Add support for BPF CO-RE offset relocations. Add section/record
iteration macros for .BTF.ext. These macro are useful for iterating over
each .BTF.ext record, either for dumping out contents or later for BPF
CO-RE relocation handling.
To enable other parts of libbpf to work with .BTF.ext contents, moved
a bunch of type definitions into libbpf_internal.h.

This patch adds support for a new way to define BPF maps. It relies on
BTF to describe mandatory and optional attributes of a map, as well as
captures type information of key and value naturally. This eliminates
the need for BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR hack and ensures key/value sizes are
always in sync with the key/value type.
Relying on BTF, this approach allows for both forward and backward
compatibility w.r.t. extending supported map definition features. By
default, any unrecognized attributes are treated as an error, but it's
possible relax this using MAPS_RELAX_COMPAT flag. New attributes, added
in the future will need to be optional.
The outline of the new map definition (short, BTF-defined maps) is as follows:
1. All the maps should be defined in .maps ELF section. It's possible to
have both "legacy" map definitions in `maps` sections and BTF-defined
maps in .maps sections. Everything will still work transparently.
2. The map declaration and initialization is done through
a global/static variable of a struct type with few mandatory and
extra optional fields:
- type field is mandatory and specified type of BPF map;
- key/value fields are mandatory and capture key/value type/size information;
- max_entries attribute is optional; if max_entries is not specified or
initialized, it has to be provided in runtime through libbpf API
before loading bpf_object;
- map_flags is optional and if not defined, will be assumed to be 0.
3. Key/value fields should be **a pointer** to a type describing
key/value. The pointee type is assumed (and will be recorded as such
and used for size determination) to be a type describing key/value of
the map. This is done to save excessive amounts of space allocated in
corresponding ELF sections for key/value of big size.
4. As some maps disallow having BTF type ID associated with key/value,
it's possible to specify key/value size explicitly without
associating BTF type ID with it. Use key_size and value_size fields
to do that (see example below).
Here's an example of simple ARRAY map defintion:
struct my_value { int x, y, z; };
struct {
int type;
int max_entries;
int *key;
struct my_value *value;
} btf_map SEC(".maps") = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
.max_entries = 16,
};
This will define BPF ARRAY map 'btf_map' with 16 elements. The key will
be of type int and thus key size will be 4 bytes. The value is struct
my_value of size 12 bytes. This map can be used from C code exactly the
same as with existing maps defined through struct bpf_map_def.
Here's an example of STACKMAP definition (which currently disallows BTF type
IDs for key/value):
struct {
__u32 type;
__u32 max_entries;
__u32 map_flags;
__u32 key_size;
__u32 value_size;
} stackmap SEC(".maps") = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE,
.max_entries = 128,
.map_flags = BPF_F_STACK_BUILD_ID,
.key_size = sizeof(__u32),
.value_size = PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH * sizeof(struct bpf_stack_build_id),
};
This approach is naturally extended to support map-in-map, by making a value
field to be another struct that describes inner map. This feature is not
implemented yet. It's also possible to incrementally add features like pinning
with full backwards and forward compatibility. Support for static
initialization of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY using pointers to BPF programs
is also on the roadmap.

BTF contains enough type information to allow generating valid
compilable C header w/ correct layout of structs/unions and all the
typedef/enum definitions. This patch adds a new "object" - btf_dump to
facilitate dumping BTF as valid C. btf_dump__dump_type() is the main API
which takes care of dumping out (through user-provided printf-like
callback function) C definitions for given type ID and it's required
dependencies. This allows for not just dumping out entirety of BTF types,
but also selective filtering based on user-provided criterias w/ minimal

This adds libbpf support for BTF Var and DataSec kinds. Main point
here is that libbpf needs to do some preparatory work before the
whole BTF object can be loaded into the kernel, that is, fixing up
of DataSec size taken from the ELF section size and non-static
variable offset which needs to be taken from the ELF's string section.
Upstream LLVM doesn't fix these up since at time of BTF emission
it is too early in the compilation process thus this information
isn't available yet, hence loader needs to take care of it.
Note, deduplication handling has not been in the scope of this work
and needs to be addressed in a future commit.

Default size of dedup table (16k) is good enough for most binaries, even
typical vmlinux images. But there are cases of binaries with huge amount
of BTF types (e.g., allyesconfig variants of kernel), which benefit from
having bigger dedup table size to lower amount of unnecessary hash
collisions. Tools like pahole, thus, can tune this parameter to reach
optimal performance.
This change also serves double purpose of allowing tests to force hash
collisions to test some corner cases, used in follow up patch.

This change splits out previous btf__new functionality of constructing
struct btf and loading it into kernel into two:
- btf__new() just creates and initializes struct btf
- btf__load() attempts to load existing struct btf into kernel
btf__free will still close BTF fd, if it was ever loaded successfully
into kernel.
This change allows users of libbpf to manipulate BTF using its API,
without the need to unnecessarily load it into kernel.
One of the intended use cases is pahole, which will do DWARF to BTF
conversion and then use libbpf to do type deduplication, while then
handling ELF sections overwriting and other concerns on its own.

This will be problematic if the caller for map_name already has attribute "const",

Currently, to get map key/value type id's, the macro
BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(<map_name>, <key_type>, <value_type>)

corresponding map.
During program/map loading time,
the local static function bpf_map_find_btf_info()

type ids given the map name.
The patch refactored function bpf_map_find_btf_info()
to create an API btf__get_map_kv_tids() which includes
the bulk of implementation for the original function.
The API btf__get_map_kv_tids() can be used by bcc,

This patch refactor and fix a bug in the libbpf's bpf_func_info loading
logic. The bug fix and refactoring are targeting the same
commit 2993e0515b ("tools/bpf: add support to read .BTF.ext sections")
which is in the bpf-next branch.
1) In bpf_load_program_xattr(), it should retry when errno == E2BIG
regardless of log_buf and log_buf_sz. This patch fixes it.
2) btf_ext__reloc_init() and btf_ext__reloc() are essentially
the same except btf_ext__reloc_init() always has insns_cnt == 0.
Hence, btf_ext__reloc_init() is removed.
btf_ext__reloc() is also renamed to btf_ext__reloc_func_info()
to get ready for the line_info support in the next patch.
3) Consolidate func_info section logic from "btf_ext_parse_hdr()",
"btf_ext_validate_func_info()" and "btf_ext__new()" to
a new function "btf_ext_copy_func_info()" such that similar
logic can be reused by the later libbpf's line_info patch.
4) The next line_info patch will store line_info_cnt instead of
line_info_len in the bpf_program because the kernel is taking
line_info_cnt also. It will save a few "len" to "cnt" conversions
and will also save some function args.
Hence, this patch also makes bpf_program to store func_info_cnt
instead of func_info_len.
5) btf_ext depends on btf. e.g. the func_info's type_id
in ".BTF.ext" is not useful when ".BTF" is absent.
This patch only init the obj->btf_ext pointer after
it has successfully init the obj->btf pointer.
This can avoid always checking "obj->btf && obj->btf_ext"
together for accessing ".BTF.ext". Checking "obj->btf_ext"
alone will do.
6) Move "struct btf_sec_func_info" from btf.h to btf.c.
There is no external usage outside btf.c.

This is common practice that should prevent from accidentally exporting
