Commit 5c26f9a78358 ("libbpf: Don't use cxx to test_libpf target")
converted existing c++ test to c. We still want to include and
link against libbpf from c++ code, so reinstate this test back,
this time in a form of a selftest with a clear comment about
its purpose.

<title>libbpf: Fix readelf output parsing on powerpc with recent binutils</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3464afdf11f9a1e031e7858a05351ceca1792fea</id>
<content type='text'>
On powerpc with recent versions of binutils, readelf outputs an extra
field when dumping the symbols of an object file. For example:

    35: 0000000000000838    96 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT [&lt;localentry&gt;: 8]     1 btf_is_struct

The extra "[&lt;localentry&gt;: 8]" prevents the GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT variable to
be computed correctly and causes the check_abi target to fail.

Fix that by looking for the symbol name in the last field instead of the
8th one. This way it should also cope with future extra fields.

The st_value field is a 64-bit value and causing this error on 32-bit arches:

  $ make -C tools/perf build-test

does, ends up with these two problems:

  make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h', needed by 'bpf_helper_defs.h'.  Stop.
  make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:757: /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.a] Error 2
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Because $(srcdir) points to the /tmp/tmp.zq13cHILGB/perf-5.3.0 directory
and we need '/tools/ after that variable, and after fixing this then we
get to another problem:

  /bin/sh: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py: No such file or directory
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:184: bpf_helper_defs.h] Error 127
  make[3]: *** Deleting file 'bpf_helper_defs.h'
    LD       /tmp/build/perf/libapi-in.o
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:778: /tmp/build/perf/libbpf.a] Error 2
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Because this requires something outside the tools/ directories that gets
collected into perf's detached tarballs, to fix it just add it to
tools/perf/MANIFEST, which this patch does, now it works for that case
and also for all these other cases.

<content type='text'>
Similarly to a0d7da26ce86 ("libbpf: Fix call relocation offset calculation
bug"), relocations against global variables need to take into account
referenced symbol's st_value, which holds offset into a corresponding data
section (and, subsequently, offset into internal backing map). For static
variables this offset is always zero and data offset is completely described
by respective instruction's imm field.

Convert a bunch of selftests to global variables. Previously they were relying
on `static volatile` trick to ensure Clang doesn't inline static variables,
which with global variables is not necessary anymore.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"
