Subject: [PATCH bpf-next/net 5/6] bpf: Introduce SK_BPF_BYPASS_PROT_MEM.

If a socket has sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem flagged, the socket opts out
of the global protocol memory accounting.

This is easily controlled by net.core.bypass_prot_mem sysctl, but it
lacks flexibility.

Let's support flagging (and clearing) sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem via
bpf_setsockopt() at the BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE hook.

  int val = 1;

  bpf_setsockopt(ctx, SOL_SOCKET, SK_BPF_BYPASS_PROT_MEM,
                 &val, sizeof(val));

As with net.core.bypass_prot_mem, this is inherited to child sockets,
and BPF always takes precedence over sysctl at socket(2) and accept(2).

SK_BPF_BYPASS_PROT_MEM is only supported at BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE
and not supported on other hooks for some reasons:

  1. UDP charges memory under sk->sk_receive_queue.lock instead
     of lock_sock()

  2. Modifying the flag after skb is charged to sk requires such
     adjustment during bpf_setsockopt() and complicates the logic
     unnecessarily

We can support other hooks later if a real use case justifies that.

Most changes are inline and hard to trace, but a microbenchmark on
__sk_mem_raise_allocated() during neper/tcp_stream showed that more
samples completed faster with sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem == 1.  This will
be more visible under tcp_mem pressure (but it's not a fair comparison).

  # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__sk_mem_raise_allocated { @start[tid] = nsecs; }
    kretprobe:__sk_mem_raise_allocated /@...rt[tid]/
    { @end[tid] = nsecs - @start[tid]; @times = hist(@end[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
  # tcp_stream -6 -F 1000 -N -T 256

Without bpf prog:

With bpf prog in the next patch:
  (must be attached before tcp_stream)
  # bpftool prog load sk_bypass_prot_mem.bpf.o /sys/fs/bpf/test type cgroup/sock_create
  # bpftool cgroup attach /sys/fs/cgroup/test cgroup_inet_sock_create pinned /sys/fs/bpf/test
