libbpf: detect supported kernel BTF features and sanitize BTF
Depending on used versions of libbpf, Clang, and kernel, it's possible to have valid BPF object files with valid BTF information, that still won't load successfully due to Clang emitting newer BTF features (e.g., BTF_KIND_FUNC, .BTF.ext's line_info/func_info, BTF_KIND_DATASEC, etc), that are not yet supported by older kernel. This patch adds detection of BTF features and sanitizes BPF object's BTF by substituting various supported BTF kinds, which have compatible layout: - BTF_KIND_FUNC -> BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF - BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO -> BTF_KIND_ENUM - BTF_KIND_VAR -> BTF_KIND_INT - BTF_KIND_DATASEC -> BTF_KIND_STRUCT Replacement is done in such a way as to preserve as much information as possible (names, sizes, etc) where possible without violating kernel's validation rules. v2->v3: - remove duplicate #defines from libbpf_util.h v1->v2: - add internal libbpf_internal.h w/ common stuff - switch SK storage BTF to use new libbpf__probe_raw_btf() Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
