Subject: [PATCH v6 net-next 3/6] bpf: introduce syscall(BPF, ...) and BPF maps

BPF syscall is a demux for different BPF releated commands.

'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
and userspace.

The maps can be created from user space via BPF syscall:
- create a map with given type and attributes
  fd = bpf_map_create(map_type, struct nlattr *attr, int len)
  returns fd or negative error

- close(fd) deletes the map

Next patch allows userspace programs to populate/read maps that eBPF programs
are concurrently updating.

maps can have different types: hash, bloom filter, radix-tree, etc.

The map is defined by:
  . type
  . max number of elements
  . key size in bytes
  . value size in bytes

This patch establishes core infrastructure for BPF maps.
Next patches implement lookup/update and hashtable type.
More map types can be added in the future.

syscall is using type-length-value style of passing arguments to be backwards
compatible with future extensions to map attributes. Different map types may
use different attributes as well.
The concept of type-lenght-value is borrowed from netlink, but netlink itself
is not applicable here, since BPF programs and maps can be used in NET-less
configurations.

+eBPF maps
+---------
+'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
+and userspace.
+
+The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands:
+- create a map with given type and attributes
+  map_fd = bpf_map_create(map_type, struct nlattr *attr, int len)
+  returns process-local file descriptor or negative error
+
+- lookup key in a given map
+  err = bpf_map_lookup_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
+  returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error
+
+- create or update key/value pair in a given map
+  err = bpf_map_update_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
+  returns zero or negative error
+
+- find and delete element by key in a given map
+  err = bpf_map_delete_elem(int fd, void *key)
+
+- to delete map: close(fd)
+  Exiting process will delete maps automatically
+
+userspace programs uses this API to create/populate/read maps that eBPF programs
+are concurrently updating.
+
+maps can have different types: hash, array, bloom filter, radix-tree, etc.
+
+The map is defined by:
+  . type
+  . max number of elements
+  . key size in bytes
+  . value size in bytes
+
+The maps are accesible from eBPF program with API:
+  void * bpf_map_lookup_elem(u32 map_fd, void *key);
+  int bpf_map_update_elem(u32 map_fd, void *key, void *value);
+  int bpf_map_delete_elem(u32 map_fd, void *key);
+
+The kernel replaces process-local map_fd with kernel internal map pointer,
+while loading eBPF program.
+
+If eBPF verifier is configured to recognize extra calls in the program
+bpf_map_lookup_elem() and bpf_map_update_elem() then access to maps looks like:
+  ...
+  ptr_to_value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, key)
+  access memory range [ptr_to_value, ptr_to_value + value_size_in_bytes)
+  ...
+  prepare key2 and value2 on stack of key_size and value_size
+  err = bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd, key2, value2)
+  ...
+
+eBPF program cannot create or delete maps
+(such calls will be unknown to verifier)
+
+During program loading the refcnt of used maps is incremented, so they don't get
+deleted while program is running
+
+bpf_map_update_elem() can fail if maximum number of elements reached.
+if key2 already exists, bpf_map_update_elem() replaces it with value2 atomically
+
+bpf_map_lookup_elem() returns NULL or ptr_to_value, so program must do
+if (ptr_to_value != NULL) check before accessing it.
+NULL means that element with given 'key' was not found.
+
+The verifier will check that the program accesses map elements within specified
+size. It will not let programs pass junk values to bpf_map_*_elem() functions,
+so these functions (implemented in C inside kernel) can safely access
+the pointers in all cases.
