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.

<title>bpf: fix bpffs non-array map seq_show issue</title>

In function map_seq_next() of kernel/bpf/inode.c,
the first key will be the "0" regardless of the map type.
This works for array. But for hash type, if it happens
key "0" is in the map, the bpffs map show will miss
some items if the key "0" is not the first element of
the first bucket.

This patch fixed the issue by guaranteeing to get
the first element, if the seq_show is just started,
by passing NULL pointer key to map_get_next_key() callback.
This way, no missing elements will occur for
bpffs hash table show even if key "0" is in the map.

Problem was that prog and map inodes in bpf fs did not
implement a dummy file open operation that would return an
error. The patch in do_dentry_open() checks whether f_ops
are present and if not bails out with an error. While this
may be fine, we really shouldn't be throwing a warning
though. Thus follow the model similar to bad_file_ops and
reject the request unconditionally with -EIO.

tracepoints to bpf core were added as a way to provide introspection
to bpf programs and maps, but after some time it became clear that
this approach is inadequate, so prog_id, map_id and corresponding
get_next_id, get_fd_by_id, get_info_by_fd, prog_query APIs were
introduced and fully adopted by bpftool and other applications.
The tracepoints in bpf core started to rot and causing syzbot warnings:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3008 at kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c:274

<title>bpf: btf: Add pretty print support to the basic arraymap</title>

<name>Martin KaFai Lau</name>

<id>a26ca7c982cb576749cbdd01e8ecde4bf010d60a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds pretty print support to the basic arraymap.
Support for other bpf maps can be added later.

This patch adds new attrs to the BPF_MAP_CREATE command to allow
specifying the btf_fd, btf_key_id and btf_value_id.  The
BPF_MAP_CREATE can then associate the btf to the map if
the creating map supports BTF.

A BTF supported map needs to implement two new map ops,
map_seq_show_elem() and map_check_btf().  This patch has
implemented these new map ops for the basic arraymap.

It also adds file_operations, bpffs_map_fops, to the pinned
map such that the pinned map can be opened and read.
After that, the user has an intuitive way to do
"cat bpffs/pathto/a-pinned-map" instead of getting
an error.

bpffs_map_fops should not be extended further to support
other operations.  Other operations (e.g. write/key-lookup...)
should be realized by the userspace tools (e.g. bpftool) through
the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD, map's lookup/update interface...etc.
Follow up patches will allow the userspace to obtain
the BTF from a map-fd.

Here is a sample output when reading a pinned arraymap
with the following map's value:

struct map_value {
	int count_a;
	int count_b;
};

cat /sys/fs/bpf/pinned_array_map:

0: {1,2}
1: {3,4}
2: {5,6}
...

<title>bpf: comment why dots in filenames under BPF virtual FS are not allowed</title>

<id>6d8cb045cde681e64a5ed80a2ab70be831a7f9b0</id>
<content type='text'>
When pinning a file under the BPF virtual file system (traditionally
/sys/fs/bpf), using a dot in the name of the location to pin at is not
allowed. For example, trying to pin at "/sys/fs/bpf/foo.bar" will be
rejected with -EPERM.

This check was introduced at the same time as the BPF file system
itself, with commit b2197755b263 ("bpf: add support for persistent
maps/progs"). At this time, it was checked in a function called
"bpf_dname_reserved()", which made clear that using a dot was reserved
for future extensions.

This function disappeared and the check was moved elsewhere with commit
0c93b7d85d40 ("bpf: reject invalid names right in -&gt;lookup()"), and the
meaning of the dot ban was lost.

The present commit simply adds a comment in the source to explain to the
reader that the usage of dots is reserved for future usage.

Descriptor table is a shared object; it's not a place where you can
stick temporary references to files, especially when we don't need
an opened file at all.

Introduce the map read/write flags to the eBPF syscalls that returns the
map fd. The flags is used to set up the file mode when construct a new
file descriptor for bpf maps. To not break the backward capability, the
f_flags is set to O_RDWR if the flag passed by syscall is 0. Otherwise
it should be O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY. When the userspace want to modify or
read the map content, it will check the file mode to see if it is
allowed to make the change.
