[v11,bpf-next,00/18] mvneta: introduce XDP multi-buffer support

Message

This series introduce XDP multi-buffer support. The mvneta driver is
the first to support these new "non-linear" xdp_{buff,frame}. Reviewers
please focus on how these new types of xdp_{buff,frame} packets
traverse the different layers and the layout design. It is on purpose
that BPF-helpers are kept simple, as we don't want to expose the
internal layout to allow later changes.

The main idea for the new multi-buffer layout is to reuse the same
structure used for non-linear SKB. This rely on the "skb_shared_info"
struct at the end of the first buffer to link together subsequent
buffers. Keeping the layout compatible with SKBs is also done to ease
and speedup creating a SKB from an xdp_{buff,frame}.
Converting xdp_frame to SKB and deliver it to the network stack is shown
in patch 05/18 (e.g. cpumaps).

A multi-buffer bit (mb) has been introduced in the flags field of xdp_{buff,frame}
structure to notify the bpf/network layer if this is a xdp multi-buffer frame
(mb = 1) or not (mb = 0).
The mb bit will be set by a xdp multi-buffer capable driver only for
non-linear frames maintaining the capability to receive linear frames
without any extra cost since the skb_shared_info structure at the end
of the first buffer will be initialized only if mb is set.
Moreover the flags field in xdp_{buff,frame} will be reused even for
xdp rx csum offloading in future series.

Typical use cases for this series are:
- Jumbo-frames
- Packet header split (please see Google’s use-case @ NetDevConf 0x14, [0])
- TSO/GRO

The two following ebpf helpers (and related selftests) has been introduced:
- bpf_xdp_adjust_data:
  Move xdp_md->data and xdp_md->data_end pointers in subsequent fragments
  according to the offset provided by the ebpf program. This helper can be
  used to read/write values in frame payload.
- bpf_xdp_get_buff_len:
  Return the total frame size (linear + paged parts)

bpf_xdp_adjust_tail and bpf_xdp_copy helpers have been modified to take into
account xdp multi-buff frames.

More info about the main idea behind this approach can be found here [1][2].

Changes since v10:
- move xdp->data to the requested payload offset instead of to the beginning of
  the fragment in bpf_xdp_adjust_data()

Changes since v9:
- introduce bpf_xdp_adjust_data helper and related selftest
- add xdp_frags_size and xdp_frags_tsize fields in skb_shared_info
- introduce xdp_update_skb_shared_info utility routine in ordere to not reset
  frags array in skb_shared_info converting from a xdp_buff/xdp_frame to a skb 
- simplify bpf_xdp_copy routine

Changes since v8:
- add proper dma unmapping if XDP_TX fails on mvneta for a xdp multi-buff
- switch back to skb_shared_info implementation from previous xdp_shared_info
  one
- avoid using a bietfield in xdp_buff/xdp_frame since it introduces performance
  regressions. Tested now on 10G NIC (ixgbe) to verify there are no performance
  penalties for regular codebase
- add bpf_xdp_get_buff_len helper and remove frame_length field in xdp ctx
- add data_len field in skb_shared_info struct
- introduce XDP_FLAGS_FRAGS_PF_MEMALLOC flag

Changes since v7:
- rebase on top of bpf-next
- fix sparse warnings
- improve comments for frame_length in include/net/xdp.h

Changes since v6:
- the main difference respect to previous versions is the new approach proposed
  by Eelco to pass full length of the packet to eBPF layer in XDP context
- reintroduce multi-buff support to eBPF kself-tests
- reintroduce multi-buff support to bpf_xdp_adjust_tail helper
- introduce multi-buffer support to bpf_xdp_copy helper
- rebase on top of bpf-next

Changes since v5:
- rebase on top of bpf-next
- initialize mb bit in xdp_init_buff() and drop per-driver initialization
- drop xdp->mb initialization in xdp_convert_zc_to_xdp_frame()
- postpone introduction of frame_length field in XDP ctx to another series
- minor changes

Changes since v4:
- rebase ontop of bpf-next
- introduce xdp_shared_info to build xdp multi-buff instead of using the
  skb_shared_info struct
- introduce frame_length in xdp ctx
- drop previous bpf helpers
- fix bpf_xdp_adjust_tail for xdp multi-buff
- introduce xdp multi-buff self-tests for bpf_xdp_adjust_tail
- fix xdp_return_frame_bulk for xdp multi-buff

Changes since v3:
- rebase ontop of bpf-next
- add patch 10/13 to copy back paged data from a xdp multi-buff frame to
  userspace buffer for xdp multi-buff selftests

Changes since v2:
- add throughput measurements
- drop bpf_xdp_adjust_mb_header bpf helper
- introduce selftest for xdp multibuffer
- addressed comments on bpf_xdp_get_frags_count
- introduce xdp multi-buff support to cpumaps

Changes since v1:
- Fix use-after-free in xdp_return_{buff/frame}
- Introduce bpf helpers
- Introduce xdp_mb sample program
- access skb_shared_info->nr_frags only on the last fragment

Changes since RFC:
- squash multi-buffer bit initialization in a single patch
- add mvneta non-linear XDP buff support for tx side
