[RFC PATCH 01/16] bpf: Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_CRIB

From: Juntong Deng
Date: Wed Jul 10 2024 - 14:42:40 EST


This patch adds a new BPF program type CRIB (Checkpoint/Restore In eBPF)
for checkpointing/restoring processes through eBPF.

CRIB BPF programs are not attached to any hooks, run through
BPF_PROG_RUN, and are called by userspace programs as eBPF APIs
for dumping/restoring process information.

CRIB BPF programs dump/restore process information through CRIB
kfunc APIs.
