This patch adds the kernel-side changes for the implementation of a bpf bloom filter map. The bloom filter map supports peek (determining whether an element is present in the map) and push (adding an element to the map) operations.These operations are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing syscalls in the following way: BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push The bloom filter map does not have keys, only values. In light of this, the bloom filter map's API matches that of queue stack maps: user applications use BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM/BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM which correspond internally to bpf_map_peek_elem/bpf_map_push_elem, and bpf programs must use the bpf_map_peek_elem and bpf_map_push_elem APIs to query or add an element to the bloom filter map. When the bloom filter map is created, it must be created with a key_size of 0. For updates, the user will pass in the element to add to the map as the value, with a NULL key. For lookups, the user will pass in the element to query in the map as the value, with a NULL key. In the verifier layer, this requires us to modify the argument type of a bloom filter's BPF_FUNC_map_peek_elem call to ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE; as well, in the syscall layer, we need to copy over the user value so that in bpf_map_peek_elem, we know which specific value to query. A few things to please take note of: * If there are any concurrent lookups + updates, the user is responsible for synchronizing this to ensure no false negative lookups occur. * The number of hashes to use for the bloom filter is configurable from userspace. If no number is specified, the default used will be 5 hash functions. The benchmarks later in this patchset can help compare the performance of using different number of hashes on different entry sizes. In general, using more hashes decreases both the false positive rate and the speed of a lookup. * Deleting an element in the bloom filter map is not supported. * The bloom filter map may be used as an inner map. * The "max_entries" size that is specified at map creation time is used to approximate a reasonable bitmap size for the bloom filter, and is not otherwise strictly enforced. If the user wishes to insert more entries into the bloom filter than "max_entries", they may do so but they should be aware that this may lead to a higher false positive rate.

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.
