Merge branch 'bpf-cgroup-multi-prog'



Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
bpf: muli prog support for cgroup-bpf

v1->v2:
- fixed accidentally swapped two lines which caused static_key not going to zero
- addressed Martin's feedback and changed prog_query to be consistent
  with verifier output: return -enospc and fill supplied buffer instead
  of just returning -enospc when buffer is too small to fit all prog_ids

v1:
cgroup-bpf use cases are getting more advanced and running only
one program per cgroup is no longer enough. Therefore introduce
support for attaching multiple programs per cgroup and running
a set of effective programs.

These patches introduces BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag for BPF_PROG_ATTACH cmd.
The default is still NONE and behavior of BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag
is unchanged.
The difference between three possible flags for BPF_PROG_ATTACH command:
- NONE(default): No further bpf programs allowed in the subtree.
- BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program,
  the program in this cgroup yields to sub-cgroup program.
- BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program,
  that cgroup program gets run in addition to the program in this cgroup.

Most of the logic is in patch 1. Even when cgroup doesn't have
any programs attached its set of effective program can be non-empty.
To quickly execute them and avoid penalizing cgroups without
any effective programs introduce 'struct bpf_prog_array'
which has an optimization for cgroups with zero effective programs.

Patch 2 introduces BPF_PROG_QUERY command for introspection
Patch 3 makes verifier more strict for cgroup-bpf program types.
Patch 4+ are tests.
