Some versions of kernel were stripping out '.llvm.<hash>' suffix from
kerne symbols (produced by Clang LTO compilation) from function names
reported in available_filter_functions, while kallsyms reported full
original name. This confuses libbpf's multi-kprobe logic of finding all
matching kernel functions for specified user glob pattern by joining
available_filter_functions and kallsyms contents, because joining by
full symbol name won't work for symbols containing '.llvm.<hash>' suffix.
This was eventually fixed by [0] in the kernel, but we'd like to not
regress multi-kprobe experience and add a work around for this bug on
libbpf side, stripping kallsym's name if it matches user pattern and
contains '.llvm.' suffix.

When redirecting the split BTF to the vmlinux base BTF, we need to mark
the distilled base struct/union members of split BTF structs/unions in
id_map with BTF_IS_EMBEDDED. This indicates that these types must match
both name and size later. Therefore, we need to traverse the entire
split BTF, which involves traversing type IDs from nr_dist_base_types to
nr_types. However, the current implementation uses an incorrect
traversal end type ID, so let's correct it.

Jordan reported an issue in Meta production environment where func
try_to_wake_up() is renamed to try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() by clang
compiler at lto mode. The original 'kprobe/try_to_wake_up' does not
work any more since try_to_wake_up() does not match the actual func
name in /proc/kallsyms.
There are a couple of ways to resolve this issue. For example, in
attach_kprobe(), we could do lookup in /proc/kallsyms so try_to_wake_up()
can be replaced by try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). Or we can force users
to use bpf_program__attach_kprobe() where they need to lookup
/proc/kallsyms to find out try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). But these two
approaches requires extra work by either libbpf or user.
Luckily, suggested by Andrii, multi kprobe already supports wildcard ('*')
for symbol matching. In the above example, 'try_to_wake_up*' can match
to try_to_wake_up() or try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() and this allows
bpf prog works for different kernels as some kernels may have
try_to_wake_up() and some others may have try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>().
The original intention is to kprobe try_to_wake_up() only, so an optional
field unique_match is added to struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts. If the
field is set to true, the number of matched functions must be one.
Otherwise, the attachment will fail. In the above case, multi kprobe
with 'try_to_wake_up*' and unique_match preserves user functionality.

Starting from 105ff5339f ("mm/memfd: add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and
MFD_EXEC") and until 1717449b44 ("memfd: drop warning for missing
exec-related flags"), the kernel would print a warning if neither
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL nor MFD_EXEC is set in memfd_create().
If libbpf runs on on a kernel between these two commits (eg. on an
improperly backported system), it'll trigger this warning.
To avoid this warning (and also be more secure), explicitly set
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL. But since libbpf can be run on potentially very old
kernels, leave a fallback for kernels without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL support.

The new_fd and add_fd functions correspond to the original new and
add_file functions, but accept an FD instead of a file name. This
gives API consumers the option of using anonymous files/memfds to
avoid writing ELFs to disk.
This new API will be useful for performing linking as part of
bpftrace's JIT compilation.
The add_buf function is a convenience wrapper that does the work of
creating a memfd for the caller.

Move the filename arguments and file-descriptor handling from
init_output_elf() and linker_load_obj_file() and instead handle them
at the top-level in bpf_linker__new() and bpf_linker__add_file().
This will allow the inner functions to be shared with a new,
non-filename-based, API in the next commit.

Libelf functions do not set errno on failure. Instead, it relies on its
internal _elf_errno value, that can be retrieved via elf_errno (or the
corresponding message via elf_errmsg()). From "man libelf":
If a libelf function encounters an error it will set an internal
error code that can be retrieved with elf_errno. Each thread
maintains its own separate error code. The meaning of each error
code can be determined with elf_errmsg, which returns a string
describing the error.
As a consequence, libbpf should not return -errno when a function from
libelf fails, because an empty value will not be interpreted as an error
and won't prevent the program to stop. This is visible in
bpf_linker__add_file(), for example, where we call a succession of
functions that rely on libelf:
err = err ?: linker_load_obj_file(linker, filename, opts, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_sec_data(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_elf_syms(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_elf_relos(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_btf(linker, &obj);
err = err ?: linker_append_btf_ext(linker, &obj);
If the object file that we try to process is not, in fact, a correct
object file, linker_load_obj_file() may fail with errno not being set,
and return 0. In this case we attempt to run linker_append_elf_sysms()
and may segfault.
This can happen (and was discovered) with bpftool:
$ bpftool gen object output.o sample_ret0.bpf.c
libbpf: failed to get ELF header for sample_ret0.bpf.c: invalid `Elf' handle
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) bpftool gen object output.o sample_ret0.bpf.c
Fix the issue by returning a non-null error code (-EINVAL) when libelf
functions fail.

When running `bpftool` on a kernel module installed in `/lib/modules...`,
this error is encountered if the user does not specify `--base-btf` to
point to a valid base BTF (e.g. usually in `/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux`).
However, looking at the debug output to determine the cause of the error
simply says `Invalid BTF string section`, which does not point to the
actual source of the error. This just improves that debug message to tell
users what happened.

USDT ELF note optionally can record an offset of .stapsdt.base, which is
used to make adjustments to USDT target attach address. Currently,
libbpf will do this address adjustment unconditionally if it finds
.stapsdt.base ELF section in target binary. But there is a corner case
where .stapsdt.base ELF section is present, but specific USDT note
doesn't reference it. In such case, libbpf will basically just add base
address and end up with absolutely incorrect USDT target address.
This adjustment has to be done only if both .stapsdt.sema section is
present and USDT note is recording a reference to it.

Since BPF skeleton inception libbpf has been doing mmap()'ing of global
data ARRAY maps in bpf_object__load_skeleton() API, which is used by
code generated .skel.h files (i.e., by BPF skeletons only).
This is wrong because if BPF object is loaded through generic
bpf_object__load() API, global data maps won't be re-mmap()'ed after
load step, and memory pointers returned from bpf_map__initial_value()
would be wrong and won't reflect the actual memory shared between BPF
program and user space.
bpf_map__initial_value() return result is rarely used after load, so
this went unnoticed for a really long time, until bpftrace project
attempted to load BPF object through generic bpf_object__load() API and
then used BPF subskeleton instantiated from such bpf_object. It turned
out that .data/.rodata/.bss data updates through such subskeleton was
"blackholed", all because libbpf wouldn't re-mmap() those maps during
bpf_object__load() phase.
Long story short, this step should be done by libbpf regardless of BPF
skeleton usage, right after BPF map is created in the kernel. This patch
moves this functionality into bpf_object__populate_internal_map() to
achieve this. And bpf_object__load_skeleton() is now simple and almost
trivial, only propagating these mmap()'ed pointers into user-supplied
skeleton structs.
We also do trivial adjustments to error reporting inside
bpf_object__populate_internal_map() for consistency with the rest of
libbpf's map-handling code.
