This commit marks kfuncs as such inside the .BTF_ids section. The upshot
of these annotations is that we'll be able to automatically generate
kfunc prototypes for downstream users. The process is as follows:

1. In source, use BTF_KFUNCS_START/END macro pair to mark kfuncs
2. During build, pahole injects into BTF a "bpf_kfunc" BTF_DECL_TAG for
   each function inside BTF_KFUNCS sets
3. At runtime, vmlinux or module BTF is made available in sysfs
4. At runtime, bpftool (or similar) can look at provided BTF and
   generate appropriate prototypes for functions with "bpf_kfunc" tag

To ensure future kfunc are similarly tagged, we now also return error
inside kfunc registration for untagged kfuncs. For vmlinux kfuncs,
we also WARN(), as initcall machinery does not handle errors.

Instead of populating multiple sets to indicate some attribute and then
researching the same BTF ID in them, prepare a single unified BTF set
which indicates whether a kfunc is allowed to be called, and also its
attributes if any at the same time. Now, only one call is needed to
perform the lookup for both kfunc availability and its attributes.

hystart_ack_delay() had the assumption that a TSO packet
would not be bigger than GSO_MAX_SIZE.

This will no longer be true.

We should use sk-&gt;sk_gso_max_size instead.

This reduces chances of spurious Hystart ACK train detections.

We had various bugs over the years with code
breaking the assumption that tp-&gt;snd_cwnd is greater
than zero.

Lately, syzbot reported the WARN_ON_ONCE(!tp-&gt;prior_cwnd) added
in commit 8b8a321ff72c ("tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction")
can trigger, and without a repro we would have to spend
considerable time finding the bug.

Instead of complaining too late, we want to catch where
and when tp-&gt;snd_cwnd is set to an illegal value.

<title>bpf: Remove check_kfunc_call callback and old kfunc BTF ID API</title>

Completely remove the old code for check_kfunc_call to help it work
with modules, and also the callback itself.

The previous commit adds infrastructure to register all sets and put
them in vmlinux or module BTF, and concatenates all related sets
organized by the hook and the type. Once populated, these sets remain
immutable for the lifetime of the struct btf.

Also, since we don't need the 'owner' module anywhere when doing
check_kfunc_call, drop the 'btf_modp' module parameter from
find_kfunc_desc_btf.

<title>tcp_cubic: fix spurious Hystart ACK train detections for not-cwnd-limited flows</title>

<id>4e1fddc98d2585ddd4792b5e44433dcee7ece001</id>
<content type='text'>
While testing BIG TCP patch series, I was expecting that TCP_RR workloads
with 80KB requests/answers would send one 80KB TSO packet,
then being received as a single GRO packet.

It turns out this was not happening, and the root cause was that
cubic Hystart ACK train was triggering after a few (2 or 3) rounds of RPC.

Hystart was wrongly setting CWND/SSTHRESH to 30, while my RPC
needed a budget of ~20 segments.

Ideally these TCP_RR flows should not exit slow start.

Cubic Hystart should reset itself at each round, instead of assuming
every TCP flow is a bulk one.

Note that even after this patch, Hystart can still trigger, depending
on scheduling artifacts, but at a higher CWND/SSTHRESH threshold,
keeping optimal TSO packet sizes.

Tested:

ip link set dev eth0 gro_ipv6_max_size 131072 gso_ipv6_max_size 131072
nstat -n; netperf -H ... -t TCP_RR  -l 5  -- -r 80000,80000 -K cubic; nstat|egrep "Ip6InReceives|Hystart|Ip6OutRequests"

Before:

   8605
Ip6InReceives                   87541              0.0
Ip6OutRequests                  129496             0.0

This commit moves BTF ID lookup into the newly added registration
helper, in a way that the bbr, cubic, and dctcp implementation set up
their sets in the bpf_tcp_ca kfunc_btf_set list, while the ones not
dependent on modules are looked up from the wrapper function.

This lifts the restriction for them to be compiled as built in objects,
and can be loaded as modules if required. Also modify Makefile.modfinal
to call resolve_btfids for each module.

Note that since kernel kfunc_ids never overlap with module kfunc_ids, we
only match the owner for module btf id sets.

 CONFIG_X86 ifdef:
 569c484f9995 (bpf: Limit static tcp-cc functions in the .BTF_ids list to x86)

<content type='text'>
The cubic functions in tcp_cubic.c are using the bictcp prefix as
in tcp_bic.c.  This patch gives it the proper name cubictcp
because the later patch will allow the bpf prog to directly
call the cubictcp implementation.  Renaming them will avoid
the name collision when trying to find the intended
one to call during bpf prog load time.

The cubic functions in tcp_cubic.c are using the bictcp prefix as
in tcp_bic.c.  This patch gives it the proper name cubictcp
because the later patch will allow the bpf prog to directly
call the cubictcp implementation.  Renaming them will avoid
the name collision when trying to find the intended
one to call during bpf prog load time.

In bictcp_reset(), use memset and offsetof instead of = 0.
