<content type='text'>
Remove deprecated xsk APIs from libbpf. But given we have selftests
relying on this, move those files (with minimal adjustments to make them
compilable) under selftests/bpf.

We also remove all the removed APIs from libbpf.map, while overall
keeping version inheritance chain, as most APIs are backwards
compatible so there is no need to reassign them as LIBBPF_1.0.0 versions.

<content type='text'>
Deprecate AF_XDP support in libbpf ([0]). This has been moved to
libxdp as it is a better fit for that library. The AF_XDP support only
uses the public libbpf functions and can therefore just use libbpf as
a library from libxdp. The libxdp APIs are exactly the same so it
should just be linking with libxdp instead of libbpf for the AF_XDP
functionality. If not, please submit a bug report. Linking with both
libraries is supported but make sure you link in the correct order so
that the new functions in libxdp are used instead of the deprecated
ones in libbpf.

Libxdp can be found at https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tools.

The only user of libbpf_util.h is xsk.h. Move the barriers to xsk.h,
and remove libbpf_util.h. The barriers are used as an implementation
detail, and should not be considered part of the stable API.

Now that the AF_XDP rings have load-acquire/store-release semantics,
move libbpf to that as well.

The library-internal libbpf_smp_{load_acquire,store_release} are only
valid for 32-bit words on ARM64.

Also, remove the barriers that are no longer in use.

<id>urn:sha1:e459f49b4394e2630ea55d5ac7a49402686848fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for separation of eBPF program load and xsk socket
creation.

This is needed for use-case when you want to privide as little
privileges as possible to the data plane application that will
handle xsk socket creation and incoming traffic.

With this patch the data entity container can be run with only
CAP_NET_RAW capability to fulfill its purpose of creating xsk
socket and handling packages. In case your umem is larger or
equal process limit for MEMLOCK you need either increase the
limit or CAP_IPC_LOCK capability.

To resolve privileges issue two APIs are introduced:

- xsk_setup_xdp_prog - loads the built in XDP program. It can
also return xsks_map_fd which is needed by unprivileged process
to update xsks_map with AF_XDP socket "fd"

- xsk_socket__update_xskmap - inserts an AF_XDP socket into an xskmap
for a particular xsk_socket

<title>libbpf: Replace size_t with __u32 in xsk interfaces</title>

<id>urn:sha1:105c4e75feb411a60f5089f7a1e68b8523f986cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace size_t with __u32 in the xsk interfaces that contain this.
There is no reason to have size_t since the internal variable that
is manipulated is a __u32. The following APIs are affected:

__u32 xsk_ring_prod__reserve(struct xsk_ring_prod *prod, __u32 nb, __u32 *idx)
void xsk_ring_prod__submit(struct xsk_ring_prod *prod, __u32 nb)
__u32 xsk_ring_cons__peek(struct xsk_ring_cons *cons, __u32 nb, __u32 *idx)
void xsk_ring_cons__cancel(struct xsk_ring_cons *cons, __u32 nb)
void xsk_ring_cons__release(struct xsk_ring_cons *cons, __u32 nb)

The "nb" variable and the return values have been changed from size_t
to __u32.

<id>urn:sha1:db13db9f67fe5049159a05e870daedcee5879f8d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new function for returning descriptors the user received
after an xsk_ring_cons__peek call. After the application has
gotten a number of descriptors from a ring, it might not be able
to or want to process them all for various reasons. Therefore,
it would be useful to have an interface for returning or
cancelling a number of them so that they are returned to the ring.

This patch adds a new function called xsk_ring_cons__cancel that
performs this operation on nb descriptors counted from the end of
the batch of descriptors that was received through the peek call.

<title>libbpf: Support shared umems between queues and devices</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2f6324a3937f8517967d94daef2ba0bdceceece1</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for shared umems between hardware queues and devices to
the AF_XDP part of libbpf. This so that zero-copy can be achieved in
applications that want to send and receive packets between HW queues
on one device or between different devices/netdevs.

In order to create sockets that share a umem between hardware queues
and devices, a new function has been added called
xsk_socket__create_shared(). It takes the same arguments as
xsk_socket_create() plus references to a fill ring and a completion
ring. So for every socket that share a umem, you need to have one more
set of fill and completion rings. This in order to maintain the
single-producer single-consumer semantics of the rings.

You can create all the sockets via the new xsk_socket__create_shared()
call, or create the first one with xsk_socket__create() and the rest
with xsk_socket__create_shared(). Both methods work.

<title>libbpf: add flags to umem config</title>

<id>urn:sha1:10d30e301732636d93d7dcd2e0e6cd34d0454509</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a 'flags' field to the umem_config and umem_reg structs.
This will allow for more options to be added for configuring umems.

The first use for the flags field is to add a flag for unaligned chunks
mode. These flags can either be user-provided or filled with a default.

Since we change the size of the xsk_umem_config struct, we need to version
the ABI. This patch includes the ABI versioning for xsk_umem__create. The
Makefile was also updated to handle multiple function versions in
check-abi.

This commit adds support for the new need_wakeup flag in AF_XDP. The
xsk_socket__create function is updated to handle this and a new
function is introduced called xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(). This
function can be used by the application to check if Rx and/or Tx
processing needs to be explicitly woken up.
