selftests/bpf: Add flags and VLAN hint to xdp_hw_metadata

Add VLAN hint to the xdp_hw_metadata program.

Also, to make metadata layout more straightforward, add flags field
to pass information about validity of every separate hint separately.

Make VLAN c-tag and s-tag XDP hint testing more convenient
by not skipping VLAN-ed packets.

Allow both 802.1ad and 802.1Q headers.

selftests/bpf: Add options and frags to xdp_hw_metadata

This is a follow-up to the commit 9b2b86332a9b ("bpf: Allow to use kfunc
XDP hints and frags together").

The are some possible implementations problems that may arise when providing
metadata specifically for multi-buffer packets, therefore there must be a
possibility to test such option separately.

Add an option to use multi-buffer AF_XDP xdp_hw_metadata and mark used XDP
program as capable to use frags.

As for now, xdp_hw_metadata accepts no options, so add simple option
parsing logic and a help message.

For quick reference, also add an ingress packet generation command to the
help message. The command comes from [0].

Example of output for multi-buffer packet:

xsk_ring_cons__peek: 1
0xead018: rx_desc[15]->addr=10000000000f000 addr=f100 comp_addr=f000

0xead018: complete idx=25 addr=9000

Metadata is printed for the first packet only.

selftests/bpf: xdp_hw_metadata track more timestamps

To correlate the hardware RX timestamp with something, add tracking of
two software timestamps both clock source CLOCK_TAI (see description in
man clock_gettime(2)).

XDP metadata is extended with xdp_timestamp for capturing when XDP
received the packet. Populated with BPF helper bpf_ktime_get_tai_ns(). I
could not find a BPF helper for getting CLOCK_REALTIME, which would have
been preferred. In userspace when AF_XDP sees the packet another
software timestamp is recorded via clock_gettime() also clock source
CLOCK_TAI.

Example output shortly after loading igc driver:

poll: 1 (0) skip=1 fail=0 redir=2
xsk_ring_cons__peek: 1
0x12557a8: rx_desc[1]->addr=100000000009000 addr=9100 comp_addr=9000
rx_hash: 0x82A96531 with RSS type:0x1
rx_timestamp: 1681740540304898909 (sec:1681740540.3049)
XDP RX-time: 1681740577304958316 (sec:1681740577.3050) delta sec:37.0001 (37000059.407 usec)
AF_XDP time: 1681740577305051315 (sec:1681740577.3051) delta sec:0.0001 (92.999 usec)
0x12557a8: complete idx=9 addr=9000

The first observation is that the 37 sec difference between RX HW vs XDP
timestamps, which indicate hardware is likely clock source
CLOCK_REALTIME, because (as of this writing) CLOCK_TAI is initialised
with a 37 sec offset.

The 93 usec (microsec) difference between XDP vs AF_XDP userspace is the
userspace wakeup time. On this hardware it was caused by CPU idle sleep
states, which can be reduced by tuning /dev/cpu_dma_latency.

View current requested/allowed latency bound via:
hexdump --format '"%d\n"' /dev/cpu_dma_latency

More explanation of the output and how this can be used to identify
clock drift for the HW clock can be seen here[1]:

selftests/bpf: xdp_hw_metadata remove bpf_printk and add counters

The tool xdp_hw_metadata can be used by driver developers
implementing XDP-hints metadata kfuncs.

Remove all bpf_printk calls, as the tool already transfers all the
XDP-hints related information via metadata area to AF_XDP
userspace process.

Add counters for providing remaining information about failure and
skipped packet events.

selftests/bpf: xdp_hw_metadata clear metadata when -EOPNOTSUPP

The AF_XDP userspace part of xdp_hw_metadata see non-zero as a signal of
the availability of rx_timestamp and rx_hash in data_meta area. The
kernel-side BPF-prog code doesn't initialize these members when kernel
returns an error e.g. -EOPNOTSUPP. This memory area is not guaranteed to
be zeroed, and can contain garbage/previous values, which will be read
and interpreted by AF_XDP userspace side.

Tested this on different drivers. The experiences are that for most
packets they will have zeroed this data_meta area, but occasionally it
will contain garbage data.

Example of failure tested on ixgbe:

poll: 1 (0)
xsk_ring_cons__peek: 1
0x18ec788: rx_desc[0]->addr=100000000008000 addr=8100 comp_addr=8000
rx_hash: 3697961069
rx_timestamp: 9024981991734834796 (sec:9024981991.7348)
0x18ec788: complete idx=8 addr=8000

Converting to date:

date -d @9024981991
2255-12-28T20:26:31 CET

I choose a simple fix in this patch. When kfunc fails or isn't supported
assign zero to the corresponding struct meta value.

It's up to the individual BPF-programmer to do something smarter e.g.
that fits their use-case, like getting a software timestamp and marking
a flag that gives the type of timestamp.

selftests/bpf: Simple program to dump XDP RX metadata

To be used for verification of driver implementations. Note that
the skb path is gone from the series, but I'm still keeping the
implementation for any possible future work.

$ xdp_hw_metadata <ifname>

On the other machine:

$ echo -n xdp | nc -u -q1 <target> 9091 # for AF_XDP
$ echo -n skb | nc -u -q1 <target> 9092 # for skb

Sample output:

# xdp
