selftests/bpf: add ability to filter programs in veristat
Add -f (--filter) argument which accepts glob-based filters for narrowing down what BPF object files and programs within them should be processed by veristat. This filtering applies both to comparison and main (verification) mode. Filter can be of two forms: - file (object) filter: 'strobemeta*'; in this case all the programs within matching files are implicitly allowed (or denied, depending if it's positive or negative rule, see below); - file and prog filter: 'strobemeta*/*unroll*' will further filter programs within matching files to only allow those program names that match '*unroll*' glob. As mentioned, filters can be positive (allowlisting) and negative (denylisting). Negative filters should start with '!': '!strobemeta*' will deny any filename which basename starts with "strobemeta". Further, one extra special syntax is supported to allow more convenient use in practice. Instead of specifying rule on the command line, veristat allows to specify file that contains rules, both positive and negative, one line per one filter. This is achieved with -f @<filepath> use, where <filepath> points to a text file containing rules (negative and positive rules can be mixed). For convenience empty lines and lines starting with '#' are ignored. This feature is useful to have some pre-canned list of object files and program names that are tested repeatedly, allowing to check in a list of rules and quickly specify them on the command line. As a demonstration (and a short cut for nearest future), create a small list of "interesting" BPF object files from selftests/bpf and commit it as veristat.cfg. It currently includes 73 programs, most of which are the most complex and largest BPF programs in selftests, as judged by total verified instruction count and verifier states total. If there is overlap between positive or negative filters, negative filter takes precedence (denylisting is stronger than allowlisting). If no allow filter is specified, veristat implicitly assumes '*/*' rule. If no deny rule is specified, veristat (logically) assumes no negative filters. Also note that -f (just like -e and -s) can be specified multiple times and their effect is cumulative.
