bpf: Add a generic bits iterator
Three new kfuncs, namely bpf_iter_bits_{new,next,destroy}, have been
added for the new bpf_iter_bits functionality. These kfuncs enable the
iteration of the bits from a given address and a given number of bits.
- bpf_iter_bits_new
Initialize a new bits iterator for a given memory area. Due to the
limitation of bpf memalloc, the max number of bits to be iterated
over is (4096 * 8).
- bpf_iter_bits_next
Get the next bit in a bpf_iter_bits
- bpf_iter_bits_destroy
Destroy a bpf_iter_bits
The bits iterator can be used in any context and on any address.
Changes:
- v7->v8:
Refine the interface to avoid dealing with endianness (Andrii)
- v6->v7:
Fix endianness error for non-long-aligned data (Andrii)
- v5->v6:
Add positive tests (Andrii)
- v4->v5:
Simplify test cases (Andrii)
- v3->v4:
- Fix endianness error on s390x (Andrii)
- zero-initialize kit->bits_copy and zero out nr_bits (Andrii)
- v2->v3:
Optimization for u64/u32 mask (Andrii)
- v1->v2:
Simplify the CPU number verification code to avoid the failure on s390x

============
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 reStructuredText 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.
