Add kernel module with user mode driver that populates bpffs with
BPF iterators.

$ mount bpffs /my/bpffs/ -t bpf
$ ls -la /my/bpffs/
total 4
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jul  2 00:09 ..
-rw-------  1 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 maps.debug
-rw-------  1 root root    0 Jul  2 00:27 progs.debug

The user mode driver will load BPF Type Formats, create BPF maps, populate BPF
maps, load two BPF programs, attach them to BPF iterators, and finally send two
bpf_link IDs back to the kernel.
The kernel will pin two bpf_links into newly mounted bpffs instance under
names "progs.debug" and "maps.debug". These two files become human readable.

$ cat /my/bpffs/progs.debug
   id name            attached
   11 dump_bpf_map    bpf_iter_bpf_map
   12 dump_bpf_prog   bpf_iter_bpf_prog
   27 test_pkt_access
   32 test_main       test_pkt_access test_pkt_access
   33 test_subprog1   test_pkt_access_subprog1 test_pkt_access
   34 test_subprog2   test_pkt_access_subprog2 test_pkt_access
   35 test_subprog3   test_pkt_access_subprog3 test_pkt_access
   36 new_get_skb_len get_skb_len test_pkt_access
   37 new_get_skb_ifindex get_skb_ifindex test_pkt_access
   38 new_get_constant get_constant test_pkt_access

The BPF program dump_bpf_prog() in iterators.bpf.c is printing this data about
all BPF programs currently loaded in the system. This information is unstable
and will change from kernel to kernel as ".debug" suffix conveys.

When I applied this set locally to run build & selftests I noticed that the above
kconfig will appear in the top-level menuconfig. This is how it looks in menuconfig:

I assume the original intention was to have it under 'general setup' on a similar level for
the JIT settings, or is this intentional to have it at this high level next to 'networking
support' and others?
I don't remember when last time I did menuconfig.
How do you propose to move it?
Any particular suggestion how kconfig suppose to look like?

Hm, my config has:

CONFIG_BPF_PRELOAD=y
CONFIG_BPF_PRELOAD_UMD=y

I'm getting the following 3 warnings and build error below:

Have you seen the target error before, what am I missing?
Looks like the path in this patch is wrong:

hmm. that's very odd.
Are you building in-src-tree ?
I'm building out-of-src-tree with KBUILD_OUTPUT.
And two pairs of dots would be correct.
make V=1 kernel/bpf/preload/
gcc  -m64 -lelf -lz  -o kernel/bpf/preload/bpf_preload_umd
kernel/bpf/preload/iterators/iterators.o

see three pairs above. the first pair comes from $(srctree) somehow.
  userccflags += -I $(srctree)/tools/include/ -I $(srctree)/tools/include/uapi -I $(LIBBPF) \

I saw this in the past when makefile was wrong. I suspect it's related
to the above issue.
Could you send me your build script / command line and make version?
