Adding following helpers for tracing programs:

Get n-th argument of the traced function:
  long bpf_get_func_arg(void *ctx, u32 n, u64 *value)

Get return value of the traced function:
  long bpf_get_func_ret(void *ctx, u64 *value)

Get arguments count of the traced function:
  long bpf_get_func_arg_cnt(void *ctx)

The trampoline now stores number of arguments on ctx-8
address, so it's easy to verify argument index and find
return value argument's position.

Moving function ip address on the trampoline stack behind
the number of functions arguments, so it's now stored on
ctx-16 address if it's needed.

All helpers above are inlined by verifier.

Also bit unrelated small change - using newly added function
bpf_prog_has_trampoline in check_get_func_ip.

read-only string, and another string has const max storage size
but doesn't need to be null-terminated. It can be used to compare

struct bpf_core_relo is generated by llvm and processed by libbpf.
It's a de-facto uapi.
With CO-RE in the kernel the struct bpf_core_relo becomes uapi de-jure.
Add an ability to pass a set of 'struct bpf_core_relo' to prog_load command
and let the kernel perform CO-RE relocations.

Note the struct bpf_line_info and struct bpf_func_info have the same
layout when passed from LLVM to libbpf and from libbpf to the kernel
except "insn_off" fields means "byte offset" when LLVM generates it.
Then libbpf converts it to "insn index" to pass to the kernel.
The struct bpf_core_relo's "insn_off" field is always "byte offset".

<title>bpf: Add bpf_loop helper</title>

<id>e6f2dd0f80674e9d5960337b3e9c2a242441b326</id>

This patch adds the kernel-side and API changes for a new helper
function, bpf_loop:

long bpf_loop(u32 nr_loops, void *callback_fn, void *callback_ctx,
u64 flags);

where long (*callback_fn)(u32 index, void *ctx);

bpf_loop invokes the "callback_fn" **nr_loops** times or until the
callback_fn returns 1. The callback_fn can only return 0 or 1, and
this is enforced by the verifier. The callback_fn index is zero-indexed.

A few things to please note:
~ The "u64 flags" parameter is currently unused but is included in
case a future use case for it arises.
~ In the kernel-side implementation of bpf_loop (kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c),
bpf_callback_t is used as the callback function cast.
~ A program can have nested bpf_loop calls but the program must
still adhere to the verifier constraint of its stack depth (the stack depth
cannot exceed MAX_BPF_STACK))
~ Recursive callback_fns do not pass the verifier, due to the call stack
for these being too deep.
~ The next patch will include the tests and benchmark

<title>bpf: Change value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT from 32 to 33</title>

<id>ebf7f6f0a6cdcc17a3da52b81e4b3a98c4005028</id>
<content type='text'>
In the current code, the actual max tail call count is 33 which is greater
than MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT (defined as 32). The actual limit is not consistent
with the meaning of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT and thus confusing at first glance.
We can see the historical evolution from commit 04fd61ab36ec ("bpf: allow
bpf programs to tail-call other bpf programs") and commit f9dabe016b63
("bpf: Undo off-by-one in interpreter tail call count limit"). In order
to avoid changing existing behavior, the actual limit is 33 now, this is
reasonable.

After commit 874be05f525e ("bpf, tests: Add tail call test suite"), we can
see there exists failed testcase.

On all archs when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set:
 # echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
 # modprobe test_bpf
 # dmesg | grep -w FAIL
 Tail call error path, max count reached jited:0 ret 34 != 33 FAIL

On some archs:
 # echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
 # modprobe test_bpf
 # dmesg | grep -w FAIL
 Tail call error path, max count reached jited:1 ret 34 != 33 FAIL

Although the above failed testcase has been fixed in commit 18935a72eb25
("bpf/tests: Fix error in tail call limit tests"), it would still be good
to change the value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT from 32 to 33 to make the code
more readable.

The 32-bit x86 JIT was using a limit of 32, just fix the wrong comments and
limit to 33 tail calls as the constant MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT updated. For the
mips64 JIT, use "ori" instead of "addiu" as suggested by Johan Almbladh.
For the riscv JIT, use RV_REG_TCC directly to save one register move as
suggested by Björn Töpel. For the other implementations, no function changes,
it does not change the current limit 33, the new value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT
can reflect the actual max tail call count, the related tail call testcases
in test_bpf module and selftests can work well for the interpreter and the
JIT.

Here are the test results on x86_64:

 # uname -m
 x86_64
 # echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
 # modprobe test_bpf test_suite=test_tail_calls
 # dmesg | tail -1

 # rmmod test_bpf

 # rmmod test_bpf
 # ./test_progs -t tailcalls

It may be helpful to have access to the ifindex during bpf socket
lookup. An example may be to scope certain socket lookup logic to
specific interfaces, i.e. an interface may be made exempt from custom
lookup code.

Add the ifindex of the arriving connection to the bpf_sk_lookup API.

<title>bpf: Introduce helper bpf_find_vma</title>

<id>7c7e3d31e7856a8260a254f8c71db416f7f9f5a1</id>
<content type='text'>
In some profiler use cases, it is necessary to map an address to the
backing file, e.g., a shared library. bpf_find_vma helper provides a
flexible way to achieve this. bpf_find_vma maps an address of a task to
the vma (vm_area_struct) for this address, and feed the vma to an callback
BPF function. The callback function is necessary here, as we need to
ensure mmap_sem is unlocked.

It is necessary to lock mmap_sem for find_vma. To lock and unlock mmap_sem
safely when irqs are disable, we use the same mechanism as stackmap with
build_id. Specifically, when irqs are disabled, the unlocked is postponed
in an irq_work. Refactor stackmap.c so that the irq_work is shared among
bpf_find_vma and stackmap helpers.

In some profiler use cases, it is necessary to map an address to the
backing file, e.g., a shared library. bpf_find_vma helper provides a
flexible way to achieve this. bpf_find_vma maps an address of a task to
the vma (vm_area_struct) for this address, and feed the vma to an callback
BPF function. The callback function is necessary here, as we need to
ensure mmap_sem is unlocked.

This patch makes 2 changes regarding alignment padding
for the "map_extra" field.

1) In the kernel header, "map_extra" and "btf_value_type_id"
are rearranged to consolidate the hole.

Before:
struct bpf_map {
	...
        u32		max_entries;	/*    36     4	*/
        u32		map_flags;	/*    40     4	*/

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        u64		map_extra;	/*    48     8	*/
        int		spin_lock_off;	/*    56     4	*/
        int		timer_off;	/*    60     4	*/
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
        u32		id;		/*    64     4	*/
        int		numa_node;	/*    68     4	*/
	...
        bool		frozen;		/*   117     1	*/

        /* XXX 10 bytes hole, try to pack */

        /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
	...
        struct work_struct	work;	/*   144    72	*/

        /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */
	struct mutex	freeze_mutex;	/*   216   144 	*/

        /* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
        u64		writecnt; 	/*   360     8	*/

    /* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 26 */
    /* sum members: 354, holes: 2, sum holes: 14 */
    /* padding: 16 */
    /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 10 */

} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));

After:
struct bpf_map {
	...
        u32		max_entries;	/*    36     4	*/
        u64		map_extra;	/*    40     8 	*/
        u32		map_flags;	/*    48     4	*/
        int		spin_lock_off;	/*    52     4	*/
        int		timer_off;	/*    56     4	*/
        u32		id;		/*    60     4	*/

        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
        int		numa_node;	/*    64     4	*/
	...
	bool		frozen		/*   113     1  */

        /* XXX 14 bytes hole, try to pack */

        /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
	...
        struct work_struct	work;	/*   144    72	*/

        /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */
        struct mutex	freeze_mutex;	/*   216   144	*/

        /* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
        u64		writecnt;       /*   360     8	*/

    /* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 26 */
    /* sum members: 354, holes: 1, sum holes: 14 */
    /* padding: 16 */
    /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 14 */

} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));

2) Add alignment padding to the bpf_map_info struct

This helper allows us to get the address of a kernel symbol from inside
a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL prog (used by gen_loader), so that we can
relocate typeless ksym vars.
