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

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.

Introduce BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flag support for percpu_cgroup_storage maps to
allow updating values for all CPUs with a single value for update_elem
API.

Introduce BPF_F_CPU flag support for percpu_cgroup_storage maps to
allow:

* update value for specified CPU for update_elem API.
* lookup value for specified CPU for lookup_elem API.

The BPF_F_CPU flag is passed via map_flags along with embedded cpu info.

Copy map value using 'copy_map_value_long()'. It's to keep consistent
style with the way of other percpu maps.

No functional change intended.

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)

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.
