Merge branch 'bpf_get_stack'

Yonghong Song says:

====================
Currently, stackmap and bpf_get_stackid helper are provided
for bpf program to get the stack trace. This approach has
a limitation though. If two stack traces have the same hash,
only one will get stored in the stackmap table regardless of
whether BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID is specified or not,
so some stack traces may be missing from user perspective.

This patch implements a new helper, bpf_get_stack, will
send stack traces directly to bpf program. The bpf program
is able to see all stack traces, and then can do in-kernel
processing or send stack traces to user space through
shared map or bpf_perf_event_output.

Patches #1 and #2 implemented the core kernel support.
Patch #3 removes two never-hit branches in verifier.
Patches #4 and #5 are two verifier improves to make
bpf programming easier. Patch #6 synced the new helper
to tools headers. Patch #7 moved perf_event polling code
and ksym lookup code from samples/bpf to
tools/testing/selftests/bpf. Patch #8 added a verifier
test in tools/bpf for new verifier change.
Patches #9 and #10 added tests for raw tracepoint prog
and tracepoint prog respectively.

Changelogs:
  v8 -> v9:
    . make function perf_event_mmap (in trace_helpers.c) extern
      to decouple perf_event_mmap and perf_event_poller.
    . add jit enabled handling for kernel stack verification
      in Patch #9. Since we did not have a good way to
      verify jit enabled kernel stack, just return true if
      the kernel stack is not empty.
    . In path #9, using raw_syscalls/sys_enter instead of
      sched/sched_switch, removed calling cmd
      "task 1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null" which is left
      with dangling process after the program exited.
  v7 -> v8:
    . rebase on top of latest bpf-next
    . simplify BPF_ARSH dst_reg->smin_val/smax_value tracking
    . rewrite the description of bpf_get_stack() in uapi bpf.h
      based on new format.
  v6 -> v7:
    . do perf callchain buffer allocation inside the
      verifier. so if the prog->has_callchain_buf is set,
      it is guaranteed that the buffer has been allocated.
    . change condition "trace_nr <= skip" to "trace_nr < skip"
      so that for zero size buffer, return 0 instead of -EFAULT
  v5 -> v6:
    . after refining return register smax_value and umax_value
      for helpers bpf_get_stack and bpf_probe_read_str,
      bounds and var_off of the return register are further refined.
    . added missing commit message for tools header sync commit.
    . removed one unnecessary empty line.
  v4 -> v5:
    . relied on dst_reg->var_off to refine umin_val/umax_val
      in verifier handling BPF_ARSH value range tracking,
      suggested by Edward.
  v3 -> v4:
    . fixed a bug when meta ptr is set to NULL in check_func_arg.
    . introduced tnum_arshift and added detailed comments for
      the underlying implementation
    . avoided using VLA in tools/bpf test_progs.
  v2 -> v3:
    . used meta to track helper memory size argument
    . implemented range checking for ARSH in verifier
    . moved perf event polling and ksym related functions
      from samples/bpf to tools/bpf
    . added test to compare build id's between bpf_get_stackid
      and bpf_get_stack
  v1 -> v2:
    . fixed compilation error when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not enabled
