2015-08-07bpf tools: Open eBPF object file and do basic validationWang Nan
This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic validation according to e_type and e_machine. All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of 'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it. After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory. The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Allow caller to set printing functionWang Nan
By libbpf_set_print(), users of libbpf are allowed to register he/she own debug, info and warning printing functions. Libbpf will use those functions to print messages. If not provided, default info and warning printing functions are fprintf(stderr, ...); default debug printing is NULL. This API is designed to be used by perf, enables it to register its own logging functions to make all logs uniform, instead of separated logging level control.

2015-08-07bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature checkWang Nan
This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates 'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories. Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent. Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found, the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure 'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found. Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr' (bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature, which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel. To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced 'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added into libbpf's specific.
