Add bpf_for_each(), bpf_for(), and bpf_repeat() macros that make writing open-coded iterator-based loops much more convenient and natural. These macros utilize cleanup attribute to ensure proper destruction of the iterator and thanks to that manage to provide the ergonomics that is very close to C language's for() construct. Typical loop would look like: int i; int arr[N]; bpf_for(i, 0, N) { /* verifier will know that i >= 0 && i < N, so could be used to * directly access array elements with no extra checks */ arr[i] = i; } bpf_repeat() is very similar, but it doesn't expose iteration number and is meant as a simple "repeat action N times" loop: bpf_repeat(N) { /* whatever, N times */ } Note that `break` and `continue` statements inside the {} block work as expected. bpf_for_each() is a generalization over any kind of BPF open-coded iterator allowing to use for-each-like approach instead of calling low-level bpf_iter_<type>_{new,next,destroy}() APIs explicitly. E.g.: struct cgroup *cg; bpf_for_each(cgroup, cg, some, input, args) { /* do something with each cg */ } would call (not-yet-implemented) bpf_iter_cgroup_{new,next,destroy}() functions to form a loop over cgroups, where `some, input, args` are passed verbatim into constructor as bpf_iter_cgroup_new(&it, some, input, args). As a first demonstration, add pyperf variant based on the bpf_for() loop. Also clean up a few tests that either included bpf_misc.h header unnecessarily from the user-space, which is unsupported, or included it before any common types are defined (and thus leading to unnecessary compilation warnings, potentially).
