Adding support for usdt_manager_attach_usdt to use uprobe_multi
link to attach to usdt probes.
The uprobe_multi support is detected before the usdt program is
loaded and its expected_attach_type is set accordingly.
If uprobe_multi support is detected the usdt_manager_attach_usdt
gathers uprobes info and calls bpf_program__attach_uprobe to
create all needed uprobes.
If uprobe_multi support is not detected the old behaviour stays.
Also adding usdt.s program section for sleepable usdt probes.

realloc() and reallocarray() can either return NULL or a special
non-NULL pointer, if their size argument is zero. This requires a bit
more care to handle NULL-as-valid-result situation differently from
NULL-as-error case. This has caused real issues before ([0]), and just
recently bit again in production when performing bpf_program__attach_usdt().
This patch fixes 4 places that do or potentially could suffer from this
mishandling of NULL, including the reported USDT-related one.
There are many other places where realloc()/reallocarray() is used and
NULL is always treated as an error value, but all those have guarantees
that their size is always non-zero, so those spot don't need any extra
handling.

Parsing of USDT arguments is architecture-specific; on arm it is
relatively easy since registers used are r[0-10], fp, ip, sp, lr,
pc. Format is slightly different compared to aarch64; forms are
- "size @ [ reg, #offset ]" for dereferences, for example
"-8 @ [ sp, #76 ]" ; " -4 @ [ sp ]"
- "size @ reg" for register values; for example
"-4@r0"
- "size @ #value" for raw values; for example
"-8@#1"
Add support for parsing USDT arguments for ARM architecture.
To test the above changes QEMU's virt[1] board with cortex-a15
CPU was used. libbpf-bootstrap's usdt example[2] was modified to attach
to a test program with DTRACE_PROBE1/2/3/4... probes to test different
combinations.

Parse USDT arguments like "8@(%rsp)" on x86. These are emmited by
SystemTap. The argument syntax is similar to the existing "memory
dereference case" but the offset left out as it's zero (i.e. read
the value from the address in the register). We treat it the same
as the the "memory dereference case", but set the offset to 0.
I've tested that this fixes the "unrecognized arg #N spec: 8@(%rsp).."
error I've run into when attaching to a probe with such an argument.
Attaching and reading the correct argument values works.
Something similar might be needed for the other supported
architectures.

An update for libbpf's hashmap interface from void* -> void* to a
polymorphic one, allowing both long and void* keys and values.
This simplifies many use cases in libbpf as hashmaps there are mostly
integer to integer.
Perf copies hashmap implementation from libbpf and has to be
updated as well.
Changes to libbpf, selftests/bpf and perf are packed as a single
commit to avoid compilation issues with any future bisect.
Polymorphic interface is acheived by hiding hashmap interface
functions behind auxiliary macros that take care of necessary
type casts, for example:
#define hashmap_cast_ptr(p) \
({ \
_Static_assert((p) == NULL || sizeof(*(p)) == sizeof(long),\
#p " pointee should be a long-sized integer or a pointer"); \
(long *)(p); \
})
bool hashmap_find(const struct hashmap *map, long key, long *value);
#define hashmap__find(map, key, value) \
hashmap_find((map), (long)(key), hashmap_cast_ptr(value))
- hashmap__find macro casts key and value parameters to long
and long* respectively
- hashmap_cast_ptr ensures that value pointer points to a memory
of appropriate size.
This hack was suggested by Andrii Nakryiko in [1].
This is a follow up for [2].

When running rootless with special capabilities like:
FOWNER / DAC_OVERRIDE / DAC_READ_SEARCH
The "access" API will not make the proper check if there is really
access to a file or not.
>From the access man page:
"
The check is done using the calling process's real UID and GID, rather
than the effective IDs as is done when actually attempting an operation
(e.g., open(2)) on the file. Similarly, for the root user, the check
uses the set of permitted capabilities rather than the set of effective
capabilities; ***and for non-root users, the check uses an empty set of
capabilities.***
"
What that means is that for non-root user the access API will not do the
proper validation if the process really has permission to a file or not.
To resolve this this patch replaces all the access API calls with
faccessat with AT_EACCESS flag.

Perform the same virtual address to file offset translation that libbpf
is doing for executable ELF binaries also for shared libraries.
Currently libbpf is making a simplifying and sometimes wrong assumption
that for shared libraries relative virtual addresses inside ELF are
always equal to file offsets.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case with LLVM's lld linker, which
now by default generates quite more complicated ELF segments layout.
E.g., for liburandom_read.so from selftests/bpf, here's an excerpt from
readelf output listing ELF segments (a.k.a. program headers):
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
PHDR 0x000040 0x0000000000000040 0x0000000000000040 0x0001f8 0x0001f8 R 0x8

LOAD 0x000750 0x0000000000002750 0x0000000000002750 0x000210 0x000210 RW 0x1000
LOAD 0x000960 0x0000000000003960 0x0000000000003960 0x000028 0x000029 RW 0x1000
Compare that to what is generated by GNU ld (or LLVM lld's with extra
-znoseparate-code argument which disables this cleverness in the name of
file size reduction):
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
LOAD 0x000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000550 0x000550 R 0x1000
LOAD 0x001000 0x0000000000001000 0x0000000000001000 0x000131 0x000131 R E 0x1000
LOAD 0x002000 0x0000000000002000 0x0000000000002000 0x0000ac 0x0000ac R 0x1000
LOAD 0x002dc0 0x0000000000003dc0 0x0000000000003dc0 0x000262 0x000268 RW 0x1000
You can see from the first example above that for executable (Flg == "R E")
PT_LOAD segment (LOAD #2), Offset doesn't match VirtAddr columns.
And it does in the second case (GNU ld output).
This is important because all the addresses, including USDT specs,
operate in a virtual address space, while kernel is expecting file
offsets when performing uprobe attach. So such mismatches have to be
properly taken care of and compensated by libbpf, which is what this
patch is fixing.
Also patch clarifies few function and variable names, as well as updates
comments to reflect this important distinction (virtaddr vs file offset)
and to ephasize that shared libraries are not all that different from
executables in this regard.
This patch also changes selftests/bpf Makefile to force urand_read and
liburand_read.so to be built with Clang and LLVM's lld (and explicitly
request this ELF file size optimization through -znoseparate-code linker
parameter) to validate libbpf logic and ensure regressions don't happen
in the future. I've bundled these selftests changes together with libbpf
changes to keep the above description tied with both libbpf and
selftests changes.

The logic is superficially similar to that of x86, but the small
differences (no need for register table and dynamic allocation of
register names, no $ sign before constants) make maintaining a common
implementation too burdensome. Therefore simply add a s390x-specific

Note that while bcc supports index registers, this patch does not. This

architecture will require their own logic, as all this is arch-specific
assembly-based notation. Architectures that libbpf doesn't support for
USDTs will pr_warn() with specific error and return -ENOTSUP.
We use sscanf() as a very powerful and easy to use string parser. Those
spaces in sscanf's format string mean "skip any whitespaces", which is
pretty nifty (and somewhat little known) feature.
All this was tested on little-endian architecture, so bit shifts are

Last part of architecture-agnostic user-space USDT handling logic is to
set up BPF spec and, optionally, IP-to-ID maps from user-space.
usdt_manager performs a compact spec ID allocation to utilize
fixed-sized BPF maps as efficiently as possible. We also use hashmap to
deduplicate USDT arg spec strings and map identical strings to single
USDT spec, minimizing the necessary BPF map size. usdt_manager supports
arbitrary sequences of attachment and detachment, both of the same USDT
and multiple different USDTs and internally maintains a free list of
unused spec IDs. bpf_link_usdt's logic is extended with proper setup and
teardown of this spec ID free list and supporting BPF maps.

Implement architecture-agnostic parts of USDT parsing logic. The code is
the documentation in this case, it's futile to try to succinctly
describe how USDT parsing is done in any sort of concreteness. But
still, USDTs are recorded in special ELF notes section (.note.stapsdt),
where each USDT call site is described separately. Along with USDT
provider and USDT name, each such note contains USDT argument
specification, which uses assembly-like syntax to describe how to fetch
value of USDT argument. USDT arg spec could be just a constant, or
a register, or a register dereference (most common cases in x86_64), but
it technically can be much more complicated cases, like offset relative
to global symbol and stuff like that. One of the later patches will
implement most common subset of this for x86 and x86-64 architectures,
which seems to handle a lot of real-world production application.
USDT arg spec contains a compact encoding allowing usdt.bpf.h from
previous patch to handle the above 3 cases. Instead of recording which
register might be needed, we encode register's offset within struct
pt_regs to simplify BPF-side implementation. USDT argument can be of
different byte sizes (1, 2, 4, and 8) and signed or unsigned. To handle
this, libbpf pre-calculates necessary bit shifts to do proper casting
and sign-extension in a short sequences of left and right shifts.
The rest is in the code with sometimes extensive comments and references
to external "documentation" for USDTs.

Wire up libbpf USDT support APIs without yet implementing all the
nitty-gritty details of USDT discovery, spec parsing, and BPF map
initialization.
User-visible user-space API is simple and is conceptually very similar
to uprobe API.
bpf_program__attach_usdt() API allows to programmatically attach given
BPF program to a USDT, specified through binary path (executable or
shared lib), USDT provider and name. Also, just like in uprobe case, PID
filter is specified (0 - self, -1 - any process, or specific PID).
Optionally, USDT cookie value can be specified. Such single API
invocation will try to discover given USDT in specified binary and will
use (potentially many) BPF uprobes to attach this program in correct
locations.
Just like any bpf_program__attach_xxx() APIs, bpf_link is returned that
represents this attachment. It is a virtual BPF link that doesn't have
direct kernel object, as it can consist of multiple underlying BPF
uprobe links. As such, attachment is not atomic operation and there can
be brief moment when some USDT call sites are attached while others are
still in the process of attaching. This should be taken into
consideration by user. But bpf_program__attach_usdt() guarantees that
in the case of success all USDT call sites are successfully attached, or
all the successfuly attachments will be detached as soon as some USDT
call sites failed to be attached. So, in theory, there could be cases of
failed bpf_program__attach_usdt() call which did trigger few USDT
program invocations. This is unavoidable due to multi-uprobe nature of
USDT and has to be handled by user, if it's important to create an
illusion of atomicity.
USDT BPF programs themselves are marked in BPF source code as either
SEC("usdt"), in which case they won't be auto-attached through
skeleton's <skel>__attach() method, or it can have a full definition,
which follows the spirit of fully-specified uprobes:
SEC("usdt/<path>:<provider>:<name>"). In the latter case skeleton's
attach method will attempt auto-attachment. Similarly, generic
bpf_program__attach() will have enought information to go off of for
parameterless attachment.
USDT BPF programs are actually uprobes, and as such for kernel they are
marked as BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE.
Another part of this patch is USDT-related feature probing:
- BPF cookie support detection from user-space;
- detection of kernel support for auto-refcounting of USDT semaphore.
The latter is optional. If kernel doesn't support such feature and USDT
doesn't rely on USDT semaphores, no error is returned. But if libbpf
detects that USDT requires setting semaphores and kernel doesn't support
this, libbpf errors out with explicit pr_warn() message. Libbpf doesn't
support poking process's memory directly to increment semaphore value,
like BCC does on legacy kernels, due to inherent raciness and danger of
such process memory manipulation. Libbpf let's kernel take care of this
properly or gives up.
Logistically, all the extra USDT-related infrastructure of libbpf is put
into a separate usdt.c file and abstracted behind struct usdt_manager.
Each bpf_object has lazily-initialized usdt_manager pointer, which is
only instantiated if USDT programs are attempted to be attached. Closing
BPF object frees up usdt_manager resources. usdt_manager keeps track of
USDT spec ID assignment and few other small things.
Subsequent patches will fill out remaining missing pieces of USDT
initialization and setup logic.
