Current UAPI of BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands of bpf() syscall forces users to specify pinning location as a string-based absolute or relative (to current working directory) path. This has various implications related to security (e.g., symlink-based attacks), forces BPF FS to be exposed in the file system, which can cause races with other applications. One of the feedbacks we got from folks working with containers heavily was that inability to use purely FD-based location specification was an unfortunate limitation and hindrance for BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands. This patch closes this oversight, adding path_fd field to BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET UAPI, following conventions established by *at() syscalls for dirfd + pathname combinations. This now allows interesting possibilities like working with detached BPF FS mount (e.g., to perform multiple pinnings without running a risk of someone interfering with them), and generally making pinning/getting more secure and not prone to any races and/or security attacks. This is demonstrated by a selftest added in subsequent patch that takes advantage of new mount APIs (fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount) to demonstrate creating detached BPF FS mount, pinning, and then getting BPF map out of it, all while never exposing this private instance of BPF FS to outside worlds.
