Introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for map_lookup and map_update syscall commands
and for map_update() helper function.
In all these cases take a lock of existing element (which was provided
in BTF description) before copying (in or out) the rest of map value.

Implementation details that are part of uapi:

Array:
The array map takes the element lock for lookup/update.

Hash:
hash map also takes the lock for lookup/update and tries to avoid the bucket lock.
If old element exists it takes the element lock and updates the element in place.
If element doesn't exist it allocates new one and inserts into hash table
while holding the bucket lock.
In rare case the hashmap has to take both the bucket lock and the element lock
to update old value in place.

Cgroup local storage:
It is similar to array. update in place and lookup are done with lock taken.

<title>bpf: introduce bpf_spin_lock</title>

<id>d83525ca62cf8ebe3271d14c36fb900c294274a2</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce 'struct bpf_spin_lock' and bpf_spin_lock/unlock() helpers to let
bpf program serialize access to other variables.

Example:
struct hash_elem {
    int cnt;
    struct bpf_spin_lock lock;
};
struct hash_elem * val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&amp;hash_map, &amp;key);
if (val) {
    bpf_spin_lock(&amp;val-&gt;lock);
    val-&gt;cnt++;
    bpf_spin_unlock(&amp;val-&gt;lock);
}

Restrictions and safety checks:
- bpf_spin_lock is only allowed inside HASH and ARRAY maps.
- BTF description of the map is mandatory for safety analysis.
- bpf program can take one bpf_spin_lock at a time, since two or more can
  cause dead locks.
- only one 'struct bpf_spin_lock' is allowed per map element.
  It drastically simplifies implementation yet allows bpf program to use
  any number of bpf_spin_locks.
- when bpf_spin_lock is taken the calls (either bpf2bpf or helpers) are not allowed.
- bpf program must bpf_spin_unlock() before return.
- bpf program can access 'struct bpf_spin_lock' only via
  bpf_spin_lock()/bpf_spin_unlock() helpers.
- load/store into 'struct bpf_spin_lock lock;' field is not allowed.
- to use bpf_spin_lock() helper the BTF description of map value must be
  a struct and have 'struct bpf_spin_lock anyname;' field at the top level.
  Nested lock inside another struct is not allowed.
- syscall map_lookup doesn't copy bpf_spin_lock field to user space.
- syscall map_update and program map_update do not update bpf_spin_lock field.
- bpf_spin_lock cannot be on the stack or inside networking packet.
  bpf_spin_lock can only be inside HASH or ARRAY map value.
- bpf_spin_lock is available to root only and to all program types.
- bpf_spin_lock is not allowed in inner maps of map-in-map.
- ld_abs is not allowed inside spin_lock-ed region.
- tracing progs and socket filter progs cannot use bpf_spin_lock due to
  insufficient preemption checks

Implementation details:
- cgroup-bpf class of programs can nest with xdp/tc programs.
  Hence bpf_spin_lock is equivalent to spin_lock_irqsave.
  Other solutions to avoid nested bpf_spin_lock are possible.
  Like making sure that all networking progs run with softirq disabled.
  spin_lock_irqsave is the simplest and doesn't add overhead to the
  programs that don't use it.
- arch_spinlock_t is used when its implemented as queued_spin_lock
- archs can force their own arch_spinlock_t
- on architectures where queued_spin_lock is not available and
  sizeof(arch_spinlock_t) != sizeof(__u32) trivial lock is used.
- presence of bpf_spin_lock inside map value could have been indicated via
  extra flag during map_create, but specifying it via BTF is cleaner.
  It provides introspection for map key/value and reduces user mistakes.

Next steps:
- allow bpf_spin_lock in other map types (like cgroup local storage)
- introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for bpf_map_update() syscall and helper
  to request kernel to grab bpf_spin_lock before rewriting the value.
  That will serialize access to map elements.

If key_type or value_type are of non-trivial data types
(e.g. structure or typedef), it's not possible to check them without
the additional information, which can't be obtained without a pointer
to the btf structure.

So, let's pass btf pointer to the map_check_btf() callbacks.

<content type='text'>
Added bpffs pretty print for program array map. For a particular
array index, if the program array points to a valid program,
the "&lt;index&gt;: &lt;prog_id&gt;" will be printed out like
   0: 6
which means bpf program with id "6" is installed at index "0".

<content type='text'>
Added bpffs pretty print for percpu arraymap, percpu hashmap
and percpu lru hashmap.

For each map &lt;key, value&gt; pair, the format is:
   &lt;key_value&gt;: {
	cpu0: &lt;value_on_cpu0&gt;
	cpu1: &lt;value_on_cpu1&gt;
	...
	cpun: &lt;value_on_cpun&gt;
   }

For example, on my VM, there are 4 cpus, and
for test_btf test in the next patch:
   cat /sys/fs/bpf/pprint_test_percpu_hash

You may get:
   ...
   43602: {
	cpu0: {43602,0,-43602,0x3,0xaa52,0x3,{43602|[82,170,0,0,0,0,0,0]},ENUM_TWO}

<title>bpf: decouple btf from seq bpf fs dump and enable more maps</title>

Commit a26ca7c982cb ("bpf: btf: Add pretty print support to
the basic arraymap") and 699c86d6ec21 ("bpf: btf: add pretty
print for hash/lru_hash maps") enabled support for BTF and
dumping via BPF fs for array and hash/lru map. However, both
can be decoupled from each other such that regular BPF maps
can be supported for attaching BTF key/value information,
while not all maps necessarily need to dump via map_seq_show_elem()
callback.

The basic sanity check which is a prerequisite for all maps
is that key/value size has to match in any case, and some maps
can have extra checks via map_check_btf() callback, e.g.
probing certain types or indicating no support in general. With
that we can also enable retrieving BTF info for per-cpu map
types and lpm.

This patch introduces a new map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY.

To unleash the full potential of a bpf prog, it is essential for the
userspace to be capable of directly setting up a bpf map which can then
be consumed by the bpf prog to make decision.  In this case, decide which
SO_REUSEPORT sk to serve the incoming request.

By adding BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY, the userspace has total control
and visibility on where a SO_REUSEPORT sk should be located in a bpf map.
The later patch will introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_REUSEPORT such that
the bpf prog can directly select a sk from the bpf map.  That will
raise the programmability of the bpf prog attached to a reuseport
group (a group of sk serving the same IP:PORT).

For example, in UDP, the bpf prog can peek into the payload (e.g.
through the "data" pointer introduced in the later patch) to learn
the application level's connection information and then decide which sk
to pick from a bpf map.  The userspace can tightly couple the sk's location
in a bpf map with the application logic in generating the UDP payload's
connection information.  This connection info contact/API stays within the
userspace.

Also, when used with map-in-map, the userspace can switch the
old-server-process's inner map to a new-server-process's inner map
in one call "bpf_map_update_elem(outer_map, &amp;index, &amp;new_reuseport_array)".
The bpf prog will then direct incoming requests to the new process instead
of the old process.  The old process can finish draining the pending
requests (e.g. by "accept()") before closing the old-fds.  [Note that
deleting a fd from a bpf map does not necessary mean the fd is closed]

During map_update_elem(),
Only SO_REUSEPORT sk (i.e. which has already been added
to a reuse-&gt;socks[]) can be used.  That means a SO_REUSEPORT sk that is
"bind()" for UDP or "bind()+listen()" for TCP.  These conditions are
ensured in "reuseport_array_update_check()".

A SO_REUSEPORT sk can only be added once to a map (i.e. the
same sk cannot be added twice even to the same map).  SO_REUSEPORT
already allows another sk to be created for the same IP:PORT.
There is no need to re-create a similar usage in the BPF side.

When a SO_REUSEPORT is deleted from the "reuse-&gt;socks[]" (e.g. "close()"),
it will notify the bpf map to remove it from the map also.  It is
done through "bpf_sk_reuseport_detach()" and it will only be called
if &gt;=1 of the "reuse-&gt;sock[]" has ever been added to a bpf map.

The map_update()/map_delete() has to be in-sync with the
"reuse-&gt;socks[]".  Hence, the same "reuseport_lock" used
by "reuse-&gt;socks[]" has to be used here also. Care has
been taken to ensure the lock is only acquired when the
adding sk passes some strict tests. and
freeing the map does not require the reuseport_lock.

The reuseport_array will also support lookup from the syscall
side.  It will return a sock_gen_cookie().  The sock_gen_cookie()
is on-demand (i.e. a sk's cookie is not generated until the very
first map_lookup_elem()).

The lookup cookie is 64bits but it goes against the logical userspace
expectation on 32bits sizeof(fd) (and as other fd based bpf maps do also).
It may catch user in surprise if we enforce value_size=8 while
userspace still pass a 32bits fd during update.  Supporting different
value_size between lookup and update seems unintuitive also.

We also need to consider what if other existing fd based maps want
to return 64bits value from syscall's lookup in the future.
Hence, reuseport_array supports both value_size 4 and 8, and
assuming user will usually use value_size=4.  The syscall's lookup
will return ENOSPC on value_size=4.  It will will only
return 64bits value from sock_gen_cookie() when user consciously
choose value_size=8 (as a signal that lookup is desired) which then
requires a 64bits value in both lookup and update.

<title>bpf: btf: Use exact btf value_size match in map_check_btf()</title>

The current map_check_btf() in BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY rejects
'&gt; map-&gt;value_size' to ensure map_seq_show_elem() will not
access things beyond an array element.

Yonghong suggested that using '!=' is a more correct
check.  The 8 bytes round_up on value_size is stored
in array-&gt;elem_size.  Hence, using '!=' on map-&gt;value_size
is a proper check.

This patch also adds new tests to check the btf array
key type and value type.  Two of these new tests verify
the btf's value_size (the change in this patch).

It also fixes two existing tests that wrongly encoded
a btf's type size (pprint_test) and the value_type_id (in one
of the raw_tests[]).  However, that do not affect these two
BTF verification tests before or after this test changes.
These two tests mainly failed at array creation time after
this patch.

In "struct bpf_map_info", the name "btf_id", "btf_key_id" and "btf_value_id"
could cause confusion because the "id" of "btf_id" means the BPF obj id
given to the BTF object while
"btf_key_id" and "btf_value_id" means the BTF type id within
that BTF object.

To make it clear, btf_key_id and btf_value_id are
renamed to btf_key_type_id and btf_value_type_id.
