bpf: Make cgroup storages shared between programs on the same cgroup
This change comes in several parts:
One, the restriction that the CGROUP_STORAGE map can only be used
by one program is removed. This results in the removal of the field
'aux' in struct bpf_cgroup_storage_map, and removal of relevant
code associated with the field, and removal of now-noop functions
bpf_free_cgroup_storage and bpf_cgroup_storage_release.
Second, we permit a key of type u64 as the key to the map.
Providing such a key type indicates that the map should ignore
attach type when comparing map keys. However, for simplicity newly
linked storage will still have the attach type at link time in
its key struct. cgroup_storage_check_btf is adapted to accept
u64 as the type of the key.
Third, because the storages are now shared, the storages cannot
be unconditionally freed on program detach. There could be two
ways to solve this issue:
* A. Reference count the usage of the storages, and free when the
last program is detached.
* B. Free only when the storage is impossible to be referred to
again, i.e. when either the cgroup_bpf it is attached to, or
the map itself, is freed.
Option A has the side effect that, when the user detach and
reattach a program, whether the program gets a fresh storage
depends on whether there is another program attached using that
storage. This could trigger races if the user is multi-threaded,
and since nondeterminism in data races is evil, go with option B.
The both the map and the cgroup_bpf now tracks their associated
storages, and the storage unlink and free are removed from
cgroup_bpf_detach and added to cgroup_bpf_release and
cgroup_storage_map_free. The latter also new holds the cgroup_mutex
to prevent any races with the former.
Fourth, on attach, we reuse the old storage if the key already
exists in the map, via cgroup_storage_lookup. If the storage
does not exist yet, we create a new one, and publish it at the
last step in the attach process. This does not create a race
condition because for the whole attach the cgroup_mutex is held.
We keep track of an array of new storages that was allocated
and if the process fails only the new storages would get freed.
