Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/4] sys_bpf() access control via /dev/bpf

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Make default mode of /dev/bpf 0220 (Greg);
2. Rename ioctl commands as BPF_DEV_IOCTL_ENABLE_SYS_BPF and
   BPF_DEV_IOCTL_DISABLE_SYS_BPF (Daniel);
3. Save space for task_struct by reusing free bit (Daniel);
4. Make the permission per process (Lorenz).

Currently, most access to sys_bpf() is limited to root. However, there are
use cases that would benefit from non-privileged use of sys_bpf(), e.g.
systemd.

This set introduces a new model to control the access to sys_bpf(). A
special device, /dev/bpf, is introduced to manage access to sys_bpf().
Users with access to open /dev/bpf will be able to access most of
sys_bpf() features. The use can get access to sys_bpf() by opening /dev/bpf
and use ioctl to enable/disable the access.

The permission to access sys_bpf() is marked by bit bpf_permitted in
task_struct. During clone(), child will inherit this bit if CLONE_THREAD
is set. Therefore, the permission is shared within same user process,
but not via fork().

libbpf APIs libbpf_[enable|disable]_sys_bpf() are added to help get and
put the permission. bpftool is updated to use these APIs.

Song Liu (4):
  bpf: unprivileged BPF access via /dev/bpf
  bpf: sync tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
  libbpf: add libbpf_[enable|disable]_sys_bpf()
  bpftool: use libbpf_[enable|disable]_sys_bpf()
