clang build kernel failed the selftest probe_user.

The test attached to kernel function __sys_connect(). In net/socket.c, we have
  int __sys_connect(int fd, struct sockaddr __user *uservaddr, int addrlen)
  {
        ......
  }
  ...
  SYSCALL_DEFINE3(connect, int, fd, struct sockaddr __user *, uservaddr,
                  int, addrlen)
  {
        return __sys_connect(fd, uservaddr, addrlen);
  }

The gcc compiler (8.5.0) does not inline __sys_connect() in syscall entry
function. But latest clang trunk did the inlining. So the bpf program
is not triggered.

To make the test more reliable, let us kprobe the syscall entry function
instead. Note that x86_64, arm64 and s390 have syscall wrappers and they have
to be handled specially.

Most places using BPF_CAST_CALL actually just want a void * to perform

can clean up a common copy/paste idiom as well.

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================

Implement opt-in stricter BPF program section name (SEC()) handling logic. For
a lot of supported ELF section names, enforce exact section name match with no
arbitrary characters added at the end. See patch #9 for more details.

To allow this, patches #2 through #4 clean up and preventively fix selftests,
normalizing existing SEC() usage across multiple selftests. While at it, those
patches also reduce the amount of remaining bpf_object__find_program_by_title()
uses, which should be completely removed soon, given it's an API with
ambiguous semantics and will be deprecated and eventually removed in libbpf 1.0.

Patch #1 also introduces SEC("tc") as an alias for SEC("classifier"). "tc" is
a better and less misleading name, so patch #3 replaces all classifier* uses
with nice and short SEC("tc").

Last patch is also fixing "sk_lookup/" definition to not require and not allow
extra "/blah" parts after it, which serve no meaning.

All the other patches are gradual internal libbpf changes to:
  - allow this optional strict logic for ELF section name handling;
  - allow new use case (for now for "struct_ops", but that could be extended
    to, say, freplace definitions), in which it can be used stand-alone to
    specify just type (SEC("struct_ops")), or also accept extra parameters
    which can be utilized by libbpf to either get more data or double-check
    valid use (e.g., SEC("struct_ops/dctcp_init") to specify desired
    struct_ops operation that is supposed to be implemented);
  - get libbpf's internal logic ready to allow other libraries and
    applications to specify their custom handlers for ELF section name for BPF
    programs. All the pieces are in place, the only thing preventing making
    this as public libbpf API is reliance on internal type for specifying BPF
    program load attributes. The work is planned to revamp related low-level
    libbpf APIs, at which point it will be possible to just re-use such new
    types for coordination between libbpf and custom handlers.

These changes are a part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]). They are also intended to
be applied on top of the previous preparatory series [1], so currently CI will
be failing to apply them to bpf-next until that patch set is landed. Once it
is landed, kernel-patches daemon will automatically retest this patch set.

Update "sk_lookup/" definition to be a stand-alone type specifier,
with backwards-compatible prefix match logic in non-libbpf-1.0 mode.

Currently in selftests all the "sk_lookup/<whatever>" uses just use
<whatever> for duplicated unique name encoding, which is redundant as
BPF program's name (C function name) uniquely and descriptively
identifies the intended use for such BPF programs.

With libbpf's SEC_DEF("sk_lookup") definition updated, switch existing
sk_lookup programs to use "unqualified" SEC("sk_lookup") section names,

Implement strict ELF section name handling for BPF programs. It utilizes
`libbpf_set_strict_mode()` framework and adds new flag: LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME.

If this flag is set, libbpf will enforce exact section name matching for
a lot of program types that previously allowed just partial prefix
match. E.g., if previously SEC("xdp_whatever_i_want") was allowed, now
in strict mode only SEC("xdp") will be accepted, which makes SEC("")
definitions cleaner and more structured. SEC() now won't be used as yet
another way to uniquely encode BPF program identifier (for that
C function name is better and is guaranteed to be unique within
bpf_object). Now SEC() is strictly BPF program type and, depending on
program type, extra load/attach parameter specification.

Libbpf completely supports multiple BPF programs in the same ELF
section, so multiple BPF programs of the same type/specification easily
co-exist together within the same bpf_object scope.

Additionally, a new (for now internal) convention is introduced: section
name that can be a stand-alone exact BPF program type specificator, but
also could have extra parameters after '/' delimiter. An example of such
section is "struct_ops", which can be specified by itself, but also
allows to specify the intended operation to be attached to, e.g.,
"struct_ops/dctcp_init". Note, that "struct_ops_some_op" is not allowed.
Such section definition is specified as "struct_ops+".

This change is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0], [1]).

Refactor ELF section handler definitions table to use a set of flags and
unified SEC_DEF() macro. This allows for more succinct and table-like
set of definitions, and allows to more easily extend the logic without
adding more verbosity (this is utilized in later patches in the series).

This approach is also making libbpf-internal program pre-load callback
not rely on bpf_sec_def definition, which demonstrates that future
pluggable ELF section handlers will be able to achieve similar level of
integration without libbpf having to expose extra types and APIs.

For starters, update SEC_DEF() definitions and make them more succinct.
Also convert BPF_PROG_SEC() and BPF_APROG_COMPAT() definitions to
a common SEC_DEF() use.

Move closer to not relying on bpf_sec_def internals that won't be part
of public API, when pluggable SEC() handlers will be allowed. Drop
pre-calculated prefix length, and in various helpers don't rely on this
prefix length availability. Also minimize reliance on knowing
bpf_sec_def's prefix for few places where section prefix shortcuts are
supported (e.g., tp vs tracepoint, raw_tp vs raw_tracepoint).

Given checking some string for having a given string-constant prefix is
such a common operation and so annoying to be done with pure C code, add
a small macro helper, str_has_pfx(), and reuse it throughout libbpf.c
where prefix comparison is performed. With __builtin_constant_p() it's
possible to have a convenient helper that checks some string for having
a given prefix, where prefix is either string literal (or compile-time
known string due to compiler optimization) or just a runtime string
pointer, which is quite convenient and saves a lot of typing and string
literal duplication.

Refactor internals of libbpf to allow adding custom SEC() handling logic
easily from outside of libbpf. To that effect, each SEC()-handling
registration sets mandatory program type/expected attach type for
a given prefix and can provide three callbacks called at different
points of BPF program lifetime:

  - init callback for right after bpf_program is initialized and
  prog_type/expected_attach_type is set. This happens during
  bpf_object__open() step, close to the very end of constructing
  bpf_object, so all the libbpf APIs for querying and updating
  bpf_program properties should be available;

  - pre-load callback is called right before BPF_PROG_LOAD command is
  called in the kernel. This callbacks has ability to set both
  bpf_program properties, as well as program load attributes, overriding
  and augmenting the standard libbpf handling of them;

  - optional auto-attach callback, which makes a given SEC() handler
  support auto-attachment of a BPF program through bpf_program__attach()
  API and/or BPF skeletons <skel>__attach() method.

Each callbacks gets a `long cookie` parameter passed in, which is
specified during SEC() handling. This can be used by callbacks to lookup
whatever additional information is necessary.

This is not yet completely ready to be exposed to the outside world,
mainly due to non-public nature of struct bpf_prog_load_params. Instead
of making it part of public API, we'll wait until the planned low-level
libbpf API improvements for BPF_PROG_LOAD and other typical bpf()
syscall APIs, at which point we'll have a public, probably OPTS-based,
way to fully specify BPF program load parameters, which will be used as
an interface for custom pre-load callbacks.

But this change itself is already a good first step to unify the BPF
program hanling logic even within the libbpf itself. As one example, all
the extra per-program type handling (sleepable bit, attach_btf_id
resolution, unsetting optional expected attach type) is now more obvious
and is gathered in one place.

When parsing legacy map definitions, libbpf would error out when
encountering an STT_SECTION symbol. This becomes a problem because some
versions of binutils will produce SECTION symbols for every section when
processing an ELF file, so BPF files run through 'strip' will end up with
such symbols, making libbpf refuse to load them.

There's not really any reason why erroring out is strictly necessary, so
change libbpf to just ignore SECTION symbols when parsing the ELF.

                           struct xdp_buff **xdp,
                           u32 max);

When using this interface, the driver should also use the new
interface below to set the relevant fields in the struct xdp_buff. The
reason for this is that xsk_buff_alloc_batch() does not fill in the
data and data_meta fields for you as is the case with
xsk_buff_alloc(). So it is not sufficient to just set data_end
(effectively the size) anymore in the driver. The reason for this is
performance as explained in detail in the commit message.

  void xsk_buff_set_size(struct xdp_buff *xdp, u32 size);

Patch 6 also optimizes the buffer allocation in the aligned case. In
this case, we can skip the reinitialization of most fields in the
xdp_buff_xsk struct at allocation time. As the number of elements in
the heads array is equal to the number of possible buffers in the
umem, we can initialize them once and for all at bind time and then
just point to the correct one in the xdp_buff_array that is returned
to the driver. No reason to have a stack of free head entries. In the
unaligned case, the buffers can reside anywhere in the umem, so this
optimization is not possible as we still have to fill in the right
information in the xdp_buff every single time one is allocated.

I have updated i40e and ice to use this new batched interface.

These are the throughput results on my 2.1 GHz Cascade Lake system:

Aligned mode:
ice: +11% / -9 cycles/pkt
i40e: +12% / -9 cycles/pkt

Unaligned mode:
ice: +1.5% / -1 cycle/pkt
i40e: +1% / -1 cycle/pkt

For the aligned case, batching provides around 40% of the performance
improvement and the aligned optimization the rest, around 60%. Would
have expected a ~4% boost for unaligned with this data, but I only get
around 1%. Do not know why. Note that memory consumption in aligned
mode is also reduced by this patch set.

Add a test for the frame_headroom feature that can be set on the
umem. The logic added validates that all offsets in all tests and
packets are valid, not just the ones that have a specifically
configured frame_headroom.

Change the interleaving of packets in unaligned mode. With the current
buffer addresses in the packet stream, the last buffer in the umem
could not be used as a large packet could potentially write over the
end of the umem. The kernel correctly threw this buffer address away
and refused to use it. This is perfectly fine for all regular packet
streams, but the ones used for unaligned mode have every other packet
being at some different offset. As we will add checks for correct
offsets in the next patch, this needs to be fixed. Just start these
page-boundary straddling buffers one page earlier so that the last
one is not on the last page of the umem, making all buffers valid.

Add a test where a single packet is sent and received. This might
sound like a silly test, but since many of the interfaces in xsk are
batched, it is important to be able to validate that we did not break
something as fundamental as just receiving single packets, instead of
batches of packets at high speed.

Introduce pacing of traffic so that the Tx thread can never send more
packets than the receiver has processed plus the number of packets it
can have in its umem. So at any point in time, the number of in flight
packets (not processed by the Rx thread) are less than or equal to the
number of packets that can be held in the Rx thread's umem.

The batch size is also increased to improve running time.

The socket creation retry unnecessarily registered the umem once for
every retry. No reason to do this. It wastes memory and it might lead
to too many pages being locked at some point and the failure of a
test.

Fix a problem where the fill ring was populated with too many
entries. If number of buffers in the umem was smaller than the fill
ring size, the code used to loop over from the beginning of the umem
and start putting the same buffers in again. This is racy indeed as a
later packet can be received overwriting an earlier one before the Rx
thread manages to validate it.

Optimize for the aligned case by precomputing the parameter values of
the xdp_buff_xsk and xdp_buff structures in the heads array. We can do
this as the heads array size is equal to the number of chunks in the
umem for the aligned case. Then every entry in this array will reflect
a certain chunk/frame and can therefore be prepopulated with the
correct values and we can drop the use of the free_heads stack. Note
that it is not possible to allocate more buffers than what has been
allocated in the aligned case since each chunk can only contain a
single buffer.

We can unfortunately not do this in the unaligned case as one chunk
might contain multiple buffers. In this case, we keep the old scheme
of populating a heads entry every time it is used and using
the free_heads stack.

Also move xp_release() and xp_get_handle() to xsk_buff_pool.h. They
were for some reason in xsk.c even though they are buffer pool
operations.
