    bpf: Add hash of maps support · bcc6b1b7
    Martin KaFai Lau 提交于
    This patch adds hash of maps support (hashmap->bpf_map).
    BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS is added.
    
    A map-in-map contains a pointer to another map and lets call
    this pointer 'inner_map_ptr'.
    
    Notes on deleting inner_map_ptr from a hash map:
    
    1. For BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC map-in-map, when deleting
       an inner_map_ptr, the htab_elem itself will go through
       a rcu grace period and the inner_map_ptr resides
       in the htab_elem.
    
    2. For pre-allocated htab_elem (!BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC),
       when deleting an inner_map_ptr, the htab_elem may
       get reused immediately.  This situation is similar
       to the existing prealloc-ated use cases.
    
       However, the bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() calls bpf_map_put() which calls
       inner_map->ops->map_free(inner_map) which will go
       through a rcu grace period (i.e. all bpf_map's map_free
       currently goes through a rcu grace period).  Hence,
       the inner_map_ptr is still safe for the rcu reader side.
    
    This patch also includes BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS to the
    check_map_prealloc() in the verifier.  preallocation is a
    must for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT.  Hence, even we don't expect
    heavy updates to map-in-map, enforcing BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC for map-in-map
    is impossible without disallowing BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT from using
    map-in-map first.
