Daniel Borkmann 11c39b5e98 tc: add eBPF support to f_bpf
This work adds the tc frontend for kernel commit e2e9b6541dd4 ("cls_bpf:
add initial eBPF support for programmable classifiers").

A C-like classifier program (f.e. see e2e9b6541dd4) is being compiled via
LLVM's eBPF backend into an ELF file, that is then being passed to tc. tc
then loads, if any, eBPF maps and eBPF opcodes (with fixed-up eBPF map file
descriptors) out of its dedicated sections, and via bpf(2) into the kernel
and then the resulting fd via netlink down to cls_bpf. cls_bpf allows for
annotations, currently, I've used the file name for that, so that the user
can easily identify his filter when dumping configurations back.

Example usage:

  clang -O2 -emit-llvm -c cls.c -o - | llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o cls.o
  tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run object-file cls.o classid x:y

  tc filter show dev em1 [...]
  filter parent 1: protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 flowid x:y cls.o

I placed the parser bits derived from Alexei's kernel sample, into tc_bpf.c
as my next step is to also add the same support for BPF action, so we can
have a fully fledged eBPF classifier and action in tc.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
