This patch records the indices of instructions which are needed to be
relocated. That information is saved in the 'reloc_desc' field in
'struct bpf_program'. In the loading phase (this patch takes effect in
the opening phase), the collected instructions will be replaced by map
loading instructions.
Since we are going to close the ELF file and clear all data at the end
of the 'opening' phase, the ELF information will no longer be valid in
the 'loading' phase. We have to locate the instructions before maps are
loaded, instead of directly modifying the instruction.
'struct bpf_map_def' is introduced in this patch to let us know how many
maps are defined in the object.
This is the third part of map relocation. The principle of map relocation
is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from
SHT_SYMTAB section'.

This patch collects relocation sections into 'struct object'. Such
sections are used for connecting maps to bpf programs. 'reloc' field in
'struct bpf_object' is introduced for storing such information.
This patch simply store the data into 'reloc' field. Following patch
will parse them to know the exact instructions which are needed to be
relocated.
Note that the collected data will be invalid after ELF object file is
closed.
This is the second patch related to map relocation. The first one is
'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section'. The
principle of map relocation is described in its commit message.

This patch collects all programs in an object file into an array of
'struct bpf_program' for further processing. That structure is for
representing each eBPF program. 'bpf_prog' should be a better name, but
it has been used by linux/filter.h. Although it is a kernel space name,
I still prefer to call it 'bpf_program' to prevent possible confusion.
bpf_object__add_program() creates a new 'struct bpf_program' object.
It first init a variable in stack using bpf_program__init(), then if
success, enlarges obj->programs array and copy the new object in.

[ Made bpf_object__add_program() propagate the error (-EINVAL or -ENOMEM) ]

This patch collects symbols section. This section is useful when linking
BPF maps.
What 'bpf_map_xxx()' functions actually require are map's file
descriptors (and the internal verifier converts fds into pointers to
'struct bpf_map'), which we don't know when compiling. Therefore, we
should make compiler generate a 'ldr_64 r1, <imm>' instruction, and
fill the 'imm' field with the actual file descriptor when loading in
libbpf.
BPF programs should be written in this way:
struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") my_map = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
.key_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
.value_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
.max_entries = 1000000,
};
SEC("my_func=sys_write")
int my_func(void *ctx)
{
...
bpf_map_update_elem(&my_map, &key, &value, BPF_ANY);
...
}
Compiler should convert '&my_map' into a 'ldr_64, r1, <imm>'
instruction, where imm should be the address of 'my_map'. According to
the address, libbpf knows which map it actually referenced, and then
fills the imm field with the 'fd' of that map created by it.
However, since we never really 'link' the object file, the imm field is
only a record in relocation section. Therefore libbpf should do the
relocation:
1. In relocation section (type == SHT_REL), positions of each such
'ldr_64' instruction are recorded with a reference of an entry in
symbol table (SHT_SYMTAB);
2. From records in symbol table we can find the indics of map
variables.
Libbpf first record SHT_SYMTAB and positions of each instruction which
required bu such operation. Then create file descriptor. Finally, after
map creation complete, replace the imm field.
This is the first patch of BPF map related stuff. It records SHT_SYMTAB
into object's efile field for further use.

If maps are used by eBPF programs, corresponding object file(s) should
contain a section named 'map'. Which contains map definitions. This
patch copies the data of the whole section. Map data parsing should be
acted just before map loading.

Expand bpf_obj_elf_collect() to collect license and kernel version
information in eBPF object file. eBPF object file should have a section
named 'license', which contains a string. It should also have a section
named 'version', contains a u32 LINUX_VERSION_CODE.
bpf_obj_validate() is introduced to validate object file after loaded.
Currently it only check existence of 'version' section.

Check endianness according to EHDR. Code is taken from
tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c.
Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianness. Even if we swap
eBPF instructions to correct byte order, we are unable to deal with
endianness in code logical generated by LLVM.
Therefore, libbpf should simply reject missmatched ELF object, and let
LLVM to create good code.

To support dynamic compiling, this patch allows caller to pass a
in-memory buffer to libbpf by bpf_object__open_buffer(). libbpf calls
elf_memory() to open it as ELF object file.
Because __bpf_object__open() collects all required data and won't need
that buffer anymore, libbpf uses that buffer directly instead of clone a
new buffer. Caller of libbpf can free that buffer or use it do other
things after bpf_object__open_buffer() return.

This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will
be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to
user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this
patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic
validation according to e_type and e_machine.
All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.
After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.
The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL
pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

By libbpf_set_print(), users of libbpf are allowed to register he/she
own debug, info and warning printing functions. Libbpf will use those
functions to print messages. If not provided, default info and warning
printing functions are fprintf(stderr, ...); default debug printing
is NULL.
This API is designed to be used by perf, enables it to register its own
logging functions to make all logs uniform, instead of separated

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.
Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.
Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.
To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.
