bpf: Implement bpf iterator for map elements
The bpf iterator for map elements are implemented. The bpf program will receive four parameters: bpf_iter_meta *meta: the meta data bpf_map *map: the bpf_map whose elements are traversed void *key: the key of one element void *value: the value of the same element Here, meta and map pointers are always valid, and key has register type PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL and value has register type PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL. The kernel will track the access range of key and value during verification time. Later, these values will be compared against the values in the actual map to ensure all accesses are within range. A new field iter_seq_info is added to bpf_map_ops which is used to add map type specific information, i.e., seq_ops, init/fini seq_file func and seq_file private data size. Subsequent patches will have actual implementation for bpf_map_ops->iter_seq_info. In user space, BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD needs to be specified in prog attr->link_create.flags, which indicates that attr->link_create.target_fd is a map_fd. The reason for such an explicit flag is for possible future cases where one bpf iterator may allow more than one possible customization, e.g., pid and cgroup id for task_file. Current kernel internal implementation only allows the target to register at most one required bpf_iter_link_info. To support the above case, optional bpf_iter_link_info's are needed, the target can be extended to register such link infos, and user provided link_info needs to match one of target supported ones.
