Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 1/9] bpf: Extend BPF syscall with common attributes support

Extend the BPF syscall to support a set of common attributes shared
across all BPF commands:

1. 'log_buf': User-provided buffer for storing logs.
2. 'log_size': Size of the log buffer.
3. 'log_level': Log verbosity level.
4. 'log_true_size': The size of log reported by kernel.

These common attributes are passed as the 4th argument to the BPF
syscall, with the 5th argument specifying the size of this structure.

To indicate the use of these common attributes from userspace, a new flag
'BPF_COMMON_ATTRS' ('1 << 16') is introduced. This flag is OR-ed into the
'cmd' field of the syscall.

When 'cmd & BPF_COMMON_ATTRS' is set, the kernel will copy the common
attributes from userspace into kernel space for use.
