Adding support to use session attachment with tracing_multi link.

Adding new BPF_TRACE_FSESSION_MULTI program attach type, that follows
the BPF_TRACE_FSESSION behaviour but on the tracing_multi link.

Such program is called on entry and exit of the attached function
and allows to pass cookie value from entry to exit execution.

Cookies are provided in array where each value is paired with provided
BTF ID value with the same array index.

Such cookie can be retrieved by bpf program with bpf_get_attach_cookie

We need to sort cookies array together with ids array in check_dup_ids,
to keep the id-&gt;cookie relation.

<content type='text'>
Adding bpf_trampoline_multi_attach/detach functions that allows to
attach/detach tracing program to multiple functions/trampolines.

The attachment is defined with bpf_program and array of BTF ids of
functions to attach the bpf program to.

Adding bpf_tracing_multi_link object that holds all the attached
trampolines and is initialized in attach and used in detach.

The attachment allocates or uses currently existing trampoline
for each function to attach and links it with the bpf program.

The attach works as follows:
- we get all the needed trampolines
- lock them and add the bpf program to each (__bpf_trampoline_link_prog)
- the trampoline_multi_ops passed in __bpf_trampoline_link_prog gathers
  ftrace_hash (ip -&gt; trampoline) objects
- we call update_ftrace_direct_add/mod to update needed locations
- we unlock all the trampolines

The detach works as follows:
- we lock all the needed trampolines
- remove the program from each (__bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog)
- the trampoline_multi_ops passed in __bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog gathers
  ftrace_hash (ip -&gt; trampoline) objects
- we call update_ftrace_direct_del/mod to update needed locations
- we unlock and put all the trampolines

We store the old image/flags in the trampoline before the update
and use it in case we need to rollback the attachment.

We keep the ftrace_hash objects allocated during attach in the link
so they can be used for detach as well.

Adding trampoline_(un)lock_all functions to (un)lock all trampolines
to gate the tracing_multi attachment.

Note this is supported only for archs (x86_64) with ftrace direct and
have single ops support.

  CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS &amp;&amp;
  CONFIG_HAVE_SINGLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_OPS

It also needs CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL enabled.

Adding new program attach types multi tracing attachment:
  BPF_TRACE_FENTRY_MULTI
  BPF_TRACE_FEXIT_MULTI

and their base support in verifier code.

Programs with such attach type will use specific link attachment
interface coming in following changes.

This was suggested by Andrii some (long) time ago and turned out
to be easier than having special program flag for that.

Bpf programs with such types have 'bpf_multi_func' function set as
their attach_btf_id and keep module reference when it's specified
by attach_prog_fd.

They are also accepted as sleepable programs during verification,
and the real validation for specific BTF_IDs/functions will happen
during the multi link attachment in following changes.

Adding struct bpf_tramp_node to decouple the link out of the trampoline
attachment info.

At the moment the object for attaching bpf program to the trampoline is
'struct bpf_tramp_link':

  struct bpf_tramp_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       struct hlist_node tramp_hlist;
       u64 cookie;
  }

The link holds the bpf_prog pointer and forces one link - one program
binding logic. In following changes we want to attach program to multiple
trampolines but we want to keep just one bpf_link object.

Splitting struct bpf_tramp_link into:

  struct bpf_tramp_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       struct bpf_tramp_node node;
  };

  struct bpf_tramp_node {
       struct bpf_link *link;
       struct hlist_node tramp_hlist;
       u64 cookie;
  };

The 'struct bpf_tramp_link' defines standard single trampoline link
and 'struct bpf_tramp_node' is the attachment trampoline object with
pointer to the bpf_link object.

This will allow us to define link for multiple trampolines, like:

  struct bpf_tracing_multi_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       ...
       int nodes_cnt;
       struct bpf_tracing_multi_node nodes[] __counted_by(nodes_cnt);
  };

In following changes we will need to override ftrace direct attachment
behaviour. In order to do that we are adding struct bpf_trampoline_ops
object that defines callbacks for ftrace direct attachment:

   register_fentry
   unregister_fentry
   modify_fentry

The new struct bpf_trampoline_ops object is passed as an argument to
__bpf_trampoline_link/unlink_prog functions.

At the moment the default trampoline_ops is set to the current ftrace
direct attachment functions, so there's no functional change for the
current code.

<title>bpf: Use mutex lock pool for bpf trampolines</title>

<content type='text'>
Adding mutex lock pool that replaces bpf trampolines mutex.

For tracing_multi link coming in following changes we need to lock all
the involved trampolines during the attachment. This could mean thousands
of mutex locks, which is not convenient.

As suggested by Andrii we can replace bpf trampolines mutex with mutex
pool, where each trampoline is hash-ed to one of the locks from the pool.

It's better to lock all the pool mutexes (32 at the moment) than
thousands of them.

There is 48 (MAX_LOCK_DEPTH) lock limit allowed to be simultaneously
held by task, so we need to keep 32 mutexes (5 bits) in the pool, so
when we lock them all in following changes the lockdep won't scream.

Removing the mutex_is_locked in bpf_trampoline_put, because we removed
the mutex from bpf_trampoline.

Adding mutex lock pool that replaces bpf trampolines mutex.

For tracing_multi link coming in following changes we need to lock all
the involved trampolines during the attachment. This could mean thousands
of mutex locks, which is not convenient.

As suggested by Andrii we can replace bpf trampolines mutex with mutex
pool, where each trampoline is hash-ed to one of the locks from the pool.

It's better to lock all the pool mutexes (32 at the moment) than
thousands of them.

There is 48 (MAX_LOCK_DEPTH) lock limit allowed to be simultaneously
held by task, so we need to keep 32 mutexes (5 bits) in the pool, so
