When compiling bpftool the following warning is found: "declaration of
'struct bpf_pidns_info' will not be visible outside of this function."
This patch adds struct bpf_pidns_info to type_fwds array to fix this.

New bpf helper bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid,
This helper will return pid and tgid from current task
which namespace matches dev_t and inode number provided,
this will allows us to instrument a process inside a container.

bpf_helpers_doc.py script, used to generate bpf_helper_defs.h, unconditionally
emits one informational message to stderr. Remove it and preserve stderr to
contain only relevant errors. Also make sure script invocations command is
muted by default in libbpf's Makefile.

Don't generate a broken bpf_helper_defs.h header if the helper script needs
updating because it doesn't recognize a newly added type. Instead print an
error that explains why the build is failing, clean up the partially
generated header and stop.
v1->v2:
- Switched from temporary file to .DELETE_ON_ERROR.

The script broke on parsing function prototype for bpf_strtoul(). This
is because the last argument for the function is a pointer to an
"unsigned long". The current version of the script only accepts "const"
and "struct", but not "unsigned", at the beginning of argument types
made of several words.
One solution could be to add "unsigned" to the list, but the issue could
come up again in the future (what about "long int"?). It turns out we do
not need to have such restrictions on the words: so let's simply accept
any series of words instead.

Documentation for eBPF helpers can be parsed from bpf.h and eventually
turned into a man page. Commit 6f96674dbd8c ("bpf: relax constraints on
formatting for eBPF helper documentation") changed the script used to
parse it, in order to allow for different indent style and to ease the
work for writing documentation for future helpers.
The script currently considers that the first tab can be replaced by 6
to 8 spaces. But the documentation for bpf_fib_lookup() uses a mix of
tabs (for the "Description" part) and of spaces ("Return" part), and
only has 5 space long indent for the latter.
We probably do not want to change the values accepted by the script each
time a new helper gets a new indent style. However, it is worth noting
that with those 5 spaces, the "Description" and "Return" part *look*
aligned in the generated patch and in `git show`, so it is likely other
helper authors will use the same length. Therefore, allow for helper
documentation to use 5 spaces only for the first indent level.

The Python script used to parse and extract eBPF helpers documentation
from include/uapi/linux/bpf.h expects a very specific formatting for the
descriptions (single dot represents a space, '>' stands for a tab):
/*
...
*.int bpf_helper(list of arguments)
*.> Description
*.> > Start of description
*.> > Another line of description
*.> > And yet another line of description
*.> Return
*.> > 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure
...
*/
This is too strict, and painful for developers who wants to add
documentation for new helpers. Worse, it is extremely difficult to check
that the formatting is correct during reviews. Change the format
expected by the script and make it more flexible. The script now works
whether or not the initial space (right after the star) is present, and
accepts both tabs and white spaces (or a combination of both) for
indenting description sections and contents.
Concretely, something like the following would now be supported:
/*
...
*int bpf_helper(list of arguments)
*......Description
*.> > Start of description...
*> > Another line of description
*..............And yet another line of description
*> Return
*.> ........0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure
...
*/
While at it, remove unnecessary carets from each regex used with match()
in the script. They are redundant, as match() tries to match from the
beginning of the string by default.
v2: Remove unnecessary caret when a regex is used with match().

Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header.
Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation
(to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then
man page documentation.
Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to
process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to
turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man
to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>"
option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root
directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to
parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot
find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted
documentation is printed to standard output.
Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be:
$ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \
--filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst
$ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7
$ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7
Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers,
whose signatures are not available directly in the header files
(pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of
the compilation process).
v4:
- Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and
bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state().
- Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL
programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer.
- Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script.
v3:
- Change license for man page.
- Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text.
- Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text.
- Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead.
- Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer.
- Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer.
- Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.
