Deprecate AF_XDP support in libbpf ([0]). This has been moved to
libxdp as it is a better fit for that library. The AF_XDP support only
uses the public libbpf functions and can therefore just use libbpf as
a library from libxdp. The libxdp APIs are exactly the same so it
should just be linking with libxdp instead of libbpf for the AF_XDP
functionality. If not, please submit a bug report. Linking with both
libraries is supported but make sure you link in the correct order so
that the new functions in libxdp are used instead of the deprecated
ones in libbpf.
Libxdp can be found at https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tools.

The only user of libbpf_util.h is xsk.h. Move the barriers to xsk.h,
and remove libbpf_util.h. The barriers are used as an implementation
detail, and should not be considered part of the stable API.

Now that the AF_XDP rings have load-acquire/store-release semantics,
move libbpf to that as well.
The library-internal libbpf_smp_{load_acquire,store_release} are only
valid for 32-bit words on ARM64.
Also, remove the barriers that are no longer in use.

Add support for separation of eBPF program load and xsk socket
creation.
This is needed for use-case when you want to privide as little
privileges as possible to the data plane application that will
handle xsk socket creation and incoming traffic.
With this patch the data entity container can be run with only
CAP_NET_RAW capability to fulfill its purpose of creating xsk
socket and handling packages. In case your umem is larger or
equal process limit for MEMLOCK you need either increase the
limit or CAP_IPC_LOCK capability.
To resolve privileges issue two APIs are introduced:
- xsk_setup_xdp_prog - loads the built in XDP program. It can
also return xsks_map_fd which is needed by unprivileged process
to update xsks_map with AF_XDP socket "fd"
- xsk_socket__update_xskmap - inserts an AF_XDP socket into an xskmap
for a particular xsk_socket

Replace size_t with __u32 in the xsk interfaces that contain this.
There is no reason to have size_t since the internal variable that
is manipulated is a __u32. The following APIs are affected:
__u32 xsk_ring_prod__reserve(struct xsk_ring_prod *prod, __u32 nb, __u32 *idx)
void xsk_ring_prod__submit(struct xsk_ring_prod *prod, __u32 nb)
__u32 xsk_ring_cons__peek(struct xsk_ring_cons *cons, __u32 nb, __u32 *idx)
void xsk_ring_cons__cancel(struct xsk_ring_cons *cons, __u32 nb)
void xsk_ring_cons__release(struct xsk_ring_cons *cons, __u32 nb)
The "nb" variable and the return values have been changed from size_t
to __u32.

Add a new function for returning descriptors the user received
after an xsk_ring_cons__peek call. After the application has
gotten a number of descriptors from a ring, it might not be able
to or want to process them all for various reasons. Therefore,
it would be useful to have an interface for returning or
cancelling a number of them so that they are returned to the ring.
This patch adds a new function called xsk_ring_cons__cancel that
performs this operation on nb descriptors counted from the end of
the batch of descriptors that was received through the peek call.

Add support for shared umems between hardware queues and devices to
the AF_XDP part of libbpf. This so that zero-copy can be achieved in
applications that want to send and receive packets between HW queues
on one device or between different devices/netdevs.
In order to create sockets that share a umem between hardware queues
and devices, a new function has been added called
xsk_socket__create_shared(). It takes the same arguments as
xsk_socket_create() plus references to a fill ring and a completion
ring. So for every socket that share a umem, you need to have one more
set of fill and completion rings. This in order to maintain the
single-producer single-consumer semantics of the rings.
You can create all the sockets via the new xsk_socket__create_shared()
call, or create the first one with xsk_socket__create() and the rest
with xsk_socket__create_shared(). Both methods work.

This patch adds a 'flags' field to the umem_config and umem_reg structs.
This will allow for more options to be added for configuring umems.
The first use for the flags field is to add a flag for unaligned chunks
mode. These flags can either be user-provided or filled with a default.
Since we change the size of the xsk_umem_config struct, we need to version
the ABI. This patch includes the ABI versioning for xsk_umem__create. The
Makefile was also updated to handle multiple function versions in
check-abi.

This commit adds support for the new need_wakeup flag in AF_XDP. The
xsk_socket__create function is updated to handle this and a new
function is introduced called xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(). This
function can be used by the application to check if Rx and/or Tx
processing needs to be explicitly woken up.

The typical XDP memory scheme is one packet per page. Change the AF_XDP
frame size in libbpf to 4096, which is the page size on x86, to allow
libbpf to be used with the drivers with the packet-per-page scheme.
Add a command line option -f to xdpsock to allow to specify a custom
frame size.

The full memory barrier in the XDP socket rings on the consumer side
between the load of the data and the store of the consumer ring is
there to protect the store from being executed before the load of the
data. If this was allowed to happen, the producer might overwrite the
data field with a new entry before the consumer got the chance to read
it.
On x86, stores are guaranteed not to be reordered with older loads, so
it does not need a full memory barrier here. A compile time barrier
would be enough. This patch introdcues a new primitive in
libbpf_util.h that implements a new barrier type (libbpf_smp_rwmb)
hindering stores to be reordered with older loads. It is then used in
the XDP socket ring access code in libbpf to improve performance.

The use of smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() creates a Linux header dependency
on barrier.h that is unnecessary in most parts. This patch implements
the two small defines that are needed from barrier.h. As a bonus, the
new implementations are faster than the default ones as they default
to sfence and lfence for x86, while we only need a compiler barrier in
our case. Just as it is when the same ring access code is compiled in
the kernel.

This patch removes the use of likely and unlikely in xsk.h since they
create a dependency on Linux headers as reported by several
users. There have also been reports that the use of these decreases
performance as the compiler puts the code on two different cache lines
instead of on a single one. All in all, I think we are better off
without them.

The ring buffer code of XDP sockets is missing a memory barrier on the
consumer side between the load of the data and the write that signals
that it is ok for the producer to put new data into the buffer. On
architectures that does not guarantee that stores are not reordered
with older loads, the producer might put data into the ring before the
consumer had the chance to read it. As IA does guarantee this
ordering, it would only need a compiler barrier here, but there are no
primitives in barrier.h for this specific case (hinder writes to be ordered
before older reads) so I had to add a smp_mb() here which will
translate into a run-time synch operation on IA.

This commit adds AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason for this is
to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by offering
higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP
uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by
offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP
functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make
applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it
possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP
user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the
code from the sample application into their application, which is not
desirable.
The interface is composed of two parts:
* Low-level access interface to the four rings and the packet
* High-level control plane interface for creating and setting
up umems and af_xdp sockets as well as a simple XDP program.
