The nesting protection in bpf_perf_event_output relies on disabled
preemption, which is guaranteed for kprobes and tracepoints.

However bpf_perf_event_output can be also called from uprobes context
through bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable function which disables migration,
but keeps preemption enabled.

This can cause task to be preempted by another one inside the nesting
protection and lead eventually to two tasks using same perf_sample_data
buffer and cause crashes like:

We received report [1] of kernel crash, which is caused by
using nesting protection without disabled preemption.

The bpf_event_output can be called by programs executed by
bpf_prog_run_array_cg function that disabled migration but
keeps preemption enabled.

This can cause task to be preempted by another one inside the
nesting protection and lead eventually to two tasks using same
perf_sample_data buffer and cause crashes like:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000001

Verifier log avoids printing the same source code line multiple times
when a consecutive block of BPF assembly instructions are covered by the
same original (C) source code line. This greatly improves verifier log
legibility.

Unfortunately, this check is imperfect and in production applications it
quite often happens that verifier log will have multiple duplicated
source lines emitted, for no apparently good reason. E.g., this is
excerpt from a real-world BPF application (with register states omitted
for clarity):

5377: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)       ;

5380: (6b) *(u16 *)(r8 -30) = r1      ;
; task, data, off, STROBE_MAX_STR_LEN, map->entries[i].key); @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:400
5381: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r7 -8)       ;
5382: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -24) = r6     ;
; task, data, off, STROBE_MAX_STR_LEN, map->entries[i].key); @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:400
5383: (bc) w6 = w6                    ;
; barrier_var(payload_off); @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:280
5384: (bf) r2 = r6                    ;
5385: (bf) r1 = r4                    ;

As can be seen, line 394 is emitted thrice, 396 is emitted twice, and
line 400 is duplicated as well. Note that there are no intermingling
other lines of source code in between these duplicates, so the issue is
not compiler reordering assembly instruction such that multiple original
source code lines are in effect.

It becomes more obvious what's going on if we look at *full* original line info
information (using btfdump for this, [0]):

  #2764: line: insn #5363 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2765: line: insn #5373 --> 394:21 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2766: line: insn #5375 --> 394:47 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2767: line: insn #5377 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2768: line: insn #5378 --> 414:10 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            return off;

We can see that there are four line info records covering
instructions #5363 through #5377 (instruction indices are shifted due to
subprog instruction being appended to main program), all of them are
pointing to the same C source code line #394. But each of them points to
a different part of that line, which is denoted by differing column
numbers (3, 21, 47, 3).

But verifier log doesn't distinguish between parts of the same source code line
and doesn't emit this column number information, so for end user it's just a
repetitive visual noise. So let's improve the detection of repeated source code
line and avoid this.

With the changes in this patch, we get this output for the same piece of BPF
program log:

All the duplication is gone and the log is cleaner and less distracting.

Verifier log avoids printing the same source code line multiple times
when a consecutive block of BPF assembly instructions are covered by the
same original (C) source code line. This greatly improves verifier log
legibility.

Unfortunately, this check is imperfect and in production applications it
quite often happens that verifier log will have multiple duplicated
source lines emitted, for no apparently good reason. E.g., this is
excerpt from a real-world BPF application (with register states omitted
for clarity):

BEFORE

; for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) { @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:394
5369: (07) r8 += 2                    ;
5370: (07) r7 += 16                   ;
; for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) { @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:394

5376: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -40)     ;
5377: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)       ;

5378: (dd) if r1 s<= r9 goto pc-5     ;
; descr->key_lens[i] = 0; @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:398
5379: (b4) w1 = 0                     ;
5380: (6b) *(u16 *)(r8 -30) = r1      ;
; task, data, off, STROBE_MAX_STR_LEN, map->entries[i].key); @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:400
5381: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r7 -8)       ;
5382: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -24) = r6     ;
; task, data, off, STROBE_MAX_STR_LEN, map->entries[i].key); @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:400
5383: (bc) w6 = w6                    ;
; barrier_var(payload_off); @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:280
5384: (bf) r2 = r6                    ;
5385: (bf) r1 = r4                    ;

As can be seen, line 394 is emitted thrice, 396 is emitted twice, and
line 400 is duplicated as well. Note that there are no intermingling
other lines of source code in between these duplicates, so the issue is
not compiler reordering assembly instruction such that multiple original
source code lines are in effect.

It becomes more obvious what's going on if we look at *full* original line info
information (using btfdump for this, [0]):

  #2764: line: insn #5363 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2765: line: insn #5373 --> 394:21 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2766: line: insn #5375 --> 394:47 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2767: line: insn #5377 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2768: line: insn #5378 --> 414:10 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            return off;

We can see that there are four line info records covering
instructions #5363 through #5377 (instruction indices are shifted due to
subprog instruction being appended to main program), all of them are
pointing to the same C source code line #394. But each of them points to
a different part of that line, which is denoted by differing column
numbers (3, 21, 47, 3).

But verifier log doesn't distinguish between parts of the same source code line
and doesn't emit this column number information, so for end user it's just a
repetitive visual noise. So let's improve the detection of repeated source code
line and avoid this.

With the changes in this patch, we get this output for the same piece of BPF
program log:

As can be seen, line 394 is emitted thrice, 396 is emitted twice, and
line 400 is duplicated as well. Note that there are no intermingling
other lines of source code in between these duplicates, so the issue is
not compiler reordering assembly instruction such that multiple original
source code lines are in effect.

It becomes more obvious what's going on if we look at *full* original line info
information (using btfdump for this, [0]):

  #2764: line: insn #5363 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2765: line: insn #5373 --> 394:21 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2766: line: insn #5375 --> 394:47 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2767: line: insn #5377 --> 394:3 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            for (int i = 0; i < STROBE_MAX_MAP_ENTRIES; ++i) {
  #2768: line: insn #5378 --> 414:10 @ ./././strobemeta_probe.bpf.c
            return off;

We can see that there are four line info records covering
instructions #5363 through #5377 (instruction indices are shifted due to
subprog instruction being appended to main program), all of them are
pointing to the same C source code line #394. But each of them points to
a different part of that line, which is denoted by differing column
numbers (3, 21, 47, 3).

But verifier log doesn't distinguish between parts of the same source code line
and doesn't emit this column number information, so for end user it's just a
repetitive visual noise. So let's improve the detection of repeated source code
line and avoid this.

With the changes in this patch, we get this output for the same piece of BPF
program log:

5382: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -24) = r6     ;
5383: (bc) w6 = w6                    ;

5384: (bf) r2 = r6                    ;
5385: (bf) r1 = r4                    ;

All the duplication is gone and the log is cleaner and less distracting.
