category: feature
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5EUVD
CVE: NA

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8fd27bf69b864b1c2a6e64cf5673603f3959a6ef

-------------------------------------------------

Add .BTF and .BTF.ext static linking logic.

When multiple BPF object files are linked together, their respective .BTF and
.BTF.ext sections are merged together. BTF types are not just concatenated,
but also deduplicated. .BTF.ext data is grouped by type (func info, line info,
core_relos) and target section names, and then all the records are
concatenated together, preserving their relative order. All the BTF type ID
references and string offsets are updated as necessary, to take into account
possibly deduplicated strings and types.

BTF DATASEC types are handled specially. Their respective var_secinfos are
accumulated separately in special per-section data and then final DATASEC
types are emitted at the very end during bpf_linker__finalize() operation,
just before emitting final ELF output file.

BTF data can also provide "section annotations" for some extern variables.
Such concept is missing in ELF, but BTF will have DATASEC types for such
special extern datasections (e.g., .kconfig, .ksyms). Such sections are called
"ephemeral" internally. Internally linker will keep metadata for each such
section, collecting variables information, but those sections won't be emitted
into the final ELF file.

Also, given LLVM/Clang during compilation emits BTF DATASECS that are
incomplete, missing section size and variable offsets for static variables,
BPF static linker will initially fix up such DATASECs, using ELF symbols data.
The final DATASECs will preserve section sizes and all variable offsets. This
is handled correctly by libbpf already, so won't cause any new issues. On the
other hand, it's actually a nice property to have a complete BTF data without
runtime adjustments done during bpf_object__open() by libbpf. In that sense,
BPF static linker is also a BTF normalizer.
