Commit 16f5dfbc851b ("gfp: include __GFP_NOWARN in GFP_NOWAIT")
made GFP_NOWAIT implicitly include __GFP_NOWARN.

Therefore, explicit __GFP_NOWARN combined with GFP_NOWAIT
(e.g., `GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN`) is now redundant. Let's clean
up these redundant flags across subsystems.

No functional changes.

There are places in BPF code which check if a BTF type is an integer
of particular size. This code can be made simpler by using helpers.
Add new btf_type_is_i{32,64} helpers, and simplify code in a few
files. (Suggested by Eduard for a patch which copy-pasted such a
check [1].)

  v1 -&gt; v2:
    * export less generic helpers (Eduard)
    * make subject less generic than in [v1] (Eduard)

Single line breaks should occasionally be put into a sequence.
Thus use the corresponding function “seq_putc”.

This issue was transformed by using the Coccinelle software.

<title>bpf: return long from bpf_map_ops funcs</title>

<id>d7ba4cc900bf1eea2d8c807c6b1fc6bd61f41237</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes the return types of bpf_map_ops functions to long, where
previously int was returned. Using long allows for bpf programs to maintain
the sign bit in the absence of sign extension during situations where
inlined bpf helper funcs make calls to the bpf_map_ops funcs and a negative
error is returned.

The definitions of the helper funcs are generated from comments in the bpf
uapi header at `include/uapi/linux/bpf.h`. The return type of these
helpers was previously changed from int to long in commit bdb7b79b4ce8. For
any case where one of the map helpers call the bpf_map_ops funcs that are
still returning 32-bit int, a compiler might not include sign extension
instructions to properly convert the 32-bit negative value a 64-bit
negative value.

For example:
bpf assembly excerpt of an inlined helper calling a kernel function and
checking for a specific error:

; err = bpf_map_update_elem(&amp;mymap, &amp;key, &amp;val, BPF_NOEXIST);
  ...
  46:	call   0xffffffffe103291c	; htab_map_update_elem
; if (err &amp;&amp; err != -EEXIST) {
  4b:	cmp    $0xffffffffffffffef,%rax ; cmp -EEXIST,%rax

kernel function assembly excerpt of return value from
`htab_map_update_elem` returning 32-bit int:

movl $0xffffffef, %r9d
...
movl %r9d, %eax

...results in the comparison:
cmp $0xffffffffffffffef, $0x00000000ffffffef

A new helper is introduced to calculate local_storage map memory usage.
Currently the dynamically allocated elements are not counted, since it
will take runtime overhead in the element update or delete path. So
let's put it aside currently, and implement it in the future if the user
really needs it.

<title>bpf: Consolidate spin_lock, timer management into btf_record</title>

Now that kptr_off_tab has been refactored into btf_record, and can hold
more than one specific field type, accomodate bpf_spin_lock and
bpf_timer as well.

While they don't require any more metadata than offset, having all
special fields in one place allows us to share the same code for
allocated user defined types and handle both map values and these
allocated objects in a similar fashion.

As an optimization, we still keep spin_lock_off and timer_off offsets in
the btf_record structure, just to avoid having to find the btf_field
struct each time their offset is needed. This is mostly needed to
manipulate such objects in a map value at runtime. It's ok to hardcode
just one offset as more than one field is disallowed.

Some of the bpf maps are created with __GFP_NOWARN, i.e. arraymap,
bloom_filter, bpf_local_storage, bpf_struct_ops, lpm_trie,
queue_stack_maps, reuseport_array, stackmap and xskmap, while others are
created without __GFP_NOWARN, i.e. cpumap, devmap, hashtab,
local_storage, offload, ringbuf and sock_map. But there are not key
differences between the creation of these maps. So let make this
allocation flag consistent in all bpf maps creation. Then we can use a
generic helper to alloc all bpf maps.

Some of the bpf maps are created with __GFP_NOWARN, i.e. arraymap,
bloom_filter, bpf_local_storage, bpf_struct_ops, lpm_trie,
queue_stack_maps, reuseport_array, stackmap and xskmap, while others are
created without __GFP_NOWARN, i.e. cpumap, devmap, hashtab,
local_storage, offload, ringbuf and sock_map. But there are not key
differences between the creation of these maps. So let make this
allocation flag consistent in all bpf maps creation. Then we can use a
generic helper to alloc all bpf maps.
