This change adds support on the kernel side to allow for BPF programs to call kernel module functions. Userspace will prepare an array of module BTF fds that is passed in during BPF_PROG_LOAD using fd_array parameter. In the kernel, the module BTFs are placed in the auxilliary struct for bpf_prog, and loaded as needed. The verifier then uses insn->off to index into the fd_array. insn->off 0 is reserved for vmlinux BTF (for backwards compat), so userspace must use an fd_array index > 0 for module kfunc support. kfunc_btf_tab is sorted based on offset in an array, and each offset corresponds to one descriptor, with a max limit up to 256 such module BTFs. We also change existing kfunc_tab to distinguish each element based on imm, off pair as each such call will now be distinct. Another change is to check_kfunc_call callback, which now include a struct module * pointer, this is to be used in later patch such that the kfunc_id and module pointer are matched for dynamically registered BTF sets from loadable modules, so that same kfunc_id in two modules doesn't lead to check_kfunc_call succeeding. For the duration of the check_kfunc_call, the reference to struct module exists, as it returns the pointer stored in kfunc_btf_tab.

README
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.
