BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH can recycle most recent elements well before the
map is full, due to percpu reservations and force shrink before
neighbor stealing. Once a CPU is unable to borrow from the global map,
it will once steal one elem from a neighbor and after that each time
flush this one element to the global list and immediately recycle it.
Batch value LOCAL_FREE_TARGET (128) will exhaust a 10K element map
with 79 CPUs. CPU 79 will observe this behavior even while its
neighbors hold 78 * 127 + 1 * 15 == 9921 free elements (99%).
CPUs need not be active concurrently. The issue can appear with
affinity migration, e.g., irqbalance. Each CPU can reserve and then
hold onto its 128 elements indefinitely.
Avoid global list exhaustion by limiting aggregate percpu caches to
half of map size, by adjusting LOCAL_FREE_TARGET based on cpu count.
This change has no effect on sufficiently large tables.
Similar to LOCAL_NR_SCANS and lru->nr_scans, introduce a map variable
lru->free_target. The extra field fits in a hole in struct bpf_lru.
The cacheline is already warm where read in the hot path. The field is
only accessed with the lru lock held.

Instead of hardcoding the list of kfuncs that need prog->aux passed to
them with a combination of fixup_kfunc_call adjustment + __ign suffix,
combine both in __prog suffix, which ignores the argument passed in, and
fixes it up to the prog->aux. This allows kfuncs to have the prog->aux
passed into them without having to touch the verifier.

imm is defined as a 32-bit signed integer.
{MOV, K, ALU64} says it does "dst = src" (where src is 'imm') and it
does do dst = (s64)imm, which in that sense does sign extend imm. The MOVSX
instruction is explained as sign extending, so added the example of
{MOV, K, ALU64} to make this more clear.
{JLE, K, JMP} says it does "PC += offset if dst <= src" (where src is 'imm',
and the comparison is unsigned). This was apparently ambiguous to some
readers as to whether the comparison was "dst <= (u64)(u32)imm" or
"dst <= (u64)(s64)imm" so added an example to make this more clear.

In preparation for publication as an IETF RFC, the WG chairs asked me
to convert the document to use IETF packet format for field layout, so
this patch attempts to make it consistent with other IETF documents.
Some fields that are not byte aligned were previously inconsistent
in how values were defined. Some were defined as the value of the
byte containing the field (like 0x20 for a field holding the high
four bits of the byte), and others were defined as the value of the
field itself (like 0x2). This PR makes them be consistent in using
just the values of the field itself, which is IETF convention.
As a result, some of the defines that used BPF_* would no longer
match the value in the spec, and so this patch also drops the BPF_*
prefix to avoid confusion with the defines that are the full-byte
equivalent values. For consistency, BPF_* is then dropped from
other fields too. BPF_<foo> is thus the Linux implementation-specific
define for <foo> as it appears in the BPF ISA specification.
The syntax BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU only worked for full-byte
values so the convention {ADD, X, ALU} is proposed for referring
to field values instead.
Also replace the redundant "LSB bits" with "least significant bits".
A preview of what the resulting Internet Draft would look like can
be seen at:

index 0 is out of range for type '__u8 [*]'
Changing struct bpf_lpm_trie_key is difficult since has been used by
userspace. For example, in Cilium:
struct egress_gw_policy_key {
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key lpm_key;
__u32 saddr;
__u32 daddr;
};
While direct references to the "data" member haven't been found, there
are static initializers what include the final member. For example,
the "{}" here:
struct egress_gw_policy_key in_key = {
.lpm_key = { 32 + 24, {} },
.saddr = CLIENT_IP,
.daddr = EXTERNAL_SVC_IP & 0Xffffff,
};
To avoid the build time and run time warnings seen with a 0-sized
trailing array for struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, introduce a new struct
that correctly uses a flexible array for the trailing bytes,
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8. As part of this, include the "header"
portion (which is just the "prefixlen" member), so it can be used
by anything building a bpf_lpr_trie_key that has trailing members that
aren't a u8 flexible array (like the self-test[1]), which is named
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr.
Unfortunately, C++ refuses to parse the __struct_group() helper, so
it is not possible to define struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr directly in
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8, so we must open-code the union directly.
Adjust the kernel code to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8 through-out,
and for the selftest to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr. Add a comment
to the UAPI header directing folks to the two new options.

It does the following:
* Split basic into base32 and base64 for 32-bit vs 64-bit base
instructions
* Split division/multiplication/modulo instructions out of base groups
* Split atomic instructions out of base groups
There may be additional changes as discussion continues,

This commit marks kfuncs as such inside the .BTF_ids section. The upshot
of these annotations is that we'll be able to automatically generate
kfunc prototypes for downstream users. The process is as follows:
1. In source, use BTF_KFUNCS_START/END macro pair to mark kfuncs
2. During build, pahole injects into BTF a "bpf_kfunc" BTF_DECL_TAG for
each function inside BTF_KFUNCS sets
3. At runtime, vmlinux or module BTF is made available in sysfs
4. At runtime, bpftool (or similar) can look at provided BTF and
generate appropriate prototypes for functions with "bpf_kfunc" tag
To ensure future kfunc are similarly tagged, we now also return error
inside kfunc registration for untagged kfuncs. For vmlinux kfuncs,
we also WARN(), as initcall machinery does not handle errors.

For 64-bit immediate instruction, 'BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD' and
src_reg=[0-6], the current documentation describes the 64-bit
immediate is constructed by:
imm64 = (next_imm << 32) | imm
But actually imm64 is only used when src_reg=0. For all other
variants (src_reg != 0), 'imm' and 'next_imm' have separate special
encoding requirement and imm64 cannot be easily used to describe
instruction semantics.
This patch clarifies that 64-bit immediate instructions use
two 32-bit immediate values instead of a 64-bit immediate value,
so later describing individual 64-bit immediate instructions
becomes less confusing.

- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following a
warning that was added in 6.2.
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to, hopefully,
make it more useful.
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly with
__counted_by annotations.
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the delightful
consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs build. A sustained
effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has addressed almost all of those,
bringing the documentation back into sync with the code. The fixes are
going through the appropriate maintainer trees.
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic links
to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations easy to
access.
- Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese.
...plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes.

It can be useful to query how many bits are set in a cpumask. For
example, if you want to perform special logic for the last remaining
core that's set in a mask. Let's therefore add a new
bpf_cpumask_weight() kfunc which checks how many bits are set in a mask.
