[bpf-next,0/7] Add kernel modules support for tracing BPF program attachments

Message

Building on top of two previous patch sets ([0] and not yet landed [1]), this
patch sets extends kernel and libbpf with support for attaching BTF-powered
raw tracepoint (tp_btf) and tracing (fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm) BPF programs
to BPF hooks defined in kernel modules.

Kernel UAPI for BPF_PROG_LOAD is extended with extra parameter
(attach_btf_obj_id) which allows to specify kernel module BTF in which the BTF
type is identifed by attach_btf_id.

From end user perspective there are no extra actions that need to happen.
Libbpf will continue searching across all kernel module BTFs, if desired
attach BTF type is not found in vmlinux. That way it doesn't matter if BPF
hook that user is trying to attach to is built-in into vmlinux image or is
loaded in kernel module.

Currently pahole doesn't generate BTF_KIND_FUNC info for ftrace-able static
functions in kernel modules, so expose traced function in bpf_sidecar.ko. Once
pahole is enhanced, we can go back to static function.

Andrii Nakryiko (7):
  bpf: remove hard-coded btf_vmlinux assumption from BPF verifier
  bpf: allow to specify kernel module BTFs when attaching BPF programs
  libbpf: factor out low-level BPF program loading helper
  libbpf: support attachment of BPF tracing programs to kernel modules
  selftests/bpf: add tp_btf CO-RE reloc test for modules
  selftests/bpf: make BPF sidecar traceable function global
  selftests/bpf: add fentry/fexit/fmod_ret selftest for kernel module
