Add a new BPF command BPF_PROG_ASSOC_STRUCT_OPS to allow associating a BPF program with a struct_ops map. This command takes a file descriptor of a struct_ops map and a BPF program and set prog->aux->st_ops_assoc to the kdata of the struct_ops map. The command does not accept a struct_ops program nor a non-struct_ops map. Programs of a struct_ops map is automatically associated with the map during map update. If a program is shared between two struct_ops maps, prog->aux->st_ops_assoc will be poisoned to indicate that the associated struct_ops is ambiguous. The pointer, once poisoned, cannot be reset since we have lost track of associated struct_ops. For other program types, the associated struct_ops map, once set, cannot be changed later. This restriction may be lifted in the future if there is a use case. A kernel helper bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops() can be used to retrieve the associated struct_ops pointer. The returned pointer, if not NULL, is guaranteed to be valid and point to a fully updated struct_ops struct. For struct_ops program reused in multiple struct_ops map, the return will be NULL. prog->aux->st_ops_assoc is protected by bumping the refcount for non-struct_ops programs and RCU for struct_ops programs. Since it would be inefficient to track programs associated with a struct_ops map, every non-struct_ops program will bump the refcount of the map to make sure st_ops_assoc stays valid. For a struct_ops program, it is protected by RCU as map_free will wait for an RCU grace period before disassociating the program with the map. The helper must be called in BPF program context or RCU read-side critical section. struct_ops implementers should note that the struct_ops returned may not be initialized nor attached yet. The struct_ops implementer will be responsible for tracking and checking the state of the associated struct_ops map if the use case expects an initialized or attached struct_ops.
