bpf: kernel side support for BTF Var and DataSec

Browse Source

This work adds kernel-side verification, logging and seq_show dumping
of BTF Var and DataSec kinds which are emitted with latest LLVM. The
following constraints apply:

BTF Var must have:

- Its kind_flag is 0
- Its vlen is 0
- Must point to a valid type
- Type must not resolve to a forward type
- Size of underlying type must be > 0
- Must have a valid name
- Can only be a source type, not sink or intermediate one
- Name may include dots (e.g. in case of static variables
  inside functions)
- Cannot be a member of a struct/union
- Linkage so far can either only be static or global/allocated

BTF DataSec must have:

- Its kind_flag is 0
- Its vlen cannot be 0
- Its size cannot be 0
- Must have a valid name
- Can only be a source type, not sink or intermediate one
- Name may include dots (e.g. to represent .bss, .data, .rodata etc)
- Cannot be a member of a struct/union
- Inner btf_var_secinfo array with {type,offset,size} triple
  must be sorted by offset in ascending order
- Type must always point to BTF Var
- BTF resolved size of Var must be <= size provided by triple
- DataSec size must be >= sum of triple sizes (thus holes
  are allowed)

btf_var_resolve(), btf_ptr_resolve() and btf_modifier_resolve()
are on a high level quite similar but each come with slight,
subtle differences. They could potentially be a bit refactored
in future which hasn't been done here to ease review.
