Andrii Nakryiko 12d9466d8b libbpf: Refactor internal sec_def handling to enable pluggability
Refactor internals of libbpf to allow adding custom SEC() handling logic
easily from outside of libbpf. To that effect, each SEC()-handling
registration sets mandatory program type/expected attach type for
a given prefix and can provide three callbacks called at different
points of BPF program lifetime:

  - init callback for right after bpf_program is initialized and
  prog_type/expected_attach_type is set. This happens during
  bpf_object__open() step, close to the very end of constructing
  bpf_object, so all the libbpf APIs for querying and updating
  bpf_program properties should be available;

  - pre-load callback is called right before BPF_PROG_LOAD command is
  called in the kernel. This callbacks has ability to set both
  bpf_program properties, as well as program load attributes, overriding
  and augmenting the standard libbpf handling of them;

  - optional auto-attach callback, which makes a given SEC() handler
  support auto-attachment of a BPF program through bpf_program__attach()
  API and/or BPF skeletons <skel>__attach() method.

Each callbacks gets a `long cookie` parameter passed in, which is
specified during SEC() handling. This can be used by callbacks to lookup
whatever additional information is necessary.

This is not yet completely ready to be exposed to the outside world,
mainly due to non-public nature of struct bpf_prog_load_params. Instead
of making it part of public API, we'll wait until the planned low-level
libbpf API improvements for BPF_PROG_LOAD and other typical bpf()
syscall APIs, at which point we'll have a public, probably OPTS-based,
way to fully specify BPF program load parameters, which will be used as
an interface for custom pre-load callbacks.

But this change itself is already a good first step to unify the BPF
program hanling logic even within the libbpf itself. As one example, all
the extra per-program type handling (sleepable bit, attach_btf_id
resolution, unsetting optional expected attach type) is now more obvious
and is gathered in one place.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
