9fdc4273b8 libbpf: Fix up verifier log for unguarded failed CO-RE relos
Teach libbpf to post-process BPF verifier log on BPF program load
failure and detect known error patterns to provide user with more
context.

Currently there is one such common situation: an "unguarded" failed BPF
CO-RE relocation. While failing CO-RE relocation is expected, it is
expected to be property guarded in BPF code such that BPF verifier
always eliminates BPF instructions corresponding to such failed CO-RE
relos as dead code. In cases when user failed to take such precautions,
BPF verifier provides the best log it can:

  123: (85) call unknown#195896080
  invalid func unknown#195896080

Such incomprehensible log error is due to libbpf "poisoning" BPF
instruction that corresponds to failed CO-RE relocation by replacing it
with invalid `call 0xbad2310` instruction (195896080 == 0xbad2310 reads
"bad relo" if you squint hard enough).

Luckily, libbpf has all the necessary information to look up CO-RE
relocation that failed and provide more human-readable description of
what's going on:

  5: <invalid CO-RE relocation>
  failed to resolve CO-RE relocation <byte_off> [6] struct task_struct___bad.fake_field_subprog (0:2 @ offset 8)

This hopefully makes it much easier to understand what's wrong with
user's BPF program without googling magic constants.

This BPF verifier log fixup is setup to be extensible and is going to be
used for at least one other upcoming feature of libbpf in follow up patches.
Libbpf is parsing lines of BPF verifier log starting from the very end.
Currently it processes up to 10 lines of code looking for familiar
patterns. This avoids wasting lots of CPU processing huge verifier logs
(especially for log_level=2 verbosity level). Actual verification error
should normally be found in last few lines, so this should work
reliably.

If libbpf needs to expand log beyond available log_buf_size, it
truncates the end of the verifier log. Given verifier log normally ends
with something like:

  processed 2 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0

... truncating this on program load error isn't too bad (end user can
always increase log size, if it needs to get complete log).

adb8fa195e libbpf: Split bpf_core_apply_relo()
BTFGen needs to run the core relocation logic in order to understand
what are the types involved in a given relocation.

Currently bpf_core_apply_relo() calculates and **applies** a relocation
to an instruction. Having both operations in the same function makes it
difficult to only calculate the relocation without patching the
instruction. This commit splits that logic in two different phases: (1)
calculate the relocation and (2) patch the instruction.

For the first phase bpf_core_apply_relo() is renamed to
bpf_core_calc_relo_insn() who is now only on charge of calculating the
relocation, the second phase uses the already existing
bpf_core_patch_insn(). bpf_object__relocate_core() uses both of them and
the BTFGen will use only bpf_core_calc_relo_insn().

fbd94c7afc bpf: Pass a set of bpf_core_relo-s to prog_load command.
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".

46334a0cd2 bpf: Define enum bpf_core_relo_kind as uapi.
enum bpf_core_relo_kind is generated by llvm and processed by libbpf.
It's a de-facto uapi.
With CO-RE in the kernel the bpf_core_relo_kind values become uapi de-jure.
Also rename them with BPF_CORE_ prefix to distinguish from conflicting names in
bpf_core_read.h. The enums bpf_field_info_kind, bpf_type_id_kind,
bpf_type_info_kind, bpf_enum_value_kind are passing different values from bpf
program into llvm.
