    selftests/bpf: Add urandom_read shared lib and USDTs · 00a0fa2d
    Andrii Nakryiko authored
    Extend urandom_read helper binary to include USDTs of 4 combinations:
    semaphore/semaphoreless (refcounted and non-refcounted) and based in
    executable or shared library. We also extend urandom_read with ability
    to report it's own PID to parent process and wait for parent process to
    ready itself up for tracing urandom_read. We utilize popen() and
    underlying pipe properties for proper signaling.
    
    Once urandom_read is ready, we add few tests to validate that libbpf's
    USDT attachment handles all the above combinations of semaphore (or lack
    of it) and static or shared library USDTs. Also, we validate that libbpf
    handles shared libraries both with PID filter and without one (i.e., -1
    for PID argument).
    
    Having the shared library case tested with and without PID is important
    because internal logic differs on kernels that don't support BPF
    cookies. On such older kernels, attaching to USDTs in shared libraries
    without specifying concrete PID doesn't work in principle, because it's
    impossible to determine shared library's load address to derive absolute
    IPs for uprobe attachments. Without absolute IPs, it's impossible to
    perform correct look up of USDT spec based on uprobe's absolute IP (the
    only kind available from BPF at runtime). This is not the problem on
    newer kernels with BPF cookie as we don't need IP-to-ID lookup because
    BPF cookie value *is* spec ID.
    
    So having those two situations as separate subtests is good because
    libbpf CI is able to test latest selftests against old kernels (e.g.,
    4.9 and 5.5), so we'll be able to disable PID-less shared lib attachment
    for old kernels, but will still leave PID-specific one enabled to validate
    this legacy logic is working correctly.
