bpf: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the
destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. This is not
the case here, however, in an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2],
lets replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used,
so a direct replacement is safe.

bpf: iterators: Split iterators.lskel.h into little- and big- endian versions

iterators.lskel.h is little-endian, therefore bpf iterator is currently
broken on big-endian systems. Introduce a big-endian version and add
instructions regarding its generation. Unfortunately bpftool's
cross-endianness capabilities are limited to BTF right now, so the
procedure requires access to a big-endian machine or a configured
emulator.

bpf: Fix issue with bpf preload module taking over stdout/stdin of kernel.

In cb80ddc67152 ("bpf: Convert bpf_preload.ko to use light skeleton.")
BPF preload was switched from user mode process to use in-kernel light
skeleton instead. However, in the kernel context, early in the boot
sequence, the first available FD can start from 0, instead of normally
3 for user mode process. So FDs 0 and 1 are then used for loaded BPF
programs and prevent init process from setting up stdin/stdout/stderr on
FD 0, 1, and 2 as expected.

Before the fix:

ls -lah /proc/1/fd/*

lrwx------1 root root 64 Feb 23 17:20 /proc/1/fd/0 -> /dev/null
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 23 17:20 /proc/1/fd/1 -> /dev/null
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 23 17:20 /proc/1/fd/2 -> /dev/console
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 23 17:20 /proc/1/fd/6 -> /dev/console
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 23 17:20 /proc/1/fd/7 -> /dev/console

After the fix:

ls -lah /proc/1/fd/*

lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 24 21:23 /proc/1/fd/0 -> /dev/console
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 24 21:23 /proc/1/fd/1 -> /dev/console
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 24 21:23 /proc/1/fd/2 -> /dev/console

Fix by closing prog FDs after initialization. struct bpf_prog's
themselves are kept alive through direct kernel references taken with
bpf_link_get_from_fd().

# cb80ddc6 09-Feb-2022 Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

bpf: Convert bpf_preload.ko to use light skeleton.

The main change is a move of the single line
#include "iterators.lskel.h"
from iterators/iterators.c to bpf_preload_kern.c.
Which means that generated light skeleton can be used from user space or
user mode driver like iterators.c or from the kernel module or the kernel itself.
The direct use of light skeleton from the kernel module simplifies the code,
since UMD is no longer necessary. The libbpf.a required user space and UMD. The
CO-RE in the kernel and generated "loader bpf program" used by the light
skeleton are capable to perform complex loading operations traditionally
provided by libbpf. In addition UMD approach was launching UMD process
every time bpffs has to be mounted. With light skeleton in the kernel
the bpf_preload kernel module loads bpf iterators once and pins them
multiple times into different bpffs mounts.

bpf: Add kernel module with user mode driver that populates bpffs.

Add kernel module with user mode driver that populates bpffs with
BPF iterators.

$ mount bpffs /my/bpffs/ -t bpf
$ ls -la /my/bpffs/
total 4
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 0 Jul 2 00:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jul 2 00:09 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 2 00:27 maps.debug
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 2 00:27 progs.debug

The user mode driver will load BPF Type Formats, create BPF maps, populate BPF
maps, load two BPF programs, attach them to BPF iterators, and finally send two
bpf_link IDs back to the kernel.
The kernel will pin two bpf_links into newly mounted bpffs instance under
names "progs.debug" and "maps.debug". These two files become human readable.

$ cat /my/bpffs/progs.debug
id name attached
11 dump_bpf_map bpf_iter_bpf_map
12 dump_bpf_prog bpf_iter_bpf_prog
27 test_pkt_access

36 new_get_skb_len get_skb_len test_pkt_access
37 new_get_skb_ifindex get_skb_ifindex test_pkt_access
38 new_get_constant get_constant test_pkt_access

The BPF program dump_bpf_prog() in iterators.bpf.c is printing this data about
all BPF programs currently loaded in the system. This information is unstable
and will change from kernel to kernel as ".debug" suffix conveys.
