Currently bpf_helper_defs.h is auto-generated using function documentation
present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the helper is missing
or doesn't follow a specific format for e.g. if a function is documented
as:
* long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name( const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res )
instead of
* long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name(const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res)
(notice the extra space at the start and end of function arguments)
then that helper is not dumped in the auto-generated header and results in
an invalid call during eBPF runtime, even if all the code specific to the
helper is correct.
This patch checks the number of functions documented within the header file
with those present as part of #define __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and generates a
warning in the header file if they don't match. It is not needed with the
currently documented upstream functions, but can help in debugging
when developing new helpers when there might be missing or misformatted
documentation.
