[xdp-hints] [PATCH RFC bpf-next 24/52] bpf, xdp: declare generic XDP metadata structure

[Alexander Lobakin <alexandr.lobakin@intel.com>]

From: Michal Swiatkowski <michal.swiatkowski@linux.intel.com>

The generic XDP metadata is a driver-independent "header" which
carries the essential info such as the checksum status, the hash
etc. It can be composed by both hardware and software (drivers)
and is designed to pass that info, usually taken from the NIC
descriptors, between the different subsystems and layers in one
unified format.
As it's "cross-everything" and can be composed by hardware
(primarily SmartNICs), an explicit Endianness is required. Most
hardware and hosts operate in LE nowadays, so the choice was
obvious although network frames themselves are in BE. The byteswap
macros will be no-ops for LE systems.
The first and the last field must always be 2-byte one to have
a natural alignment of 4 and 8 byte members on 32-bit platforms
where there's an "IP align" 2-byte padding in front of the data:
the first member paired with that padding makes the next one
aligned to 4 bytes, the last one stacks with the Ethernet header
to make its end aligned to 4 bytes.
As it's being prepended right in front of the Ethernet header, it
grows to the left, so all new fields must be added at the beginning
of the structure in the future.
The related definitions are declared inside an enum so that they're
visible to BPF programs. The struct is declared in UAPI so AF_XDP
programs, which can work with metadata as well, would have access
to it.
