Commit Message

Andrii Nakryiko Sept. 7, 2021, 11:44 p.m. UTC 
From: Quentin Monnet <quentin@isovalent.com>

Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.

As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
(LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.

Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids and bpftool) are updated to include libbpf's
output directory as part of a list of include search paths. Better fix would
be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API headers, but that
clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build changes were tested by
building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified explicitly), bpftool,
libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No problems were detected.

Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
for now).

Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).
