Martin KaFai Lau f0187f0b17 bpf: libbpf: Refactor and bug fix on the bpf_func_info loading logic
This patch refactor and fix a bug in the libbpf's bpf_func_info loading
logic.  The bug fix and refactoring are targeting the same
commit 2993e0515b ("tools/bpf: add support to read .BTF.ext sections")
which is in the bpf-next branch.

1) In bpf_load_program_xattr(), it should retry when errno == E2BIG
   regardless of log_buf and log_buf_sz.  This patch fixes it.

2) btf_ext__reloc_init() and btf_ext__reloc() are essentially
   the same except btf_ext__reloc_init() always has insns_cnt == 0.
   Hence, btf_ext__reloc_init() is removed.

   btf_ext__reloc() is also renamed to btf_ext__reloc_func_info()
   to get ready for the line_info support in the next patch.

3) Consolidate func_info section logic from "btf_ext_parse_hdr()",
   "btf_ext_validate_func_info()" and "btf_ext__new()" to
   a new function "btf_ext_copy_func_info()" such that similar
   logic can be reused by the later libbpf's line_info patch.

4) The next line_info patch will store line_info_cnt instead of
   line_info_len in the bpf_program because the kernel is taking
   line_info_cnt also.  It will save a few "len" to "cnt" conversions
   and will also save some function args.

   Hence, this patch also makes bpf_program to store func_info_cnt
   instead of func_info_len.

5) btf_ext depends on btf.  e.g. the func_info's type_id
   in ".BTF.ext" is not useful when ".BTF" is absent.
   This patch only init the obj->btf_ext pointer after
   it has successfully init the obj->btf pointer.

   This can avoid always checking "obj->btf && obj->btf_ext"
   together for accessing ".BTF.ext".  Checking "obj->btf_ext"
   alone will do.

6) Move "struct btf_sec_func_info" from btf.h to btf.c.
   There is no external usage outside btf.c.

README

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.
