bpf: Support associating BPF program with struct_ops
Add a new BPF command BPF_PROG_ASSOC_STRUCT_OPS to allow associating
a BPF program with a struct_ops map. This command takes a file
descriptor of a struct_ops map and a BPF program and set
prog->aux->st_ops_assoc to the kdata of the struct_ops map.
The command does not accept a struct_ops program or a non-struct_ops
map. Programs of a struct_ops map is automatically associated with the
map during map update. If a program is shared between two struct_ops
maps, prog->aux->st_ops_assoc will be poisoned to indicate that the
associated struct_ops is ambiguous. The pointer, once poisoned, cannot
be reset since we have lost track of associated struct_ops. For other
program types, the associated struct_ops map, once set, cannot be
changed later. This restriction may be lifted in the future if there is
a use case.
A kernel helper bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops() can be used to retrieve
the associated struct_ops pointer. The pointer returned, if not NULL, is
guaranteed to be valid and point to a fully updated struct_ops struct.
This is done by increasing the refcount of the map for every associated
non-struct_ops programs. For struct_ops program reused in multiple
struct_ops map, the return will be NULL. struct_ops implementers should
note that the struct_ops returned may or may not be attached. The
struct_ops implementer will be responsible for tracking and checking the
state of the associated struct_ops map if the use case requires an
attached struct_ops.
