Three new kfuncs, namely bpf_iter_bits_{new,next,destroy}, have been
added for the new bpf_iter_bits functionality. These kfuncs enable the
iteration of the bits from a given address and a given number of bits.

- bpf_iter_bits_new
   Initialize a new bits iterator for a given memory area. Due to the
   limitation of bpf memalloc, the max number of bits to be iterated
   over is (4096 * 8).
- bpf_iter_bits_next
   Get the next bit in a bpf_iter_bits
- bpf_iter_bits_destroy
   Destroy a bpf_iter_bits

The bits iterator can be used in any context and on any address.

Changes:
- v5->v6:
   - Add positive tests (Andrii)
- v4->v5:
   - Simplify test cases (Andrii)
- v3->v4:
   - Fix endianness error on s390x (Andrii)
   - zero-initialize kit->bits_copy and zero out nr_bits (Andrii)
- v2->v3:
   - Optimization for u64/u32 mask (Andrii)
- v1->v2:
   - Simplify the CPU number verification code to avoid the failure on s390x
     (Eduard)

It appears that the test case failed on s390x when the data is
a u32 value because we need to set the higher 32 bits.
will analyze it.

Hey Yafang, did you get a chance to debug and fix the issue?

Hi Andrii,

Apologies for the delay; I recently returned from an extended holiday.

The issue stems from the limitations of bpf_probe_read_kernel() on
s390 architecture. The attachment provides a straightforward example
to illustrate this issue. The observed results are as follows:

     Error: #463/1 verifier_probe_read/probe read 4 bytes
     8897 run_subtest:PASS:obj_open_mem 0 nsec
     8898 run_subtest:PASS:unexpected_load_failure 0 nsec
     8899 do_prog_test_run:PASS:bpf_prog_test_run 0 nsec
     8900 run_subtest:FAIL:659 Unexpected retval: 2817064 != 512

     Error: #463/2 verifier_probe_read/probe read 8 bytes
     8903 run_subtest:PASS:obj_open_mem 0 nsec
     8904 run_subtest:PASS:unexpected_load_failure 0 nsec
     8905 do_prog_test_run:PASS:bpf_prog_test_run 0 nsec
     8906 run_subtest:FAIL:659 Unexpected retval: 0 != 512

More details can be found at:  https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/pull/6872

Should we consider this behavior of bpf_probe_read_kernel() as
expected, or is it something that requires fixing?

Maybe to guard the result with macros like __s390x__ to differentiate s390 vs. arm64/x86_64? There are some examples in prog_tests/* having such guards. probe_user.c:#if defined(__s390x__) test_bpf_syscall_macro.c:#if defined(__aarch64__) || defined(__s390__) xdp_adjust_tail.c:#if defined(__s390x__) xdp_do_redirect.c:#if defined(__s390x__)
