Andrii Nakryiko 0d0d05de08 libbpf: Refactor relocation handling
Relocation handling code is convoluted and unnecessarily deeply nested. Split
out per-relocation logic into separate function. Also refactor the logic to be
more a sequence of per-relocation type checks and processing steps, making it
simpler to follow control flow. This makes it easier to further extends it to
new kinds of relocations (e.g., support for extern variables).

This patch also makes relocation's section verification more robust.
Previously relocations against not yet supported externs were silently ignored
because of obj->efile.text_shndx was zero, when all BPF programs had custom
section names and there was no .text section. Also, invalid LDIMM64 relocations
against non-map sections were passed through, if they were pointing to a .text
section (or 0, which is invalid section). All these bugs are fixed within this
refactoring and checks are made more appropriate for each type of relocation.

This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree's tools/lib/bpf directory plus its supporting header files.

The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo:

  • src/ <-> bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/
  • include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h
  • include/uapi/linux/bpf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
  • include/uapi/linux/btf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.h
  • include/uapi/linux/if_link.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h

  • include/tools/libc_compat.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h

Other header files at this repo (include/linux/*.h) are reduced versions of their counterpart files at bpf-next's tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation successful.

Build Build Status Total alerts Coverity

libelf is an internal dependency of libbpf and thus it is required to link against and must be installed on the system for applications to work. pkg-config is used by default to find libelf, and the program called can be overridden with PKG_CONFIG. If using pkg-config at build time is not desired, it can be disabled by setting NO_PKG_CONFIG=1 when calling make.

To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so:

$ cd src
$ make

To build only static libbpf.a library in directory build/ and install them together with libbpf headers in a staging directory root/:

$ cd src
$ mkdir build root
$ BUILD_STATIC_ONLY=y OBJDIR=build DESTDIR=root make install

To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so against a custom libelf dependency installed in /build/root/ and install them together with libbpf headers in a build directory /build/root/:

$ cd src
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build/root/lib64/pkgconfig DESTDIR=/build/root make install
