This patch adds "-j" mode to test_progs, executing tests in multiple
process. "-j" mode is optional, and works with all existing test
selection mechanism, as well as "-v", "-l" etc.
In "-j" mode, main process use UDS/SEQPACKET to communicate to each forked
worker, commanding it to run tests and collect logs. After all tests are
finished, a summary is printed. main process use multiple competing
threads to dispatch work to worker, trying to keep them all busy.
The test status will be printed as soon as it is finished, if there are
error logs, it will be printed after the final summary line.
By specifying "--debug", additional debug information on server/worker
communication will be printed.
Example output:
> ./test_progs -n 15-20 -j

With "make install", bpftool installs its binary and its bash completion
file. Usually, this is what we want. But a few components in the kernel
repository (namely, BPF iterators and selftests) also install bpftool
locally before using it. In such a case, bash completion is not
necessary and is just a useless build artifact.
Let's add an "install-bin" target to bpftool, to offer a way to install
the binary only.

The script test_bpftool_build.sh attempts to build bpftool in the
various supported ways, to make sure nothing breaks.
One of those ways is to run "make tools/bpf" from the root of the kernel
repository. This command builds bpftool, along with the other tools
under tools/bpf, and runqslower in particular. After running the
command and upon a successful bpftool build, the script attempts to
cleanup the generated objects. However, after building with this target
and in the case of runqslower, the files are not cleaned up as expected.
This is because the "tools/bpf" target sets $(OUTPUT) to
.../tools/bpf/runqslower/ when building the tool, causing the object
files to be placed directly under the runqslower directory. But when
running "cd tools/bpf; make clean", the value for $(OUTPUT) is set to
".output" (relative to the runqslower directory) by runqslower's
Makefile, and this is where the Makefile looks for files to clean up.
We cannot easily fix in the root Makefile (where "tools/bpf" is defined)
or in tools/scripts/Makefile.include (setting $(OUTPUT)), where changing
the way the output variables are passed would likely have consequences
elsewhere. We could change runqslower's Makefile to build in the
repository instead of in a dedicated ".output/", but doing so just to
accommodate a test script doesn't sound great. Instead, let's just make
sure that we clean up runqslower properly by adding the correct command
to the script.
This will attempt to clean runqslower twice: the first try with command
"cd tools/bpf; make clean" will search for tools/bpf/runqslower/.output
and fail to clean it (but will still clean the other tools, in
particular bpftool), the second one (added in this commit) sets the
$(OUTPUT) variable like for building with the "tool/bpf" target and
should succeed.

API headers from libbpf should not be accessed directly from the
library's source directory. Instead, they should be exported with "make
install_headers". Let's make sure that runqslower installs the
headers properly when building.
We use a libbpf_hdrs target to mark the logical dependency on libbpf's
headers export for a number of object files, even though the headers
should have been exported at this time (since bpftool needs them, and is
required to generate the skeleton or the vmlinux.h).
When descending from a parent Makefile, the specific output directories
for building the library and exporting the headers are configurable with
BPFOBJ_OUTPUT and BPF_DESTDIR, respectively. This is in addition to
OUTPUT, on top of which those variables are constructed by default.
Also adjust the Makefile for the BPF selftests. We pass a number of
variables to the "make" invocation, because we want to point runqslower
to the (target) libbpf shared with other tools, instead of building its
own version. In addition, runqslower relies on (target) bpftool, and we
also want to pass the proper variables to its Makefile so that bpftool
itself reuses the same libbpf.

Bpftool relies on libbpf, therefore it relies on a number of headers
from the library and must be linked against the library. The Makefile
for bpftool exposes these objects by adding tools/lib as an include
directory ("-I$(srctree)/tools/lib"). This is a working solution, but
this is not the cleanest one. The risk is to involuntarily include
objects that are not intended to be exposed by the libbpf.
The headers needed to compile bpftool should in fact be "installed" from
libbpf, with its "install_headers" Makefile target. In addition, there
is one header which is internal to the library and not supposed to be
used by external applications, but that bpftool uses anyway.
Adjust the Makefile in order to install the header files properly before
compiling bpftool. Also copy the additional internal header file
(nlattr.h), but call it out explicitly. Build (and install headers) in a
subdirectory under bpftool/ instead of tools/lib/bpf/. When descending
from a parent Makefile, this is configurable by setting the OUTPUT,
LIBBPF_OUTPUT and LIBBPF_DESTDIR variables.
Also adjust the Makefile for BPF selftests, so as to reuse the (host)
libbpf compiled earlier and to avoid compiling a separate version of the
library just for bpftool.

Currently the recursion test is hooking __htab_map_lookup_elem
function, which is invoked both from bpf_prog and bpf syscall.
But in our kernel build, the __htab_map_lookup_elem gets inlined
within the htab_map_lookup_elem, so it's not trigered and the
test fails.
Fixing this by using htab_map_delete_elem, which is not inlined
for bpf_prog calls (like htab_map_lookup_elem is) and is used
directly as pointer for map_delete_elem, so it won't disappear
by inlining.

Instead of unconditionally performing push/pop on %rax/%rdx in case of

being either BPF r0 (%rax) or r3 (%rdx) since the result is written in

Also, we do not need to copy the source to %r11 unless the source is either
%rax, %rdx or an immediate.
For example, before the patch:
22: push %rax
23: push %rdx
24: mov %rsi,%r11
27: xor %edx,%edx
29: div %r11
2c: mov %rax,%r11

$eth3.200 is the generator port
$eth0 is the bridged DUT port that receives
$eth1 is the bridged DUT port that forwards and rewrites VID 200 to 300
on egress via VCAP ES0
$eth2 is the port that receives from the DUT port $eth1
Since the egress rewriting happens outside the bridging service, VID 300
does not need to be in the bridge VLAN table of $eth1.

Problem:
What does this do?
$ kunit.py run --json
Well, it runs all the tests and prints test results out as JSON.
And next is
$ kunit.py run my-test-suite --json
This runs just `my-test-suite` and prints results out as JSON.
But what about?
$ kunit.py run --json my-test-suite
This runs all the tests and stores the json results in a "my-test-suite"
file.
Why:
--json, and now --raw_output are actually string flags. They just have a
default value. --json in particular takes the name of an output file.
It was intended that you'd do
$ kunit.py run --json=my_output_file my-test-suite
if you ever wanted to specify the value.
Workaround:
It doesn't seem like there's a way to make
https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html only accept arg values
after a '='.
I believe that `--json` should "just work" regardless of where it is.
So this patch automatically rewrites a bare `--json` to `--json=stdout`.
That makes the examples above work the same way.
Add a regression test that can catch this for --raw_output.
