bpf: expand BPF syscall with program load/unload
eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the user process and automatically unloaded when process exits. Each eBPF program is a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier statically determines that the program terminates and is safe to execute. The following syscall wrapper can be used to load the program: int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type, const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt, const char *license) { union bpf_attr attr = { .prog_type = prog_type, .insns = ptr_to_u64(insns), .insn_cnt = insn_cnt, .license = ptr_to_u64(license), }; return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr)); } where 'insns' is an array of eBPF instructions and 'license' is a string that must be GPL compatible to call helper functions marked gpl_only Upon succesful load the syscall returns prog_fd. Use close(prog_fd) to unload the program. User space tests and examples follow in the later patches Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
