Add SEC("ksyscall")/SEC("ksyscall/<syscall_name>") and corresponding kretsyscall variants (for return kprobes) to allow users to kprobe syscall functions in kernel. These special sections allow to ignore complexities and differences between kernel versions and host architectures when it comes to syscall wrapper and corresponding __<arch>_sys_<syscall> vs __se_sys_<syscall> differences, depending on whether host kernel has CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER (though libbpf itself doesn't rely on /proc/config.gz for detecting this, see BPF_KSYSCALL patch for how it's done internally). Combined with the use of BPF_KSYSCALL() macro, this allows to just specify intended syscall name and expected input arguments and leave dealing with all the variations to libbpf. In addition to SEC("ksyscall+") and SEC("kretsyscall+") add bpf_program__attach_ksyscall() API which allows to specify syscall name at runtime and provide associated BPF cookie value. At the moment SEC("ksyscall") and bpf_program__attach_ksyscall() do not handle all the calling convention quirks for mmap(), clone() and compat syscalls. It also only attaches to "native" syscall interfaces. If host system supports compat syscalls or defines 32-bit syscalls in 64-bit kernel, such syscall interfaces won't be attached to by libbpf. These limitations may or may not change in the future. Therefore it is recommended to use SEC("kprobe") for these syscalls or if working with compat and 32-bit interfaces is required.
