Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 00/17] Introduce BPF trampoline

Introduce BPF trampoline that works as a bridge between kernel functions, BPF
programs and other BPF programs.

The first use case is fentry/fexit BPF programs that are roughly equivalent to
kprobe/kretprobe. Unlike k[ret]probe there is practically zero overhead to call
a set of BPF programs before or after kernel function.

The second use case is heavily influenced by pain points in XDP development.
BPF trampoline allows attaching similar fentry/fexit BPF program to any
networking BPF program. It's now possible to see packets on input and output of
any XDP, TC, lwt, cgroup programs without disturbing them. This greatly helps
BPF-based network troubleshooting.

The third use case of BPF trampoline will be explored in the follow up patches.
The BPF trampoline will be used to dynamicly link BPF programs. It's more
generic mechanism than array and link list of programs used in tracing,
networking, cgroups. In many cases it can be used as a replacement for
bpf_tail_call-based program chaining.

Goes without saying: all new features are root only.

v1->v2:
- Addressed Andrii's comments
- Added more test for fentry/fexit to kernel functions. Including stress test
  for maximum number of progs per trampoline.
- Fixed a race btf_resolve_helper_id()
- Added a patch to compare BTF types of functions arguments with actual types.
- Added support for attaching BPF program to another BPF program via trampoline
- Converted to use text_poke() API. That's the only viable mechanism to
  implement BPF-to-BPF attach. BPF-to-kernel attach can be refactored to use
  register_ftrace_direct() whenever it's available.

Most of the interesting details are in patches 2,3,13,14.
