The current check statement in BPF syscall will do a capability check
for CAP_SYS_ADMIN before checking sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This
code path will trigger unnecessary security hooks on capability checking
and cause false alarms on unprivileged process trying to get CAP_SYS_ADMIN
access. This can be resolved by simply switch the order of the statement
and CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not required anyway if unprivileged bpf syscall is
allowed.

Unfortunate reality of user ABI makes sharing this code

<title>bpf: add new jited info fields in bpf_dev_offload and bpf_prog_info</title>

<content type='text'>
For host JIT, there are "jited_len"/"bpf_func" fields in struct bpf_prog
used by all host JIT targets to get jited image and it's length. While for
offload, targets are likely to have different offload mechanisms that these
info are kept in device private data fields.

Therefore, BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD syscall needs an unified way to get JIT
length and contents info for offload targets.

One way is to introduce new callback to parse device private data then fill
those fields in bpf_prog_info. This might be a little heavy, the other way
is to add generic fields which will be initialized by all offload targets.

This patch follow the second approach to introduce two new fields in
struct bpf_dev_offload and teach bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd about them to fill
correct jited_prog_len and jited_prog_insns in bpf_prog_info.

BPF map offload follow similar path to program offload.  At creation
time users may specify ifindex of the device on which they want to
create the map.  Map will be validated by the kernel's
.map_alloc_check callback and device driver will be called for the
actual allocation.  Map will have an empty set of operations
associated with it (save for alloc and free callbacks).  The real
device callbacks are kept in map-&gt;offload-&gt;dev_ops because they
have slightly different signatures.  Map operations are called in
process context so the driver may communicate with HW freely,
msleep(), wait() etc.

Map alloc and free callbacks are muxed via existing .ndo_bpf, and
are always called with rtnl lock held.  Maps and programs are
guaranteed to be destroyed before .ndo_uninit (i.e. before
unregister_netdev() returns).  Map callbacks are invoked with
bpf_devs_lock *read* locked, drivers must take care of exclusive
locking if necessary.

All offload-specific branches are marked with unlikely() (through
bpf_map_is_dev_bound()), given that branch penalty will be
negligible compared to IO anyway, and we don't want to penalize
SW path unnecessarily.

.map_alloc callbacks contain a number of checks validating user-
-provided map attributes against constraints of a particular map
type.  For offloaded maps we will need to check map attributes
without actually allocating any memory on the host.  Add a new
callback for validating attributes before any memory is allocated.
This callback can be selectively implemented by map types for
sharing code with offloads, or simply to separate the logical
steps of validation and allocation.
