[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/4] Optimize bpf_csum_diff() and homogenize for all archs

[Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org>]

Changes in v2:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241021122112.101513-1-puranjay@kernel.org/
- Remove the patch that adds the benchmark as it is not useful enough to be
  added to the tree.
- Fixed a sparse warning in patch 1.
- Add reviewed-by and acked-by tags.

NOTE: There are some sparse warning in net/core/filter.c but those are not
worth fixing because bpf helpers take and return u64 values and using them
in csum related functions that take and return __sum16 / __wsum would need
a lot of casts everywhere.

The bpf_csum_diff() helper currently returns different values on different
architectures because it calls csum_partial() that is either implemented by
the architecture like x86_64, arm, etc or uses the generic implementation
in lib/checksum.c like arm64, riscv, etc.

The implementation in lib/checksum.c returns the folded result that is
16-bit long, but the architecture specific implementation can return an
unfolded value that is larger than 16-bits.

The helper uses a per-cpu scratchpad buffer for copying the data and then
computing the csum on this buffer. This can be optimised by utilising some
mathematical properties of csum.

The patch 1 in this series does preparatory work for homogenizing the
helper. patch 2 does the changes to the helper itself. The performance gain
can be seen in the tables below that are generated using the benchmark
built in patch 4 of v1 of this series:

Patch 3 reverts a hack that was done to make the selftest pass on all
architectures.

Patch 4 adds a selftest for this helper to verify the results produced by
this helper in multiple modes and edge cases.

Puranjay Mohan (4):
  net: checksum: move from32to16() to generic header
  bpf: bpf_csum_diff: optimize and homogenize for all archs
  selftests/bpf: don't mask result of bpf_csum_diff() in test_verifier
  selftests/bpf: Add a selftest for bpf_csum_diff()
