bpf: BTF support for ksyms #1

ksym so that further dereferences on the ksym can use the BTF info to validate accesses. Internally, when seeing a pseudo_btf_id ld insn, the verifier reads the btf_id stored in the insn[0]'s imm field and marks the dst_reg as PTR_TO_BTF_ID. The btf_id points to a VAR_KIND, which is encoded in btf_vminux by pahole. If the VAR is not of a struct type, the dst reg will be marked as PTR_TO_MEM instead of PTR_TO_BTF_ID and the mem_size is resolved to the size of the VAR's type. From the VAR btf_id, the verifier can also read the address of the ksym's corresponding kernel var from kallsyms and use that to fill dst_reg. Therefore, the proper functionality of pseudo_btf_id depends on (1) kallsyms and (2) the encoding of kernel global VARs in pahole, which should be available since pahole v1.18.

information from kernel btf. If a valid btf entry for the ksym is found, libbpf can pass in the found btf id to the verifier, which validates the ksym's type and value. Typeless ksyms (i.e. those defined as 'void') will not have such btf_id, but it has the symbol's address (read from kallsyms) and its value is treated as a raw pointer.

the other is a plain int. This tests two paths in the kernel. Struct ksyms will be converted into PTR_TO_BTF_ID by the verifier while int typed ksyms will be converted into PTR_TO_MEM.

bpf_per_cpu_ptr() has the same semantic as per_cpu_ptr() in the kernel except that it may return NULL. This happens when the cpu parameter is out of range. So the caller must check the returned value.

helper always returns a valid pointer, therefore no need to check returned value for NULL. Also note that all programs run with preemption disabled, which means that the returned pointer is stable during all the execution of the program.

kernel. If the base pointer points to a struct, the returned reg is of type PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Direct pointer dereference can be applied on the returned variable. If the base pointer isn't a struct, the returned reg is of type PTR_TO_MEM, which also supports direct pointer dereference.
