This patch adds struct_ops support to the bpftool.
To recap a bit on the recent bpf_struct_ops feature on the kernel side:
It currently supports "struct tcp_congestion_ops" to be implemented
in bpf. At a high level, bpf_struct_ops is struct_ops map populated
with a number of bpf progs. bpf_struct_ops currently supports the
"struct tcp_congestion_ops". However, the bpf_struct_ops design is
generic enough that other kernel struct ops can be supported in
the future.
Although struct_ops is map+progs at a high lever, there are differences
in details. For example,
1) After registering a struct_ops, the struct_ops is held by the kernel
subsystem (e.g. tcp-cc). Thus, there is no need to pin a
struct_ops map or its progs in order to keep them around.
2) To iterate all struct_ops in a system, it iterates all maps
in type BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS is
the current usual filter. In the future, it may need to
filter by other struct_ops specific properties. e.g. filter by
tcp_congestion_ops or other kernel subsystem ops in the future.
3) struct_ops requires the running kernel having BTF info. That allows
more flexibility in handling other kernel structs. e.g. it can
always dump the latest bpf_map_info.
4) Also, "struct_ops" command is not intended to repeat all features
already provided by "map" or "prog". For example, if there really
is a need to pin the struct_ops map, the user can use the "map" cmd
to do that.
While the first attempt was to reuse parts from map/prog.c, it ended up
not a lot to share. The only obvious item is the map_parse_fds() but
that still requires modifications to accommodate struct_ops map specific
filtering (for the immediate and the future needs). Together with the
earlier mentioned differences, it is better to part away from map/prog.c.
The initial set of subcmds are, register, unregister, show, and dump.
For register, it registers all struct_ops maps that can be found in an
obj file. Option can be added in the future to specify a particular
struct_ops map. Also, the common bpf_tcp_cc is stateless (e.g.
bpf_cubic.c and bpf_dctcp.c). The "reuse map" feature is not
implemented in this patch and it can be considered later also.
For other subcmds, please see the man doc for details.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
