Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the
owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to
handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped
mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks
are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is
passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped
mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the
fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

The two helpers inode_permission() and generic_permission() are used by
the vfs to perform basic permission checking by verifying that the
caller is privileged over an inode. In order to handle idmapped mounts
we extend the two helpers with an additional user namespace argument.
On idmapped mounts the two helpers will make sure to map the inode
according to the mount's user namespace and then peform identical
permission checks to inode_permission() and generic_permission(). If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

<content type='text'>
Add two simple helpers to check permissions on a file and path
respectively and convert over some callers. It simplifies quite a few
codepaths and also reduces the churn in later patches quite a bit.
Christoph also correctly points out that this makes codepaths (e.g.
ioctls) way easier to follow that would otherwise have to do more
complex argument passing than necessary.

Two minor conflicts:

1) net/ipv4/route.c, adding a new local variable while
   moving another local variable and removing it's
   initial assignment.

2) drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz9477.c, overlapping changes.
   One pretty prints the port mode differently, whilst another
   changes the driver to try and obtain the port mode from
   the port node rather than the switch node.

<title>bpf: Add kernel module with user mode driver that populates bpffs.</title>

<id>d71fa5c9763c24dd997a2fa4feb7a13a95bab42c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add kernel module with user mode driver that populates bpffs with
BPF iterators.

$ mount bpffs /my/bpffs/ -t bpf
$ ls -la /my/bpffs/
total 4
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jul  2 00:09 ..
-rw-------  1 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 maps.debug
-rw-------  1 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 progs.debug

The user mode driver will load BPF Type Formats, create BPF maps, populate BPF
maps, load two BPF programs, attach them to BPF iterators, and finally send two
bpf_link IDs back to the kernel.
The kernel will pin two bpf_links into newly mounted bpffs instance under
names "progs.debug" and "maps.debug". These two files become human readable.

$ cat /my/bpffs/progs.debug
  id name            attached
  11 dump_bpf_map    bpf_iter_bpf_map
  12 dump_bpf_prog   bpf_iter_bpf_prog
  27 test_pkt_access
  32 test_main       test_pkt_access test_pkt_access
  33 test_subprog1   test_pkt_access_subprog1 test_pkt_access
  34 test_subprog2   test_pkt_access_subprog2 test_pkt_access
  35 test_subprog3   test_pkt_access_subprog3 test_pkt_access
  36 new_get_skb_len get_skb_len test_pkt_access
  37 new_get_skb_ifindex get_skb_ifindex test_pkt_access
  38 new_get_constant get_constant test_pkt_access

The BPF program dump_bpf_prog() in iterators.bpf.c is printing this data about
all BPF programs currently loaded in the system. This information is unstable
and will change from kernel to kernel as ".debug" suffix conveys.

The BPF program dump_bpf_prog() in iterators.bpf.c is printing this data about
all BPF programs currently loaded in the system. This information is unstable
and will change from kernel to kernel as ".debug" suffix conveys.

To produce a file bpf iterator, the fd must be
corresponding to a link_fd assocciated with a
trace/iter program. When the pinned file is
opened, a seq_file will be generated.

<title>bpf: Introduce pinnable bpf_link abstraction</title>

Introduce bpf_link abstraction, representing an attachment of BPF program to
a BPF hook point (e.g., tracepoint, perf event, etc). bpf_link encapsulates
ownership of attached BPF program, reference counting of a link itself, when
reference from multiple anonymous inodes, as well as ensures that release
callback will be called from a process context, so that users can safely take
mutex locks and sleep.

Additionally, with a new abstraction it's now possible to generalize pinning
of a link object in BPF FS, allowing to explicitly prevent BPF program
detachment on process exit by pinning it in a BPF FS and let it open from
independent other process to keep working with it.

Convert two existing bpf_link-like objects (raw tracepoint and tracing BPF
program attachments) into utilizing bpf_link framework, making them pinnable
in BPF FS. More FD-based bpf_links will be added in follow up patches.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
 "Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
  of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
  the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
  every time something got added to that system-wide registry.

  New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
  namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
  they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
  useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
  to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.

  And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
  pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
  things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
  do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
  blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.

  Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
  lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"
