Disabling unprivileged BPF would help prevent unprivileged users from
creating certain conditions required for potential speculative execution
side-channel attacks on unmitigated affected hardware.
A deep dive on such attacks and current mitigations is available here [0].
Sync with what many distros are currently applying already, and disable
unprivileged BPF by default. An admin can enable this at runtime, if
necessary, as described in 08389d8882 ("bpf: Add kconfig knob for
disabling unpriv bpf by default").

Currently sock_map still has Kconfig dependency on CONFIG_INET,
but there is no actual functional dependency on it after we
introduce ->psock_update_sk_prot().
We have to extend it to CONFIG_NET now as we are going to
support AF_UNIX.

Randy reported a randconfig build error recently on i386:
ld: arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.o: in function `do_jit':
bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x28c9): undefined reference to `__bpf_call_base'

[...]
The cause was that b24abcff91 ("bpf, kconfig: Add consolidated menu entry for
bpf with core options") moved BPF_JIT from net/Kconfig into kernel/bpf/Kconfig
and previously BPF_JIT was guarded by a 'if NET'. However, there is no actual
dependency on NET, it's just that menuconfig NET selects BPF. And the latter in
turn causes kernel/bpf/core.o to be built which contains above symbols. Randy's
randconfig didn't have NET set, and BPF wasn't either, but BPF_JIT otoh was.
Detangle this by making BPF_JIT depend on BPF instead. arm64 was the only arch
that pulled in its JIT in net/ via obj-$(CONFIG_NET), all others unconditionally
pull this dir in via obj-y. Do the same since CONFIG_NET guard there is really
useless as we compiled the JIT via obj-$(CONFIG_BPF_JIT) += bpf_jit_comp.o anyway.

Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default.
If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2.
This still allows a transition of 2 -> {0,1} through an admin. Similarly,
this also still keeps 1 -> {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently
disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot.
We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin
still has a chance to toggle between 0 <-> 2.
Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF
that we added a while ago.

Right now, all core BPF related options are scattered in different Kconfig
locations mainly due to historic reasons. Moving forward, lets add a proper
subsystem entry under ...
General setup --->
BPF subsystem --->
... in order to have all knobs in a single location and thus ease BPF related
configuration. Networking related bits such as sockmap are out of scope for
the general setup and therefore better suited to remain in net/Kconfig.
