Remove bpf_ prefix, which causes these helpers to be reported in verifier
dump as bpf_bpf_this_cpu_ptr() and bpf_bpf_per_cpu_ptr(), respectively. Lets
fix it as long as it is still possible before UAPI freezes on these helpers.

While eBPF programs can check whether a file is a socket by file-&gt;f_op
== &amp;socket_file_ops, they cannot convert the void private_data pointer
to a struct socket BTF pointer. In order to do this a new helper
wrapping sock_from_file is added.

This is useful to tracing programs but also other program types
inheriting this set of helpers such as iterators or LSM programs.

Add ability for user-space programs to specify non-vmlinux BTF when attaching
BTF-powered BPF programs: raw_tp, fentry/fexit/fmod_ret, LSM, etc. For this,
attach_prog_fd (now with the alias name attach_btf_obj_fd) should specify FD
of a module or vmlinux BTF object. For backwards compatibility reasons,
0 denotes vmlinux BTF. Only kernel BTF (vmlinux or module) can be specified.

Provide a wrapper function to get the IMA hash of an inode. This helper
is useful in fingerprinting files (e.g executables on execution) and
using these fingerprints in detections like an executable unlinking
itself.

Since the ima_inode_hash can sleep, it's only allowed for sleepable
LSM hooks.

The helper uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE source of time that is less
accurate but more performant.

We have a BPF CGROUP_SKB firewall that supports event logging through
bpf_perf_event_output(). Each event has a timestamp and currently we use
bpf_ktime_get_ns() for it. Use of bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns() saves ~15-20
ns in time required for event logging.

The helper allows modification of certain bits on the linux_binprm
struct starting with the secureexec bit which can be updated using the
BPF_F_BPRM_SECUREEXEC flag.

secureexec can be set by the LSM for privilege gaining executions to set
the AT_SECURE auxv for glibc.  When set, the dynamic linker disables the
use of certain environment variables (like LD_PRELOAD).

<title>bpf: Assign ID to vmlinux BTF and return extra info for BTF in GET_OBJ_INFO</title>

Allocate ID for vmlinux BTF. This makes it visible when iterating over all BTF
objects in the system. To allow distinguishing vmlinux BTF (and later kernel
module BTF) from user-provided BTFs, expose extra kernel_btf flag, as well as
BTF name ("vmlinux" for vmlinux BTF, will equal to module's name for module
BTF).  We might want to later allow specifying BTF name for user-provided BTFs
as well, if that makes sense. But currently this is reserved only for
in-kernel BTFs.

Having in-kernel BTFs exposed IDs will allow to extend BPF APIs that require
in-kernel BTF type with ability to specify BTF types from kernel modules, not
just vmlinux BTF. This will be implemented in a follow up patch set for
fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm/etc.

Having in-kernel BTFs exposed IDs will allow to extend BPF APIs that require
in-kernel BTF type with ability to specify BTF types from kernel modules, not
just vmlinux BTF. This will be implemented in a follow up patch set for
fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm/etc.

The currently available bpf_get_current_task returns an unsigned integer
which can be used along with BPF_CORE_READ to read data from
the task_struct but still cannot be used as an input argument to a
helper that accepts an ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID of type task_struct.

In order to implement this helper a new return type, RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID,
is added. This is similar to RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL but does not
require checking the nullness of returned pointer.
