Introduce bpf_link abstraction, representing an attachment of BPF program to
a BPF hook point (e.g., tracepoint, perf event, etc). bpf_link encapsulates
ownership of attached BPF program, reference counting of a link itself, when
reference from multiple anonymous inodes, as well as ensures that release
callback will be called from a process context, so that users can safely take
mutex locks and sleep.

Additionally, with a new abstraction it's now possible to generalize pinning
of a link object in BPF FS, allowing to explicitly prevent BPF program
detachment on process exit by pinning it in a BPF FS and let it open from
independent other process to keep working with it.

Convert two existing bpf_link-like objects (raw tracepoint and tracing BPF
program attachments) into utilizing bpf_link framework, making them pinnable
in BPF FS. More FD-based bpf_links will be added in follow up patches.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
 "Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
  of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
  the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
  every time something got added to that system-wide registry.

  New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
  namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
  they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
  useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
  to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.

  And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
  pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
  things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
  do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
  blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.

  Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
  lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"

kernel/bpf/inode.c misuses kern_path...() - it's much simpler (and
more efficient, on top of that) to use user_path...() counterparts
rather than bothering with doing getname() manually.

Similarly to bpf_map's refcnt/usercnt, convert bpf_prog's refcnt to atomic64
and remove artificial 32k limit. This allows to make bpf_prog's refcounting
non-failing, simplifying logic of users of bpf_prog_add/bpf_prog_inc.

Validated compilation by running allyesconfig kernel build.

<title>bpf: Switch bpf_map ref counter to atomic64_t so bpf_map_inc() never fails</title>

92117d8443bc ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into
potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit
(32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow
refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while
there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems.

But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One
example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user
is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily
splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without
any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends
notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close
callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping
creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map
(see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not
supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly
referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps.

One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings
and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively.
There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra
counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that
doesn't scale well to various new use cases.

Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which
uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX,
stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free.

But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF
maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to
64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging
32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above
described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation.

In terms of struct bpf_map size, we are still good and use the same amount of
space:

This patch, while modifying all users of bpf_map_inc, also cleans up its
interface to match bpf_map_put with separate operations for bpf_map_inc and
bpf_map_inc_with_uref (to match bpf_map_put and bpf_map_put_with_uref,
respectively). Also, given there are no users of bpf_map_inc_not_zero
specifying uref=true, remove uref flag and default to uref=false internally.

Convert the bpf filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
