This patch adds a few bpf mem allocator functions which will
be used in the bpf_local_storage in a later patch.
bpf_mem_cache_alloc_flags(..., gfp_t flags) is added. When the
flags == GFP_KERNEL, it will fallback to __alloc(..., GFP_KERNEL).
bpf_local_storage knows its running context is sleepable (GFP_KERNEL)
and provides a better guarantee on memory allocation.
bpf_local_storage has some uncommon cases that its selem
cannot be reused immediately. It handles its own
rcu_head and goes through a rcu_trace gp and then free it.
bpf_mem_cache_raw_free() is added for direct free purpose
without leaking the LLIST_NODE_SZ internal knowledge.
During free time, the 'struct bpf_mem_alloc *ma' is no longer
available. However, the caller should know if it is
percpu memory or not and it can call different raw_free functions.
bpf_local_storage does not support percpu value, so only
the non-percpu 'bpf_mem_cache_raw_free()' is added in
this patch.

Currently the freed element in bpf memory allocator may be immediately
reused, for htab map the reuse will reinitialize special fields in map
value (e.g., bpf_spin_lock), but lookup procedure may still access
these special fields, and it may lead to hard-lockup as shown below:

For htab map, just like the preallocated case, these is no need to
initialize these special fields in map value again once these fields
have been initialized. For preallocated htab map, these fields are
initialized through __GFP_ZERO in bpf_map_area_alloc(), so do the
similar thing for non-preallocated htab in bpf memory allocator. And
there is no need to use __GFP_ZERO for per-cpu bpf memory allocator,
because __alloc_percpu_gfp() does it implicitly.

We can simply set root memcg as the map's memcg to disable bpf memory
accounting. bpf_map_area_alloc is a little special as it gets the memcg
from current rather than from the map, so we need to disable GFP_ACCOUNT
specifically for it.

When there are batched freeing operations on a specific CPU, part of
the freed elements ((high_watermark - lower_watermark) / 2 + 1) will be
indirectly moved into waiting_for_gp list through free_by_rcu list.
After call_rcu_in_progress becomes false again, the remaining elements
in free_by_rcu list will be moved to waiting_for_gp list by the next
invocation of free_bulk(). However if the expiration of RCU tasks trace
grace period is relatively slow, none element in free_by_rcu list will
be moved.
So instead of invoking __alloc_percpu_gfp() or kmalloc_node() to
allocate a new object, in alloc_bulk() just check whether or not there is
freed element in free_by_rcu list and reuse it if available.

A busy irq work is an unfinished irq work and it can be either in the
pending state or in the running state. When destroying bpf memory
allocator, refill_work may be busy for PREEMPT_RT kernel in which irq
work is invoked in a per-CPU RT-kthread. It is also possible for kernel
with arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() being false (e.g. 1-cpu arm32 host or
mips) and irq work is inovked in timer interrupt.
The busy refill_work leads to various issues. The obvious one is that
there will be concurrent operations on free_by_rcu and free_list between
irq work and memory draining. Another one is call_rcu_in_progress will
not be reliable for the checking of pending RCU callback because
do_call_rcu() may have not been invoked by irq work yet. The other is
there will be use-after-free if irq work is freed before the callback
of irq work is invoked as shown below:

The memory free logic in bpf memory allocator chains a RCU Tasks Trace
grace period and a normal RCU grace period one after the other, so it
can ensure that both sleepable and non-sleepable programs have finished.
With the introduction of rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp(),
__free_rcu_tasks_trace() can check whether or not a normal RCU grace
period has also passed after a RCU Tasks Trace grace period has passed.
If it is true, freeing these elements directly, else freeing through

User space might be creating and destroying a lot of hash maps. Synchronous
rcu_barrier-s in a destruction path of hash map delay freeing of hash buckets
and other map memory and may cause artificial OOM situation under stress.
Optimize rcu_barrier usage between bpf hash map and bpf_mem_alloc:
- remove rcu_barrier from hash map, since htab doesn't use call_rcu
directly and there are no callback to wait for.
- bpf_mem_alloc has call_rcu_in_progress flag that indicates pending callbacks.
Use it to avoid barriers in fast path.
- When barriers are needed copy bpf_mem_alloc into temp structure
and wait for rcu barrier-s in the worker to let the rest of
hash map freeing to proceed.

For bpf_mem_cache based hash maps the following stress test:
for (i = 1; i <= 512; i <<= 1)
for (j = 1; j <= 1 << 18; j <<= 1)
fd = bpf_map_create(BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, NULL, i, j, 2, 0);
creates many kmem_cache-s that are not mergeable in debug kernels
and consume unnecessary amount of memory.
Turned out bpf_mem_cache's free_list logic does batching well,
so usage of kmem_cache for fixes size allocations doesn't bring
any performance benefits vs normal kmalloc.
Hence get rid of kmem_cache in bpf_mem_cache.
That saves memory, speeds up map create/destroy operations,
while maintains hash map update/delete performance.

Extend bpf_mem_alloc to cache free list of fixed size per-cpu allocations.
Once such cache is created bpf_mem_cache_alloc() will return per-cpu objects.
bpf_mem_cache_free() will free them back into global per-cpu pool after
observing RCU grace period.
per-cpu flavor of bpf_mem_alloc is going to be used by per-cpu hash maps.
The free list cache consists of tuples { llist_node, per-cpu pointer }
Unlike alloc_percpu() that returns per-cpu pointer
the bpf_mem_cache_alloc() returns a pointer to per-cpu pointer and
bpf_mem_cache_free() expects to receive it back.

Doing call_rcu() million times a second becomes a bottle neck.
Convert non-preallocated hash map from call_rcu to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.
The rcu critical section is no longer observed for one htab element
which makes non-preallocated hash map behave just like preallocated hash map.
The map elements are released back to kernel memory after observing
rcu critical section.
This improves 'map_perf_test 4' performance from 100k events per second
to 250k events per second.
bpf_mem_alloc + percpu_counter + typesafe_by_rcu provide 10x performance
boost to non-preallocated hash map and make it within few % of preallocated map

Tracing BPF programs can attach to kprobe and fentry. Hence they
run in unknown context where calling plain kmalloc() might not be safe.
Front-end kmalloc() with minimal per-cpu cache of free elements.
Refill this cache asynchronously from irq_work.
BPF programs always run with migration disabled.
It's safe to allocate from cache of the current cpu with irqs disabled.
Free-ing is always done into bucket of the current cpu as well.
irq_work trims extra free elements from buckets with kfree
and refills them with kmalloc, so global kmalloc logic takes care
of freeing objects allocated by one cpu and freed on another.
struct bpf_mem_alloc supports two modes:
- When size != 0 create kmem_cache and bpf_mem_cache for each cpu.
This is typical bpf hash map use case when all elements have equal size.
- When size == 0 allocate 11 bpf_mem_cache-s for each cpu, then rely on
kmalloc/kfree. Max allocation size is 4096 in this case.
This is bpf_dynptr and bpf_kptr use case.
bpf_mem_alloc/bpf_mem_free are bpf specific 'wrappers' of kmalloc/kfree.
bpf_mem_cache_alloc/bpf_mem_cache_free are 'wrappers' of kmem_cache_alloc/kmem_cache_free.
The allocators are NMI-safe from bpf programs only. They are not NMI-safe in general.
