[PATCH bpf-next 0/6] BPF ring buffer

[Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com>]

Implement a new BPF ring buffer, as presented at BPF virtual conference ([0]).
It presents an alternative to perf buffer, following its semantics closely,
but allowing sharing same instance of ring buffer across multiple CPUs
efficiently.

Most patches have extensive commentary explaining various aspects, so I'll
keep cover letter short. Overall structure of the patch set:
- patch #1 adds BPF ring buffer implementation to kernel and necessary
  verifier support;
- patch #2 adds litmus tests validating all the memory orderings and locking
  is correct;
- patch #3 is an optional patch that generalizes verifier's reference tracking
  machinery to capture type of reference;
- patch #4 adds libbpf consumer implementation for BPF ringbuf;
- path #5 adds selftest, both for single BPF ring buf use case, as well as
  using it with array/hash of maps;
- patch #6 adds extensive benchmarks and provide some analysis in commit
  message, it build upon selftests/bpf's bench runner.
