John Fastabend 174a79ff95 bpf: sockmap with sk redirect support
Recently we added a new map type called dev map used to forward XDP
packets between ports (6093ec2dc3). This patches introduces a
similar notion for sockets.

A sockmap allows users to add participating sockets to a map. When
sockets are added to the map enough context is stored with the
map entry to use the entry with a new helper

  bpf_sk_redirect_map(map, key, flags)

This helper (analogous to bpf_redirect_map in XDP) is given the map
and an entry in the map. When called from a sockmap program, discussed
below, the skb will be sent on the socket using skb_send_sock().

With the above we need a bpf program to call the helper from that will
then implement the send logic. The initial site implemented in this
series is the recv_sock hook. For this to work we implemented a map
attach command to add attributes to a map. In sockmap we add two
programs a parse program and a verdict program. The parse program
uses strparser to build messages and pass them to the verdict program.
The parse programs use the normal strparser semantics. The verdict
program is of type SK_SKB.

The verdict program returns a verdict SK_DROP, or  SK_REDIRECT for
now. Additional actions may be added later. When SK_REDIRECT is
returned, expected when bpf program uses bpf_sk_redirect_map(), the
sockmap logic will consult per cpu variables set by the helper routine
and pull the sock entry out of the sock map. This pattern follows the
existing redirect logic in cls and xdp programs.

This gives the flow,

 recv_sock -> str_parser (parse_prog) -> verdict_prog -> skb_send_sock
                                                     \
                                                      -> kfree_skb

As an example use case a message based load balancer may use specific
logic in the verdict program to select the sock to send on.

Sample programs are provided in future patches that hopefully illustrate
the user interfaces. Also selftests are in follow-on patches.
