Subject: [PATCHv4 bpf-next 2/2] perf tools: Rework prologue generation code

From: Jiri Olsa <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2022 22:45:09 +0200

Some functions we use for bpf prologue generation are going to be
deprecated. This change reworks current code not to use them.

We need to replace following functions/struct:
   bpf_program__set_prep
   bpf_program__nth_fd
   struct bpf_prog_prep_result

Currently we use bpf_program__set_prep to hook perf callback before
program is loaded and provide new instructions with the prologue.

We replace this function/ality by taking instructions for specific
program, attaching prologue to them and load such new ebpf programs
with prologue using separate bpf_prog_load calls (outside libbpf
load machinery).

Before we can take and use program instructions, we need libbpf to
actually load it. This way we get the final shape of its instructions
with all relocations and verifier adjustments).

There's one glitch though.. perf kprobe program already assumes
generated prologue code with proper values in argument registers,
so loading such program directly will fail in the verifier.

That's where the fallback pre-load handler fits in and prepends
the initialization code to the program. Once such program is loaded
we take its instructions, cut off the initialization code and prepend
the prologue.

I know.. sorry ;-)
