Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/7] libbpf: add tracing attach APIs

This patchset adds the following APIs to allow attaching BPF programs to
tracing entities:
- bpf_program__attach_perf_event for attaching to any opened perf event FD,
  allowing users full control;
- bpf_program__attach_kprobe for attaching to kernel probes (both entry and
  return probes);
- bpf_program__attach_uprobe for attaching to user probes (both entry/return);
- bpf_program__attach_tracepoint for attaching to kernel tracepoints;
- bpf_program__attach_raw_tracepoint for attaching to raw kernel tracepoint
  (wrapper around bpf_raw_tracepoint_open);

This set of APIs makes libbpf more useful for tracing applications.

Pre-patch #1 makes internal libbpf_strerror_r helper function work w/ negative
error codes, lifting the burder off callers to keep track of error sign.
Patch #2 adds attach_perf_event, which is the base for all other APIs.
Patch #3 adds kprobe/uprobe APIs.
Patch #4 adds tracepoint/raw_tracepoint APIs.
Patch #5 converts one existing test to use attach_perf_event.
Patch #6 adds new kprobe/uprobe tests.
Patch #7 converts all the selftests currently using tracepoint to new APIs.

v1->v2:
- preserve errno before close() call (Stanislav);
- use libbpf_perf_event_disable_and_close in selftest (Stanislav);
- remove unnecessary memset (Stanislav);

Andrii Nakryiko (7):
  libbpf: make libbpf_strerror_r agnostic to sign of error
  libbpf: add ability to attach/detach BPF to perf event
  libbpf: add kprobe/uprobe attach API
  libbpf: add tracepoint/raw tracepoint attach API
  selftests/bpf: switch test to new attach_perf_event API
  selftests/bpf: add kprobe/uprobe selftests
  selftests/bpf: convert existing tracepoint tests to new APIs
