8d13406c02 tools: libbpf: move library error code into a separate file
libbpf_strerror() depends on XSI-compliant (POSIX) version of
strerror_r(), which prevents us from using GNU-extensions in
libbpf.c, like reallocarray() or dup3().  Move error printing
code into a separate file to allow it to continue using POSIX
strerror_r().

No functional changes.

8a138aed4a bpf: btf: Add BTF support to libbpf
If the ".BTF" elf section exists, libbpf will try to create
a btf_fd (through BPF_BTF_LOAD).  If that fails, it will still
continue loading the bpf prog/map without the BTF.

If the bpf_object has a BTF loaded, it will create a map with the btf_fd.
libbpf will try to figure out the btf_key_id and btf_value_id of a map by
finding the BTF type with name "<map_name>_key" and "<map_name>_value".
If they cannot be found, it will continue without using the BTF.

bbf48c18ee libbpf: add error reporting in XDP
Parse netlink ext attribute to get the error message returned by
the card. Code is partially take from libnl.

We add netlink.h to the uapi include of tools. And we need to
avoid include of userspace netlink header to have a successful
build of sample so nlattr.h has a define to avoid
the inclusion. Using a direct define could have been an issue
as NLMSGERR_ATTR_MAX can change in the future.

We also define SOL_NETLINK if not defined to avoid to have to
copy socket.h for a fixed value.

e3ed2fef22 bpf tools: Add bpf.c/h for common bpf operations
This patch introduces bpf.c and bpf.h, which hold common functions
issuing bpf syscall. The goal of these two files is to hide syscall
completely from user. Note that bpf.c and bpf.h deal with kernel
interface only. Things like structure of 'map' section in the ELF object
is not cared by of bpf.[ch].

We first introduce bpf_create_map().

Note that, since functions in bpf.[ch] are wrapper of sys_bpf, they
don't use OO style naming.

1b76c13e4b bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check
This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.

Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.

Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.

To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.
