tools build: Correct bpf fixdep dependencies

The dependencies in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile are incorrect. Before we
recurse to build $(BPF_IN_STATIC), we need to build its 'fixdep'
executable.

I can't use the usual shortcut from Makefile.include:

<target>: <sources> fixdep

because its 'fixdep' target relies on $(OUTPUT), and $(OUTPUT) differs
in the parent 'make' versus the child 'make' -- so I imitate it via
open-coding.

I tweak a few $(MAKE) invocations while I'm at it, because
1. I'm adding a new recursive make; and
2. these recursive 'make's print spurious lines about files that are "up
to date" (which isn't normally a feature in Kbuild subtargets) or
"jobserver not available" (see [1])

I also need to tweak the assignment of the OUTPUT variable, so that
relative path builds work. For example, for 'make tools/lib/bpf', OUTPUT
is unset, and is usually treated as "cwd" -- but recursive make will
change cwd and so OUTPUT has a new meaning. For consistency, I ensure
OUTPUT is always an absolute path.

And $(Q) gets a backup definition in tools/build/Makefile.include,
because Makefile.include is sometimes included without
tools/build/Makefile, so the "quiet command" stuff doesn't actually work
consistently without it.

After this change, top-level builds result in an empty grep result from:

$ grep 'cannot find fixdep' $(find tools/ -name '*.cmd')

[1] https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html
If we're not using $(MAKE) directly, then we need to use more '+'.

kbuild: unexport abs_srctree and abs_objtree

Commit 25b146c5b8ce ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory")
exported abs_srctree and abs_objtree to avoid recomputation after the
sub-make. However, this approach turned out to be fragile.

Commit 5fa94ceb793e ("kbuild: set correct abs_srctree and abs_objtree
for package builds") moved them above "ifneq ($(sub_make_done),1)",
eliminating the need for exporting them.

These are only needed in the top Makefile. If an absolute path is
required in sub-directories, you can use $(abspath ) or $(realpath )
as needed.

libbpf: Add BPF-side of USDT support

Add BPF-side implementation of libbpf-provided USDT support. This
consists of single header library, usdt.bpf.h, which is meant to be used
from user's BPF-side source code. This header is added to the list of
installed libbpf header, along bpf_helpers.h and others.

BPF-side implementation consists of two BPF maps:
- spec map, which contains "a USDT spec" which encodes information
necessary to be able to fetch USDT arguments and other information
(argument count, user-provided cookie value, etc) at runtime;
- IP-to-spec-ID map, which is only used on kernels that don't support
BPF cookie feature. It allows to lookup spec ID based on the place
in user application that triggers USDT program.

These maps have default sizes, 256 and 1024, which are chosen
conservatively to not waste a lot of space, but handling a lot of common
cases. But there could be cases when user application needs to either
trace a lot of different USDTs, or USDTs are heavily inlined and their
arguments are located in a lot of differing locations. For such cases it
might be necessary to size those maps up, which libbpf allows to do by
overriding BPF_USDT_MAX_SPEC_CNT and BPF_USDT_MAX_IP_CNT macros.

It is an important aspect to keep in mind. Single USDT (user-space
equivalent of kernel tracepoint) can have multiple USDT "call sites".
That is, single logical USDT is triggered from multiple places in user
application. This can happen due to function inlining. Each such inlined
instance of USDT invocation can have its own unique USDT argument
specification (instructions about the location of the value of each of
USDT arguments). So while USDT looks very similar to usual uprobe or
kernel tracepoint, under the hood it's actually a collection of uprobes,
each potentially needing different spec to know how to fetch arguments.

User-visible API consists of three helper functions:
- bpf_usdt_arg_cnt(), which returns number of arguments of current USDT;
- bpf_usdt_arg(), which reads value of specified USDT argument (by
it's zero-indexed position) and returns it as 64-bit value;
- bpf_usdt_cookie(), which functions like BPF cookie for USDT
programs; this is necessary as libbpf doesn't allow specifying actual
BPF cookie and utilizes it internally for USDT support implementation.

Each bpf_usdt_xxx() APIs expect struct pt_regs * context, passed into
BPF program. On kernels that don't support BPF cookie it is used to
fetch absolute IP address of the underlying uprobe.

usdt.bpf.h also provides BPF_USDT() macro, which functions like
BPF_PROG() and BPF_KPROBE() and allows much more user-friendly way to
get access to USDT arguments, if USDT definition is static and known to
the user. It is expected that majority of use cases won't have to use
bpf_usdt_arg_cnt() and bpf_usdt_arg() directly and BPF_USDT() will cover
all their needs.

Last, usdt.bpf.h is utilizing BPF CO-RE for one single purpose: to
detect kernel support for BPF cookie. If BPF CO-RE dependency is
undesirable, user application can redefine BPF_USDT_HAS_BPF_COOKIE to
either a boolean constant (or equivalently zero and non-zero), or even
point it to its own .rodata variable that can be specified from user's
application user-space code. It is important that
BPF_USDT_HAS_BPF_COOKIE is known to BPF verifier as static value (thus
.rodata and not just .data), as otherwise BPF code will still contain
bpf_get_attach_cookie() BPF helper call and will fail validation at
runtime, if not dead-code eliminated.

There are cases where clang compiler is packaged in a way

and the following error will appear during libbpf build:

The above failure is due to different printouts for some ABS
versioned symbols. For example, with the same libbpf.so,
$ /bin/readelf --dyn-syms --wide tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.so | grep "LIBBPF" | grep ABS

202: 0000000000000000 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS LIBBPF_0.6.0@@LIBBPF_0.6.0
...
The binutils readelf doesn't print out the symbol LIBBPF_* version and llvm-readelf does.
Such a difference caused libbpf build failure with llvm-readelf.

The proposed fix filters out all ABS symbols as they are not part of the comparison.
This works for both binutils readelf and llvm-readelf.

libbpf: Skip re-installing headers file if source is older than target

The "install_headers" target in libbpf's Makefile would unconditionally
export all API headers to the target directory. When those headers are
installed to compile another application, this means that make always
finds newer dependencies for the source files relying on those headers,
and deduces that the targets should be rebuilt.

Avoid that by making "install_headers" depend on the source header
files, and (re-)install them only when necessary.

bpf: Use $(pound) instead of \# in Makefiles

Recent-ish versions of make do no longer consider number signs ("#") as
comment symbols when they are inserted inside of a macro reference or in
a function invocation. In such cases, the symbols should not be escaped.

There are a few occurrences of "\#" in libbpf's and samples' Makefiles.
In the former, the backslash is harmless, because grep associates no
particular meaning to the escaped symbol and reads it as a regular "#".
In samples' Makefile, recent versions of make will pass the backslash
down to the compiler, making the probe fail all the time and resulting
in the display of a warning about "make headers_install" being required,
even after headers have been installed.

A similar issue has been addressed at some other locations by commit
9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make").
Let's address it for libbpf's and samples' Makefiles in the same
fashion, by using a "$(pound)" variable (pulled from
tools/scripts/Makefile.include for libbpf, or re-defined for the
samples).

libbpf: Make libbpf_version.h non-auto-generated

Turn previously auto-generated libbpf_version.h header into a normal
header file. This prevents various tricky Makefile integration issues,
simplifies the overall build process, but also allows to further extend
it with some more versioning-related APIs in the future.

To prevent accidental out-of-sync versions as defined by libbpf.map and
libbpf_version.h, Makefile checks their consistency at build time.

Simultaneously with this change bump libbpf.map to v0.6.

Also undo adding libbpf's output directory into include path for
kernel/bpf/preload, bpftool, and resolve_btfids, which is not necessary
because libbpf_version.h is just a normal header like any other.

libbpf: Add LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE macro for scheduling API deprecations

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, bpftool, bpf_preload) 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]).
