<content type='text'>
Remove invalid assumption in libbpf that .bss map doesn't have to be updated
in kernel. With addition of skeleton and memory-mapped initialization image,
.bss doesn't have to be all zeroes when BPF map is created, because user-code
might have initialized those variables from user-space.

This new API, perf_buffer__consume, can be used as follows:

- When you have a perf ring where wakeup_events is higher than 1,
  and you have remaining data in the rings you would like to pull
  out on exit (or maybe based on a timeout).

- For low latency cases where you burn a CPU that constantly polls
  the queues.

if this was due to not having enough lock space. This patch fixes this by

<title>bpf, libbpf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array</title>

<id>385bbf7b119a4feb6d6bcf3586f1bb1dd9c5b0a0</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<content type='text'>
Two new libbpf APIs are added to support bpf_iter:
  - bpf_program__attach_iter
    Given a bpf program and additional parameters, which is
    none now, returns a bpf_link.
  - bpf_iter_create
    syscall level API to create a bpf iterator.

The macro BPF_SEQ_PRINTF are also introduced. The format
looks like:
  BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "task id %d\n", pid);

This macro can help bpf program writers with
nicer bpf_seq_printf syntax similar to the kernel one.
