This patch allows the kernel's struct ops (i.e. func ptr) to be implemented in BPF. The first use case in this series is the "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which will be introduced in a latter patch. This patch introduces a new prog type BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. The BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is verified against a particular func ptr of a kernel struct. The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id of a kernel struct. The attr->expected_attach_type is the member "index" of that kernel struct. The first member of a struct starts with member index 0. That will avoid ambiguity when a kernel struct has multiple func ptrs with the same func signature. For example, a BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is written to implement the "init" func ptr of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops". The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops" of the _running_ kernel. The attr->expected_attach_type is 3. The ctx of BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS is an array of u64 args saved by arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline that will be done in the next patch when introducing BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. "struct bpf_struct_ops" is introduced as a common interface for the kernel struct that supports BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog. The supporting kernel struct will need to implement an instance of the "struct bpf_struct_ops". The supporting kernel struct also needs to implement a bpf_verifier_ops. During BPF_PROG_LOAD, bpf_struct_ops_find() will find the right bpf_verifier_ops by searching the attr->attach_btf_id. A new "btf_struct_access" is also added to the bpf_verifier_ops such that the supporting kernel struct can optionally provide its own specific check on accessing the func arg (e.g. provide limited write access). After btf_vmlinux is parsed, the new bpf_struct_ops_init() is called to initialize some values (e.g. the btf id of the supporting kernel struct) and it can only be done once the btf_vmlinux is available. The R0 checks at BPF_EXIT is excluded for the BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog if the return type of the prog->aux->attach_func_proto is "void".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
