This adds support for running XDP programs through BPF_PROG_RUN in a mode that enables live packet processing of the resulting frames. Previous uses of BPF_PROG_RUN for XDP returned the XDP program return code and the modified packet data to userspace, which is useful for unit testing of XDP programs. The existing BPF_PROG_RUN for XDP allows userspace to set the ingress ifindex and RXQ number as part of the context object being passed to the kernel. This patch reuses that code, but adds a new mode with different semantics, which can be selected with the new BPF_F_TEST_XDP_LIVE_FRAMES flag. When running BPF_PROG_RUN in this mode, the XDP program return codes will be honoured: returning XDP_PASS will result in the frame being injected into the networking stack as if it came from the selected networking interface, while returning XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT will result in the frame being transmitted out that interface. XDP_TX is translated into an XDP_REDIRECT operation to the same interface, since the real XDP_TX action is only possible from within the network drivers themselves, not from the process context where BPF_PROG_RUN is executed. Internally, this new mode of operation creates a page pool instance while setting up the test run, and feeds pages from that into the XDP program. The setup cost of this is amortised over the number of repetitions specified by userspace. To support the performance testing use case, we further optimise the setup step so that all pages in the pool are pre-initialised with the packet data, and pre-computed context and xdp_frame objects stored at the start of each page. This makes it possible to entirely avoid touching the page content on each XDP program invocation, and enables sending up to 9 Mpps/core on my test box. Because the data pages are recycled by the page pool, and the test runner doesn't re-initialise them for each run, subsequent invocations of the XDP program will see the packet data in the state it was after the last time it ran on that particular page. This means that an XDP program that modifies the packet before redirecting it has to be careful about which assumptions it makes about the packet content, but that is only an issue for the most naively written programs. Enabling the new flag is only allowed when not setting ctx_out and data_out in the test specification, since using it means frames will be redirected somewhere else, so they can't be returned.
