BPF_STX instruction preserves STACK_ZERO marks for variable offset
writes in situations like below:

  *(u64*)(r10 - 8) = 0   ; STACK_ZERO marks for fp[-8]
  r0 = random(-7, -1)    ; some random number in range of [-7, -1]
  r0 += r10              ; r0 is now a variable offset pointer to stack
  r1 = 0
  *(u8*)(r0) = r1        ; BPF_STX writing zero, STACK_ZERO mark for
                         ; fp[-8] is preserved

This commit updates verifier.c:check_stack_write_var_off() to process
BPF_ST in a similar manner, e.g. the following example:

  *(u64*)(r10 - 8) = 0   ; STACK_ZERO marks for fp[-8]
  r0 = random(-7, -1)    ; some random number in range of [-7, -1]
  r0 += r10              ; r0 is now variable offset pointer to stack
  *(u8*)(r0) = 0         ; BPF_ST writing zero, STACK_ZERO mark for
                         ; fp[-8] is preserved

<title>bpf: track immediate values written to stack by BPF_ST instruction</title>

For aligned stack writes using BPF_ST instruction track stored values
in a same way BPF_STX is handled, e.g. make sure that the following
commands produce similar verifier knowledge:

  fp[-8] = 42;             r1 = 42;
                       fp[-8] = r1;

This covers two cases:
 - non-null values written to stack are stored as spill of fake
   registers;
 - null values written to stack are stored as STACK_ZERO marks.

Previously both cases above used STACK_MISC marks instead.

Some verifier test cases relied on the old logic to obtain STACK_MISC
marks for some stack values. These test cases are updated in the same
commit to avoid failures during bisect.

<title>bpf: Special verifier handling for bpf_rbtree_{remove, first}</title>

Newly-added bpf_rbtree_{remove,first} kfuncs have some special properties
that require handling in the verifier:

  * both bpf_rbtree_remove and bpf_rbtree_first return the type containing
    the bpf_rb_node field, with the offset set to that field's offset,
    instead of a struct bpf_rb_node *
    * mark_reg_graph_node helper added in previous patch generalizes
      this logic, use it

  * bpf_rbtree_remove's node input is a node that's been inserted
    in the tree - a non-owning reference.

  * bpf_rbtree_remove must invalidate non-owning references in order to
    avoid aliasing issue. Use previously-added
    invalidate_non_owning_refs helper to mark this function as a
    non-owning ref invalidation point.

  * Unlike other functions, which convert one of their input arg regs to
    non-owning reference, bpf_rbtree_first takes no arguments and just
    returns a non-owning reference (possibly null)
    * For now verifier logic for this is special-cased instead of
      adding new kfunc flag.

This patch, along with the previous one, complete special verifier
handling for all rbtree API functions added in this series.

With functional verifier handling of rbtree_remove, under current
non-owning reference scheme, a node type with both bpf_{list,rb}_node
fields could cause the verifier to accept programs which remove such
nodes from collections they haven't been added to.

In order to prevent this, this patch adds a check to btf_parse_fields
which rejects structs with both bpf_{list,rb}_node fields. This is a
temporary measure that can be removed after "collection identity"
followup. See comment added in btf_parse_fields. A linked_list BTF test
exercising the new check is added in this patch as well.

<title>bpf: Add callback validation to kfunc verifier logic</title>

Some BPF helpers take a callback function which the helper calls. For
each helper that takes such a callback, there's a special call to
__check_func_call with a callback-state-setting callback that sets up
verifier bpf_func_state for the callback's frame.

kfuncs don't have any of this infrastructure yet, so let's add it in
this patch, following existing helper pattern as much as possible. To
validate functionality of this added plumbing, this patch adds
callback handling for the bpf_rbtree_add kfunc and hopes to lay
groundwork for future graph datastructure callbacks.

In the "general plumbing" category we have:

  * check_kfunc_call doing callback verification right before clearing
    CALLER_SAVED_REGS, exactly like check_helper_call
  * recognition of func_ptr BTF types in kfunc args as
    KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CALLBACK + propagation of subprogno for this arg type

In the "rbtree_add / graph datastructure-specific plumbing" category:

  * Since bpf_rbtree_add must be called while the spin_lock associated
    with the tree is held, don't complain when callback's func_state
    doesn't unlock it by frame exit
  * Mark rbtree_add callback's args with ref_set_non_owning
    to prevent rbtree api functions from being called in the callback.
    Semantically this makes sense, as less() takes no ownership of its
    args when determining which comes first.

Now that we find bpf_rb_root and bpf_rb_node in structs, let's give args
that contain those types special classification and properly handle
these types when checking kfunc args.

"Properly handling" these types largely requires generalizing similar
handling for bpf_list_{head,node}, with little new logic added in this
patch.

This patch adds implementations of bpf_rbtree_{add,remove,first}
and teaches verifier about their BTF_IDs as well as those of
bpf_rb_{root,node}.

All three kfuncs have some nonstandard component to their verification
that needs to be addressed in future patches before programs can
properly use them:

  * bpf_rbtree_add:     Takes 'less' callback, need to verify it

  * bpf_rbtree_first:   Returns ptr_to_node_type(off=rb_node_off) instead
                        of ptr_to_rb_node(off=0). Return value ref is
			non-owning.

  * bpf_rbtree_remove:  Returns ptr_to_node_type(off=rb_node_off) instead
                        of ptr_to_rb_node(off=0). 2nd arg (node) is a

This patch adds special BPF_RB_{ROOT,NODE} btf_field_types similar to
BPF_LIST_{HEAD,NODE}, adds the necessary plumbing to detect the new
types, and adds bpf_rb_root_free function for freeing bpf_rb_root in
map_values.

structs bpf_rb_root and bpf_rb_node are opaque types meant to
obscure structs rb_root_cached rb_node, respectively.

btf_struct_access will prevent BPF programs from touching these special
fields automatically now that they're recognized.

btf_check_and_fixup_fields now groups list_head and rb_root together as
"graph root" fields and {list,rb}_node as "graph node", and does same
ownership cycle checking as before. Note that this function does _not_
prevent ownership type mixups (e.g. rb_root owning list_node) - that's
handled by btf_parse_graph_root.

After this patch, a bpf program can have a struct bpf_rb_root in a
map_value, but not add anything to nor do anything useful with it.

semantics, and bpf_list_push_{front,back} are migrated to use them.

When a list node is pushed to a list, the program still has a pointer to
the node:

  n = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*n));

  bpf_spin_lock(&amp;l);
  bpf_list_push_back(&amp;l, n);
  /* n still points to the just-added node */
  bpf_spin_unlock(&amp;l);

What the verifier considers n to be after the push, and thus what can be
done with n, are changed by this patch.

Common properties both before/after this patch:
  * After push, n is only a valid reference to the node until end of
    critical section
  * After push, n cannot be pushed to any list
  * After push, the program can read the node's fields using n

Before:
  * After push, n retains the ref_obj_id which it received on
    bpf_obj_new, but the associated bpf_reference_state's
    release_on_unlock field is set to true
    * release_on_unlock field and associated logic is used to implement
      "n is only a valid ref until end of critical section"
  * After push, n cannot be written to, the node must be removed from
    the list before writing to its fields
  * After push, n is marked PTR_UNTRUSTED

After:
  * After push, n's ref is released and ref_obj_id set to 0. NON_OWN_REF
    type flag is added to reg's type, indicating that it's a non-owning
    reference.
    * NON_OWN_REF flag and logic is used to implement "n is only a
      valid ref until end of critical section"
  * n can be written to (except for special fields e.g. bpf_list_node,
    timer, ...)

Summary of specific implementation changes to achieve the above:

  * release_on_unlock field, ref_set_release_on_unlock helper, and logic
    to "release on unlock" based on that field are removed

  * The anonymous active_lock struct used by bpf_verifier_state is
    pulled out into a named struct bpf_active_lock.

  * NON_OWN_REF type flag is introduced along with verifier logic
    changes to handle non-owning refs

  * Helpers are added to use NON_OWN_REF flag to implement non-owning
    ref semantics as described above
    * invalidate_non_owning_refs - helper to clobber all non-owning refs
      matching a particular bpf_active_lock identity. Replaces
      release_on_unlock logic in process_spin_lock.
    * ref_set_non_owning - set NON_OWN_REF type flag after doing some
      sanity checking
    * ref_convert_owning_non_owning - convert owning reference w/
      specified ref_obj_id to non-owning references. Set NON_OWN_REF
      flag for each reg with that ref_obj_id and 0-out its ref_obj_id

  * Update linked_list selftests to account for minor semantic
    differences introduced by this patch
    * Writes to a release_on_unlock node ref are not allowed, while
      writes to non-owning reference pointees are. As a result the
      linked_list "write after push" failure tests are no longer scenarios
      that should fail.
    * The test##missing_lock##op and test##incorrect_lock##op
      macro-generated failure tests need to have a valid node argument in
      order to have the same error output as before. Otherwise
      verification will fail early and the expected error output won't be seen.
