This PATCHes attempts to introduce BPF injection capability for SMC,
and add selftest to ensure code stability.

As we all know that the SMC protocol is not suitable for all scenarios,
especially for short-lived. However, for most applications, they cannot
guarantee that there are no such scenarios at all. Therefore, apps
may need some specific strategies to decide shall we need to use SMC
or not, for example, apps can limit the scope of the SMC to a specific
IP address or port.

Based on the consideration of transparent replacement, we hope that apps
can remain transparent even if they need to formulate some specific
strategies for SMC using. That is, do not need to recompile their code.

On the other hand, we need to ensure the scalability of strategies
implementation. Although it is simple to use socket options or sysctl,
it will bring more complexity to subsequent expansion.

Fortunately, BPF can solve these concerns very well, users can write
thire own strategies in eBPF to choose whether to use SMC or not.
And it's quite easy for them to modify their strategies in the future.

This PATCHes implement injection capability for SMC via struct_ops.
In that way, we can add new injection scenarios in the future.

Sorry for forgot to cc the maintainer of BPF,
please ignore this. I will resend a new version.

net-next is closed.

You'll need to repost it, either as an RFC, or wait until after
v6.3-rc1 has been tagged.

I had repost it to bpf-next, but thank you for your reminding!

Best wishes.

Sorry, my mistake.
