ignoring. This makes it much easier to find relevant parts in libbpf log output.

2021-12-02libbpf: Replace btf__type_by_id() with btf_type_by_id().Alexei Starovoitov
To prepare relo_core.c to be compiled in the kernel and the user space replace btf__type_by_id with btf_type_by_id. In libbpf btf__type_by_id and btf_type_by_id have different behavior. bpf_core_apply_relo_insn() needs behavior of uapi btf__type_by_id vs internal btf_type_by_id, but type_id range check is already done in bpf_core_apply_relo(), so it's safe to replace it everywhere. The kernel btf_type_by_id() does the check anyway. It doesn't hurt.

2021-11-19libbpf: Accommodate DWARF/compiler bug with duplicated structsAndrii Nakryiko
According to [0], compilers sometimes might produce duplicate DWARF definitions for exactly the same struct/union within the same compilation unit (CU). We've had similar issues with identical arrays and handled them with a similar workaround in 6b6e6b1d09aa ("libbpf: Accomodate DWARF/compiler bug with duplicated identical arrays"). Do the same for struct/union by ensuring that two structs/unions are exactly the same, down to the integer values of field referenced type IDs. Solving this more generically (allowing referenced types to be equivalent, but using different type IDs, all within a single CU) requires a huge complexity increase to handle many-to-many mappings between canonidal and candidate type graphs. Before we invest in that, let's see if this approach handles all the instances of this issue in practice. Thankfully it's pretty rare, it seems.

2021-11-16libbpf: Fix a couple of missed btf_type_tag handling in btf.cYonghong Song
Commit 2dc1e488e5cd ("libbpf: Support BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG") added the BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG support. But to test vmlinux build with ... #define __user __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) ... I needed to sync libbpf repo and manually copy libbpf sources to pahole. To simplify process, I used BTF_KIND_RESTRICT to simulate the BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG with vmlinux build as "restrict" modifier is barely used in kernel. But this approach missed one case in dedup with structures where BTF_KIND_RESTRICT is handled and BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG is not handled in btf_dedup_is_equiv(), and this will result in a pahole dedup failure. This patch fixed this issue and a selftest is added in the subsequent patch to test this scenario. The other missed handling is in btf__resolve_size(). Currently the compiler always emit like PTR->TYPE_TAG->... so in practice we don't hit the missing BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG handling issue with compiler generated code. But lets add case BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG in the switch statement to be future proof.

2021-11-11libbpf: Turn btf_dedup_opts into OPTS-based structAndrii Nakryiko
btf__dedup() and struct btf_dedup_opts were added before we figured out OPTS mechanism. As such, btf_dedup_opts is non-extensible without breaking an ABI and potentially crashing user application. Unfortunately, btf__dedup() and btf_dedup_opts are short and succinct names that would be great to preserve and use going forward. So we use ___libbpf_override() macro approach, used previously for bpf_prog_load() API, to define a new btf__dedup() variant that accepts only struct btf * and struct btf_dedup_opts * arguments, and rename the old btf__dedup() implementation into btf__dedup_deprecated(). This keeps both source and binary compatibility with old and new applications. The biggest problem was struct btf_dedup_opts, which wasn't OPTS-based, and as such doesn't have `size_t sz;` as a first field. But btf__dedup() is a pretty rarely used API and I believe that the only currently known users (besides selftests) are libbpf's own bpf_linker and pahole. Neither use case actually uses options and just passes NULL. So instead of doing extra hacks, just rewrite struct btf_dedup_opts into OPTS-based one, move btf_ext argument into those opts (only bpf_linker needs to dedup btf_ext, so it's not a typical thing to specify), and drop never used `dont_resolve_fwds` option (it was never used anywhere, AFAIK, it makes BTF dedup much less useful and efficient). Just in case, for old implementation, btf__dedup_deprecated(), detect non-NULL options and error out with helpful message, to help users migrate, if there are any user playing with btf__dedup(). The last remaining piece is dedup_table_size, which is another anachronism from very early days of BTF dedup. Since then it has been reduced to the only valid value, 1, to request forced hash collisions. This is only used during testing. So instead introduce a bool flag to force collisions explicitly. This patch also adapts selftests to new btf__dedup() and btf_dedup_opts use to avoid selftests breakage.

2021-10-21libbpf: Deprecate btf__finalize_data() and move it into libbpf.cAndrii Nakryiko
There isn't a good use case where anyone but libbpf itself needs to call btf__finalize_data(). It was implemented for internal use and it's not clear why it was made into public API in the first place. To function, it requires active ELF data, which is stored inside bpf_object for the duration of opening phase only. But the only BTF that needs bpf_object's ELF is that bpf_object's BTF itself, which libbpf fixes up automatically during bpf_object__open() operation anyways. There is no need for any additional fix up and no reasonable scenario where it's useful and appropriate. Thus, btf__finalize_data() is just an API atavism and is better removed. So this patch marks it as deprecated immediately (v0.6+) and moves the code from btf.c into libbpf.c where it's used in the context of bpf_object opening phase. Such code co-location allows to make code structure more straightforward and remove bpf_object__section_size() and bpf_object__variable_offset() internal helpers from libbpf_internal.h, making them static. Their naming is also adjusted to not create a wrong illusion that they are some sort of method of bpf_object. They are internal helpers and are called appropriately.

2021-10-18bpf: Rename BTF_KIND_TAG to BTF_KIND_DECL_TAGYonghong Song
Patch set [1] introduced BTF_KIND_TAG to allow tagging declarations for struct/union, struct/union field, var, func and func arguments and these tags will be encoded into dwarf. They are also encoded to btf by llvm for the bpf target. After BTF_KIND_TAG is introduced, we intended to use it for kernel __user attributes. But kernel __user is actually a type attribute. Upstream and internal discussion showed it is not a good idea to mix declaration attribute and type attribute. So we proposed to introduce btf_type_tag as a type attribute and existing btf_tag renamed to btf_decl_tag ([2]). This patch renamed BTF_KIND_TAG to BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG and some other declarations with *_tag to *_decl_tag to make it clear the tag is for declaration. In the future, BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG might be introduced per [3].

2021-10-06libbpf: Add API that copies all BTF types from one BTF object to anotherAndrii Nakryiko
Add a bulk copying api, btf__add_btf(), that speeds up and simplifies appending entire contents of one BTF object to another one, taking care of copying BTF type data, adjusting resulting BTF type IDs according to their new locations in the destination BTF object, as well as copying and deduplicating all the referenced strings and updating all the string offsets in new BTF types as appropriate. This API is intended to be used from tools that are generating and otherwise manipulating BTFs generically, such as pahole. In pahole's case, this API is useful for speeding up parallelized BTF encoding, as it allows pahole to offload all the intricacies of BTF type copying to libbpf and handle the parallelization aspects of the process.

2021-10-05libbpf: Support kernel module function callsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
This patch adds libbpf support for kernel module function call support. The fd_array parameter is used during BPF program load to pass module BTFs referenced by the program. insn->off is set to index into this array, but starts from 1, because insn->off as 0 is reserved for btf_vmlinux. We try to use existing insn->off for a module, since the kernel limits the maximum distinct module BTFs for kfuncs to 256, and also because index must never exceed the maximum allowed value that can fit in insn->off (INT16_MAX). In the future, if kernel interprets signed offset as unsigned for kfunc calls, this limit can be increased to UINT16_MAX. Also introduce a btf__find_by_name_kind_own helper to start searching from module BTF's start id when we know that the BTF ID is not present in vmlinux BTF (in find_ksym_btf_id).

2021-08-07libbpf: Do not close un-owned FD 0 on errorsDaniel Xu
Before this patch, btf_new() was liable to close an arbitrary FD 0 if BTF parsing failed. This was because: * btf->fd was initialized to 0 through the calloc() * btf__free() (in the `done` label) closed any FDs >= 0 * btf->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.

Change the new function so that, instead of requiring a pointer to the pointer to update and returning with an error code, it takes a single argument (the id of the BTF object) and returns the corresponding pointer. This is more in line with the existing constructors. The other tools calling the (soon-to-be) deprecated btf__get_from_id() function will be updated in a future commit.

2021-05-25libbpf: Streamline error reporting for high-level APIsAndrii Nakryiko
Implement changes to error reporting for high-level libbpf APIs to make them less surprising and less error-prone to users: - in all the cases when error happens, errno is set to an appropriate error value; - in libbpf 1.0 mode, all pointer-returning APIs return NULL on error and error code is communicated through errno; this applies both to APIs that already returned NULL before (so now they communicate more detailed error codes), as well as for many APIs that used ERR_PTR() macro and encoded error numbers as fake pointers. - in legacy (default) mode, those APIs that were returning ERR_PTR(err), continue doing so, but still set errno. With these changes, errno can be always used to extract actual error, regardless of legacy or libbpf 1.0 modes. This is utilized internally in libbpf in places where libbpf uses it's own high-level APIs. libbpf_get_error() is adapted to handle both cases completely transparently to end-users (and is used by libbpf consistently as well).

2020-11-05libbpf: Support BTF dedup of split BTFsAndrii Nakryiko
Add support for deduplication split BTFs. When deduplicating split BTF, base BTF is considered to be immutable and can't be modified or adjusted. 99% of BTF deduplication logic is left intact (module some type numbering adjustments). There are only two differences. First, each type in base BTF gets hashed (expect VAR and DATASEC, of course, those are always considered to be self-canonical instances) and added into a table of canonical table candidates. Hashing is a shallow, fast operation, so mostly eliminates the overhead of having entire base BTF to be a part of BTF dedup. Second difference is very critical and subtle. While deduplicating split BTF types, it is possible to discover that one of immutable base BTF BTF_KIND_FWD types can and should be resolved to a full STRUCT/UNION type from the split BTF part. This is, obviously, can't happen because we can't modify the base BTF types anymore. So because of that, any type in split BTF that directly or indirectly references that newly-to-be-resolved FWD type can't be considered to be equivalent to the corresponding canonical types in base BTF, because that would result in a loss of type resolution information. So in such case, split BTF types will be deduplicated separately and will cause some duplication of type information, which is unavoidable. With those two changes, the rest of the algorithm manages to deduplicate split BTF correctly, pointing all the duplicates to their canonical counter-parts in base BTF, but also is deduplicating whatever unique types are present in split BTF on their own. Also, theoretically, split BTF after deduplication could end up with either empty type section or empty string section. This is handled by libbpf correctly in one of previous patches in the series.

2020-11-05libbpf: Implement basic split BTF supportAndrii Nakryiko
Support split BTF operation, in which one BTF (base BTF) provides basic set of types and strings, while another one (split BTF) builds on top of base's types and strings and adds its own new types and strings. From API standpoint, the fact that the split BTF is built on top of the base BTF is transparent. Type numeration is transparent. If the base BTF had last type ID #N, then all types in the split BTF start at type ID N+1. Any type in split BTF can reference base BTF types, but not vice versa. Programmatically construction of a split BTF on top of a base BTF is supported: one can create an empty split BTF with btf__new_empty_split() and pass base BTF as an input, or pass raw binary data to btf__new_split(), or use btf__parse_xxx_split() variants to get initial set of split types/strings from the ELF file with .BTF section. String offsets are similarly transparent and are a logical continuation of base BTF's strings. When building BTF programmatically and adding a new string (explicitly with btf__add_str() or implicitly through appending new types/members), string-to-be-added would first be looked up from the base BTF's string section and re-used if it's there. If not, it will be looked up and/or added to the split BTF string section. Similarly to type IDs, types in split BTF can refer to strings from base BTF absolutely transparently (but not vice versa, of course, because base BTF doesn't "know" about existence of split BTF). Internal type index is slightly adjusted to be zero-indexed, ignoring a fake [0] VOID type. This allows to handle split/base BTF type lookups transparently by using btf->start_id type ID offset, which is always 1 for base/non-split BTF and equals btf__get_nr_types(base_btf) + 1 for the split BTF. BTF deduplication is not yet supported for split BTF and support for it will be added in separate patch.

2020-09-29libbpf: Support BTF loading and raw data output in both endiannessAndrii Nakryiko
Teach BTF to recognized wrong endianness and transparently convert it internally to host endianness. Original endianness of BTF will be preserved and used during btf__get_raw_data() to convert resulting raw data to the same endianness and a source raw_data. This means that little-endian host can parse big-endian BTF with no issues, all the type data will be presented to the client application in native endianness, but when it's time for emitting BTF to persist it in a file (e.g., after BTF deduplication), original non-native endianness will be preserved and stored. It's possible to query original endianness of BTF data with new btf__endianness() API. It's also possible to override desired output endianness with btf__set_endianness(), so that if application needs to load, say, big-endian BTF and store it as little-endian BTF, it's possible to manually override this. If btf__set_endianness() was used to change endianness, btf__endianness() will reflect overridden endianness. Given there are no known use cases for supporting cross-endianness for .BTF.ext, loading .BTF.ext in non-native endianness is not supported.
