<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

When I use the command 'make M=samples/bpf' to compile samples/bpf code
in ubuntu 22.04, the error info occured:
Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of "  /home/ubuntu/code/linux/vmlinux",
build the kernel or set VMLINUX_BTF or VMLINUX_H variable

Others often encounter this kind of issue, new kernel has the vmlinux, so we can
set the path in error info which seems more intuitive, like:
Cannot find a vmlinux for VMLINUX_BTF at any of "  /home/ubuntu/code/linux/vmlinux",
buiild the kernel or set VMLINUX_BTF like "VMLINUX_BTF=/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux" or

samples/bpf build its own bpftool boostrap to generate vmlinux.h as well
as some BPF objects. This is a redundant step if bpftool has been
already built, so update samples/bpf/Makefile such that it accepts a
path to bpftool passed via the BPFTOOL variable. The approach is
practically the same as tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile uses.

<title>samples/bpf: Fix passing LDFLAGS to libbpf</title>

samples/bpf/Makefile passes LDFLAGS=$(TPROGS_LDFLAGS) to libbpf build
without surrounding quotes, which may cause compilation errors when
passing custom TPROGS_USER_LDFLAGS.

For example:

    $ make -C samples/bpf/ TPROGS_USER_LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed -specs=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/13/libsanitizer.spec"
    make: Entering directory './samples/bpf'

    make[1]: Entering directory '.'
    make -C ./samples/bpf/../../tools/lib/bpf RM='rm -rf' EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wall -O2 -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes  -I./usr/include -I./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ -I./samples/bpf/libbpf/include -I./tools/include -I./tools/perf -I./tools/lib -DHAVE_ATTR_TEST=0" \

    make: invalid option -- '='
    make: invalid option -- '/'
    make: invalid option -- 'u'

Fix the error by properly quoting $(TPROGS_LDFLAGS).

Currently, it is not possible to specify custom flags when building
samples/bpf. The flags are defined in TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS
variables, however, when trying to override those from the make command,
compilation fails.

For example, when trying to build with PIE:

    $ make -C samples/bpf TPROGS_CFLAGS="-fpie" TPROGS_LDFLAGS="-pie"

This is because samples/bpf/Makefile updates these variables, especially
appends include paths to TPROGS_CFLAGS and these updates are overridden
by setting the variables from the make command.

This patch introduces variables TPROGS_USER_CFLAGS/TPROGS_USER_LDFLAGS
for this purpose, which can be set from the make command and their
values are propagated to TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS.

The sanitizer flag, which is supported by both clang and gcc, would make
it easier to debug array index out-of-bounds problems in these programs.

Make the Makfile smarter to detect ubsan support from the compiler and
add the '-fsanitize=bounds' accordingly.

Static ksyms often have problems because the number of symbols exceeds the
MAX_SYMS limit. Like changing the MAX_SYMS from 300000 to 400000 in
commit e76a014334a6("selftests/bpf: Bump and validate MAX_SYMS") solves
the problem somewhat, but it's not the perfect way.

This commit uses dynamic memory allocation, which completely solves the
problem caused by the limitation of the number of kallsyms. At the same
time, add APIs:

    load_kallsyms_local()
    ksym_search_local()
    ksym_get_addr_local()
    free_kallsyms_local()

There are used to solve the problem of selftests/bpf updating kallsyms
after attach new symbols during testmod testing.

The functionality of this utility is covered by the xdpdump utility in
xdp-tools.

There's a slight difference in usage as the xdpdump utility's main focus is
to dump packets before or after they are processed by an existing XDP
program. However, xdpdump also has the --load-xdp-program switch, which
will make it attach its own program if no existing program is loaded. With
this, xdp_sample_pkts usage can be converted as:

xdp_sample_pkts eth0
  --&gt; xdpdump --load-xdp-program eth0

To get roughly equivalent behaviour.

<title>samples/bpf: Remove the xdp1 and xdp2 utilities</title>

The functionality of these utilities have been incorporated into the
xdp-bench utility in xdp-tools.

Equivalent functionality is:

xdp1 eth0
  --&gt; xdp-bench drop -p parse-ip -l load-bytes eth0

xdp2 eth0
  --&gt; xdp-bench drop -p swap-macs eth0

Note that there's a slight difference in behaviour of those examples: the
swap-macs operation of xdp-bench doesn't use the bpf_xdp_load_bytes()
helper to load the packet data, whereas the xdp2 utility did so
unconditionally. For the parse-ip action the use of bpf_xdp_load_bytes()
can be selected by the '-l load-bytes' switch, with the difference that the
xdp-bench utility will perform two separate calls to the helper, one to
load the ethernet header and another to load the IP header; where the xdp1
utility only performed one call always loading 60 bytes of data.
