<content type='text'>
Handle a GCC quirk of emitting extra volatile modifier in DWARF (and
subsequently preserved in BTF by pahole) for function pointers marked as
__attribute__((noreturn)). This was the way to mark such functions before GCC
2.5 added noreturn attribute. Drop such func_proto modifiers, similarly to how
it's done for array (also to handle GCC quirk/bug).

Such volatile attribute is emitted by GCC only, so existing selftests can't
express such test. Simple repro is like this (compiled with GCC + BTF
generated by pahole):

  struct my_struct {
      void __attribute__((noreturn)) (*fn)(int);
  };
  struct my_struct a;

Without this fix, output will be:

struct my_struct {
    voidvolatile  (*fn)(int);
};

With the fix:

struct my_struct {
    void (*fn)(int);
};

<title>libbpf: Assume unsigned values for BTF_KIND_ENUM</title>

Currently, BTF_KIND_ENUM type doesn't record whether enum values should be
interpreted as signed or unsigned. In Linux, most enums are unsigned, though,
so interpreting them as unsigned matches real world better.

Change btf_dump test case to test maximum 32-bit value, instead of negative
value.

<title>libbpf: Poison kernel-only integer types</title>

It's been a recurring issue with types like u32 slipping into libbpf source
code accidentally. This is not detected during builds inside kernel source
tree, but becomes a compilation error in libbpf's Github repo. Libbpf is
supposed to use only __{s,u}{8,16,32,64} typedefs, so poison {s,u}{8,16,32,64}
explicitly in every .c file. Doing that in a bit more centralized way, e.g.,
inside libbpf_internal.h breaks selftests, which are both using kernel u32 and
libbpf_internal.h.

This patch also fixes a new u32 occurence in libbpf.c, added recently.

Expose API that allows to emit type declaration and field/variable definition
(if optional field name is specified) in valid C syntax for any provided BTF
type. This is going to be used by bpftool when emitting data section layout as
a struct. As part of making this API useful in a stand-alone fashion, move
initialization of some of the internal btf_dump state to earlier phase.

For kernel logging macros, pr_warning() is completely removed and
replaced by pr_warn(). By using pr_warn() in tools/lib/bpf/ for
symmetry to kernel logging macros, we could eventually drop the
