bpf: Generalize bpf_sk_storage
Refactor the functionality in bpf_sk_storage.c so that concept of storage linked to kernel objects can be extended to other objects like inode, task_struct etc. Each new local storage will still be a separate map and provide its own set of helpers. This allows for future object specific extensions and still share a lot of the underlying implementation. This includes the changes suggested by Martin in: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200725013047.4006241-1-kafai@fb.com/ adding new map operations to support bpf_local_storage maps: * storages for different kernel objects to optionally have different memory charging strategy (map_local_storage_charge, map_local_storage_uncharge) * Functionality to extract the storage pointer from a pointer to the owning object (map_owner_storage_ptr) Co-developed-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: KP Singh <kpsingh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200825182919.1118197-4-kpsingh@chromium.org
