c8caa0bb4b tools, bpftool: Minor fixes for documentation
Bring minor improvements to bpftool documentation. Fix or harmonise
formatting, update map types (including in interactive help), improve
description for "map create", fix a build warning due to a missing line
after the double-colon for the "bpftool prog profile" example,
complete/harmonise/sort the list of related bpftool man pages in
footers.

v2:
- Remove (instead of changing) mark-up on "value" in bpftool-map.rst,
  when it does not refer to something passed on the command line.
- Fix an additional typo ("hexadeximal") in the same file.

775bc8ada8 tools: bpftool: add -d option to get debug output from libbpf
libbpf has three levels of priority for output messages: warn, info,
debug. By default, debug output is not printed to the console.

Add a new "--debug" (short name: "-d") option to bpftool to print libbpf
logs for all three levels.

Internally, we simply use the function provided by libbpf to replace the
default printing function by one that prints logs regardless of their
level.

v2:
- Remove the possibility to select the log-levels to use (v1 offered a
  combination of "warn", "info" and "debug").
- Rename option and offer a short name: -d|--debug.
- Add option description to all bpftool manual pages (instead of
  bpftool-prog.rst only), as all commands use libbpf.

88b3eed805 tools: bpftool: fix short option name for printing version in man pages
Manual pages would tell that option "-v" (lower case) would print the
version number for bpftool. This is wrong: the short name of the option
is "-V" (upper case). Fix the documentation accordingly.

49eb7ab3b2 tools: bpftool: add basic probe capability, probe syscall availability
Add a new component and command for bpftool, in order to probe the
system to dump a set of eBPF-related parameters so that users can know
what features are available on the system.

Parameters are dumped in plain or JSON output (with -j/-p options).

The current patch introduces probing of one simple parameter:
availability of the bpf() system call. Later commits
will add other probes.

Sample output:

    # bpftool feature probe kernel
    Scanning system call availability...
    bpf() syscall is available

    # bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel
    {
        "syscall_config": {
            "have_bpf_syscall": true
        }
    }

The optional "kernel" keyword enforces probing of the current system,
which is the only possible behaviour at this stage. It can be safely
omitted.

The feature comes with the relevant man page, but bash completion will
come in a dedicated commit.

v3:
- Do not probe kernel version. Contrarily to what is written below for
  v2, we can have the kernel version retrieved in libbpf instead of
  bpftool (in the patch adding probing for program types).

v2:
- Remove C-style macros output from this patch.
- Even though kernel version is no longer needed for testing kprobes
  availability, note that we still collect it in this patch so that
  bpftool gets able to probe (in next patches) older kernels as well.

f98e46a251 tools: bpftool: update references to other man pages in documentation
Update references to other bpftool man pages at the bottom of each
manual page. Also reference the "bpf(2)" and "bpf-helpers(7)" man pages.

References are sorted by number of man section, then by
"prog-and-map-go-first", the other pages in alphabetical order.

b04df400c3 tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand
The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse
all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated
with a perf event, it will print out related perf event
information. Documentation is also added.

Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands.
Running the following 4 bcc commands:
  kprobe:     trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  kretprobe:  trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep'
  uprobe:     trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main'

The bpftool command line and result:

  $ bpftool perf
  pid 21711  fd 5: prog_id 5  kprobe  func __x64_sys_write  offset 0
  pid 21765  fd 5: prog_id 7  kretprobe  func __x64_sys_nanosleep  offset 0
  pid 21767  fd 5: prog_id 8  tracepoint  sys_enter_nanosleep
  pid 21800  fd 5: prog_id 9  uprobe  filename /home/yhs/a.out  offset 1159
