Now it is possible for global function to have a pointer argument that
points to something different than struct. Drop the irrelevant log
message and keep the logic same.

Add an ability to pass a pointer to a type with known size in arguments
of a global function. Such pointers may be used to overcome the limit on
the maximum number of arguments, avoid expensive and tricky workarounds
and to have multiple output arguments.

A referenced type may contain pointers but indirect access through them
isn't supported.

The implementation consists of two parts.  If a global function has an
argument that is a pointer to a type with known size then:

  1) In btf_check_func_arg_match(): check that the corresponding
register points to NULL or to a valid memory region that is large enough
to contain the expected argument's type.

  2) In btf_prepare_func_args(): set the corresponding register type to
PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL and its size to the size of the expected type.

Only global functions are supported because allowance of pointers for
static functions might break validation. Consider the following
scenario. A static function has a pointer argument. A caller passes
pointer to its stack memory. Because the callee can change referenced
memory verifier cannot longer assume any particular slot type of the
caller's stack memory hence the slot type is changed to SLOT_MISC.  If
there is an operation that relies on slot type other than SLOT_MISC then
verifier won't be able to infer safety of the operation.

When verifier sees a static function that has a pointer argument
different from PTR_TO_CTX then it skips arguments check and continues
with "inline" validation with more information available. The operation
that relies on the particular slot type now succeeds.

Because global functions were not allowed to have pointer arguments
different from PTR_TO_CTX it's not possible to break existing and valid
code.

Using "reg" for an array of bpf_reg_state and "reg[i + 1]" for an
individual bpf_reg_state is error-prone and verbose. Use "regs" for the
former and "reg" for the latter as other code nearby does.

<title>bpf: Permit size-0 datasec</title>

llvm patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D84002 permitted
to emit empty rodata datasec if the elf .rodata section
contains read-only data from local variables. These
local variables will be not emitted as BTF_KIND_VARs
since llvm converted these local variables as
static variables with private linkage without debuginfo
types. Such an empty rodata datasec will make
skeleton code generation easy since for skeleton
a rodata struct will be generated if there is a
.rodata elf section. The existence of a rodata
btf datasec is also consistent with the existence
of a rodata map created by libbpf.

The btf with such an empty rodata datasec will fail
in the kernel though as kernel will reject a datasec
with zero vlen and zero size. For example, for the below code,
    int sys_enter(void *ctx)
    {
       int fmt[6] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
       int dst[6];

       bpf_probe_read(dst, sizeof(dst), fmt);
       return 0;
    }
We got the below btf (bpftool btf dump ./test.o):
    [1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=0
    [2] FUNC_PROTO '(anon)' ret_type_id=3 vlen=1
            'ctx' type_id=1
    [3] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
    [4] FUNC 'sys_enter' type_id=2 linkage=global
    [5] INT 'char' size=1 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=8 encoding=SIGNED
    [6] ARRAY '(anon)' type_id=5 index_type_id=7 nr_elems=4
    [7] INT '__ARRAY_SIZE_TYPE__' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none)
    [8] VAR '_license' type_id=6, linkage=global-alloc
    [9] DATASEC '.rodata' size=0 vlen=0
    [10] DATASEC 'license' size=0 vlen=1
            type_id=8 offset=0 size=4
When loading the ./test.o to the kernel with bpftool,
we see the following error:
    libbpf: Error loading BTF: Invalid argument(22)
    libbpf: magic: 0xeb9f
    ...
    [6] ARRAY (anon) type_id=5 index_type_id=7 nr_elems=4
    [7] INT __ARRAY_SIZE_TYPE__ size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none)
    [8] VAR _license type_id=6 linkage=1
    [9] DATASEC .rodata size=24 vlen=0 vlen == 0
    libbpf: Error loading .BTF into kernel: -22. BTF is optional, ignoring.

Basically, libbpf changed .rodata datasec size to 24 since elf .rodata
section size is 24. The kernel then rejected the BTF since vlen = 0.
Note that the above kernel verifier failure can be worked around with
changing local variable "fmt" to a static or global, optionally const, variable.

This patch permits a datasec with vlen = 0 in kernel.

<title>bpf: Support BPF ksym variables in kernel modules</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for directly accessing kernel module variables from BPF programs
using special ldimm64 instructions. This functionality builds upon vmlinux
ksym support, but extends ldimm64 with src_reg=BPF_PSEUDO_BTF_ID to allow
specifying kernel module BTF's FD in insn[1].imm field.

During BPF program load time, verifier will resolve FD to BTF object and will
take reference on BTF object itself and, for module BTFs, corresponding module
as well, to make sure it won't be unloaded from under running BPF program. The
mechanism used is similar to how bpf_prog keeps track of used bpf_maps.

One interesting change is also in how per-CPU variable is determined. The
logic is to find .data..percpu data section in provided BTF, but both vmlinux
and module each have their own .data..percpu entries in BTF. So for module's
case, the search for DATASEC record needs to look at only module's added BTF
types. This is implemented with custom search function.

Some modules don't declare any new types and end up with an empty BTF,
containing only valid BTF header and no types or strings sections. This
currently causes BTF validation error. There is nothing wrong with such BTF,
so fix the issue by allowing module BTFs with no types or strings.

Add ability for user-space programs to specify non-vmlinux BTF when attaching
BTF-powered BPF programs: raw_tp, fentry/fexit/fmod_ret, LSM, etc. For this,
attach_prog_fd (now with the alias name attach_btf_obj_fd) should specify FD
of a module or vmlinux BTF object. For backwards compatibility reasons,
0 denotes vmlinux BTF. Only kernel BTF (vmlinux or module) can be specified.

Add ability for user-space programs to specify non-vmlinux BTF when attaching
BTF-powered BPF programs: raw_tp, fentry/fexit/fmod_ret, LSM, etc. For this,
attach_prog_fd (now with the alias name attach_btf_obj_fd) should specify FD
of a module or vmlinux BTF object. For backwards compatibility reasons,
0 denotes vmlinux BTF. Only kernel BTF (vmlinux or module) can be specified.

<title>bpf: Remove hard-coded btf_vmlinux assumption from BPF verifier</title>

Remove a permeating assumption thoughout BPF verifier of vmlinux BTF. Instead,
wherever BTF type IDs are involved, also track the instance of struct btf that
goes along with the type ID. This allows to gradually add support for kernel
module BTFs and using/tracking module types across BPF helper calls and
registers.

This patch also renames btf_id() function to btf_obj_id() to minimize naming
clash with using btf_id to denote BTF *type* ID, rather than BTF *object*'s ID.

Also, altough btf_vmlinux can't get destructed and thus doesn't need
refcounting, module BTFs need that, so apply BTF refcounting universally when
BPF program is using BTF-powered attachment (tp_btf, fentry/fexit, etc). This
makes for simpler clean up code.

Now that BTF type ID is not enough to uniquely identify a BTF type, extend BPF
trampoline key to include BTF object ID. To differentiate that from target
program BPF ID, set 31st bit of type ID. BTF type IDs (at least currently) are
not allowed to take full 32 bits, so there is no danger of confusing that bit
with a valid BTF type ID.
