[PATCH v5 bpf-next 02/10] lib/buildid: add single folio-based file reader abstraction

Andrii Nakryiko
2024-08-13T00:29:46Z

Add freader abstraction that transparently manages fetching and local
mapping of the underlying file page(s) and provides a simple direct data
access interface.

freader_fetch() is the only and single interface necessary. It accepts
file offset and desired number of bytes that should be accessed, and
will return a kernel mapped pointer that caller can use to dereference
data up to requested size. Requested size can't be bigger than the size
of the extra buffer provided during initialization (because, worst case,
all requested data has to be copied into it, so it's better to flag
wrongly sized buffer unconditionally, regardless if requested data range
is crossing page boundaries or not).

If folio is not paged in, or some of the conditions are not satisfied,
NULL is returned and more detailed error code can be accessed through
freader->err field. This approach makes the usage of freader_fetch()
cleaner.

To accommodate accessing file data that crosses folio boundaries, user
has to provide an extra buffer that will be used to make a local copy,
if necessary. This is done to maintain a simple linear pointer data
access interface.

We switch existing build ID parsing logic to it, without changing or
lifting any of the existing constraints, yet. This will be done
separately.

Given existing code was written with the assumption that it's always
working with a single (first) page of the underlying ELF file, logic
passes direct pointers around, which doesn't really work well with
freader approach and would be limiting when removing the single page (folio)
limitation. So we adjust all the logic to work in terms of file offsets.

There is also a memory buffer-based version (freader_init_from_mem())
for cases when desired data is already available in kernel memory. This
is used for parsing vmlinux's own build ID note. In this mode assumption
is that provided data starts at "file offset" zero, which works great
when parsing ELF notes sections, as all the parsing logic is relative to
note section's start.
