Currently, most access to sys_bpf() is limited to root. However, there are use cases that would benefit from non-privileged use of sys_bpf(), e.g. systemd. This set introduces a new model to control the access to sys_bpf(). A special device, /dev/bpf, is introduced to manage access to sys_bpf(). Users with access to open /dev/bpf will be able to access most of sys_bpf() features. The use can get access to sys_bpf() by opening /dev/bpf and use ioctl to get/put permission. The permission to access sys_bpf() is marked by bit TASK_BPF_FLAG_PERMITTED in task_struct. During fork(), child will not inherit this bit. libbpf APIs libbpf_[get|put]_bpf_permission() are added to help get and put the permission. bpftool is updated to use these APIs.
