libbpf: Fix alen calculation in libbpf_nla_dump_errormsg()

The code assumes that everything that comes after nlmsgerr are nlattrs.
When calculating their size, it does not account for the initial
nlmsghdr. This may lead to accessing uninitialized memory.

Netlink helpers I added in 8bbb77b7c7a2 ("libbpf: Add various netlink

existed from before.

Convert all of them to void * cast, as it is treated equivalently by
clang/gcc for the purposes of pointer arithmetic and to follow the
convention elsewhere in the kernel/libbpf.

libbpf: Centralize poisoning and poison reallocarray()

Most of libbpf source files already include libbpf_internal.h, so it's a good
place to centralize identifier poisoning. So move kernel integer type
poisoning there. And also add reallocarray to a poison list to prevent
accidental use of it. libbpf_reallocarray() should be used universally
instead.

libbpf: Poison kernel-only integer types

It's been a recurring issue with types like u32 slipping into libbpf source
code accidentally. This is not detected during builds inside kernel source
tree, but becomes a compilation error in libbpf's Github repo. Libbpf is
supposed to use only __{s,u}{8,16,32,64} typedefs, so poison {s,u}{8,16,32,64}
explicitly in every .c file. Doing that in a bit more centralized way, e.g.,
inside libbpf_internal.h breaks selftests, which are both using kernel u32 and
libbpf_internal.h.

This patch also fixes a new u32 occurence in libbpf.c, added recently.

libbpf: Use pr_warn() when printing netlink errors

The netlink functions were using fprintf(stderr, ) directly to print out
error messages, instead of going through the usual logging macros. This
makes it impossible for the calling application to silence or redirect
those error messages. Fix this by switching to pr_warn() in nlattr.c and
netlink.c.

libbpf: relicense libbpf as LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause

libbpf is maturing as a library and gaining features that no other bpf libraries support
(BPF Type Format, bpf to bpf calls, etc)
Many Apache2 licensed projects (like bcc, bpftrace, gobpf, cilium, etc)
would like to use libbpf, but cannot do this yet, since Apache Foundation explicitly
states that LGPL is incompatible with Apache2.
Hence let's relicense libbpf as dual license LGPL-2.1 or BSD-2-Clause,
since BSD-2 is compatible with Apache2.
Dual LGPL or Apache2 is invalid combination.
Fix license mistake in Makefile as well.

libbpf: Consistent prefixes for interfaces in nlattr.h.

libbpf is used more and more outside kernel tree. That means the library
should follow good practices in library design and implementation to
play well with third party code that uses it.

One of such practices is to have a common prefix (or a few) for every
interface, function or data structure, library provides. I helps to
avoid name conflicts with other libraries and keeps API consistent.

Inconsistent names in libbpf already cause problems in real life. E.g.
an application can't use both libbpf and libnl due to conflicting
symbols.

Having common prefix will help to fix current and avoid future problems.

libbpf already uses the following prefixes for its interfaces:
* bpf_ for bpf system call wrappers, program/map/elf-object
abstractions and a few other things;
* btf_ for BTF related API;
* libbpf_ for everything else.

The patch adds libbpf_ prefix to interfaces in nlattr.h that use none of
mentioned above prefixes and doesn't fit well into the first two
categories.

Since affected part of API is used in bpftool, the patch applies
corresponding change to bpftool as well. Having it in a separate patch
will cause a state of tree where bpftool is broken what may not be a
good idea.

tools/bpf: add more netlink functionalities in lib/bpf

This patch added a few netlink attribute parsing functions
and the netlink API functions to query networking links, tc classes,
tc qdiscs and tc filters. For example, the following API is
to get networking links:
int nl_get_link(int sock, unsigned int nl_pid,
dump_nlmsg_t dump_link_nlmsg,
void *cookie);

Note that when the API is called, the user also provided a
callback function with the following signature:
int (*dump_nlmsg_t)(void *cookie, void *msg, struct nlattr **tb);

The "cookie" is the parameter the user passed to the API and will
be available for the callback function.
The "msg" is the information about the result, e.g., ifinfomsg or
tcmsg. The "tb" is the parsed netlink attributes.

libbpf: add error reporting in XDP

Parse netlink ext attribute to get the error message returned by
the card. Code is partially take from libnl.

We add netlink.h to the uapi include of tools. And we need to
avoid include of userspace netlink header to have a successful
build of sample so nlattr.h has a define to avoid
the inclusion. Using a direct define could have been an issue
as NLMSGERR_ATTR_MAX can change in the future.

We also define SOL_NETLINK if not defined to avoid to have to
copy socket.h for a fixed value.
