[ Upstream commit 936f8946bdb48239f4292812d4d2e26c6d328c95 ]

__bpf_free_used_maps() is always defined in kernel/bpf/core.c, while
include/linux/bpf.h is guarding it behind CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL. Move it out of
that guard region and fix compiler warning.

This moves the bpf_sock_from_file definition into net/core/filter.c
which only gets compiled with CONFIG_NET and also moves the helper proto
usage next to other tracing helpers that are conditional on CONFIG_NET.

This avoids

<title>bpf: Remove hard-coded btf_vmlinux assumption from BPF verifier</title>

<id>22dc4a0f5ed11b6dc8fd73a0892fa0ea1a4c3cdf</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove a permeating assumption thoughout BPF verifier of vmlinux BTF. Instead,
wherever BTF type IDs are involved, also track the instance of struct btf that
goes along with the type ID. This allows to gradually add support for kernel
module BTFs and using/tracking module types across BPF helper calls and
registers.

This patch also renames btf_id() function to btf_obj_id() to minimize naming
clash with using btf_id to denote BTF *type* ID, rather than BTF *object*'s ID.

Also, altough btf_vmlinux can't get destructed and thus doesn't need
refcounting, module BTFs need that, so apply BTF refcounting universally when
BPF program is using BTF-powered attachment (tp_btf, fentry/fexit, etc). This
makes for simpler clean up code.

Now that BTF type ID is not enough to uniquely identify a BTF type, extend BPF
trampoline key to include BTF object ID. To differentiate that from target
program BPF ID, set 31st bit of type ID. BTF type IDs (at least currently) are
not allowed to take full 32 bits, so there is no danger of confusing that bit
with a valid BTF type ID.

Remove rlimit-based accounting infrastructure code, which is not used
anymore.

To provide a backward compatibility, use an approximation of the
bpf map memory footprint as a "memlock" value, available to a user
via map info. The approximation is based on the maximal number of
elements and key and value sizes.

<title>bpf: Prepare for memcg-based memory accounting for bpf maps</title>

<content type='text'>
Bpf maps can be updated from an interrupt context and in such
case there is no process which can be charged. It makes the memory
accounting of bpf maps non-trivial.

Fortunately, after commit 4127c6504f25 ("mm: kmem: enable kernel
memcg accounting from interrupt contexts") and commit b87d8cefe43c
("mm, memcg: rework remote charging API to support nesting")
it's finally possible.

To make the ownership model simple and consistent, when the map
is created, the memory cgroup of the current process is recorded.
All subsequent allocations related to the bpf map are charged to
the same memory cgroup. It includes allocations made by any processes
(even if they do belong to a different cgroup) and from interrupts.

This commit introduces 3 new helpers, which will be used by following
commits to enable the accounting of bpf maps memory:
  - bpf_map_kmalloc_node()
  - bpf_map_kzalloc()
  - bpf_map_alloc_percpu()

They are wrapping popular memory allocation functions. They set
the active memory cgroup to the map's memory cgroup and add
__GFP_ACCOUNT to the passed gfp flags. Then they call into
the corresponding memory allocation function and restore
the original active memory cgroup.

These helpers are supposed to use everywhere except the map creation
path. During the map creation when the map structure is allocated by
itself, it cannot be passed to those helpers. In those cases default
memory allocation function will be used with the __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.

<content type='text'>
Add kernel module listener that will load/validate and unload module BTF.
Module BTFs gets ID generated for them, which makes it possible to iterate
them with existing BTF iteration API. They are given their respective module's
names, which will get reported through GET_OBJ_INFO API. They are also marked
as in-kernel BTFs for tooling to distinguish them from user-provided BTFs.

Also, similarly to vmlinux BTF, kernel module BTFs are exposed through
sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/&lt;module-name&gt;. This is convenient for user-space
tools to inspect module BTF contents and dump their types with existing tools:

[vmuser@archvm bpf]$ ls -la /sys/kernel/btf

Add kernel module listener that will load/validate and unload module BTF.
Module BTFs gets ID generated for them, which makes it possible to iterate
them with existing BTF iteration API. They are given their respective module's
names, which will get reported through GET_OBJ_INFO API. They are also marked
as in-kernel BTFs for tooling to distinguish them from user-provided BTFs.

Also, similarly to vmlinux BTF, kernel module BTFs are exposed through
sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/&lt;module-name&gt;. This is convenient for user-space
tools to inspect module BTF contents and dump their types with existing tools:

[vmuser@archvm bpf]$ ls -la /sys/kernel/btf
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root       0 Nov  4 19:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root       0 Nov  4 19:46 ..

<title>bpf: Implement get_current_task_btf and RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID</title>

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.
