Alexei Starovoitov 824bd0ce6c bpf: introduce BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH map
Introduce BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH map type which is used to do
accurate counters without need to use BPF_XADD instruction which turned
out to be too costly for high-performance network monitoring.
In the typical use case the 'key' is the flow tuple or other long
living object that sees a lot of events per second.

bpf_map_lookup_elem() returns per-cpu area.
Example:
struct {
  u32 packets;
  u32 bytes;
} * ptr = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&map, &key);
/* ptr points to this_cpu area of the value, so the following
 * increments will not collide with other cpus
 */
ptr->packets ++;
ptr->bytes += skb->len;

bpf_update_elem() atomically creates a new element where all per-cpu
values are zero initialized and this_cpu value is populated with
given 'value'.
Note that non-per-cpu hash map always allocates new element
and then deletes old after rcu grace period to maintain atomicity
of update. Per-cpu hash map updates element values in-place.
