[PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/4] libbpf: auto-resize relocatable LOAD/STORE instructions

[Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>]

Patch set implements logic in libbpf to auto-adjust memory size (1-, 2-, 4-,
8-bytes) of load/store (LD/ST/STX) instructions which have BPF CO-RE field
offset relocation associated with it. In practice this means transparent
handling of 32-bit kernels, both pointer and unsigned integers. Signed
integers are not relocatable with zero-extending loads/stores, so libbpf
poisons them and generates a warning. If/when BPF gets support for
sign-extending loads/stores, it would be possible to automatically relocate
them as well.

All the details are contained in patch #2 comments and commit message.
Patch #3 is a simple change in libbpf to make advanced testing with custom BTF
easier. Patch #4 validates correct uses of auto-resizable loads, as well as
check that libbpf fails invalid uses. Patch #1 skips CO-RE relocation for
programs that had bpf_program__set_autoload(prog, false) set on them, reducing
warnings and noise.

v1->v2:
  - more consistent names for instruction mem size convertion routines (Alexei);
  - extended selftests to use relocatable STX instructions (Alexei);
  - added a fix for skipping CO-RE relocation for non-loadable programs.

Andrii Nakryiko (4):
  libbpf: skip CO-RE relocations for not loaded BPF programs
  libbpf: support safe subset of load/store instruction resizing with
    CO-RE
  libbpf: allow specifying both ELF and raw BTF for CO-RE BTF override
  selftests/bpf: validate libbpf's auto-sizing of LD/ST/STX instructions
