[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/2] bpf: change uapi for bpf iterator map elements

[Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com>]

Andrii raised a concern that current uapi for bpf iterator map
element is a little restrictive and not suitable for future potential
complex customization. This is a valid suggestion, considering people
may indeed add more complex custimization to the iterator, e.g.,
cgroup_id + user_id, etc. for task or task_file. Another example might
be map_id plus additional control so that the bpf iterator may bail
out a bucket earlier if a bucket has too many elements which may hold
lock too long and impact other parts of systems.

Patch #1 modified uapi with kernel changes. Patch #2
adjusted libbpf api accordingly.

Changelogs:
  v1 -> v2:
    . ensure link_create target_fd/flags == 0 since they are not used. (Andrii)
    . if either of iter_info ptr == 0 or iter_info_len == 0, but not both,
      return error to user space. (Andrii)
    . do not reject iter_info.map.map_fd == 0, go ahead to use it trying to
      get a map reference since the map_fd is required for map_elem iterator.
    . use bpf_iter_link_info in bpf_iter_attach_opts instead of map_fd.
      this way, user space is responsible to set up bpf_iter_link_info and
      libbpf just passes the data to the kernel, simplifying libbpf design.
      (Andrii)
