    tools: bpftool: add probes for eBPF helper functions · 2d3ea5e8
    Quentin Monnet authored
    Similarly to what was done for program types and map types, add a set of
    probes to test the availability of the different eBPF helper functions
    on the current system.
    
    For each known program type, all known helpers are tested, in order to
    establish a compatibility matrix. Output is provided as a set of lists
    of available helpers, one per program type.
    
    Sample output:
    
        # bpftool feature probe kernel
        ...
        Scanning eBPF helper functions...
        eBPF helpers supported for program type socket_filter:
                - bpf_map_lookup_elem
                - bpf_map_update_elem
                - bpf_map_delete_elem
        ...
        eBPF helpers supported for program type kprobe:
                - bpf_map_lookup_elem
                - bpf_map_update_elem
                - bpf_map_delete_elem
        ...
    
        # bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel
        {
            ...
            "helpers": {
                "socket_filter_available_helpers": ["bpf_map_lookup_elem", \
                        "bpf_map_update_elem","bpf_map_delete_elem", ...
                ],
                "kprobe_available_helpers": ["bpf_map_lookup_elem", \
                        "bpf_map_update_elem","bpf_map_delete_elem", ...
                ],
                ...
            }
        }
    
    v5:
    - In libbpf.map, move global symbol to the new LIBBPF_0.0.2 section.
    
    v4:
    - Use "enum bpf_func_id" instead of "__u32" in bpf_probe_helper()
      declaration for the type of the argument used to pass the id of
      the helper to probe.
    - Undef BPF_HELPER_MAKE_ENTRY after using it.
    
    v3:
    - Do not pass kernel version from bpftool to libbpf probes (kernel
      version for testing program with kprobes is retrieved directly from
      libbpf).
    - Dump one list of available helpers per program type (instead of one
      list of compatible program types per helper).
    
    v2:
    - Move probes from bpftool to libbpf.
    - Test all program types for each helper, print a list of working prog
      types for each helper.
    - Fall back on include/uapi/linux/bpf.h for names and ids of helpers.
    - Remove C-style macros output from this patch.
