      bpf: Introduce BPF support for kernel module function calls · 2357672c
      Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi authored
      This change adds support on the kernel side to allow for BPF programs to
      call kernel module functions. Userspace will prepare an array of module
      BTF fds that is passed in during BPF_PROG_LOAD using fd_array parameter.
      In the kernel, the module BTFs are placed in the auxilliary struct for
      bpf_prog, and loaded as needed.
      
      The verifier then uses insn->off to index into the fd_array. insn->off
      0 is reserved for vmlinux BTF (for backwards compat), so userspace must
      use an fd_array index > 0 for module kfunc support. kfunc_btf_tab is
      sorted based on offset in an array, and each offset corresponds to one
      descriptor, with a max limit up to 256 such module BTFs.
      
      We also change existing kfunc_tab to distinguish each element based on
      imm, off pair as each such call will now be distinct.
      
      Another change is to check_kfunc_call callback, which now include a
      struct module * pointer, this is to be used in later patch such that the
      kfunc_id and module pointer are matched for dynamically registered BTF
      sets from loadable modules, so that same kfunc_id in two modules doesn't
      lead to check_kfunc_call succeeding. For the duration of the
      check_kfunc_call, the reference to struct module exists, as it returns
      the pointer stored in kfunc_btf_tab.
