bpf: Introduce BPF support for kernel module function calls
This change adds support on the kernel side to allow for BPF programs to call kernel module functions. Userspace will prepare an array of module BTF fds that is passed in during BPF_PROG_LOAD using fd_array parameter. In the kernel, the module BTFs are placed in the auxilliary struct for bpf_prog, and loaded as needed. The verifier then uses insn->off to index into the fd_array. insn->off is used by subtracting one from it, as userspace has to set the index of array in insn->off incremented by 1. This lets us denote vmlinux btf by insn->off == 0, and the module kfunc using insn->off > 0. They are sorted based on offset in an array, and each offset corresponds to one descriptor, with a max limit up to 256 such module BTFs. Another change is to check_kfunc_call callback, which now include a struct module * pointer, this is to be used in later patch such that the kfunc_id and module pointer are matched for dynamically registered BTF sets from loadable modules, so that same kfunc_id in two modules doesn't lead to check_kfunc_call succeeding. For the duration of the check_kfunc_call, the reference to struct module exists, as it returns the pointer stored in kfunc_btf_tab. Signed-off-by: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com>
