Streamline BPF_TRACE_x macro by moving out return type and section attribute
definition out of macro itself. That makes those function look in source code
similar to other BPF programs. Additionally, simplify its usage by determining
number of arguments automatically (so just single BPF_TRACE vs a family of
BPF_TRACE_1, BPF_TRACE_2, etc). Also, allow more natural function argument
syntax without commas inbetween argument type and name.
Given this helper is useful not only for tracing tp_btf/fenty/fexit programs,
but could be used for LSM programs and others following the same pattern,
rename BPF_TRACE macro into more generic BPF_PROG. Existing BPF_TRACE_x
usages in selftests are converted to new BPF_PROG macro.
Following the same pattern, define BPF_KPROBE and BPF_KRETPROBE macros for
nicer usage of kprobe/kretprobe arguments, respectively. BPF_KRETPROBE, adopts
same convention used by fexit programs, that last defined argument is probed
function's return result.
v4->v5:
- fix test_overhead test (__set_task_comm is void) (Alexei);
v3->v4:
- rebased and fixed one more BPF_TRACE_x occurence (Alexei);
v2->v3:
- rename to shorter and as generic BPF_PROG (Alexei);
v1->v2:
- verified GCC handles pragmas as expected;
- added descriptions to macros;
- converted new STRUCT_OPS selftest to BPF_HANDLER (worked as expected);
- added original context as 'ctx' parameter, for cases where it has to be
passed into BPF helpers. This might cause an accidental naming collision,
unfortunately, but at least it's easy to work around. Fortunately, this
situation produces quite legible compilation error:
progs/bpf_dctcp.c:46:6: error: redefinition of 'ctx' with a different type: 'int' vs 'unsigned long long *'
int ctx = 123;
^
progs/bpf_dctcp.c:42:6: note: previous definition is here

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.
