Use of bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns() and bpf_timer_* helpers in tracing
progs may result in locking issues.

bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns() uses ktime_get_coarse_ns() time accessor that
isn't safe for any context:

Forbid use of bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns() and bpf_timer_* helpers in
BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE, BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
and BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT prog types.

<title>bpf: Replace callers of BPF_CAST_CALL with proper function typedef</title>

In order to keep ahead of cases in the kernel where Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) may trip over function call casts, enabling
-Wcast-function-type is helpful. To that end, BPF_CAST_CALL causes
various warnings and is one of the last places in the kernel
triggering this warning.

For actual function calls, replace BPF_CAST_CALL() with a typedef, which
captures the same details about the given function pointers.

This change results in no object code difference.

This helper is meant to be "bpf_trace_printk, but with proper vararg
support". Follow bpf_snprintf's example and take a u64 pseudo-vararg
array. Write to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe using the same
mechanism as bpf_trace_printk. The functionality of this helper was
requested in the libbpf issue tracker [0].

MAX_SNPRINTF_VARARGS and MAX_SEQ_PRINTF_VARARGS are used by bpf helpers
bpf_snprintf and bpf_seq_printf to limit their varargs. Both call into
bpf_bprintf_prepare for print formatting logic and have convenience
macros in libbpf (BPF_SNPRINTF, BPF_SEQ_PRINTF) which use the same
helper macros to convert varargs to a byte array.

Changing shared functionality to support more varargs for either bpf
helper would affect the other as well, so let's combine the _VARARGS
macros to make this more obvious.

helper would affect the other as well, so let's combine the _VARARGS
macros to make this more obvious.

<title>bpf: Add bpf_task_pt_regs() helper</title>

The motivation behind this helper is to access userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler.

uprobe's ctx is the userspace pt_regs. kprobe's ctx is the kernelspace
pt_regs. bpf_task_pt_regs() allows accessing userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler. The final case (kernelspace pt_regs in uprobe) is
pretty rare (usermode helper) so I think that can be solved later if
necessary.

More concretely, this helper is useful in doing BPF-based DWARF stack
unwinding. Currently the kernel can only do framepointer based stack
unwinds for userspace code. This is because the DWARF state machines are
too fragile to be computed in kernelspace [0]. The idea behind
DWARF-based stack unwinds w/ BPF is to copy a chunk of the userspace
stack (while in prog context) and send it up to userspace for unwinding
(probably with libunwind) [1]. This would effectively enable profiling
applications with -fomit-frame-pointer using kprobes and uprobes.

bpf_get_current_task() is already supported so it's natural to also
include the _btf() variant for btf-powered helpers.

This is required for non-tracing progs to use bpf_task_pt_regs() in the
next commit.

/proc/net/unix uses "%c" to print a single-byte character to escape '\0' in
the name of the abstract UNIX domain socket.  The following selftest uses
it, so this patch adds support for "%c".  Note that it does not support
wide character ("%lc" and "%llc") for simplicity.
