====================
On Android, APKs (android packages; zip packages with somewhat
prescriptive contents) are first class citizens in the system: the
shared objects contained in them don't exist in unpacked form on the
file system. Rather, they are mmaped directly from within the archive
and the archive is also what the kernel is aware of.
For users that complicates the process of attaching a uprobe to a
function contained in a shared object in one such APK: they'd have to
find the byte offset of said function from the beginning of the archive.
That is cumbersome to do manually and can be fragile, because various
changes could invalidate said offset.
That is why for uprobes inside ELF files (not inside an APK), commit
d112c9ce249b ("libbpf: Support function name-based attach uprobes") added
support for attaching to symbols by name. On Android, that mechanism
currently does not work, because this logic is not APK aware.
This patch set introduces first class support for attaching uprobes to
functions inside ELF objects contained in APKs via function names. We
add support for recognizing the following syntax for a binary path:
<archive>!/<binary-in-archive>
(e.g., /system/app/test-app.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a/libc++.so)
This syntax is common in the Android eco system and used by tools such
as simpleperf. It is also what is being proposed for bcc [0].
If the user provides such a binary path, we find <binary-in-archive>
(lib/arm64-v8a/libc++.so in the example) inside of <archive>
(/system/app/test-app.apk). We perform the regular ELF offset search
inside the binary and add that to the offset within the archive itself,
to retrieve the offset at which to attach the uprobe.

Changelog
---------
v3->v4:
- use ERR_PTR instead of libbpf_err_ptr() in zip_archive_open()
- eliminated err variable from elf_find_func_offset_from_archive()
v2->v3:
- adjusted zip_archive_open() to report errno
- fixed provided libbpf_strlcpy() buffer size argument
- adjusted find_cd() to handle errors better
- use fewer local variables in get_entry_at_offset()
v1->v2:
- removed unaligned_* types
- switched to using __u32 and __u16
- switched to using errno constants instead of hard-coded negative values
- added another pr_debug() message
- shortened central_directory_* to cd_*
- inlined cd_file_header_at_offset() function
- bunch of syntactical changes

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
