bpf: tcp: Add a new per-socket flag and kfunc for bpf_tcp_ops.
The legacy SOCK_OPS guards some hooks with a per-socket flag,
tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags.
In contrast, bpf_tcp_ops was initially designed without per-socket
flags so that users can simply define only the callbacks they need.
However, it turned out that even attaching a bpf_tcp_ops with a NULL
callback incurs measurable overhead in the fast path. [0]
We could reuse tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags, but it is u8 and has only
1 bit left for a new opt-in callback, while not all of the 7 existing
opt-in hooks are in the fast path and really need a flag guard.
Moreover, tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags has two bpf helper functions to
update it, both of which require sock_owned_by_me(sk):
* bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set()
* bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_SOCK_OPS_CB_FLAGS)
Both helpers only overwrite the field, which leads to reading and
modifying the flags in the BPF prog and then writing them back
via the helper. This prevents use from the fast path (tc or
cgroup_skb) hooks where bh_lock_sock() alone cannot prevent races
with process context.
Let's add a new u32 field, tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags, at the end of the
tcp_sock_read_txrx cacheline group, along with a new kfunc,
bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags().
bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags() takes bitmasks of flags to enable and
disable and updates tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags atomically via
try_cmpxchg() without relying on lock_sock().
The kfunc is exposed to bpf_tcp_ops, BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT,
and BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB.
The first argument is struct tcp_sock * so that bpf_tcp_sock() etc
is required for cgroup hooks, but not for bpf_tcp_ops where struct
sock * is promoted to struct tcp_sock * automatically.
The fast-path callbacks will be guarded by the new flags in a later
patch after updating the existing selftest to avoid breaking bisection.
