      ====================
      This set adds native eBPF support also to act_bpf and thus covers tc
      with eBPF in the classifier *and* action part.
      
      A link to iproute2 preview has been provided in patch 2 and the code
      will be pushed out after Stephen has processed the classifier part
      and helper bits for tc.
      
      This set depends on ced585c8 ("act_bpf: allow non-default TC_ACT
      opcodes as BPF exec outcome"), so a net into net-next merge would be
      required first. Hope that's fine by you, Dave. ;)

      act_bpf: add initial eBPF support for actions · a8cb5f55
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This work extends the "classic" BPF programmable tc action by extending
      its scope also to native eBPF code!
      
      Together with commit e2e9b654 ("cls_bpf: add initial eBPF support
      for programmable classifiers") this adds the facility to implement fully
      flexible classifier and actions for tc that can be implemented in a C
      subset in user space, "safely" loaded into the kernel, and being run in
      native speed when JITed.
      
      Also, since eBPF maps can be shared between eBPF programs, it offers the
      possibility that cls_bpf and act_bpf can share data 1) between themselves
      and 2) between user space applications. That means that, f.e. customized
      runtime statistics can be collected in user space, but also more importantly
      classifier and action behaviour could be altered based on map input from
      the user space application.
      
      For the remaining details on the workflow and integration, see the cls_bpf
      commit e2e9b654. Preliminary iproute2 part can be found under [1].
