Adding d_path helper function that returns full path for
given 'struct path' object, which needs to be the kernel
BTF 'path' object. The path is returned in buffer provided
'buf' of size 'sz' and is zero terminated.
bpf_d_path(&file->f_path, buf, size);
The helper calls directly d_path function, so there's only
limited set of function it can be called from. Adding just
very modest set for the start.
Updating also bpf.h tools uapi header and adding 'path' to
bpf_helpers_doc.py script.

Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type
BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer
when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for
connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for
a packet for connection-less protocols.
When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive
the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what
bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are:
(1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket
192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket
(2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket
198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket
In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that
triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and
address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress
interface identifier.
To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket
references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...)
helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected
socket as a result of socket lookup.
In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either
SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should
look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the
program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the
lookup should fail.
This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a
network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery
path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack(), which dumps stack trace of given
task. This is different to bpf_get_stack(), which gets stack track of
current task. One potential use case of bpf_get_task_stack() is to call
it from bpf_iter__task and dump all /proc/<pid>/stack to a seq_file.
bpf_get_task_stack() uses stack_trace_save_tsk() instead of
get_perf_callchain() for kernel stack. The benefit of this choice is that
stack_trace_save_tsk() doesn't require changes in arch/. The downside of
using stack_trace_save_tsk() is that stack_trace_save_tsk() dumps the
stack trace to unsigned long array. For 32-bit systems, we need to
translate it to u64 array.

The helper is used in tracing programs to cast a socket
pointer to a tcp6_sock pointer.
The return value could be NULL if the casting is illegal.
A new helper return type RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL is added
so the verifier is able to deduce proper return types for the helper.
Different from the previous BTF_ID based helpers,
the bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() argument can be several possible
btf_ids. More specifically, all possible socket data structures
with sock_common appearing in the first in the memory layout.
This patch only added socket types related to tcp and udp.
All possible argument btf_id and return value btf_id
for helper bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() are pre-calculcated and
cached. In the future, it is even possible to precompute
these btf_id's at kernel build time.

Minor improvements to the documentation for BPF helpers:
* Fix formatting for the description of "bpf_socket" for
bpf_getsockopt() and bpf_setsockopt(), thus suppressing two warnings
from rst2man about "Unexpected indentation".
* Fix formatting for return values for bpf_sk_assign() and seq_file
helpers.
* Fix and harmonise formatting, in particular for function/struct names.
* Remove blank lines before "Return:" sections.
* Replace tabs found in the middle of text lines.
* Fix typos.
* Add a note to the footer (in Python script) about "bpftool feature

Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for
writing data to the seq_file buffer.
bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type
fields so at least I can get identical results for
netlink and ipv6_route targets.
For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW
specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which
means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation
if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object
collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is
done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not
be visited.
For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to
read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in
the following two cases:
- invalid kernel address, or
- valid kernel address but requiring a major fault
If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be
an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0.
Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with
what bpf_trace_printk() does for now.
bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu
buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is
not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it
wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not
happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards
bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

The script broke on parsing function prototype for bpf_strtoul(). This
is because the last argument for the function is a pointer to an
"unsigned long". The current version of the script only accepts "const"
and "struct", but not "unsigned", at the beginning of argument types
made of several words.
One solution could be to add "unsigned" to the list, but the issue could
come up again in the future (what about "long int"?). It turns out we do
not need to have such restrictions on the words: so let's simply accept
any series of words instead.

Documentation for eBPF helpers can be parsed from bpf.h and eventually
turned into a man page. Commit 6f96674dbd ("bpf: relax constraints on
formatting for eBPF helper documentation") changed the script used to
parse it, in order to allow for different indent style and to ease the
work for writing documentation for future helpers.
The script currently considers that the first tab can be replaced by 6
to 8 spaces. But the documentation for bpf_fib_lookup() uses a mix of
tabs (for the "Description" part) and of spaces ("Return" part), and
only has 5 space long indent for the latter.
We probably do not want to change the values accepted by the script each
time a new helper gets a new indent style. However, it is worth noting
that with those 5 spaces, the "Description" and "Return" part *look*
aligned in the generated patch and in `git show`, so it is likely other
helper authors will use the same length. Therefore, allow for helper
documentation to use 5 spaces only for the first indent level.

The Python script used to parse and extract eBPF helpers documentation
from include/uapi/linux/bpf.h expects a very specific formatting for the
descriptions (single dot represents a space, '>' stands for a tab):
/*
...
*.int bpf_helper(list of arguments)
*.> Description
*.> > Start of description
*.> > Another line of description
*.> > And yet another line of description
*.> Return
*.> > 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure
...
*/
This is too strict, and painful for developers who wants to add
documentation for new helpers. Worse, it is extremely difficult to check
that the formatting is correct during reviews. Change the format
expected by the script and make it more flexible. The script now works
whether or not the initial space (right after the star) is present, and
accepts both tabs and white spaces (or a combination of both) for
indenting description sections and contents.
Concretely, something like the following would now be supported:
/*
...
*int bpf_helper(list of arguments)
*......Description
*.> > Start of description...
*> > Another line of description
*..............And yet another line of description
*> Return
*.> ........0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure
...
*/
While at it, remove unnecessary carets from each regex used with match()
in the script. They are redundant, as match() tries to match from the
beginning of the string by default.

Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header.
Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation
(to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then
man page documentation.
Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to
process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to
turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man
to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>"
option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root
directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to
parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot
find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted
documentation is printed to standard output.
Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be:
$ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \
--filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst
$ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7
$ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7
Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers,
whose signatures are not available directly in the header files
(pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of
the compilation process).
v4:
- Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and
bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state().
- Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL
programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer.
- Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script.
v3:
- Change license for man page.
- Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text.
- Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text.
- Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead.
- Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer.
- Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer.
- Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.
