Yonghong Song e9da1df2c0 libbpf: Fix build issue with llvm-readelf
[ Upstream commit 0908a66ad1 ]

There are cases where clang compiler is packaged in a way
readelf is a symbolic link to llvm-readelf. In such cases,
llvm-readelf will be used instead of default binutils readelf,
and the following error will appear during libbpf build:

#  Warning: Num of global symbols in
#   /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/libbpf/sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o (367)
#   does NOT match with num of versioned symbols in
#   /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/libbpf/libbpf.so libbpf.map (383).
#   Please make sure all LIBBPF_API symbols are versioned in libbpf.map.

The above failure is due to different printouts for some ABS
versioned symbols. For example, with the same libbpf.so,
  $ /bin/readelf --dyn-syms --wide tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.so | grep "LIBBPF" | grep ABS
     134: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS LIBBPF_0.5.0
     202: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS LIBBPF_0.6.0
     ...
  $ /opt/llvm/bin/readelf --dyn-syms --wide tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.so | grep "LIBBPF" | grep ABS
     134: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   ABS LIBBPF_0.5.0@@LIBBPF_0.5.0
     202: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   ABS LIBBPF_0.6.0@@LIBBPF_0.6.0
     ...
The binutils readelf doesn't print out the symbol LIBBPF_* version and llvm-readelf does.
Such a difference caused libbpf build failure with llvm-readelf.

The proposed fix filters out all ABS symbols as they are not part of the comparison.
This works for both binutils readelf and llvm-readelf.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
