Alexei Starovoitov f1606dd0ac bpf: Add bpf_compute_const_regs() and bpf_prune_dead_branches() passes
Add two passes before the main verifier pass:

bpf_compute_const_regs() is a forward dataflow analysis that tracks
register values in R0-R9 across the program using fixed-point
iteration in reverse postorder. Each register is tracked with
a six-state lattice:

  UNVISITED -> CONST(val) / MAP_PTR(map_index) /
               MAP_VALUE(map_index, offset) / SUBPROG(num) -> UNKNOWN

At merge points, if two paths produce the same state and value for
a register, it stays; otherwise it becomes UNKNOWN.

The analysis handles:
 - MOV, ADD, SUB, AND with immediate or register operands
 - LD_IMM64 for plain constants, map FDs, map values, and subprogs
 - LDX from read-only maps: constant-folds the load by reading the
   map value directly via bpf_map_direct_read()

Results that fit in 32 bits are stored per-instruction in
insn_aux_data and bitmasks.

bpf_prune_dead_branches() uses the computed constants to evaluate
conditional branches. When both operands of a conditional jump are
known constants, the branch outcome is determined statically and the
instruction is rewritten to an unconditional jump.
The CFG postorder is then recomputed to reflect new control flow.
This eliminates dead edges so that subsequent liveness analysis
doesn't propagate through dead code.

Also add runtime sanity check to validate that precomputed
constants match the verifier's tracked state.

Matt BobrowskiandAlexei Starovoitov 94e948b7e6 bpf: annotate file argument as __nullable in bpf_lsm_mmap_file
As reported in [0], anonymous memory mappings are not backed by a
struct file instance. Consequently, the struct file pointer passed to
the security_mmap_file() LSM hook is NULL in such cases.

The BPF verifier is currently unaware of this, allowing BPF LSM
programs to dereference this struct file pointer without needing to
perform an explicit NULL check. This leads to potential NULL pointer
dereference and a kernel crash.

Add a strong override for bpf_lsm_mmap_file() which annotates the
struct file pointer parameter with the __nullable suffix. This
explicitly informs the BPF verifier that this pointer (PTR_MAYBE_NULL)
can be NULL, forcing BPF LSM programs to perform a check on it before
dereferencing it.

Anton ProtopopovandAlexei Starovoitov b4ce5923e7 bpf, x86: add new map type: instructions array
On bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD) syscall user-supplied BPF programs are
translated by the verifier into "xlated" BPF programs. During this
process the original instructions offsets might be adjusted and/or
individual instructions might be replaced by new sets of instructions,
or deleted.

Add a new BPF map type which is aimed to keep track of how, for a
given program, the original instructions were relocated during the
verification. Also, besides keeping track of the original -> xlated
mapping, make x86 JIT to build the xlated -> jitted mapping for every
instruction listed in an instruction array. This is required for every
future application of instruction arrays: static keys, indirect jumps
and indirect calls.

A map of the BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_ARRAY type must be created with a u32
keys and value of size 8. The values have different semantics for
userspace and for BPF space. For userspace a value consists of two
u32 values – xlated and jitted offsets. For BPF side the value is
a real pointer to a jitted instruction.

On map creation/initialization, before loading the program, each
element of the map should be initialized to point to an instruction
offset within the program. Before the program load such maps should
be made frozen. After the program verification xlated and jitted
offsets can be read via the bpf(2) syscall.

If a tracked instruction is removed by the verifier, then the xlated
offset is set to (u32)-1 which is considered to be too big for a valid
BPF program offset.

One such a map can, obviously, be used to track one and only one BPF
program.  If the verification process was unsuccessful, then the same
map can be re-used to verify the program with a different log level.
However, if the program was loaded fine, then such a map, being
frozen in any case, can't be reused by other programs even after the
program release.

Example. Consider the following original and xlated programs:

    Original prog:                      Xlated prog:

     0:  r1 = 0x0                        0: r1 = 0
     1:  *(u32 *)(r10 - 0x4) = r1        1: *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r1
     2:  r2 = r10                        2: r2 = r10
     3:  r2 += -0x4                      3: r2 += -4
     4:  r1 = 0x0 ll                     4: r1 = map[id:88]
     6:  call 0x1                        6: r1 += 272
                                         7: r0 = *(u32 *)(r2 +0)
                                         8: if r0 >= 0x1 goto pc+3
                                         9: r0 <<= 3
                                        10: r0 += r1
                                        11: goto pc+1
                                        12: r0 = 0
     7:  r6 = r0                        13: r6 = r0
     8:  if r6 == 0x0 goto +0x2         14: if r6 == 0x0 goto pc+4
     9:  call 0x76                      15: r0 = 0xffffffff8d2079c0
                                        17: r0 = *(u64 *)(r0 +0)
    10:  *(u64 *)(r6 + 0x0) = r0        18: *(u64 *)(r6 +0) = r0
    11:  r0 = 0x0                       19: r0 = 0x0
    12:  exit                           20: exit

An instruction array map, containing, e.g., instructions [0,4,7,12]
will be translated by the verifier to [0,4,13,20]. A map with
index 5 (the middle of 16-byte instruction) or indexes greater than 12
(outside the program boundaries) would be rejected.

The functionality provided by this patch will be extended in consequent
patches to implement BPF Static Keys, indirect jumps, and indirect calls.

Eduard ZingermanandAlexei Starovoitov b3698c356a bpf: callchain sensitive stack liveness tracking using CFG
This commit adds a flow-sensitive, context-sensitive, path-insensitive
data flow analysis for live stack slots:
- flow-sensitive: uses program control flow graph to compute data flow
  values;
- context-sensitive: collects data flow values for each possible call
  chain in a program;
- path-insensitive: does not distinguish between separate control flow
  graph paths reaching the same instruction.

Compared to the current path-sensitive analysis, this approach trades
some precision for not having to enumerate every path in the program.
This gives a theoretical capability to run the analysis before main
verification pass. See cover letter for motivation.

The basic idea is as follows:
- Data flow values indicate stack slots that might be read and stack
  slots that are definitely written.
- Data flow values are collected for each
  (call chain, instruction number) combination in the program.
- Within a subprogram, data flow values are propagated using control
  flow graph.
- Data flow values are transferred from entry instructions of callee
  subprograms to call sites in caller subprograms.

In other words, a tree of all possible call chains is constructed.
Each node of this tree represents a subprogram. Read and write marks
are collected for each instruction of each node. Live stack slots are
first computed for lower level nodes. Then, information about outer
stack slots that might be read or are definitely written by a
subprogram is propagated one level up, to the corresponding call
instructions of the upper nodes. Procedure repeats until root node is
processed.

In the absence of value range analysis, stack read/write marks are
collected during main verification pass, and data flow computation is
triggered each time verifier.c:states_equal() needs to query the
information.

Implementation details are documented in kernel/bpf/liveness.c.
Quantitative data about verification performance changes and memory
consumption is in the cover letter.

Kumar Kartikeya DwivediandAlexei Starovoitov 0d80e7f951 rqspinlock: Choose trylock fallback for NMI waiters
Currently, out of all 3 types of waiters in the rqspinlock slow path
(i.e., pending bit waiter, wait queue head waiter, and wait queue
non-head waiter), only the pending bit waiter and wait queue head
waiters apply deadlock checks and a timeout on their waiting loop. The
assumption here was that the wait queue head's forward progress would be
sufficient to identify cases where the lock owner or pending bit waiter
is stuck, and non-head waiters relying on the head waiter would prove to
be sufficient for their own forward progress.

However, the head waiter itself can be preempted by a non-head waiter
for the same lock (AA) or a different lock (ABBA) in a manner that
impedes its forward progress. In such a case, non-head waiters not
performing deadlock and timeout checks becomes insufficient, and the
system can enter a state of lockup.

This is typically not a concern with non-NMI lock acquisitions, as lock
holders which in run in different contexts (IRQ, non-IRQ) use "irqsave"
variants of the lock APIs, which naturally excludes such lock holders
from preempting one another on the same CPU.

It might seem likely that a similar case may occur for rqspinlock when
programs are attached to contention tracepoints (begin, end), however,
these tracepoints either precede the enqueue into the wait queue, or
succeed it, therefore cannot be used to preempt a head waiter's waiting
loop.

We must still be careful against nested kprobe and fentry programs that
may attach to the middle of the head's waiting loop to stall forward
progress and invoke another rqspinlock acquisition that proceeds as a
non-head waiter. To this end, drop CC_FLAGS_FTRACE from the rqspinlock.o
object file.

For now, this issue is resolved by falling back to a repeated trylock on
the lock word from NMI context, while performing the deadlock checks to
break out early in case forward progress is impossible, and use the
timeout as a final fallback.

A more involved fix to terminate the queue when such a condition occurs
will be made as a follow up. A selftest to stress this aspect of nested
NMI/non-NMI locking attempts will be added in a subsequent patch to the
bpf-next tree when this fix lands and trees are synchronized.

Kumar Kartikeya DwivediandAlexei Starovoitov 5ab154f146 bpf: Introduce BPF standard streams
Add support for a stream API to the kernel and expose related kfuncs to
BPF programs. Two streams are exposed, BPF_STDOUT and BPF_STDERR. These
can be used for printing messages that can be consumed from user space,
thus it's similar in spirit to existing trace_pipe interface.

The kernel will use the BPF_STDERR stream to notify the program of any
errors encountered at runtime. BPF programs themselves may use both
streams for writing debug messages. BPF library-like code may use
BPF_STDERR to print warnings or errors on misuse at runtime.

The implementation of a stream is as follows. Everytime a message is
emitted from the kernel (directly, or through a BPF program), a record
is allocated by bump allocating from per-cpu region backed by a page
obtained using alloc_pages_nolock(). This ensures that we can allocate
memory from any context. The eventual plan is to discard this scheme in
favor of Alexei's kmalloc_nolock() [0].

This record is then locklessly inserted into a list (llist_add()) so
that the printing side doesn't require holding any locks, and works in
any context. Each stream has a maximum capacity of 4MB of text, and each
printed message is accounted against this limit.

Messages from a program are emitted using the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc,
which takes a stream_id argument in addition to working otherwise
similar to bpf_trace_vprintk.

The bprintf buffer helpers are extracted out to be reused for printing
the string into them before copying it into the stream, so that we can
(with the defined max limit) format a string and know its true length
before performing allocations of the stream element.

For consuming elements from a stream, we expose a bpf(2) syscall command
named BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD, which allows reading data from the
stream of a given prog_fd into a user space buffer. The main logic is
implemented in bpf_stream_read(). The log messages are queued in
bpf_stream::log by the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, and then pulled and
ordered correctly in the stream backlog.

For this purpose, we hold a lock around bpf_stream_backlog_peek(), as
llist_del_first() (if we maintained a second lockless list for the
backlog) wouldn't be safe from multiple threads anyway. Then, if we
fail to find something in the backlog log, we splice out everything from
the lockless log, and place it in the backlog log, and then return the
head of the backlog. Once the full length of the element is consumed, we
will pop it and free it.

The lockless list bpf_stream::log is a LIFO stack. Elements obtained
using a llist_del_all() operation are in LIFO order, thus would break
the chronological ordering if printed directly. Hence, this batch of
messages is first reversed. Then, it is stashed into a separate list in
the stream, i.e. the backlog_log. The head of this list is the actual
message that should always be returned to the caller. All of this is
done in bpf_stream_backlog_fill().

From the kernel side, the writing into the stream will be a bit more
involved than the typical printk. First, the kernel typically may print
a collection of messages into the stream, and parallel writers into the
stream may suffer from interleaving of messages. To ensure each group of
messages is visible atomically, we can lift the advantage of using a
lockless list for pushing in messages.

To enable this, we add a bpf_stream_stage() macro, and require kernel
users to use bpf_stream_printk statements for the passed expression to
write into the stream. Underneath the macro, we have a message staging
API, where a bpf_stream_stage object on the stack accumulates the
messages being printed into a local llist_head, and then a commit
operation splices the whole batch into the stream's lockless log list.

This is especially pertinent for rqspinlock deadlock messages printed to
program streams. After this change, we see each deadlock invocation as a
non-interleaving contiguous message without any confusion on the
reader's part, improving their user experience in debugging the fault.

While programs cannot benefit from this staged stream writing API, they
could just as well hold an rqspinlock around their print statements to
serialize messages, hence this is kept kernel-internal for now.

Overall, this infrastructure provides NMI-safe any context printing of
messages to two dedicated streams.

Later patches will add support for printing splats in case of BPF arena
page faults, rqspinlock deadlocks, and cond_break timeouts, and
integration of this facility into bpftool for dumping messages to user
space.

Namhyung KimandAlexei Starovoitov 4971266e15 bpf: Add kmem_cache iterator
The new "kmem_cache" iterator will traverse the list of slab caches
and call attached BPF programs for each entry.  It should check the
argument (ctx.s) if it's NULL before using it.

Now the iteration grabs the slab_mutex only if it traverse the list and
releases the mutex when it runs the BPF program.  The kmem_cache entry
is protected by a refcount during the execution.

Alexey GladkovandAlexei Starovoitov 1dd7622ef5 bpf: Remove custom build rule
According to the documentation, when building a kernel with the C=2
parameter, all source files should be checked. But this does not happen
for the kernel/bpf/ directory.

$ touch kernel/bpf/core.o
$ make C=2 CHECK=true kernel/bpf/core.o

Outputs:

  CHECK   scripts/mod/empty.c
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND objtool
  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
  CC      kernel/bpf/core.o

As can be seen the compilation is done, but CHECK is not executed. This
happens because kernel/bpf/Makefile has defined its own rule for
compilation and forgotten the macro that does the check.

There is no need to duplicate the build code, and this rule can be
removed to use generic rules.

Alan MaguireandAndrii Nakryiko 8646db2389 libbpf,bpf: Share BTF relocate-related code with kernel
Share relocation implementation with the kernel.  As part of this,
we also need the type/string iteration functions so also share
btf_iter.c file. Relocation code in kernel and userspace is identical
save for the impementation of the reparenting of split BTF to the
relocated base BTF and retrieval of the BTF header from "struct btf";
these small functions need separate user-space and kernel implementations
for the separate "struct btf"s they operate upon.

One other wrinkle on the kernel side is we have to map .BTF.ids in
modules as they were generated with the type ids used at BTF encoding
time. btf_relocate() optionally returns an array mapping from old BTF
ids to relocated ids, so we use that to fix up these references where
needed for kfuncs.

Arnd BergmannandMasahiro Yamada c40845e319 kbuild: make -Woverride-init warnings more consistent
The -Woverride-init warn about code that may be intentional or not,
but the inintentional ones tend to be real bugs, so there is a bit of
disagreement on whether this warning option should be enabled by default
and we have multiple settings in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn as well as
individual subsystems.

Older versions of clang only supported -Wno-initializer-overrides with
the same meaning as gcc's -Woverride-init, though all supported versions
now work with both. Because of this difference, an earlier cleanup of
mine accidentally turned the clang warning off for W=1 builds and only
left it on for W=2, while it's still enabled for gcc with W=1.

There is also one driver that only turns the warning off for newer
versions of gcc but not other compilers, and some but not all the
Makefiles still use a cc-disable-warning conditional that is no
longer needed with supported compilers here.

Address all of the above by removing the special cases for clang
and always turning the warning off unconditionally where it got
in the way, using the syntax that is supported by both compilers.

Alexei StarovoitovandAndrii Nakryiko 317460317a bpf: Introduce bpf_arena.
Introduce bpf_arena, which is a sparse shared memory region between the bpf
program and user space.

Use cases:
1. User space mmap-s bpf_arena and uses it as a traditional mmap-ed
   anonymous region, like memcached or any key/value storage. The bpf
   program implements an in-kernel accelerator. XDP prog can search for
   a key in bpf_arena and return a value without going to user space.
2. The bpf program builds arbitrary data structures in bpf_arena (hash
   tables, rb-trees, sparse arrays), while user space consumes it.
3. bpf_arena is a "heap" of memory from the bpf program's point of view.
   The user space may mmap it, but bpf program will not convert pointers
   to user base at run-time to improve bpf program speed.

Initially, the kernel vm_area and user vma are not populated. User space
can fault in pages within the range. While servicing a page fault,
bpf_arena logic will insert a new page into the kernel and user vmas. The
bpf program can allocate pages from that region via
bpf_arena_alloc_pages(). This kernel function will insert pages into the
kernel vm_area. The subsequent fault-in from user space will populate that
page into the user vma. The BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT flag at arena creation time
can be used to prevent fault-in from user space. In such a case, if a page
is not allocated by the bpf program and not present in the kernel vm_area,
the user process will segfault. This is useful for use cases 2 and 3 above.

bpf_arena_alloc_pages() is similar to user space mmap(). It allocates pages
either at a specific address within the arena or allocates a range with the
maple tree. bpf_arena_free_pages() is analogous to munmap(), which frees
pages and removes the range from the kernel vm_area and from user process
vmas.

bpf_arena can be used as a bpf program "heap" of up to 4GB. The speed of
bpf program is more important than ease of sharing with user space. This is
use case 3. In such a case, the BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV flag is recommended.
It will tell the verifier to treat the rX = bpf_arena_cast_user(rY)
instruction as a 32-bit move wX = wY, which will improve bpf prog
performance. Otherwise, bpf_arena_cast_user is translated by JIT to
conditionally add the upper 32 bits of user vm_start (if the pointer is not
NULL) to arena pointers before they are stored into memory. This way, user
space sees them as valid 64-bit pointers.

Diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84410 enables LLVM BPF
backend generate the bpf_addr_space_cast() instruction to cast pointers
between address_space(1) which is reserved for bpf_arena pointers and
default address space zero. All arena pointers in a bpf program written in
C language are tagged as __attribute__((address_space(1))). Hence, clang
provides helpful diagnostics when pointers cross address space. Libbpf and
the kernel support only address_space == 1. All other address space
identifiers are reserved.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, /* dst_as */ 1, /* src_as */ 0) tells the
verifier that rX->type = PTR_TO_ARENA. Any further operations on
PTR_TO_ARENA register have to be in the 32-bit domain. The verifier will
mark load/store through PTR_TO_ARENA with PROBE_MEM32. JIT will generate
them as kern_vm_start + 32bit_addr memory accesses. The behavior is similar
to copy_from_kernel_nofault() except that no address checks are necessary.
The address is guaranteed to be in the 4GB range. If the page is not
present, the destination register is zeroed on read, and the operation is
ignored on write.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, 0, 1) tells the verifier that rX->type =
unknown scalar. If arena->map_flags has BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV set, then the
verifier converts such cast instructions to mov32. Otherwise, JIT will emit
native code equivalent to:
rX = (u32)rY;
if (rY)
  rX |= clear_lo32_bits(arena->user_vm_start); /* replace hi32 bits in rX */

After such conversion, the pointer becomes a valid user pointer within
bpf_arena range. The user process can access data structures created in
bpf_arena without any additional computations. For example, a linked list
built by a bpf program can be walked natively by user space.

Andrii NakryikoandAlexei Starovoitov 35f96de041 bpf: Introduce BPF token object
Add new kind of BPF kernel object, BPF token. BPF token is meant to
allow delegating privileged BPF functionality, like loading a BPF
program or creating a BPF map, from privileged process to a *trusted*
unprivileged process, all while having a good amount of control over which
privileged operations could be performed using provided BPF token.

This is achieved through mounting BPF FS instance with extra delegation
mount options, which determine what operations are delegatable, and also
constraining it to the owning user namespace (as mentioned in the
previous patch).

BPF token itself is just a derivative from BPF FS and can be created
through a new bpf() syscall command, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE, which accepts BPF
FS FD, which can be attained through open() API by opening BPF FS mount
point. Currently, BPF token "inherits" delegated command, map types,
prog type, and attach type bit sets from BPF FS as is. In the future,
having an BPF token as a separate object with its own FD, we can allow
to further restrict BPF token's allowable set of things either at the
creation time or after the fact, allowing the process to guard itself
further from unintentionally trying to load undesired kind of BPF
programs. But for now we keep things simple and just copy bit sets as is.

When BPF token is created from BPF FS mount, we take reference to the
BPF super block's owning user namespace, and then use that namespace for
checking all the {CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN}
capabilities that are normally only checked against init userns (using
capable()), but now we check them using ns_capable() instead (if BPF
token is provided). See bpf_token_capable() for details.

Such setup means that BPF token in itself is not sufficient to grant BPF
functionality. User namespaced process has to *also* have necessary
combination of capabilities inside that user namespace. So while
previously CAP_BPF was useless when granted within user namespace, now
it gains a meaning and allows container managers and sys admins to have
a flexible control over which processes can and need to use BPF
functionality within the user namespace (i.e., container in practice).
And BPF FS delegation mount options and derived BPF tokens serve as
a per-container "flag" to grant overall ability to use bpf() (plus further
restrict on which parts of bpf() syscalls are treated as namespaced).

Note also, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE command itself requires ns_capable(CAP_BPF)
within the BPF FS owning user namespace, rounding up the ns_capable()
story of BPF token. Also creating BPF token in init user namespace is
currently not supported, given BPF token doesn't have any effect in init
user namespace anyways.

Daniel BorkmannandAlexei Starovoitov e420bed025 bpf: Add fd-based tcx multi-prog infra with link support
This work refactors and adds a lightweight extension ("tcx") to the tc BPF
ingress and egress data path side for allowing BPF program management based
on fds via bpf() syscall through the newly added generic multi-prog API.
The main goal behind this work which we also presented at LPC [0] last year
and a recent update at LSF/MM/BPF this year [3] is to support long-awaited
BPF link functionality for tc BPF programs, which allows for a model of safe
ownership and program detachment.

Given the rise in tc BPF users in cloud native environments, this becomes
necessary to avoid hard to debug incidents either through stale leftover
programs or 3rd party applications accidentally stepping on each others toes.
As a recap, a BPF link represents the attachment of a BPF program to a BPF
hook point. The BPF link holds a single reference to keep BPF program alive.
Moreover, hook points do not reference a BPF link, only the application's
fd or pinning does. A BPF link holds meta-data specific to attachment and
implements operations for link creation, (atomic) BPF program update,
detachment and introspection. The motivation for BPF links for tc BPF programs
is multi-fold, for example:

  - From Meta: "It's especially important for applications that are deployed
    fleet-wide and that don't "control" hosts they are deployed to. If such
    application crashes and no one notices and does anything about that, BPF
    program will keep running draining resources or even just, say, dropping
    packets. We at FB had outages due to such permanent BPF attachment
    semantics. With fd-based BPF link we are getting a framework, which allows
    safe, auto-detachable behavior by default, unless application explicitly
    opts in by pinning the BPF link." [1]

  - From Cilium-side the tc BPF programs we attach to host-facing veth devices
    and phys devices build the core datapath for Kubernetes Pods, and they
    implement forwarding, load-balancing, policy, EDT-management, etc, within
    BPF. Currently there is no concept of 'safe' ownership, e.g. we've recently
    experienced hard-to-debug issues in a user's staging environment where
    another Kubernetes application using tc BPF attached to the same prio/handle
    of cls_bpf, accidentally wiping all Cilium-based BPF programs from underneath
    it. The goal is to establish a clear/safe ownership model via links which
    cannot accidentally be overridden. [0,2]

BPF links for tc can co-exist with non-link attachments, and the semantics are
in line also with XDP links: BPF links cannot replace other BPF links, BPF
links cannot replace non-BPF links, non-BPF links cannot replace BPF links and
lastly only non-BPF links can replace non-BPF links. In case of Cilium, this
would solve mentioned issue of safe ownership model as 3rd party applications
would not be able to accidentally wipe Cilium programs, even if they are not
BPF link aware.

Earlier attempts [4] have tried to integrate BPF links into core tc machinery
to solve cls_bpf, which has been intrusive to the generic tc kernel API with
extensions only specific to cls_bpf and suboptimal/complex since cls_bpf could
be wiped from the qdisc also. Locking a tc BPF program in place this way, is
getting into layering hacks given the two object models are vastly different.

We instead implemented the tcx (tc 'express') layer which is an fd-based tc BPF
attach API, so that the BPF link implementation blends in naturally similar to
other link types which are fd-based and without the need for changing core tc
internal APIs. BPF programs for tc can then be successively migrated from classic
cls_bpf to the new tc BPF link without needing to change the program's source
code, just the BPF loader mechanics for attaching is sufficient.

For the current tc framework, there is no change in behavior with this change
and neither does this change touch on tc core kernel APIs. The gist of this
patch is that the ingress and egress hook have a lightweight, qdisc-less
extension for BPF to attach its tc BPF programs, in other words, a minimal
entry point for tc BPF. The name tcx has been suggested from discussion of
earlier revisions of this work as a good fit, and to more easily differ between
the classic cls_bpf attachment and the fd-based one.

For the ingress and egress tcx points, the device holds a cache-friendly array
with program pointers which is separated from control plane (slow-path) data.
Earlier versions of this work used priority to determine ordering and expression
of dependencies similar as with classic tc, but it was challenged that for
something more future-proof a better user experience is required. Hence this
resulted in the design and development of the generic attach/detach/query API
for multi-progs. See prior patch with its discussion on the API design. tcx is
the first user and later we plan to integrate also others, for example, one
candidate is multi-prog support for XDP which would benefit and have the same
'look and feel' from API perspective.

The goal with tcx is to have maximum compatibility to existing tc BPF programs,
so they don't need to be rewritten specifically. Compatibility to call into
classic tcf_classify() is also provided in order to allow successive migration
or both to cleanly co-exist where needed given its all one logical tc layer and
the tcx plus classic tc cls/act build one logical overall processing pipeline.

tcx supports the simplified return codes TCX_NEXT which is non-terminating (go
to next program) and terminating ones with TCX_PASS, TCX_DROP, TCX_REDIRECT.
The fd-based API is behind a static key, so that when unused the code is also
not entered. The struct tcx_entry's program array is currently static, but
could be made dynamic if necessary at a point in future. The a/b pair swap
design has been chosen so that for detachment there are no allocations which
otherwise could fail.

The work has been tested with tc-testing selftest suite which all passes, as
well as the tc BPF tests from the BPF CI, and also with Cilium's L4LB.

Thanks also to Nikolay Aleksandrov and Martin Lau for in-depth early reviews
of this work.
