Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/7] bpf: add array type of eBPF maps

add new map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and its implementation

- optimized for fastest possible lookup()
  . in the future verifier/JIT may recognize lookup() with constant key
    and optimize it into constant pointer. Can optimize non-constant
    key into direct pointer arithmetic as well, since pointers and
    value_size are constant for the life of the eBPF program.
    In other words array_map_lookup_elem() may be 'inlined' by verifier/JIT
    while preserving concurrent access to this map from user space

- two main use cases for array type:
  . 'global' eBPF variables: array of 1 element with key=0 and value is a
    collection of 'global' variables which programs can use to keep the state
    between events
  . aggregation of tracing events into fixed set of buckets

- all array elements pre-allocated and zero initialized at init time

- key as an index in array and can only be 4 byte

- map_delete_elem() returns EINVAL, since elements cannot be deleted

- map_update_elem() replaces elements in an non-atomic way
  (for atomic updates hashtable type should be used instead)

Note, from eBPF program and from user space, all map types are accessed
through the same API.

Example of using array type for 'global' variables from eBPF program:
struct globals {
    u64 lat_ave;
    u64 lat_sum;
    u64 missed;
    u64 max_lat;
    int num_samples;
};

struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") global_map = {
    .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
    .key_size = sizeof(int),
    .value_size = sizeof(struct globals),
    .max_entries = 1,
};

int bpf_prog(struct bpf_context *ctx)
{
    ...
    int ind = 0;
    struct globals *g = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&global_map, &ind);
    if (!g)
            return 0;
    if (g->lat_ave == 0) {
            g->num_samples++;
            g->lat_sum += delta;
            if (g->num_samples >= 100) {
                    g->lat_ave = g->lat_sum / g->num_samples;
    ...

The future verifier/JIT optimization will replace bpf_map_lookup_elem()
call inside eBPF program with const pointer to element value of key=0,
so that eBPF program will have no penalty whatsoever to access such
'global' variables.
At the same time user space can access this 'globals' via common map API.

Full example of both kernel and user side follows in later patches.
