Andrii Nakryiko 70ed506c3b bpf: Introduce pinnable bpf_link abstraction
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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
