v2 -> v3: - Rename functions and variables in verifier for better readability. - Stick to logging message convention in libbpf. - Move bpf_per_cpu_ptr and bpf_this_cpu_ptr from trace-specific helper set to base helper set. - More specific test in ksyms_btf. - Fix return type cast in bpf_*_cpu_ptr. - Fix btf leak in ksyms_btf selftest. - Fix return error code for kallsyms_find().
v1 -> v2: - Move check_pseudo_btf_id from check_ld_imm() to replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr() and rename the latter. - Add bpf_this_cpu_ptr(). - Use bpf_core_types_are_compat() in libbpf.c for checking type compatibility. - Rewrite typed ksym extern type in BTF with int to save space. - Minor revision of bpf_per_cpu_ptr()'s comments. - Avoid using long in tests that use skeleton. - Refactored test_ksyms.c by moving kallsyms_find() to trace_helpers.c - Fold the patches that sync include/linux/uapi and tools/include/linux/uapi. rfc -> v1: - Encode VAR's btf_id for PSEUDO_BTF_ID. - More checks in verifier. Checking the btf_id passed as PSEUDO_BTF_ID is valid VAR, its name and type. - Checks in libbpf on type compatibility of ksyms. - Add bpf_per_cpu_ptr() to access kernel percpu vars. Introduced new ARG and RET types for this helper. This patch series extends the previously added __ksym externs with btf support. Right now the __ksym externs are treated as pure 64-bit scalar value. Libbpf replaces ld_imm64 insn of __ksym by its kernel address at load time. This patch series extend those externs with their btf info. Note that btf support for __ksym must come with the kernel btf that has VARs encoded to work properly. The corresponding chagnes in pahole is available at [1] (with a fix at [2] for gcc 4.9+). The first 3 patches in this series add support for general kernel global variables, which include verifier checking (01/06), libpf support (02/06) and selftests for getting typed ksym extern's kernel address (03/06). The next 3 patches extends that capability further by introducing helpers bpf_per_cpu_ptr() and bpf_this_cpu_ptr(), which allows accessing kernel percpu variables correctly (04/06 and 05/06). The tests of this feature were performed against pahole that is extended with [1] and [2]. For kernel BTF that does not have VARs encoded, the selftests will be skipped.
