Add extended call instructions. Uses the term "program-local" for
call by offset. And there are instructions for calling helper functions
by "address" (the old way of using integer values), and for calling
helper functions by BTF ID (for kfuncs).

[Changes from V4:
- s/regs:16/regs:8 in figure.]
[Changes from V3:
- Back to src_reg and dst_reg, since they denote register numbers
as opposed to the values stored in these registers.]
[Changes from V2:
- Use src and dst consistently in the document.
- Use a more graphical depiction of the 128-bit instruction.
- Remove `Where:' fragment.
- Clarify that unused bits are reserved and shall be zeroed.]
[Changes from V1:
- Use rst literal blocks for figures.
- Avoid using | in the basic instruction/pseudo instruction figure.
- Rebased to today's bpf-next master branch.]
This patch modifies instruction-set.rst so it documents the encoding
of BPF instructions in terms of how the bytes are stored (be it in an
ELF file or as bytes in a memory buffer to be loaded into the kernel
or some other BPF consumer) as opposed to how the instruction looks
like once loaded.
This is hopefully easier to understand by implementors looking to
generate and/or consume bytes conforming BPF instructions.
The patch also clarifies that the unused bytes in a pseudo-instruction
shall be cleared with zeros.

Core
----
- Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
test from previous fixes.
- Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO.
This significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.
- Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.
- Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().
BPF
---
- Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.
- Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
programs.
- Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel
communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).
- Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
task/thread.
- Add ability to call selected destructive functions.
Expose crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump.
Use CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.
- Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
by integrating with the rstat framework.
- Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs.
Only structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported.
- Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping
sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets).
- Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
related programs.
- Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.
- Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.
- Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.
Protocols
---------
- WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link
Operation (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7).
- vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT.
- SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT.
- Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way.
Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK.
- IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces.
- TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state
and RST packets.
- TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
and cache pressure).
- MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.
- Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.
- Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.
- Open vSwitch:
- Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
- Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.
- TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.
- Remove DECnet support.
Driver API
----------
- Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port
in DSA switches, at runtime.
- Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.
- Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting
per traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.
- Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
and link-side speeds.
- Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.
- Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.
- Require that flash component name used during update matches one
of the components for which version is reported by info_get().
- Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much
as possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like
a good idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.
- Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.
