__cgroup_bpf_attach() and __cgroup_bpf_detach() functions have
a good amount of duplicated code, which is possible to eliminate
by introducing the update_effective_progs() helper function.

The update_effective_progs() calls compute_effective_progs()
and then in case of success it calls activate_effective_progs()
for each descendant cgroup. In case of failure (OOM), it releases
allocated prog arrays and return the error code.

The bpf_get_local_storage() helper function is used
to get a pointer to the bpf local storage from a bpf program.

It takes a pointer to a storage map and flags as arguments.
Right now it accepts only cgroup storage maps, and flags
argument has to be 0. Further it can be extended to support
other types of local storage: e.g. thread local storage etc.

This patch converts bpf_prog_array from an array of prog pointers
to the array of struct bpf_prog_array_item elements.

This allows to save a cgroup storage pointer for each bpf program
efficiently attached to a cgroup.

If a bpf program is using cgroup local storage, allocate

Analogically, release the cgroup local storage on detaching

The progs local variable in compute_effective_progs() is marked
as __rcu, which is not correct. This is a local pointer, which
is initialized by bpf_prog_array_alloc(), which also now
returns a generic non-rcu pointer.

The real rcu-protected pointer is *array (array is a pointer
to an RCU-protected pointer), so the assignment should be performed
using rcu_assign_pointer().

If the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF not enabled, it is not
possible to attach, detach or query IR BPF programs to /dev/lircN devices,
making them impossible to use. For embedded devices, it should be possible
to use IR decoding without cgroups or CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF enabled.

This change requires some refactoring, since bpf_prog_{attach,detach,query}
functions are now always compiled, but their code paths for cgroups need
moving out. Rather than a #ifdef CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF in kernel/bpf/syscall.c,
moving them to kernel/bpf/cgroup.c and kernel/bpf/sockmap.c does not
require #ifdefs since that is already conditionally compiled.

<title>bpf: Hooks for sys_sendmsg</title>

<id>1cedee13d25ab118d325f95588c1a084e9317229</id>
<content type='text'>
In addition to already existing BPF hooks for sys_bind and sys_connect,
the patch provides new hooks for sys_sendmsg.

It leverages existing BPF program type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR`
that provides access to socket itlself (properties like family, type,
protocol) and user-passed `struct sockaddr *` so that BPF program can
override destination IP and port for system calls such as sendto(2) or
sendmsg(2) and/or assign source IP to the socket.

The hooks are implemented as two new attach types:
`BPF_CGROUP_UDP4_SENDMSG` and `BPF_CGROUP_UDP6_SENDMSG` for UDPv4 and
UDPv6 correspondingly.

UDPv4 and UDPv6 separate attach types for same reason as sys_bind and
sys_connect hooks, i.e. to prevent reading from / writing to e.g.
user_ip6 fields when user passes sockaddr_in since it'd be out-of-bound.

The difference with already existing hooks is sys_sendmsg are
implemented only for unconnected UDP.

For TCP it doesn't make sense to change user-provided `struct sockaddr *`
at sendto(2)/sendmsg(2) time since socket either was already connected
and has source/destination set or wasn't connected and call to
sendto(2)/sendmsg(2) would lead to ENOTCONN anyway.

Connected UDP is already handled by sys_connect hooks that can override
source/destination at connect time and use fast-path later, i.e. these
hooks don't affect UDP fast-path.

Rewriting source IP is implemented differently than that in sys_connect
hooks. When sys_sendmsg is used with unconnected UDP it doesn't work to
just bind socket to desired local IP address since source IP can be set
on per-packet basis by using ancillary data (cmsg(3)). So no matter if
socket is bound or not, source IP has to be rewritten on every call to
sys_sendmsg.

To do so two new fields are added to UAPI `struct bpf_sock_addr`;
* `msg_src_ip4` to set source IPv4 for UDPv4;
* `msg_src_ip6` to set source IPv6 for UDPv6.

== The problem ==

There is a use-case when all processes inside a cgroup should use one
single IP address on a host that has multiple IP configured.  Those
processes should use the IP for both ingress and egress, for TCP and UDP
traffic. So TCP/UDP servers should be bound to that IP to accept
incoming connections on it, and TCP/UDP clients should make outgoing
connections from that IP. It should not require changing application
code since it's often not possible.

Currently it's solved by intercepting glibc wrappers around syscalls
such as `bind(2)` and `connect(2)`. It's done by a shared library that
is preloaded for every process in a cgroup so that whenever TCP/UDP
server calls `bind(2)`, the library replaces IP in sockaddr before
passing arguments to syscall. When application calls `connect(2)` the
library transparently binds the local end of connection to that IP
(`bind(2)` with `IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT` to avoid performance penalty).

Shared library approach is fragile though, e.g.:
* some applications clear env vars (incl. `LD_PRELOAD`);
* `/etc/ld.so.preload` doesn't help since some applications are linked
  with option `-z nodefaultlib`;
* other applications don't use glibc and there is nothing to intercept.

== The solution ==

The patch provides much more reliable in-kernel solution for the 1st
part of the problem: binding TCP/UDP servers on desired IP. It does not
depend on application environment and implementation details (whether
glibc is used or not).

It adds new eBPF program type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR` and
attach types `BPF_CGROUP_INET4_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_BIND`
(similar to already existing `BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE`).

The new program type is intended to be used with sockets (`struct sock`)
in a cgroup and provided by user `struct sockaddr`. Pointers to both of
them are parts of the context passed to programs of newly added types.

The new attach types provides hooks in `bind(2)` system call for both
IPv4 and IPv6 so that one can write a program to override IP addresses
and ports user program tries to bind to and apply such a program for
whole cgroup.

== Implementation notes ==

[1]
Separate attach types for `AF_INET` and `AF_INET6` are added
intentionally to prevent reading/writing to offsets that don't make
sense for corresponding socket family. E.g. if user passes `sockaddr_in`
it doesn't make sense to read from / write to `user_ip6[]` context
fields.

[2]
The write access to `struct bpf_sock_addr_kern` is implemented using
special field as an additional "register".

There are just two registers in `sock_addr_convert_ctx_access`: `src`
with value to write and `dst` with pointer to context that can't be
changed not to break later instructions. But the fields, allowed to
write to, are not available directly and to access them address of
corresponding pointer has to be loaded first. To get additional register
the 1st not used by `src` and `dst` one is taken, its content is saved
to `bpf_sock_addr_kern.tmp_reg`, then the register is used to load
address of pointer field, and finally the register's content is restored
from the temporary field after writing `src` value.

== The problem ==

There are use-cases when a program of some type can be attached to
multiple attach points and those attach points must have different
permissions to access context or to call helpers.

E.g. context structure may have fields for both IPv4 and IPv6 but it
doesn't make sense to read from / write to IPv6 field when attach point
is somewhere in IPv4 stack.

Same applies to BPF-helpers: it may make sense to call some helper from
some attach point, but not from other for same prog type.

== The solution ==

Introduce `expected_attach_type` field in in `struct bpf_attr` for
`BPF_PROG_LOAD` command. If scenario described in "The problem" section
is the case for some prog type, the field will be checked twice:

1) At load time prog type is checked to see if attach type for it must
   be known to validate program permissions correctly. Prog will be
   rejected with EINVAL if it's the case and `expected_attach_type` is
   not specified or has invalid value.

2) At attach time `attach_type` is compared with `expected_attach_type`,
   if prog type requires to have one, and, if they differ, attach will
   be rejected with EINVAL.

The `expected_attach_type` is now available as part of `struct bpf_prog`
in both `bpf_verifier_ops-&gt;is_valid_access()` and
`bpf_verifier_ops-&gt;get_func_proto()` () and can be used to check context
accesses and calls to helpers correspondingly.

Initially the idea was discussed by Alexei Starovoitov &lt;ast@fb.com&gt; and
Daniel Borkmann &lt;daniel@iogearbox.net&gt; here:

<title>bpf/cgroup: fix a verification error for a CGROUP_DEVICE type prog</title>

The tools/testing/selftests/bpf test program
test_dev_cgroup fails with the following error
when compiled with llvm 6.0. (I did not try
with earlier versions.)

  libbpf: load bpf program failed: Permission denied
  libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
  libbpf:
  0: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 +4)
  1: (b7) r0 = 0
  2: (55) if r2 != 0x1 goto pc+8
   R0=inv0 R1=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R2=inv1 R10=fp0
  3: (69) r2 = *(u16 *)(r1 +0)
  invalid bpf_context access off=0 size=2
  ...

The culprit is the following statement in dev_cgroup.c:
  short type = ctx-&gt;access_type &amp; 0xFFFF;
This code is typical as the ctx-&gt;access_type is assigned
as below in kernel/bpf/cgroup.c:
  struct bpf_cgroup_dev_ctx ctx = {
        .access_type = (access &lt;&lt; 16) | dev_type,
        .major = major,
        .minor = minor,
  };

The compiler converts it to u16 access while
the verifier cgroup_dev_is_valid_access rejects
any non u32 access.

This patch permits the field access_type to be accessible
with type u16 and u8 as well.
