b4cbfa5670 tools lib bpf: Use IS_ERR() reporting macros with bpf_map__get_private()
To try to, over time, consistently use the IS_ERR() interface instead of
using two return values, i.e. the integer return value for an error and
the pointer address to return the bpf_map->priv pointer.

Also rename it to bpf__priv(), to leave the "get" term for reference
counting.

Noticed while working on using BPF for collecting non-integer syscall
argument payloads (struct sockaddr in calls such as connect(), for
instance), where we need to use BPF maps and thus generalise
bpf__setup_stdout() to connect bpf_output events with maps in a bpf
proggie.

666810e86a perf bpf: Check relocation target section
Libbpf should check the target section before doing relocation to ensure
the relocation is correct. If not, a bug in LLVM causes an error. See
[1].  Also, if an incorrect BPF script uses both global variable and
map, global variable whould be treated as map and be relocated without
error.

This patch saves the id of the map section into obj->efile and compare
target section of a relocation symbol against it during relocation.

Previous patch introduces a test case about this problem.  After this
patch:

d5ef314035 perf bpf: Fix build breakage due to libbpf
perf build is currently (v4.4-rc5) broken on powerpc:

  bpf.c:28:4: error: #error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support
  your arch.
   #  error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch.
      ^

Fix this by including tools/scripts/Makefile.arch for the proper $ARCH
macro. While at it, remove redundant LP64 macro definition.

Also, since libbpf require $(srctree) now, detect the path of srctree
like perf.

77ba9a5b48 tools lib bpf: Fetch map names from correct strtab
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

        0000000000000000  0000000000000000           0     0     0
   [ 1] .strtab           STRTAB           0000000000000000  00000230
        0000000000000051  0000000000000000           0     0     1
        ...
 $ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o

   [     1]  .text
   [     7]  .comment

   [    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.

43798bf372 bpf tools: Add helper function for updating bpf maps elements
Add bpf_map_update_elem() helper function which calls the sys_bpf
syscall to update elements in bpf maps. Upcoming patches will use it to
adjust data in map through the perf command line.

d8ad6a15cc tools lib bpf: Don't do a feature check when cleaning
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'.

b580563e38 bpf tools: Load a program with different instances using preprocessor
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.
