Namhyung Kim pointed out a potential problem in original code that it
fetches names of maps from section header string table, which is used
to store section names.
Original code doesn't cause error because of a LLVM behavior that, it
combines shstrtab into strtab. For example:
$ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | x86_64-oe-linux-clang -x c -o temp.o -c -
$ readelf -h ./temp.o
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
...
Section header string table index: 1
$ readelf -S ./temp.o
There are 10 section headers, starting at offset 0x288:
Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Address Offset
Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align
[ 0] NULL 0000000000000000 00000000
0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0 0 0
[ 1] .strtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 00000230
0000000000000051 0000000000000000 0 0 1
...
$ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o
String dump of section '.strtab':
[ 1] .text
[ 7] .comment
[ 10] .bss
[ 15] .note.GNU-stack
[ 25] .rela.eh_frame
[ 34] func
[ 39] .strtab
[ 41] .symtab
[ 49] .data
[ 4f] -
$ readelf -p .shstrtab ./temp.o
readelf: Warning: Section '.shstrtab' was not dumped because it does not exist!
Where, 'section header string table index' points to '.strtab', and
symbol names are also stored there.
However, in case of gcc:
$ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | gcc -x c -o temp.o -c -
$ readelf -p .shstrtab ./temp.o
String dump of section '.shstrtab':
[ 1] .symtab
[ 9] .strtab
[ 11] .shstrtab
[ 1b] .text
[ 21] .data
[ 27] .bss
[ 2c] .comment
[ 35] .note.GNU-stack
[ 45] .rela.eh_frame
$ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o
String dump of section '.strtab':
[ 1] func
They are separated sections.
Although original code doesn't cause error, we'd better use canonical
method for fetching symbol names to avoid potential behavior changing.
This patch learns from readelf's code, fetches string from sh_link
of .symbol section.

Before this patch libbpf always do feature check even when cleaning.
For example:
$ cd kernel/tools/lib/bpf
$ make
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
CC libbpf.o
CC bpf.o
LD libbpf-in.o
LINK libbpf.a
LINK libbpf.so
$ make clean
CLEAN libbpf
CLEAN core-gen
$ make clean
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
CLEAN libbpf
CLEAN core-gen
$
Although the first 'make clean' doesn't show feature check result, it
still does the check. No output because check result is similar to
FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf.
This patch uses same method as perf to turn off feature checking when
'make clean'.

This patch is a preparation for BPF prologue support which allows
generating a series of BPF bytecode for fetching kernel data before
calling program code. With the newly introduced multiple instances
support, perf is able to create different prologues for different kprobe
points.
Before this patch, a bpf_program can be loaded into kernel only once,
and get the only resulting fd. What this patch does is to allow creating
and loading different variants of one bpf_program, then fetching their
fds.
Here we describe the basic idea in this patch. The detailed description
of the newly introduced APIs can be found in comments in the patch body.
The key of this patch is the new mechanism in bpf_program__load().
Instead of loading BPF program into kernel directly, it calls a
'pre-processor' to generate program instances which would be finally
loaded into the kernel based on the original code. To enable the
generation of multiple instances, libbpf passes an index to the
pre-processor so it know which instance is being loaded.
Pre-processor should be called from libbpf's user (perf) using
bpf_program__set_prep(). The number of instances and the relationship
between indices and the target instance should be clear when calling
bpf_program__set_prep().
To retrieve a fd for a specific instance of a program,
bpf_program__nth_fd() is introduced. It returns the resulting fd
according to index.

In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and
libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors.
Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the
CHECK_ERR() macro.
All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in
perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes
changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them.
bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf
errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will
be improved by the following patch.
load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log
buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid
program or other problem.
v1 -> v2:
- Using macro for error code.
- Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.
- Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code
are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD.
In v1:
# perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
\___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
SKIP
# perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls

When building tools/lib/bpf as part of the tools/perf/ build process,
which will happend when we introduce a patch wiring that up, we end up
stomping on the feature detection caching mechanism, that uses a file in
the output directory (O=) that is shared by libbpf and perf to check if
something changed from one build to another that requires redoing the
feature detection process.
By using the recently introduced FEATURE_USER tools/build/ knob, we can
avoid that:
Before, every make invokation would run the feature detection:
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
<SNIP>
... get_cpuid: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
GEN perf-archive
GEN perf-with-kcore
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
<SNIP>
After:
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
make: Leaving directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
$
Because we now have two different feature detection state files:
$ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 338 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 33 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf

When libbpf was introduced it wrongly asked for the "libelf" and "bpf"
feature tests to be performed (via FEATURE_TESTS), while asking that
"libbpf", "libelf-mmap", "libelf-getphdrnum" and "bpf" to have the
result of its respective tests to be displayed (via FEATURE_DISPLAY).
Due to another recently bug fixed in the tools/build/ infrastructure
("tools build: Fixup feature detection display function name") the
results for the entries in the FEATURE_DISPLAY, for this case, were
appearing as all succeeding, when two of them (the ones only on the
DISPLAY) were not even being performed.
Before:
$ make -C tools/lib/bpf/
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... libelf-getphdrnum: [ OFF ]
... libelf-mmap: [ OFF ]
... bpf: [ on ]
<SNIP>
After, with FEATURE_TESTS == FEATURE_DISPLAY:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... libelf-getphdrnum: [ on ]
... libelf-mmap: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
<SNIP>
I just inverted, so that it tests the four features but displays just
the libelf and mmap ones, to make it more compact. So it becomes:
$ make -C tools/lib/bpf/
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]

This patch utilizes previous introduced bpf_load_program to load
programs in the ELF file into kernel. Result is stored in 'fd' field in
'struct bpf_program'.
During loading, it allocs a log buffer and free it before return. Note
that that buffer is not passed to bpf_load_program() if the first
loading try is successful. Doesn't use a statically allocated log buffer
to avoid potention multi-thread problem.
Instructions collected during opening is cleared after loading.
load_program() is created for loading a 'struct bpf_insn' array into
kernel, bpf_program__load() calls it. By this design we have a function
loads instructions into kernel. It will be used by further patches,
which creates different instances from a program and load them into
kernel.

If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction
which loads an absolute address into a register, like this:
ld_64 r1, <MCOperand Expr:(mymap)>
...
call 2
That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section.
To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing
the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by
eBPF map functions.
This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by
patches:
'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section',
'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections'
and
'bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program'.
For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding
file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction.
This is the final part of map relocation patch. The principle of map
relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol
table from SHT_SYMTAB section'.
