====================
bpf: Add map-in-map support

This patchset adds map-in-map support (map->map).
One use case is the (vips -> webservers) in the L4 load balancer so
that different vips can be backed by different set of webservers.

Please refer to the individual commit log for details.

      bpf: Add hash of maps support · bcc6b1b7
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      This patch adds hash of maps support (hashmap->bpf_map).
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS is added.

A map-in-map contains a pointer to another map and lets call
this pointer 'inner_map_ptr'.

Notes on deleting inner_map_ptr from a hash map:

1. For BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC map-in-map, when deleting
   an inner_map_ptr, the htab_elem itself will go through
   a rcu grace period and the inner_map_ptr resides
   in the htab_elem.

2. For pre-allocated htab_elem (!BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC),
   when deleting an inner_map_ptr, the htab_elem may
   get reused immediately.  This situation is similar
   to the existing prealloc-ated use cases.

   However, the bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() calls bpf_map_put() which calls
   inner_map->ops->map_free(inner_map) which will go
   through a rcu grace period (i.e. all bpf_map's map_free
   currently goes through a rcu grace period).  Hence,
   the inner_map_ptr is still safe for the rcu reader side.

This patch also includes BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS to the
check_map_prealloc() in the verifier.  preallocation is a
must for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT.  Hence, even we don't expect
heavy updates to map-in-map, enforcing BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC for map-in-map
is impossible without disallowing BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT from using
map-in-map first.

      bpf: Add array of maps support · 56f668df
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      This patch adds a few helper funcs to enable map-in-map
support (i.e. outer_map->inner_map).  The first outer_map type
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS is also added in this patch.
The next patch will introduce a hash of maps type.

Any bpf map type can be acted as an inner_map.  The exception
is BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY because the extra level of
indirection makes it harder to verify the owner_prog_type
and owner_jited.

Multi-level map-in-map is not supported (i.e. map->map is ok
but not map->map->map).

When adding an inner_map to an outer_map, it currently checks the
map_type, key_size, value_size, map_flags, max_entries and ops.
The verifier also uses those map's properties to do static analysis.
map_flags is needed because we need to ensure BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
is using a preallocated hashtab for the inner_hash also.  ops and
max_entries are needed to generate inlined map-lookup instructions.
For simplicity reason, a simple '==' test is used for both map_flags
and max_entries.  The equality of ops is implied by the equality of
map_type.

During outer_map creation time, an inner_map_fd is needed to create an
outer_map.  However, the inner_map_fd's life time does not depend on the
outer_map.  The inner_map_fd is merely used to initialize
the inner_map_meta of the outer_map.

Also, for the outer_map:

* It allows element update and delete from syscall
* It allows element lookup from bpf_prog

The above is similar to the current fd_array pattern.
