Iterating over BPF links attached to network namespace in pre_exit hook is
not safe, even if there is just one. Once link gets auto-detached, that is
its back-pointer to net object is set to NULL, the link can be released and
freed without waiting on netns_bpf_mutex, effectively causing the list
element we are operating on to be freed.
This leads to use-after-free when trying to access the next element on the
list, as reported by KASAN. Bug can be triggered by destroying a network
namespace, while also releasing a link attached to this network namespace.

Remove the "fast-path" for releasing a link that got auto-detached by a
dying network namespace to fix it. This way as long as link is on the list
and netns_bpf mutex is held, we have a guarantee that link memory can be
accessed.
An alternative way to fix this issue would be to safely iterate over the
list of links and ensure there is no access to link object after detaching
it. But, at the moment, optimizing synchronization overhead on link release
without a workload in mind seems like an overkill.

Enforce that all of them are zero. This is fine for replace_bpf_fd
since its presence is indicated by BPF_F_REPLACE. It's more
problematic for target_fd, since zero is a valid fd. Should we
want to use the flag later on we'd have to add an exception for
fd 0. The alternative is to force a value like -1. This requires
more changes to tests. There is also precedent for using 0,

To support multi-prog link-based attachments for new netns attach types, we
need to keep track of more than one bpf_link per attach type. Hence,
convert net->bpf.links into a list, that currently can be either empty or
have just one item.
Instead of reusing bpf_prog_list from bpf-cgroup, we link together
bpf_netns_link's themselves. This makes list management simpler as we don't
have to allocate, initialize, and later release list elements. We can do
this because multi-prog attachment will be available only for bpf_link, and
we don't need to build a list of programs attached directly and indirectly
via links.

Prepare for having multi-prog attachments for new netns attach types by
storing programs to run in a bpf_prog_array, which is well suited for
iterating over programs and running them in sequence.
After this change bpf(PROG_QUERY) may block to allocate memory in
bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() for collected program IDs. This forces a
change in how we protect access to the attached program in the query
callback. Because bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() can sleep, we switch from
an RCU read lock to holding a mutex that serializes updaters.
Because we allow only one BPF flow_dissector program to be attached to
netns at all times, the bpf_prog_array pointed by net->bpf.run_array is
always either detached (null) or one element long.

SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.
Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp->sda' without disabling preemption and
then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will
ensure that the data is consistent.
The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a
statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this
point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized
spinlock_t.
This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without
causing any warnings.

This commit converts the reader_task structure's "start" field to int
in order to demote a full barrier to an smp_load_acquire() and also to
simplify the code a bit. While in the area, and to enlist the compiler's
help in ensuring that nothing was missed, the field's name was changed
to start_reader.
Also while in the area, change the main_func() store to use
smp_store_release() to further fortify against wait/wake races.

This commit moves a printk() out of the measurement interval, converts
a atomic_dec()/atomic_read() pair to atomic_dec_and_test(), and adds
a smp_mb__before_atomic() to avoid potential wake/wait hangs. These
changes have the added benefit of reducing the number of loops required
for amortizing loop overhead for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n RCU measurements from
1,000,000 to 10,000. This reduction in turn shortens the test, reducing
the probability of interference.

Because the reset_readers() and process_durations() functions are used
only within kernel/rcu/refperf.c, this commit makes them static.

Currently, the buffer used to accumulate the thread-summary output is
fixed size, which will cause problems if someone decides to run on a large
number of PCUs. This commit therefore dynamically allocates this buffer.

Currently, the buffer used to accumulate the experiment-summary output
is fixed size, which will cause problems if someone decides to run
one hundred experiments. This commit therefore dynamically allocates
this buffer.

The current code uses the number of threads both to limit the number
of threads and to specify the number of experiments, but also varies
the number of threads as the experiments progress. This commit takes
a different approach by adding an refperf.nruns module parameter that
specifies the number of experiments, and furthermore uses the same
number of threads for each experiment.

This commit converts nreaders to a module parameter, with the default
of -1 specifying the old behavior of using 75% of the readers.

The CONFIG_PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair's overhead,
even including loop overhead, is far less than one nanosecond.
Since logscale plots are not all that happy with zero values, provide
picoseconds as decimals.
