Add xdp dynptrs, which are dynptrs whose underlying pointer points to a xdp_buff. The dynptr acts on xdp data. xdp dynptrs have two main benefits. One is that they allow operations on sizes that are not statically known at compile-time (eg variable-sized accesses). Another is that parsing the packet data through dynptrs (instead of through direct access of xdp->data and xdp->data_end) can be more ergonomic and less brittle (eg does not need manual if checking for being within bounds of data_end). For reads and writes on the dynptr, this includes reading/writing from/to and across fragments. Data slices through the bpf_dynptr_data API are not supported; instead bpf_dynptr_slice() and bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr() should be used. For examples of how xdp dynptrs can be used, please see the attached selftests.

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.
