When deduplicating definitions for a module, typedef defined in the base
are not removed. This is because the hash used for base types differs
from the one used in the deduplication logic in btf_dedup_struct_type.
This was introduced by the referenced commit when moving the typedef
deduplication logic handling from btf_dedup_ref_type to
btf_dedup_struct_type, as this also changed the hash logic
(btf_hash_common to btf_hash_typedef).
This also impacts other types referencing those typedef (e.g. const). In
my test, the BTF section size of the openvswitch module went from 31KB
to 45KB.
Fixes: 3781413465 ("libbpf: Fix BTF dedup to support recursive typedef definitions").

In attach_kprobe(), the parsing logic uses sscanf() to extract the
target function name and offset from the section definition. Currently,
if a user specifies a negative offset (e.g., SEC("kprobe/func+-100")),
the input is not explicitly caught and reported as an error.
This commit updates the logic to explicitly notify the user when a
negative integer is provided. To facilitate this check, the offset
variable is changed from unsigned long to long so that sscanf()
can accurately capture a negative input for evaluation.
If a negative offset is detected, the loader will now print an
informative warning stating that the offset must be non-negative,
and return -EINVAL.
Additionally, free(func) is called in this new error path to prevent
a memory leak, as the function name string is dynamically allocated
by sscanf().

Sashiko found possible double close of btf object fd [1],
which happens when strdup in load_module_btfs fails at which
point the obj->btf_module_cnt is already incremented.
The error path close btf fd and so does later cleanup code in
bpf_object_post_load_cleanup function.
Also libbpf_ensure_mem failure leaves btf object not assigned
and it's leaked.
Replacing the err_out label with break to make the error path
less confusing as suggested by Alan.
Incrementing obj->btf_module_cnt only if there's no failure
and releasing btf object in error path.

CO-RE accessor strings are colon-separated indices that describe a path
from a root BTF type to a target field, e.g. "0:1:2" walks through
nested struct members. bpf_core_parse_spec() parses each component with
sscanf("%d"), so negative values like -1 are silently accepted. The
subsequent bounds checks (access_idx >= btf_vlen(t)) only guard the
upper bound and always pass for negative values because C integer
promotion converts the __u16 btf_vlen result to int, making the
comparison (int)(-1) >= (int)(N) false for any positive N.
When -1 reaches btf_member_bit_offset() it gets cast to u32 0xffffffff,
producing an out-of-bounds read far past the members array. A crafted
BPF program with a negative CO-RE accessor on any struct that exists in
vmlinux BTF (e.g. task_struct) crashes the kernel deterministically
during BPF_PROG_LOAD on any system with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
(default on major distributions). The bug is reachable with CAP_BPF:

Patch series "mm/vma: convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t in vma code", v4.
This series converts a lot of the existing use of the legacy vm_flags_t
data type to the new vma_flags_t type which replaces it.
In order to do so it adds a number of additional helpers:
* vma_flags_empty() - Determines whether a vma_flags_t value has no bits
set.
* vma_flags_and() - Performs a bitwise AND between two vma_flags_t values.
* vma_flags_diff_pair() - Determines which flags are not shared between a
pair of VMA flags (typically non-constant values)
* append_vma_flags() - Similar to mk_vma_flags(), but allows a vma_flags_t
value to be specified (typically a constant value) which will be copied
and appended to to create a new vma_flags_t value, with additional flags
specified to append to it.
* vma_flags_same() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is exactly equal to
a set of VMA flags.
* vma_flags_same_mask() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is eactly equal
to another vma_flags_t value (typically constant).
* vma_flags_same_pair() - Determines if a pair of vma_flags_t values are
exactly equal to one another (typically both non-constant).
* vma_flags_to_legacy() - Converts a vma_flags_t value to a vm_flags_t
value, used to enable more iterative introduction of the use of
vma_flags_t.
* legacy_to_vma_flags() - Converts a vm_flags_t value to a vma_flags-t
value, for the same purpose.
* vma_flags_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a vma_flags_t value contain
the single flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that
flag mask is empty, is defined to return false. Useful for
config-predicated VMA flag mask defines.
* vma_test() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain a specific singular VMA
flag.
* vma_test_any() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of a set of VMA
flags.
* vma_test_any_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of the
flags specified in another, typically constant, vma_flags_t value.
* vma_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain the single
flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that flag mask is
empty, is defined to return false. Useful for config-predicated VMA flag
mask defines.
* vma_clear_flags() - Clears a specific set of VMA flags from a vma_flags_t
value.
* vma_clear_flags_mask() - Clears those flag set in a vma_flags_t value
(typically constant) from a (typically not constant) vma_flags_t value.
The series mostly focuses on the the VMA specific code, especially that
contained in mm/vma.c and mm/vma.h.
It updates both brk() and mmap() logic to utils vma_flags_t values as much
as is practiaclly possible at this point, changing surrounding logic to be
able to do so.
It also updates the vma_modify_xxx() functions where they interact with VMA
flags directly to use vm_flags_t values where possible.
There is extensive testing added in the VMA userland tests to assert that
all of these new VMA flag functions work correctly.
This patch (of 25):
Firstly, add the ability to determine if VMA flags are empty, that is no
flags are set in a vma_flags_t value.
Next, add the ability to obtain the equivalent of the bitwise and of two
vma_flags_t values, via vma_flags_and_mask().
Next, add the ability to obtain the difference between two sets of VMA
flags, that is the equivalent to the exclusive bitwise OR of the two sets
of flags, via vma_flags_diff_pair().
vma_flags_xxx_mask() typically operates on a pointer to a vma_flags_t
value, which is assumed to be an lvalue of some kind (such as a field in a
struct or a stack variable) and an rvalue of some kind (typically a
constant set of VMA flags obtained e.g. via mk_vma_flags() or
equivalent).
However vma_flags_diff_pair() is intended to operate on two lvalues, so
use the _pair() suffix to make this clear.
Finally, update VMA userland tests to add these helpers.
We also port bitmap_xor() and __bitmap_xor() to the tools/ headers and
source to allow the tests to work with vma_flags_diff_pair().

bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts() documents single-kprobe attach
through func_name, with an optional offset. For the PMU-based path,
func_name = NULL with an absolute address in offset already works as
well, but that is not described in the API.
This commit clarifies this existing non-legacy behavior. For PMU-based
attach, callers can use func_name = NULL with an absolute address in
offset as the raw-address form. For legacy tracefs/debugfs kprobes,
reject this form explicitly.

Align bpf_program__clone() with bpf_object_load_prog() by gating
BTF func/line info on FEAT_BTF_FUNC kernel support, and resolve
caller-provided prog_btf_fd before checking obj->btf so that callers
with their own BTF can use clone() even when the object has no BTF
loaded.
While at it, treat func_info and line_info fields as atomic groups
to prevent mismatches between pointer and count from different sources.
Move bpf_program__clone() to libbpf 1.8.

The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the
array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is
prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a
alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and
then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and
libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as
compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the
build.

Add a FEAT_BTF_LAYOUT feature check which checks if the
kernel supports BTF layout information. Also sanitize
BTF if it contains layout data but the kernel does not
support it. The sanitization requires rewriting raw
BTF data to update the header and eliminate the layout
section (since it lies between the types and strings),
so refactor sanitization to do the raw BTF retrieval
and creation of updated BTF, returning that new BTF
on success.

Support reading in layout fixing endian issues on reading;
also support writing layout section to raw BTF object.
There is not yet an API to populate the layout with meaningful
information.
As part of this, we need to consider multiple valid BTF header
sizes; the original or the layout-extended headers.
So to support this, the "struct btf" representation is modified
to contain a "struct btf_header" and we copy the valid
portion from the raw data to it; this means we can always safely
check fields like btf->hdr.layout_len .
Note if parsed-in BTF has extra header information beyond
sizeof(struct btf_header) - if so we make that BTF ineligible
for modification by setting btf->has_hdr_extra .
Ensure that we handle endianness issues for BTF layout section,
though currently only field that needs this (flags) is unused.

The current logic was storing symbols source code on a list,
not linked to the actual KdocItem. While this works fine when
kernel-doc markups are OK, on places where there is a "/**"
without a valid kernel-doc markup, it ends that the 1:1 match
between source code and KdocItem doesn't happen, causing
problems to generate the YAML output.
Fix it by storing the source code directly into the KdocItem
structure.

The previous approach were to unwind nested structs/unions.
Now that we have a logic that can handle it well, use it to
ensure that struct_group macros will properly reflect the
actual struct.
Note that the replacemend logic still simplifies the code
a little bit, as the basic build block for struct group is:
union { \
struct { MEMBERS } ATTRS; \
struct __struct_group_tag(TAG) { MEMBERS } ATTRS NAME; \
} ATTRS
There:
- ATTRS is meant to add extra macro attributes like __packed
which we already discard, as they aren't relevant to
document struct members;
- TAG is used only when built with __cplusplus.
So, instead, convert them into just:
struct { MEMBERS };
Please notice that here, we're using the greedy version of the
backrefs, as MEMBERS is actually MEMBERS... on all such macros.

While the main goal for kernel-doc is to be used inside the Linux
Kernel, other open source projects could benefit for it. That's
currently the case of QEMU, which has a fork, mainly due to two
reasons:
- they need an extra C function transform rule;
- they handle the html output a little bit different.
Add an extra optional argument to make easier for the code to be
shared, as, with that, QEMU can just create a new derivated class
that will contain its specific rulesets, and just copy the
remaining kernel-doc files as-is.

Detect exact function names (no wildcards) in
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts() and bypass kallsyms parsing,
passing the symbol directly to the kernel via syms[] array. This
benefits all callers, not just kprobe.session.
When the pattern contains no '*' or '?' characters, set syms to point
directly at the pattern string and cnt to 1, skipping the expensive
/proc/kallsyms or available_filter_functions parsing (~150ms per
function).
Error code normalization: the fast path returns ESRCH from kernel's
ftrace_lookup_symbols(), while the slow path returns ENOENT from
userspace kallsyms parsing. Convert ESRCH to ENOENT in the
bpf_link_create error path to maintain API consistency - both paths
now return identical error codes for "symbol not found".

btf__add_btf() currently rejects split BTF sources with -ENOTSUP.
This prevents merging types from multiple kernel module BTFs that
are all split against the same vmlinux base.
Extend btf__add_btf() to handle split BTF sources by:
- Replacing the blanket -ENOTSUP with a validation that src and dst
share the same base BTF pointer when both are split, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP on mismatch.
- Computing src_start_id from the source's base to distinguish base
type ID references (which must remain unchanged) from split type
IDs (which must be remapped to new positions in the destination).
- Using src_btf->nr_types instead of btf__type_cnt()-1 for the type
count, which is correct for both split and non-split sources.
- Skipping base string offsets (< start_str_off) during the string
rewrite loop, mirroring the type ID skip pattern. Since src and
dst share the same base BTF, base string offsets are already valid
and need no remapping.
For non-split sources the behavior is identical: src_start_id is 1,
the type_id < 1 guard is never true (VOID is already skipped), and
the remapping formula reduces to the original. start_str_off is 0
so no string offsets are skipped.

Over the time, most of the changes at kernel-doc are related
to maintaining a list of transforms to convert macros into pure
C code.
Place such transforms on a separate module, to cleanup the
parser module.
There is an advantage on that: QEMU also uses our own kernel-doc,
but the xforms list there is different. By placing it on a
separate module, we can minimize the differences and make it
easier to keep QEMU in sync with Kernel upstream.

An issue was reported that building BPF program which includes both
vmlinux.h and bpf_helpers.h from libbpf fails due to conflicting
declarations of bpf_stream_vprintk().
Remove the extern declaration from bpf_helpers.h to address this.
In order to use bpf_stream_printk() macro, BPF programs are expected
to either include vmlinux.h of the kernel they are targeting, or add
their own extern declaration.

Netlink requires that the recv buffer used during dumps is at least
min(PAGE_SIZE, 8k) (see the man page). Otherwise the messages will
get truncated. Make sure bpftool follows this requirement, avoid
missing information on systems with large pages.

Commit 728ff16791 ("libbpf: Add gating for arena globals relocation feature")
adds a feature gate check that loads a map and BPF program to
test the running kernel supports large direct offsets for LDIMM64
instructions. This check is currently used to calculate arena symbol
offsets during bpf_object__collect_relos, itself called by
bpf_object_open.
However, the program calling bpf_object_open may not have the permissions to
load maps and programs. This is the case with the BPF selftests, where
bpftool is invoked at compilation time during skeleton generation. This
causes errors as the feature gate unexpectedly fails with -EPERM.
Avoid this by moving all the use of the FEAT_LDIMM64_FULL_RANGE_OFF feature gate
to BPF object preparation time instead.

Commit 728ff16791 uses a PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT BPF test program to
check whether the running kernel supports large LDIMM64 offsets. The
feature gate incorrectly assumes that the program will fail at
verification time with one of two messages, depending on whether the
feature is supported by the running kernel. However,
PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs may fail to load before verification even
starts, e.g., if the shell does not have the appropriate capabilities.
Use a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER program for the feature gate instead.
Also fix two minor issues. First, ensure the log buffer for the test is
initialized: Failing program load before verification led to libbpf dumping
uninitialized data to stdout. Also, ensure that close() is only called
for program_fd in the probe if the program load actually succeeded. The
call was currently failing silently with -EBADF most of the time.
