The recently added tcx attachment extended the BPF UAPI for attaching and
detaching by a couple of fields. Those fields are currently only supported
for tcx, other types like cgroups and flow dissector silently ignore the
new fields except for the new flags.

This is problematic once we extend bpf_mprog to older attachment types, since
it's hard to figure out whether the syscall really was successful if the
kernel silently ignores non-zero values.

Explicitly reject non-zero fields relevant to bpf_mprog for attachment types
which don't use the latter yet.

<title>bpf: Fix BPF_PROG_QUERY last field check</title>

While working on the ebpf-go [0] library integration for bpf_mprog and tcx,
Lorenz noticed that two subsequent BPF_PROG_QUERY requests currently fail. A
typical workflow is to first gather the bpf_mprog count without passing program/
link arrays, followed by the second request which contains the actual array
pointers.

The initial call populates count and revision fields. The second call gets
rejected due to a BPF_PROG_QUERY_LAST_FIELD bug which should point to
query.revision instead of query.link_attach_flags since the former is really
the last member.

It was not noticed in libbpf as bpf_prog_query_opts() always calls bpf(2) with
an on-stack bpf_attr that is memset() each time (and therefore query.revision
was reset to zero).

__bpf_prog_enter_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before
performing the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_recur() uses the previously set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
value.

__bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
after the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() uses an uninitialized value. This does not
look right. If I read the entry trampoline code right, then bpf_tramp_run_ctx
isn't initialized upfront.

Align __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() with __bpf_prog_enter_recur() and
set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before the recursion check is made.
Remove the assignment of saved_run_ctx in kern_sys_bpf() since it happens
a few cycles later.

If __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() detects recursion then it returns
0 without undoing rcu_read_lock_trace(), migrate_disable() or
decrementing the recursion counter. This is fine in the JIT case because
the JIT code will jump in the 0 case to the end and invoke the matching
exit trampoline (__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur()).

This is not the case in kern_sys_bpf() which returns directly to the
caller with an error code.

Add __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() as clean up in the recursion case.

Currently, in function bpf_obj_free_fields(), for local kptr,
a warning will be issued if the struct does not contain any
special fields. But actually the kernel seems totally okay
with a local kptr without any special fields. Permitting
no special fields also aligns with future percpu kptr which
also allows no special fields.

Adding support to specify pid for uprobe_multi link and the uprobes
are created only for task with given pid value.

Using the consumer.filter filter callback for that, so the task gets
filtered during the uprobe installation.

We still need to check the task during runtime in the uprobe handler,
because the handler could get executed if there's another system
wide consumer on the same uprobe (thanks Oleg for the insight).

Adding new multi uprobe link that allows to attach bpf program
to multiple uprobes.

Uprobes to attach are specified via new link_create uprobe_multi
union:

  struct {
    __aligned_u64   path;
    __aligned_u64   offsets;
    __aligned_u64   ref_ctr_offsets;
    __u32           cnt;
    __u32           flags;
  } uprobe_multi;

Uprobes are defined for single binary specified in path and multiple
calling sites specified in offsets array with optional reference
counters specified in ref_ctr_offsets array. All specified arrays
have length of 'cnt'.

The 'flags' supports single bit for now that marks the uprobe as
return probe.

The commit 1b715e1b0ec5 ("bpf: Support -&gt;fill_link_info for perf_event") leads
to the following Smatch static checker warning:

    kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3416 bpf_perf_link_fill_kprobe()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'type'.

That can happens when uname is NULL. So fix it by verifying the uname when we
really need to fill it.
