Two new btf kinds, BTF_KIND_FUNC and BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO,
have been added in kernel since
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1000176/
to support better func introspection.
Currently, for a DW_TAG_subroutine_type dwarf type,
a simple "void *" is generated instead of real subroutine type.
This patch teaches pahole to generate BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO
properly. After this patch, pahole should have complete
type coverage for C frontend with types a bpf program cares.
For example,
$ cat t1.c
typedef int __int32;
struct t1 {
int a1;
int (*f1)(char p1, __int32 p2);
} g1;
$ cat t2.c
typedef int __int32;
struct t2 {
int a2;
int (*f2)(char q1, __int32 q2, ...);
int (*f3)();
} g2;
int main() { return 0; }
$ gcc -O2 -o t1 -g t1.c t2.c
$ pahole -JV t1
File t1:
[1] TYPEDEF __int32 type_id=2
[2] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
[3] STRUCT t1 kind_flag=0 size=16 vlen=2
a1 type_id=2 bits_offset=0
f1 type_id=6 bits_offset=64
[4] FUNC_PROTO (anon) return=2 args=(5 (anon), 1 (anon))
[5] INT char size=1 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=8 encoding=(none)
[6] PTR (anon) type_id=4
[7] TYPEDEF __int32 type_id=8
[8] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
[9] STRUCT t2 kind_flag=0 size=24 vlen=3
a2 type_id=8 bits_offset=0
f2 type_id=12 bits_offset=64
f3 type_id=14 bits_offset=128
[10] FUNC_PROTO (anon) return=8 args=(11 (anon), 7 (anon), vararg)
[11] INT char size=1 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=8 encoding=(none)
[12] PTR (anon) type_id=10
[13] FUNC_PROTO (anon) return=8 args=(vararg)
[14] PTR (anon) type_id=13
$
In the above example, type [4], [10] and [13] represent the
func_proto types.
BTF_KIND_FUNC, which represents a real subprogram, is not generated in
this patch and will be considered later.

This patch fixed two issues with BTF. One is related to struct/union
bitfield encoding and the other is related to forward type.
Issue #1 and solution:
======================
Current btf encoding of bitfield follows what pahole generates.
For each bitfield, pahole will duplicate the type chain and
put the bitfield size at the final int or enum type.
Since the BTF enum type cannot encode bit size,
commit b18354f64c ("btf: Generate correct struct bitfield
member types") workarounds the issue by generating
an int type whenever the enum bit size is not 32.
The above workaround is not ideal as we lost original type
in BTF. Another undesiable fact is the type duplication
as the pahole duplicates the type chain.
To fix this issue, this patch implemented a compatible
change for BTF struct type encoding:
. the bit 31 of type->info, previously reserved,
now is used to indicate whether bitfield_size is
encoded in btf_member or not.
. if bit 31 of struct_type->info is set,
btf_member->offset will encode like:
bit 0 - 23: bit offset
bit 24 - 31: bitfield size
if bit 31 is not set, the old behavior is preserved:
bit 0 - 31: bit offset
So if the struct contains a bit field, the maximum bit offset
will be reduced to (2^24 - 1) instead of MAX_UINT. The maximum
bitfield size will be 255 which is enough for today as maximum
bitfield in compiler can be 128 where int128 type is supported.
A new global, no_bitfield_type_recode, is introduced and which
will be set to true if BTF encoding is enabled. This global
will prevent pahole duplicating the bitfield types to avoid
type duplication in BTF.
Issue #2 and solution:
======================
Current forward type in BTF does not specify whether the original
type is struct or union. This will not work for type pretty print
and BTF-to-header-file conversion as struct/union must be specified.
To fix this issue, similar to issue #1, type->info bit 31
is used. If the bit is set, it is union type. Otherwise, it is
a struct type.
Examples:
=========
-bash-4.4$ cat t.c
struct s;
union u;
typedef int ___int;
enum A { A1, A2, A3 };
struct t {
int a[5];
___int b:4;
volatile enum A c:4;
struct s *p1;
union u *p2;
} g;
-bash-4.4$ gcc -c -O2 -g t.c
Without this patch:

[10] FWD u type_id=0
[11] PTR (anon) type_id=10
[12] INT int size=1 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=4 encoding=(none)
[13] TYPEDEF ___int type_id=12
[14] INT (anon) size=1 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=4 encoding=SIGNED
[15] VOLATILE (anon) type_id=14
With this patch:
$ pahole -JV t.o
File t.o:
[1] TYPEDEF ___int type_id=2
[2] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
[3] ENUM A size=4 vlen=3

[4] STRUCT t kind_flag=1 size=40 vlen=5

c type_id=7 bitfield_size=4 bits_offset=164
p1 type_id=9 bitfield_size=0 bits_offset=192

[5] ARRAY (anon) type_id=2 index_type_id=2 nr_elems=5

[7] VOLATILE (anon) type_id=3
[8] FWD s struct
[9] PTR (anon) type_id=8
[10] FWD u union
[11] PTR (anon) type_id=10
The fix removed the type duplication, preserved the enum type for the
bitfield, and have correct struct/union information for the forward
type.

This patch introduces BPF Type Format (BTF).
BTF (BPF Type Format) is the meta data format which describes
the data types of BPF program/map. Hence, it basically focus
on the C programming language which the modern BPF is primary
using. The first use case is to provide a generic pretty print
capability for a BPF map.
