Adds support for fq's Earliest Departure Time to HBM (Host Bandwidth
Manager). Includes a new BPF program supporting EDT, and also updates
corresponding programs.
It will drop packets with an EDT of more than 500us in the future
unless the packet belongs to a flow with less than 2 packets in flight.
This is done so each flow has at least 2 packets in flight, so they
will not starve, and also to help prevent delayed ACK timeouts.
It will also work with ECN enabled traffic, where the packets will be
CE marked if their EDT is more than 50us in the future.
The table below shows some performance numbers. The flows are back to
back RPCS. One server sending to another, either 2 or 4 flows.
One flow is a 10KB RPC, the rest are 1MB RPCs. When there are more
than one flow of a given RPC size, the numbers represent averages.
The rate limit applies to all flows (they are in the same cgroup).
Tests ending with "-edt" ran with the new BPF program supporting EDT.
Tests ending with "-hbt" ran on top HBT qdisc with the specified rate
(i.e. no HBM). The other tests ran with the HBM BPF program included
in the HBM patch-set.
EDT has limited value when using DCTCP, but it helps in many cases when
using Cubic. It usually achieves larger link utilization and lower
99% latencies for the 1MB RPCs.
HBM ends up queueing a lot of packets with its default parameter values,
reducing the goodput of the 10KB RPCs and increasing their latency. Also,
the RTTs seen by the flows are quite large.

Currently, header inclusion in each file is inconsistent.
For example, "libbpf.h" header is included as multiple ways.
#include "bpf/libbpf.h"
#include "libbpf.h"
Due to commit b552d33c80 ("samples/bpf: fix include path
in Makefile"), $(srctree)/tools/lib/bpf/ path had been included
during build, path "bpf/" in header isn't necessary anymore.
This commit removes path "bpf/" in header inclusion.

The program nrm creates a cgroup and attaches a BPF program to the
cgroup for testing HBM (Host Bandwidth Manager) for egress traffic.
One still needs to create network traffic. This can be done through
netesto, netperf or iperf3.
A follow-up patch contains a script to create traffic.
USAGE: hbm [-d] [-l] [-n <id>] [-r <rate>] [-s] [-t <secs>]
[-w] [-h] [prog]
Where:
-d Print BPF trace debug buffer
-l Also limit flows doing loopback
-n <#> To create cgroup "/hbm#" and attach prog. Default is /nrm1
This is convenient when testing HBM in more than 1 cgroup
-r <rate> Rate limit in Mbps
-s Get HBM stats (marked, dropped, etc.)
-t <time> Exit after specified seconds (deault is 0)
-w Work conserving flag. cgroup can increase its bandwidth
beyond the rate limit specified while there is available
bandwidth. Current implementation assumes there is only
NIC (eth0), but can be extended to support multiple NICs.
Currrently only supported for egress. Note, this is just
a proof of concept.
-h Print this info
prog BPF program file name. Name defaults to hbm_out_kern.o
More information about HBM can be found in the paper "BPF Host Resource
Management" presented at the 2018 Linux Plumbers Conference, Networking Track
