bpf: add script and prepare bpf.h for new helpers documentation
Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header. Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation (to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then man page documentation. Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>" option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted documentation is printed to standard output. Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be: $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \ --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers, whose signatures are not available directly in the header files (pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of the compilation process). v4: - Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(). - Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer. - Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script. v3: - Change license for man page. - Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text. - Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text. - Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead. - Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer. - Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer. - Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.

/* BPF helper function descriptions:
|

/* The description below is an attempt at providing documentation to eBPF
|
||||
* developers about the multiple available eBPF helper functions. It can be
|
||||
* parsed and used to produce a manual page. The workflow is the following,

* manual pages. Also note that the few trailing white spaces are
|
