There are two improvements in this patch:
 1. Fix the build warnings;
 2. Add function read_trace_pipe() to print the result on
    the screen;

Before this patch, we can get the result through /sys/kernel/de
bug/tracing/trace_pipe and get nothing on the screen.
By applying this patch, the result can be printed on the screen.

We already know that a register is a stack address and the appropriate
offset, so we should be able to validate those references as well.

He Kuang noticed that the trace event samples for arrays was broken:

"The output result of trace_foo_bar event in traceevent samples is
 wrong. This problem can be reproduced as following:

  (Build kernel with SAMPLE_TRACE_EVENTS=m)

  $ insmod trace-events-sample.ko

  $ echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/foo_bar/enable

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

  event-sample-980 [000] ....  43.649559: foo_bar: foo hello 21 0x15
  BIT1|BIT3|0x10 {0x1,0x6f6f6e53,0xff007970,0xffffffff} Snoopy
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                 The array length is not right, should be {0x1}.
  (ffffffff,ffffffff)

  event-sample-980 [000] ....  44.653827: foo_bar: foo hello 22 0x16

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                 The array length is not right, should be {0x1,0x2}.
  Gandalf (ffffffff,ffffffff)"

This was caused by an update to have __print_array()'s second parameter
be the count of items in the array and not the size of the array.

As there is already users of __print_array(), it can not change. But
the sample code can and we can also improve on the documentation about
__print_array() and __get_dynamic_array_len().

The trace bpf samples do not compile on s390x because they use x86
specific fields from the "pt_regs" structure.

Fix this and access the fields via new PT_REGS macros.

<title>bpf: BPF based latency tracing</title>

BPF offers another way to generate latency histograms. We attach
kprobes at trace_preempt_off and trace_preempt_on and calculate the
time it takes to from seeing the off/on transition.

The first array is used to store the start time stamp. The key is the
CPU id. The second array stores the log2(time diff). We need to use
static allocation here (array and not hash tables). The kprobes
hooking into trace_preempt_on|off should not calling any dynamic
memory allocation or free path. We need to avoid recursivly
getting called. Besides that, it reduces jitter in the measurement.

BPF offers another way to generate latency histograms. We attach
kprobes at trace_preempt_off and trace_preempt_on and calculate the
time it takes to from seeing the off/on transition.

The first array is used to store the start time stamp. The key is the
CPU id. The second array stores the log2(time diff). We need to use
static allocation here (array and not hash tables). The kprobes
hooking into trace_preempt_on|off should not calling any dynamic
memory allocation or free path. We need to avoid recursivly
getting called. Besides that, it reduces jitter in the measurement.

<title>bpf: introduce current-&gt;pid, tgid, uid, gid, comm accessors</title>

<id>ffeedafbf0236f03aeb2e8db273b3e5ae5f5bc89</id>

eBPF programs attached to kprobes need to filter based on
current-&gt;pid, uid and other fields, so introduce helper functions:

u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void)
Return: current-&gt;tgid &lt;&lt; 32 | current-&gt;pid

u64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void)
Return: current_gid &lt;&lt; 32 | current_uid

bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, int size_of_buf)
stores current-&gt;comm into buf

They can be used from the programs attached to TC as well to classify packets
based on current task fields.

Update tracex2 example to print histogram of write syscalls for each process
instead of aggregated for all.

<title>bpf: allow programs to write to certain skb fields</title>

allow programs read/write skb-&gt;mark, tc_index fields and
((struct qdisc_skb_cb *)cb)-&gt;data.

mark and tc_index are generically useful in TC.
cb[0]-cb[4] are primarily used to pass arguments from one
program to another called via bpf_tail_call() which can
be seen in sockex3_kern.c example.

All fields of 'struct __sk_buff' are readable to socket and tc_cls_act progs.
mark, tc_index are writeable from tc_cls_act only.
cb[0]-cb[4] are writeable by both sockets and tc_cls_act.

Add verifier tests and improve sample code.

<title>bpf: make programs see skb-&gt;data == L2 for ingress and egress</title>

eBPF programs attached to ingress and egress qdiscs see inconsistent skb-&gt;data.
For ingress L2 header is already pulled, whereas for egress it's present.
This is known to program writers which are currently forced to use
BPF_LL_OFF workaround.
Since programs don't change skb internal pointers it is safe to do
pull/push right around invocation of the program and earlier taps and
later pt-&gt;func() will not be affected.
Multiple taps via packet_rcv(), tpacket_rcv() are doing the same trick
around run_filter/BPF_PROG_RUN even if skb_shared.

This fix finally allows programs to use optimized LD_ABS/IND instructions
without BPF_LL_OFF for higher performance.
tc ingress + cls_bpf + samples/bpf/tcbpf1_kern.o
       w/o JIT   w/JIT
before  20.5     23.6 Mpps
after   21.8     26.6 Mpps

Old programs with BPF_LL_OFF will still work as-is.

We can now undo most of the earlier workaround commit:
a166151cbe33 ("bpf: fix bpf helpers to use skb-&gt;mac_header relative offsets")
