Using the read_iter/write_iter interfaces allows for in-kernel users
to set sysctls without using set_fs().  Also, the buffer is a string,
so give it the real type of 'char *', not void *.

<title>bpf: Add support for forced LINK_DETACH command</title>

<content type='text'>
Add LINK_DETACH command to force-detach bpf_link without destroying it. It has
the same behavior as auto-detaching of bpf_link due to cgroup dying for
bpf_cgroup_link or net_device being destroyed for bpf_xdp_link. In such case,
bpf_link is still a valid kernel object, but is defuncts and doesn't hold BPF
program attached to corresponding BPF hook. This functionality allows users
with enough access rights to manually force-detach attached bpf_link without
killing respective owner process.

This patch implements LINK_DETACH for cgroup, xdp, and netns links, mostly
re-using existing link release handling code.

<title>bpf: Make cgroup storages shared between programs on the same cgroup</title>

<id>7d9c3427894fe70d1347b4820476bf37736d2ff0</id>
<content type='text'>
This change comes in several parts:

One, the restriction that the CGROUP_STORAGE map can only be used
by one program is removed. This results in the removal of the field
'aux' in struct bpf_cgroup_storage_map, and removal of relevant
code associated with the field, and removal of now-noop functions
bpf_free_cgroup_storage and bpf_cgroup_storage_release.

Second, we permit a key of type u64 as the key to the map.
Providing such a key type indicates that the map should ignore
attach type when comparing map keys. However, for simplicity newly
linked storage will still have the attach type at link time in
its key struct. cgroup_storage_check_btf is adapted to accept
u64 as the type of the key.

Third, because the storages are now shared, the storages cannot
be unconditionally freed on program detach. There could be two
ways to solve this issue:
* A. Reference count the usage of the storages, and free when the
     last program is detached.
* B. Free only when the storage is impossible to be referred to
     again, i.e. when either the cgroup_bpf it is attached to, or
     the map itself, is freed.
Option A has the side effect that, when the user detach and
reattach a program, whether the program gets a fresh storage
depends on whether there is another program attached using that
storage. This could trigger races if the user is multi-threaded,
and since nondeterminism in data races is evil, go with option B.

The both the map and the cgroup_bpf now tracks their associated
storages, and the storage unlink and free are removed from
cgroup_bpf_detach and added to cgroup_bpf_release and
cgroup_storage_map_free. The latter also new holds the cgroup_mutex
to prevent any races with the former.

Fourth, on attach, we reuse the old storage if the key already
exists in the map, via cgroup_storage_lookup. If the storage
does not exist yet, we create a new one, and publish it at the
last step in the attach process. This does not create a race
condition because for the whole attach the cgroup_mutex is held.
We keep track of an array of new storages that was allocated
and if the process fails only the new storages would get freed.

<title>bpf: Don't return EINVAL from {get,set}sockopt when optlen &gt; PAGE_SIZE</title>

Attaching to these hooks can break iptables because its optval is
usually quite big, or at least bigger than the current PAGE_SIZE limit.
David also mentioned some SCTP options can be big (around 256k).

For such optvals we expose only the first PAGE_SIZE bytes to
the BPF program. BPF program has two options:
1. Set ctx-&gt;optlen to 0 to indicate that the BPF's optval
   should be ignored and the kernel should use original userspace
   value.
2. Set ctx-&gt;optlen to something that's smaller than the PAGE_SIZE.

v5:
* use ctx-&gt;optlen == 0 with trimmed buffer (Alexei Starovoitov)
* update the docs accordingly

v4:
* use temporary buffer to avoid optval == optval_end == NULL;
  this removes the corner case in the verifier that might assume
  non-zero PTR_TO_PACKET/PTR_TO_PACKET_END.

v3:
* don't increase the limit, bypass the argument

v2:
* proper comments formatting (Jakub Kicinski)

<content type='text'>
When using BPF_PROG_ATTACH to attach a program to a cgroup in
BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI mode, it is not possible to replace a program
with itself. This is because the check for duplicate programs
doesn't take the replacement program into account.

Replacing a program with itself might seem weird, but it has
some uses: first, it allows resetting the associated cgroup storage.
Second, it makes the API consistent with the non-ALLOW_MULTI usage,
where it is possible to replace a program with itself. Third, it
aligns BPF_PROG_ATTACH with bpf_link, where replacing itself is
also supported.

Sice this code has been refactored a few times this change will
only apply to v5.7 and later. Adjustments could be made to
commit 1020c1f24a94 ("bpf: Simplify __cgroup_bpf_attach") and
commit d7bf2c10af05 ("bpf: allocate cgroup storage entries on attaching bpf programs")
as well as commit 324bda9e6c5a ("bpf: multi program support for cgroup+bpf")

Failure to update a bpf_link because it has been auto-detached by a dying
cgroup currently results in EINVAL error, even though the arguments passed
to bpf() syscall are not wrong.

bpf_links attaching to netns in this case will return ENOLINK, which
carries the message that the link is no longer attached to anything.

Change cgroup bpf_links to do the same to keep the uAPI errors consistent.

Add ability to fetch bpf_link details through BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD command.
Also enhance show_fdinfo to potentially include bpf_link type-specific
information (similarly to obj_info).

Also introduce enum bpf_link_type stored in bpf_link itself and expose it in
UAPI. bpf_link_tracing also now will store and return bpf_attach_type.

Generate ID for each bpf_link using IDR, similarly to bpf_map and bpf_prog.
bpf_link creation, initialization, attachment, and exposing to user-space
through FD and ID is a complicated multi-step process, abstract it away
through bpf_link_primer and bpf_link_prime(), bpf_link_settle(), and
bpf_link_cleanup() internal API. They guarantee that until bpf_link is
properly attached, user-space won't be able to access partially-initialized
bpf_link either from FD or ID. All this allows to simplify bpf_link attachment
and error handling code.
