b66ccae01f bpf: Add libbpf logic for user-space ring buffer
Now that all of the logic is in place in the kernel to support user-space
produced ring buffers, we can add the user-space logic to libbpf. This
patch therefore adds the following public symbols to libbpf:

struct user_ring_buffer *
user_ring_buffer__new(int map_fd,
		      const struct user_ring_buffer_opts *opts);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, __u32 size);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
                                         __u32 size, int timeout_ms);
void user_ring_buffer__submit(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, void *sample);
void user_ring_buffer__discard(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
void user_ring_buffer__free(struct user_ring_buffer *rb);

A user-space producer must first create a struct user_ring_buffer * object
with user_ring_buffer__new(), and can then reserve samples in the
ring buffer using one of the following two symbols:

void *user_ring_buffer__reserve(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, __u32 size);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
                                         __u32 size, int timeout_ms);

With user_ring_buffer__reserve(), a pointer to a 'size' region of the ring
buffer will be returned if sufficient space is available in the buffer.
user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking() provides similar semantics, but will
block for up to 'timeout_ms' in epoll_wait if there is insufficient space
in the buffer. This function has the guarantee from the kernel that it will
receive at least one event-notification per invocation to
bpf_ringbuf_drain(), provided that at least one sample is drained, and the
BPF program did not pass the BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP flag to bpf_ringbuf_drain().

Once a sample is reserved, it must either be committed to the ring buffer
with user_ring_buffer__submit(), or discarded with
user_ring_buffer__discard().

e2371b1632 libbpf: start 1.0 development cycle
Start libbpf 1.0 development cycle by adding LIBBPF_1.0.0 section to
libbpf.map file and marking all current symbols as local. As we remove
all the deprecated APIs we'll populate global list before the final 1.0
release.

697f104db8 libbpf: Support custom SEC() handlers
Allow registering and unregistering custom handlers for BPF program.
This allows user applications and libraries to plug into libbpf's
declarative SEC() definition handling logic. This allows to offload
complex and intricate custom logic into external libraries, but still
provide a great user experience.

One such example is USDT handling library, which has a lot of code and
complexity which doesn't make sense to put into libbpf directly, but it
would be really great for users to be able to specify BPF programs with
something like SEC("usdt/<path-to-binary>:<usdt_provider>:<usdt_name>")
and have correct BPF program type set (BPF_PROGRAM_TYPE_KPROBE, as it is
uprobe) and even support BPF skeleton's auto-attach logic.

In some cases, it might be even good idea to override libbpf's default
handling, like for SEC("perf_event") programs. With custom library, it's
possible to extend logic to support specifying perf event specification
right there in SEC() definition without burdening libbpf with lots of
custom logic or extra library dependecies (e.g., libpfm4). With current
patch it's possible to override libbpf's SEC("perf_event") handling and
specify a completely custom ones.

Further, it's possible to specify a generic fallback handling for any
SEC() that doesn't match any other custom or standard libbpf handlers.
This allows to accommodate whatever legacy use cases there might be, if
necessary.

See doc comments for libbpf_register_prog_handler() and
libbpf_unregister_prog_handler() for detailed semantics.

This patch also bumps libbpf development version to v0.8 and adds new
APIs there.

dbdd2c7f8c libbpf: Add API to get/set log_level at per-program level
Add bpf_program__set_log_level() and bpf_program__log_level() to fetch
and adjust log_level sent during BPF_PROG_LOAD command. This allows to
selectively request more or less verbose output in BPF verifier log.

Also bump libbpf version to 0.7 and make these APIs the first in v0.7.

2f38304127 libbpf: Make libbpf_version.h non-auto-generated
Turn previously auto-generated libbpf_version.h header into a normal
header file. This prevents various tricky Makefile integration issues,
simplifies the overall build process, but also allows to further extend
it with some more versioning-related APIs in the future.

To prevent accidental out-of-sync versions as defined by libbpf.map and
libbpf_version.h, Makefile checks their consistency at build time.

Simultaneously with this change bump libbpf.map to v0.6.

Also undo adding libbpf's output directory into include path for
kernel/bpf/preload, bpftool, and resolve_btfids, which is not necessary
because libbpf_version.h is just a normal header like any other.
