This patchset implements a new type of map, instruction set, and uses
it to build support for indirect branches in BPF (on x86). (The same
map will be later used to provide support for indirect calls and static
keys.) See [1], [2] for more context.

Short table of contents:

  * Patches 1-6 implement the new map of type
    BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_SET and corresponding selftests. This map can
    be used to track the "original -> xlated -> jitted mapping" for
    a given program. Patches 5,6 add support for "blinded" variant.

  * Patches 7,8,9 implement the support for indirect jumps

  * Patches 10--13 add support for LLVM-compiled programs containing
    indirect jumps.

A special LLVM should be used for that, see [3] for the details and
some related discussions. Due to this fact, selftests for indirect
jumps which directly use `goto *rX` are commented out (such that
CI can run). Due to this fact, I've run test_progs compiled with
indirect jumps as described in [4] (in brief, all tests which
normally pass on my setup, pass with indirect jumps).

There is a list of TBDs (mostly, more selftests), but the list of
changes looks big enough to send the v2.

See individual patches for more details on the implementation details.

v2 -> v3:
  * fix build failure when CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not set (kbuild-bot)
  * reformat bpftool help messages (Quentin)

v1 -> v2:

  * push_stack changes:
    * sanitize_speculative_path should just return int (Eduard)
    * return code from sanitize_speculative_path, not EFAULT (Eduard)
    * when BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_JMP_SEQ is reached, return E2BIG (Eduard)

  * indirect jumps:
    * omit support for .imm=fd in gotox, as we're not using it for now (Eduard)
    * struct jt -> struct bpf_iarray (Eduard)
    * insn_successors: rewrite the interface to just return a pointer (Eduard)
    * remove min_index/max_index, use umin_value/umax_value instead (Alexei, Eduard)
    * move emit_indirect_jump args change to the previous patch (Eduard)
    * add a comment to map_mem_size() (Eduard)
    * use verifier_bug for some error cases in check_indirect_jump (Eduard)
    * clear_insn_aux_data: use start,len instead of start,end (Eduard)
    * make regs[insn->dst_reg].type = PTR_TO_INSN part of check_mem_access (Eduard)

  * constant blinding changes:
    * make subprog_start adjustment better readable (Eduard)
    * do not set subprog len, it is already set (Eduard)

  * libbpf:
    * remove check that relocations from .rodata are ok (Anton)
    * do not freeze the map, it is not necessary anymore (Anton)
    * rename the goto_x -> gotox everywhere (Anton)
    * use u64 when parsing LLVM jump tables (Eduard)
    * split patch in two due to spaces->tabs change (Eduard)
    * split bpftool changes to bpftool patch (Andrii)
    * make sym_size it a union with ext_idx (Andrii)
    * properly copy/free the jumptables_data section from elf (Andrii)
    * a few cosmetic changes around create_jt_map (Andrii)
    * fix some comments + rewrite patch description (Andrii)
    * inline bpf_prog__append_subprog_offsets (Andrii)
    * subprog_sec_offst -> subprog_sec_off (Andrii)
    * !strcmp -> strcmp() == 0 (Andrii)
    * make some function names more readable (Andrii)
    * allocate table of subfunc offsets via libbpf_reallocarray (Andrii)

  * selftests:
    * squash insn_array* tests together (Anton)

  * fixed build warnings (kernel test robot)

RFC -> v1:

  * I've tried to address all the comments provided by Alexei and
    Eduard in RFC. Will try to list the most important of them below.
  * One big change: move from older LLVM version [5] to newer [4].
    Now LLVM generates jump tables as symbols in the new special
    section ".jumptables". Another part of this change is that
    libbpf now doesn't try to link map load and goto *rX, as
    1) this is absolutely not reliable 2) for some use cases this
    is impossible (namely, when more than one jump table can be used
    in the same gotox instruction).
  * Added insn_successors() support (Alexei, Eduard). This includes
    getting rid of the ugly bpf_insn_set_iter_xlated_offset()
    interface (Eduard).
  * Removed hack for the unreachable instruction, as new LLVM thank to
    Eduard doesn't generate it.
  * Set mem_size for direct map access properly instead of hacking.
    Remove off>0 check. (Alexei)
  * Do not allocate new memory for min_index/max_index (Alexei, Eduard)
  * Information required during check_cfg is now cached to be reused
    later (Alexei + general logic for supporting multiple JT per jump)
  * Properly compare registers in regsafe (Alexei, Eduard)
  * Remove support for JMP32 (Eduard)
  * Better checks in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals (Eduard)
  * More selftests were added (but still there's room for more) which
    directly use gotox (Alexei)
  * More checks and verbose messages added
  * "unique pointers" are no more in the map
