The following kfuncs currently accept void *meta__ign argument:
* bpf_obj_new_impl
* bpf_obj_drop_impl
* bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl
* bpf_percpu_obj_drop_impl
* bpf_refcount_acquire_impl
* bpf_list_push_back_impl
* bpf_list_push_front_impl
* bpf_rbtree_add_impl
The __ign suffix is an indicator for the verifier to skip the argument
in check_kfunc_args(). Then, in fixup_kfunc_call() the verifier may
set the value of this argument to struct btf_struct_meta *
kptr_struct_meta from insn_aux_data.
BPF programs must pass a dummy NULL value when calling these kfuncs.
Additionally, the list and rbtree _impl kfuncs also accept an implicit
u64 argument, which doesn't require __ign suffix because it's a
scalar, and BPF programs explicitly pass 0.
Add new kfuncs with KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS [1], that correspond to each
_impl kfunc accepting meta__ign. The existing _impl kfuncs remain
unchanged for backwards compatibility.
To support this, add "btf_struct_meta" to the list of recognized
implicit argument types in resolve_btfids.
Implement is_kfunc_arg_implicit() in the verifier, that determines
implicit args by inspecting both a non-_impl BTF prototype of the
kfunc.
Update the special_kfunc_list in the verifier and relevant checks to
support both the old _impl and the new KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS variants of
btf_struct_meta users.

The "|| echo -lzstd" default makes zstd an unconditional link
dependency of resolve_btfids. On systems where libzstd-dev is not
installed and pkg-config fails, the linker fails:
ld: cannot find -lzstd: No such file or directory
libzstd is a transitive dependency of libelf, so the -lzstd flag is
strictly necessary only for static builds [1].
Remove ZSTD_LIBS variable, and instead set LIBELF_LIBS depending on
whether the build is static or not. Use $(HOSTPKG_CONFIG) as primary
source of the flags list.
Also add a default value for HOSTPKG_CONFIG in case it's not built via
the toplevel Makefile. Pass it from selftests/bpf too.

Implement BTF modifications in resolve_btfids to support BPF kernel
functions with implicit arguments.
For a kfunc marked with KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS flag, a new function
prototype is added to BTF that does not have implicit arguments. The
kfunc's prototype is then updated to a new one in BTF. This prototype
is the intended interface for the BPF programs.
A <func_name>_impl function is added to BTF to make the original kfunc
prototype searchable for the BPF verifier. If a <func_name>_impl
function already exists in BTF, its interpreted as a legacy case, and
this step is skipped.
Whether an argument is implicit is determined by its type:
currently only `struct bpf_prog_aux *` is supported.
As a result, the BTF associated with kfunc is changed from
__bpf_kfunc bpf_foo(int arg1, struct bpf_prog_aux *aux);
into
bpf_foo_impl(int arg1, struct bpf_prog_aux *aux);
__bpf_kfunc bpf_foo(int arg1);

Since recently [1][2] resolve_btfids executes final adjustments to the
kernel/module BTF before it's embedded into the target binary.
To keep the implementation simple, a clear and stable "pipeline" of
how BTF data flows through resolve_btfids would be helpful. Some BTF
modifications may change the ids of the types, so it is important to
maintain correct order of operations with respect to .BTF_ids
resolution too.
This patch refactors the BTF handling to establish the following
sequence:
- load target ELF sections
- load .BTF_ids symbols
- this will be a dependency of btf2btf transformations in
subsequent patches
- load BTF and its base as is
- (*) btf2btf transformations will happen here
- finalize_btf(), introduced in this patch
- does distill base and sort BTF
- resolve and patch .BTF_ids
This approach helps to avoid fixups in .BTF_ids data in case the ids
change at any point of BTF processing, because symbol resolution
happens on the finalized, ready to dump, BTF data.
This also gives flexibility in BTF transformations, because they will
happen on BTF that is not distilled and/or sorted yet, allowing to
freely add, remove and modify BTF types.

Recent changes in BTF generation [1] rely on ${OBJCOPY} command to
update .BTF_ids section data in target ELF files.
This exposed a bug in llvm-objcopy --update-section code path, that
may lead to corruption of a target ELF file. Specifically, because of
the bug st_shndx of some symbols may be (incorrectly) set to 0xffff
(SHN_XINDEX) [2][3].
While there is a pending fix for LLVM, it'll take some time before it
lands (likely in 22.x). And the kernel build must keep working with
older LLVM toolchains in the foreseeable future.
Using GNU objcopy for .BTF_ids update would work, but it would require
changes to LLVM-based build process, likely breaking existing build
environments as discussed in [2].
To work around llvm-objcopy bug, implement --patch_btfids code path in
resolve_btfids as a drop-in replacement for:
${OBJCOPY} --update-section .BTF_ids=${btf_ids} ${elf}
Which works specifically for .BTF_ids section:
${RESOLVE_BTFIDS} --patch_btfids ${btf_ids} ${elf}
This feature in resolve_btfids can be removed at some point in the
future, when llvm-objcopy with a relevant bugfix becomes common.

Currently resolve_btfids updates .BTF_ids section of an ELF file
in-place, based on the contents of provided BTF, usually within the
same input file, and optionally a BTF base.
Change resolve_btfids behavior to enable BTF transformations as part
of its main operation. To achieve this, in-place ELF write in
resolve_btfids is replaced with generation of the following binaries:
* ${1}.BTF with .BTF section data
* ${1}.BTF_ids with .BTF_ids section data if it existed in ${1}
* ${1}.BTF.base with .BTF.base section data for out-of-tree modules
The execution of resolve_btfids and consumption of its output is
orchestrated by scripts/gen-btf.sh introduced in this patch.
The motivation for emitting binary data is that it allows simplifying
resolve_btfids implementation by delegating ELF update to the $OBJCOPY
tool [1], which is already widely used across the codebase.
There are two distinct paths for BTF generation and resolve_btfids
application in the kernel build: for vmlinux and for kernel modules.
For the vmlinux binary a .BTF section is added in a roundabout way to
ensure correct linking. The patch doesn't change this approach, only
the implementation is a little different.
Before this patch it worked as follows:
* pahole consumed .tmp_vmlinux1 [2] and added .BTF section with
llvm-objcopy [3] to it
* then everything except the .BTF section was stripped from .tmp_vmlinux1
into a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object [2], later linked into vmlinux
* resolve_btfids was executed later on vmlinux.unstripped [4],
updating it in-place
After this patch gen-btf.sh implements the following:
* pahole consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and produces a *detached* file with
raw BTF data
* resolve_btfids consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and detached BTF to produce
(potentially modified) .BTF, and .BTF_ids sections data
* a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object is then produced with objcopy copying
BTF output of resolve_btfids
* .BTF_ids data gets embedded into vmlinux.unstripped in
link-vmlinux.sh by objcopy --update-section
For kernel modules, creating a special .bpf.o file is not necessary,
and so embedding of sections data produced by resolve_btfids is
straightforward with objcopy.
With this patch an ELF file becomes effectively read-only within
resolve_btfids, which allows deleting elf_update() call and satellite
code (like compressed_section_fix [5]).
Endianness handling of .BTF_ids data is also changed. Previously the
"flags" part of the section was bswapped in sets_patch() [6], and then
Elf_Type was modified before elf_update() to signal to libelf that
bswap may be necessary. With this patch we explicitly bswap entire
data buffer on load and on dump.

err is a 32-bit integer, but elf_update returns an off_t, which is 64-bit
at least on 64-bit platforms. If symbols_patch is called on a binary between

which the code assumes means an error occurred. This can wrongly trigger

The .BTF_ids section is pre-filled with zeroed BTF ID entries during the
build and afterwards patched by resolve_btfids with correct values.
Since resolve_btfids always writes in host-native endianness, it relies
on libelf to do the translation when the target ELF is cross-compiled to
a different endianness (this was introduced in commit 61e8aeda93
("bpf: Fix libelf endian handling in resolv_btfids")).
Unfortunately, the translation will corrupt the flags fields of SET8
entries because these were written during vmlinux compilation and are in
the correct endianness already. This will lead to numerous selftests
failures such as:
$ sudo ./test_verifier 502 502
#502/p sleepable fentry accept FAIL
Failed to load prog 'Invalid argument'!
bpf_fentry_test1 is not sleepable

stack depth 0
processed 0 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0
Summary: 0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED
Since it's not possible to instruct libelf to translate just certain
values, let's manually bswap the flags (both global and entry flags) in

Instead of using magic offsets to access BTF ID set data, leverage types
from btf_ids.h (btf_id_set and btf_id_set8) which define the actual
layout of the data. Thanks to this change, set sorting should also
continue working if the layout changes.
This requires to sync the definition of 'struct btf_id_set8' from
include/linux/btf_ids.h to tools/include/linux/btf_ids.h. We don't sync
the rest of the file at the moment, b/c that would require to also sync
multiple dependent headers and we don't need any other defs from
btf_ids.h.

The reason is that tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile passes header
include paths by extending HOSTCFLAGS which is overridden by setting
HOSTCFLAGS in the make command (because of Makefile rules [1]).
This patch fixes the above problem by passing the include paths via
`HOSTCFLAGS_resolve_btfids` which is used by tools/build/Build.include
and can be combined with overridding HOSTCFLAGS.

HOSTCC is always wanted when building. Setting CC to HOSTCC happens
after tools/scripts/Makefile.include is included, meaning flags are
set assuming say CC is gcc, but then it can be later set to HOSTCC
which may be clang. tools/scripts/Makefile.include is needed for host
set up and common macros in objtool's Makefile. Rather than override
CC to HOSTCC, just pass CC as HOSTCC to Makefile.build, the libsubcmd
builds and the linkage step. This means the Makefiles don't see things
like CC changing and tool flag determination, and similar, work
properly.
Also, clear the passed subdir as otherwise an outer build may break by
inadvertently passing an inappropriate value.

The CROSS_COMPILE variable may be present during resolve_btfids build if
the kernel is being cross-built. Since resolve_btfids is always executed
on the host, we set CC to HOSTCC in order to use the host toolchain when
cross-building with GCC. But instead of a toolchain prefix, cross-build
with clang uses a "-target" parameter, which Makefile.include deduces
from the CROSS_COMPILE variable. In order to avoid cross-building
libbpf, clear CROSS_COMPILE before building resolve_btfids.

resolve_btfids prints a warning when it finds an unresolved symbol,
(id == 0) in id_patch. This can be the case for BTF sets that are empty
(due to disabled config options), hence printing warnings for certain
builds, most recently seen in [0].
The reason behind this is because id->cnt aliases id->id in btf_id
struct, leading to empty set showing up as ID 0 when we get to id_patch,
which triggers the warning. Since sets are an exception here, accomodate
by reusing hole in btf_id for bool is_set member, setting it to true for
BTF set when setting id->cnt, and use that to skip extraneous warning.

API headers from libbpf should not be accessed directly from the
library's source directory. Instead, they should be exported with "make
install_headers". Let's make sure that resolve_btfids installs the
headers properly when building.
When descending from a parent Makefile, the specific output directories
for building the library and exporting the headers are configurable with
LIBBPF_OUT and LIBBPF_DESTDIR, respectively. This is in addition to
OUTPUT, on top of which those variables are constructed by default.
Also adjust the Makefile for the BPF selftests in order to point to the
(target) libbpf shared with other tools, instead of building a version
specific to resolve_btfids. Remove libbpf's order-only dependencies on
the include directories (they are created by libbpf and don't need to
exist beforehand).

Turn previously auto-generated libbpf_version.h header into a normal
header file. This prevents various tricky Makefile integration issues,
simplifies the overall build process, but also allows to further extend
it with some more versioning-related APIs in the future.
To prevent accidental out-of-sync versions as defined by libbpf.map and
libbpf_version.h, Makefile checks their consistency at build time.
Simultaneously with this change bump libbpf.map to v0.6.
Also undo adding libbpf's output directory into include path for
kernel/bpf/preload, bpftool, and resolve_btfids, which is not necessary
because libbpf_version.h is just a normal header like any other.

Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.
As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
(LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.
Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to
include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths.
Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API
headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build
changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified
explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No
problems were detected.
Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
for now).
Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

The vmlinux ".BTF_ids" ELF section is declared in btf_ids.h to hold a list
of zero-filled BTF IDs, which is then patched at link-time with correct
values by resolv_btfids. The section is flagged as "allocable" to preclude
compression, but notably the section contents (BTF IDs) are untyped.
When patching the BTF IDs, resolve_btfids writes in host-native endianness
and relies on libelf for any required translation on reading and updating
vmlinux. However, since the type of the .BTF_ids section content defaults
to ELF_T_BYTE (i.e. unsigned char), no translation occurs. This results in
incorrect patched values when cross-compiling to non-native endianness,
and can manifest as kernel Oops and test failures which are difficult to
troubleshoot [1].
Explicitly set the type of patched data to ELF_T_WORD, the architecture-
neutral ELF type corresponding to the u32 BTF IDs. This enables libelf to
transparently perform any needed endian conversions.
