bpf: handle pseudo BPF_CALL insn
in native eBPF programs userspace is using pseudo BPF_CALL instructions which encode one of 'enum bpf_func_id' inside insn->imm field. Verifier checks that program using correct function arguments to given func_id. If all checks passed, kernel needs to fixup BPF_CALL->imm fields by replacing func_id with in-kernel function pointer. eBPF interpreter just calls the function. In-kernel eBPF users continue to use generic BPF_CALL. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
