[xdp-hints] [PATCH bpf-next 00/11] xdp: hints via kfuncs

[Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@google.com>]

Please see the first patch in the series for the overall
design and use-cases.

Changes since last RFC:

- drop ice/bnxt example implementation (Alexander)

  -ENOHARDWARE to test

- fix/test mlx4 implementation

  Confirmed that I get reasonable looking timestamp.
  The last patch in the series is the small xsk program that can
  be used to dump incoming metadata.

- bpf_push64/bpf_pop64 (Alexei)

  x86_64+arm64(untested)+disassembler

- struct xdp_to_skb_metadata -> struct xdp_skb_metadata (Toke)

  s/xdp_to_skb/xdp_skb/

- Documentation/bpf/xdp-rx-metadata.rst

  Documents functionality, assumptions and limitations.

- bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb returns true/false (Martin)

  Plus xdp_md->skb_metadata field to access it.

- BPF_F_XDP_HAS_METADATA flag (Toke/Martin)

  Drop magic, use the flag instead.

- drop __randomize_layout

  Not sure it's possible to sanely expose it via UAPI. Because every
  .o potentially gets its own randomized layout, test_progs
  refuses to link.

- remove __net_timestamp in veth driver (John/Jesper)

  Instead, calling ktime_get from the kfunc; enough for the selftests.

Future work on RX side:

- Support more devices besides veth and mlx4
- Support more metadata besides RX timestamp.
- Convert skb_metadata_set() callers to xdp_convert_skb_metadata()
  which handles extra xdp_skb_metadata

Prior art (to record pros/cons for different approaches):

- Stable UAPI approach:
