Sandipan Das dbecd73884 bpf: get kernel symbol addresses via syscall
This adds new two new fields to struct bpf_prog_info. For
multi-function programs, these fields can be used to pass
a list of kernel symbol addresses for all functions in a
given program to userspace using the bpf system call with
the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD command.

When bpf_jit_kallsyms is enabled, we can get the address
of the corresponding kernel symbol for a callee function
and resolve the symbol's name. The address is determined
by adding the value of the call instruction's imm field
to __bpf_call_base. This offset gets assigned to the imm
field by the verifier.

For some architectures, such as powerpc64, the imm field
is not large enough to hold this offset.

We resolve this by:

[1] Assigning the subprog id to the imm field of a call
    instruction in the verifier instead of the offset of
    the callee's symbol's address from __bpf_call_base.

[2] Determining the address of a callee's corresponding
    symbol by using the imm field as an index for the
    list of kernel symbol addresses now available from
    the program info.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
