<title>bpf: Lose const-ness of map in map_check_btf()</title>

<content type='text'>
BPF hash map may now use the map_check_btf() callback to decide whether
to set a dtor on its bpf_mem_alloc or not. Unlike C++ where members can
opt out of const-ness using mutable, we must lose the const qualifier on
the callback such that we can avoid the ugly cast. Make the change and
adjust all existing users, and lose the comment in hashtab.c.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Introduce support for the BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flag in percpu_array maps to
allow updating values for all CPUs with a single value for both
update_elem and update_batch APIs.

Introduce support for the BPF_F_CPU flag in percpu_array maps to allow:

* update value for specified CPU for both update_elem and update_batch
APIs.
* lookup value for specified CPU for both lookup_elem and lookup_batch
APIs.

The BPF_F_CPU flag is passed via:

* map_flags of lookup_elem and update_elem APIs along with embedded cpu
info.
* elem_flags of lookup_batch and update_batch APIs along with embedded
cpu info.

The kernel/bpf/array.c file defines the array_map_get_next_key()
function which finds the next key for array maps. It actually doesn't
use any map fields besides the generic max_entries field. Generalize
it, and export as bpf_array_get_next_key() such that it can be
re-used by other array-like maps.

<title>bpf: Extract internal structs validation logic into helpers</title>

<content type='text'>
The arraymap and hashtab duplicate the logic that checks for and frees
internal structs (timer, workqueue, task_work) based on
BTF record flags. Centralize this by introducing two helpers:

  * bpf_map_has_internal_structs(map)
    Returns true if the map value contains any of internal structs:
    BPF_TIMER | BPF_WORKQUEUE | BPF_TASK_WORK.

  * bpf_map_free_internal_structs(map, obj)
    Frees the internal structs for a single value object.

Convert arraymap and both the prealloc/malloc hashtab paths to use the
new generic functions. This keeps the functionality for when/how to free
these special fields in one place and makes it easier to add support for
new internal structs in the future without touching every map
implementation.

This patch adds necessary plumbing in verifier, syscall and maps to
support handling new kfunc bpf_task_work_schedule and kernel structure
bpf_task_work. The idea is similar to how we already handle bpf_wq and
bpf_timer.
verifier changes validate calls to bpf_task_work_schedule to make sure
it is safe and expected invariants hold.
btf part is required to detect bpf_task_work structure inside map value
and store its offset, which will be used in the next patch to calculate
key and value addresses.
arraymap and hashtab changes are needed to handle freeing of the
bpf_task_work: run code needed to deinitialize it, for example cancel
task_work callback if possible.
The use of bpf_task_work and proper implementation for kfuncs are
introduced in the next patch.

Currently only array maps are supported, but the implementation can be
extended for other maps and objects. The hash is memoized only for
exclusive and frozen maps as their content is stable until the exclusive
program modifies the map.

This is required for BPF signing, enabling a trusted loader program to
verify a map's integrity. The loader retrieves
the map's runtime hash from the kernel and compares it against an
expected hash computed at build time.

BPF program may call bpf_for_each_map_elem(), and it will call
the -&gt;map_for_each_callback callback of related bpf map. Considering the
running context of bpf program has already disabled migration, remove
the unnecessary migrate_{disable|enable} pair in the implementations of
-&gt;map_for_each_callback. To ensure the guarantee will not be voilated
later, also add cant_migrate() check in the implementations.

BPF program may call bpf_for_each_map_elem(), and it will call
the -&gt;map_for_each_callback callback of related bpf map. Considering the
running context of bpf program has already disabled migration, remove
the unnecessary migrate_{disable|enable} pair in the implementations of
-&gt;map_for_each_callback. To ensure the guarantee will not be voilated
later, also add cant_migrate() check in the implementations.
