Map update and delete paths currently call bpf_obj_free_fields() when a
value is being replaced or recycled. That makes field destruction depend
on the context of the update/delete operation. For tracing programs this
can include NMI context, where referenced kptr destructors, uptr
unpinning, and graph root destruction are not generally safe.

Introduce bpf_obj_cancel_fields() for the reusable-value path. It only
performs NMI-safe cleanup for timer, workqueue, and task_work fields.
Fields that need full destruction are left attached to the recycled value
and are destroyed by the final cleanup path instead.

Switch array and hashtab update/delete/recycle paths to this cancel
helper. Keep bpf_obj_free_fields() for final map destruction and for
bpf_mem_alloc destructors. Preallocated hashtabs do not have allocator
destructors, so teardown continues to walk the normal and extra elements
and fully destroy their fields.

This deliberately relaxes the eager-free semantics of map update/delete
for special fields. Programs that relied on a recycled map slot becoming
empty immediately after update/delete were relying on behavior that
cannot be implemented safely from every BPF execution context without
offloading arbitrary destructors.

There is a chance this change breaks programs making assumptions
regarding the eager freeing of fields. If so, we can relax semantics to
cancellation only when irqs_disabled() is true in the future. However,
theoretically, map values that get reused eagerly already have weaker
guarantees as parallel users can recreate freed fields before the new
element becomes visible again.

bpf_map_get_info_by_fd() is the only caller of the -&gt;map_get_hash
and always invokes it with hash_buf == map-&gt;sha and hash_buf_size
of SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE. array_map_get_hash() in turn lets sha256()
write the digest directly into that buffer (map-&gt;sha) and then
performs a trailing memcpy(), which evaluates to memcpy(map-&gt;sha,
map-&gt;sha, 32): a redundant self-copy. The hash_buf_size argument
was never used at all. Simplify this a bit, no functional change.

<title>bpf: Use array_map_meta_equal for percpu array inner map replacement</title>

percpu_array_map_ops.map_meta_equal points to the generic
bpf_map_meta_equal(), which does not compare max_entries.  When a
percpu array serves as an inner map, replacing it with one that has
fewer max_entries bypasses the check.  Since percpu_array_map_gen_lookup()
inlines the original template's index_mask as a JIT immediate, a lookup
on the replacement map can access pptrs[] out of bounds.

Point percpu_array_map_ops.map_meta_equal to array_map_meta_equal(),
which already enforces the max_entries equality check.

Add a selftest to verify that replacing a percpu array inner map with
a differently-sized one is rejected.

For PROG_ARRAY maps with many entries this loop calls
prog_array_map_poke_run() per entry which can be expensive, and
without yielding this can cause RCU stalls under load:

<title>bpf: Lose const-ness of map in map_check_btf()</title>

BPF hash map may now use the map_check_btf() callback to decide whether
to set a dtor on its bpf_mem_alloc or not. Unlike C++ where members can
opt out of const-ness using mutable, we must lose the const qualifier on
the callback such that we can avoid the ugly cast. Make the change and
adjust all existing users, and lose the comment in hashtab.c.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Introduce support for the BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flag in percpu_array maps to
allow updating values for all CPUs with a single value for both
update_elem and update_batch APIs.

Introduce support for the BPF_F_CPU flag in percpu_array maps to allow:

* update value for specified CPU for both update_elem and update_batch
APIs.
* lookup value for specified CPU for both lookup_elem and lookup_batch
APIs.

The BPF_F_CPU flag is passed via:

* map_flags of lookup_elem and update_elem APIs along with embedded cpu
info.
* elem_flags of lookup_batch and update_batch APIs along with embedded
cpu info.

The kernel/bpf/array.c file defines the array_map_get_next_key()
function which finds the next key for array maps. It actually doesn't
use any map fields besides the generic max_entries field. Generalize
it, and export as bpf_array_get_next_key() such that it can be
re-used by other array-like maps.

<title>bpf: Extract internal structs validation logic into helpers</title>

The arraymap and hashtab duplicate the logic that checks for and frees
internal structs (timer, workqueue, task_work) based on
BTF record flags. Centralize this by introducing two helpers:

  * bpf_map_has_internal_structs(map)
    Returns true if the map value contains any of internal structs:
    BPF_TIMER | BPF_WORKQUEUE | BPF_TASK_WORK.

  * bpf_map_free_internal_structs(map, obj)
    Frees the internal structs for a single value object.

Convert arraymap and both the prealloc/malloc hashtab paths to use the
new generic functions. This keeps the functionality for when/how to free
these special fields in one place and makes it easier to add support for
new internal structs in the future without touching every map
implementation.
