[ Upstream commit db089c9158c1d535a36dfc010e5db37fccea2561 ]

Libbpf pre-1.0 had a legacy logic of allowing singular non-annotated
(i.e., not having explicit SEC() annotation) function to be treated as
sole entry BPF program (unless there were other explicit entry
programs).

This behavior was dropped during libbpf 1.0 transition period (unless
LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME flag was unset in libbpf_mode). When 1.0 was
released and all the legacy behavior was removed, the bug slipped
through leaving this legacy behavior around.

Fix this for good, as it actually causes very confusing behavior if BPF
object file only has subprograms, but no entry programs.

<title>libbpf: fix sym_is_subprog() logic for weak global subprogs</title>

[ Upstream commit 4073213488be542f563eb4b2457ab4cbcfc2b738 ]

sym_is_subprog() is incorrectly rejecting relocations against *weak*
global subprogs. Fix that by realizing that STB_WEAK is also a global
function.

While it seems like verifier doesn't support taking an address of
non-static subprog right now, it's still best to fix support for it on
libbpf side, otherwise users will get a very confusing error during BPF
skeleton generation or static linking due to misinterpreted relocation:

  libbpf: prog 'handle_tp': bad map relo against 'foo' in section '.text'
  Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed

It's clearly not a map relocation, but is treated and reported as such
without this fix.

[ Upstream commit f896b4a5399e97af0b451fcf04754ed316935674 ]

Object linking output data uses the default ELF_T_BYTE type for '.symtab'
section data, which disables any libelf-based translation. Explicitly set
the ELF_T_SYM type for output to restore libelf's byte-order conversion,
noting that input '.symtab' data is already correctly translated.

<title>libsubcmd: Don't free the usage string</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1a5efc9e13f357abc396dbf445b25d08914c8060 ]

Currently, commands which depend on 'parse_options_subcommand()' don't
show the usage string, and instead show '(null)'

    $ ./perf sched
	Usage: (null)

    -D, --dump-raw-trace  dump raw trace in ASCII
    -f, --force           don't complain, do it
    -i, --input &lt;file&gt;    input file name
    -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show symbol address, etc)

'parse_options_subcommand()' is generally expected to initialise the usage
string, with information in the passed 'subcommands[]' array

This behaviour was changed in:

  230a7a71f92212e7 ("libsubcmd: Fix parse-options memory leak")

Where the generated usage string is deallocated, and usage[0] string is
reassigned as NULL.

As discussed in [1], free the allocated usage string in the main
function itself, and don't reset usage string to NULL in
parse_options_subcommand

With this change, the behaviour is restored.

    $ ./perf sched
        Usage: perf sched [&lt;options&gt;] {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist}

[ Upstream commit 1a5efc9e13f357abc396dbf445b25d08914c8060 ]

Currently, commands which depend on 'parse_options_subcommand()' don't
show the usage string, and instead show '(null)'

    $ ./perf sched
	Usage: (null)

    -D, --dump-raw-trace  dump raw trace in ASCII
    -f, --force           don't complain, do it
    -i, --input &lt;file&gt;    input file name
    -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show symbol address, etc)

'parse_options_subcommand()' is generally expected to initialise the usage
string, with information in the passed 'subcommands[]' array

This behaviour was changed in:

  230a7a71f92212e7 ("libsubcmd: Fix parse-options memory leak")

Where the generated usage string is deallocated, and usage[0] string is
reassigned as NULL.

As discussed in [1], free the allocated usage string in the main
function itself, and don't reset usage string to NULL in
parse_options_subcommand

With this change, the behaviour is restored.

    $ ./perf sched
        Usage: perf sched [&lt;options&gt;] {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist}

           -D, --dump-raw-trace  dump raw trace in ASCII
           -f, --force           don't complain, do it
           -i, --input &lt;file&gt;    input file name
           -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show symbol address, etc)

<title>libbpf: Add NULL checks to bpf_object__{prev_map,next_map}</title>

[ Upstream commit cedc12c5b57f7efa6dbebfb2b140e8675f5a2616 ]

In the current state, an erroneous call to
bpf_object__find_map_by_name(NULL, ...) leads to a segmentation
fault through the following call chain:

  bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj = NULL, ...)
  -&gt; bpf_object__for_each_map(pos, obj = NULL)
  -&gt; bpf_object__next_map((obj = NULL), NULL)
  -&gt; return (obj = NULL)-&gt;maps

While calling bpf_object__find_map_by_name with obj = NULL is
obviously incorrect, this should not lead to a segmentation
fault but rather be handled gracefully.

As __bpf_map__iter already handles this situation correctly, we
can delegate the check for the regular case there and only add
a check in case the prev or next parameter is NULL.
