This series is a major rework of previously submitted libbpf
patches [0] in order to add global data support for BPF. The
kernel has been extended to add proper infrastructure that allows
for full .bss/.data/.rodata sections on BPF loader side based
upon feedback from LPC discussions [1]. Latter support is then
also added into libbpf in this series which allows for more
natural C-like programming of BPF programs. For more information
on loader, please refer to 'bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/
rodata sections' patch in this series.
Thanks a lot!
v5 -> v6:
- Removed synchronize_rcu() from map freeze (Jann)
- Rest as-is
v4 -> v5:
- Removed index selection again for ldimm64 (Alexei)
- Adapted related test cases and added new ones to test
rejection of off != 0
v3 -> v4:
- Various fixes in BTF verification e.g. to disallow
Var and DataSec to be an intermediate type during resolve (Martin)
- More BTF test cases added
- Few cleanups in key-less BTF commit (Martin)
- Bump libbpf minor version from 2 to 3
- Renamed and simplified read-only locking
- Various minor improvements all over the place
v2 -> v3:
- Implement BTF support in kernel, libbpf, bpftool, add tests
- Fix idx + off conversion (Andrii)
- Document lower / higher bits for direct value access (Andrii)
- Add tests with small value size (Andrii)
- Add index selection into ldimm64 (Andrii)
- Fix missing fdput() (Jann)
- Reject invalid flags in BPF_F_*_PROG (Jakub)
- Complete rework of libbpf support, includes:
- Add objname to map name (Stanislav)
- Make .rodata map full read-only after setup (Andrii)
- Merge relocation handling into single one (Andrii)
- Store global maps into obj->maps array (Andrii, Alexei)
- Debug message when skipping section (Andrii)
- Reject non-static global data till we have
semantics for sharing them (Yonghong, Andrii, Alexei)
- More test cases and completely reworked prog test (Alexei)
- Fixes, cleanups, etc all over the set
- Not yet addressed:
- Make BTF mandatory for these maps (Alexei)
-> Waiting till BTF support for these lands first
v1 -> v2:
- Instead of 32-bit static data, implement full global
data support (Alexei)
