This patch is to simplify the uapi bpf.h regarding to the tstamp type
and use a similar way as the kernel to describe the value stored
in __sk_buff->tstamp.
My earlier thought was to avoid describing the semantic and
clock base for the rcv timestamp until there is more clarity
on the use case, so the __sk_buff->delivery_time_type naming instead
of __sk_buff->tstamp_type.
With some thoughts, it can reuse the UNSPEC naming. This patch first
removes BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_NONE and also
rename BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_UNSPEC to BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC
and BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO to BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_DELIVERY_MONO.
The semantic of BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_DELIVERY_MONO is the same:
__sk_buff->tstamp has delivery time in mono clock base.
BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC means __sk_buff->tstamp has the (rcv)
tstamp at ingress and the delivery time at egress. At egress,
the clock base could be found from skb->sk->sk_clockid.
__sk_buff->tstamp == 0 naturally means NONE, so NONE is not needed.
With BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC for the rcv tstamp at ingress,
the __sk_buff->delivery_time_type is also renamed to __sk_buff->tstamp_type
which was also suggested in the earlier discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/b181acbe-caf8-502d-4b7b-7d96b9fc5d55@iogearbox.net/
The above will then make __sk_buff->tstamp and __sk_buff->tstamp_type
the same as its kernel skb->tstamp and skb->mono_delivery_time
counter part.
The internal kernel function bpf_skb_convert_dtime_type_read() is then
renamed to bpf_skb_convert_tstamp_type_read() and it can be simplified
with the BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_NONE gone. A BPF_ALU32_IMM(BPF_AND)
insn is also saved by using BPF_JMP32_IMM(BPF_JSET).
The bpf helper bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() is also renamed to
bpf_skb_set_tstamp(). The arg name is changed from dtime
to tstamp also. It only allows setting tstamp 0 for
BPF_SKB_TSTAMP_UNSPEC and it could be relaxed later
if there is use case to change mono delivery time to
non mono.
prog->delivery_time_access is also renamed to prog->tstamp_type_access.
