[PATCH bpf-next 3/4] bpf: Add bpf_cgroup_ancestor() kfunc

[David Vernet]

struct cgroup * objects have a variably sized struct cgroup *ancestors[]
field which stores pointers to their ancestor cgroups. If using a cgroup
as a kptr, it can be useful to access these ancestors, but doing so
requires variable offset accesses for PTR_TO_BTF_ID, which is currently
unsupported.

This is a very useful field to access for cgroup kptrs, as programs may
wish to walk their ancestor cgroups when determining e.g. their
proportional cpu.weight. So as to enable this functionality with cgroup
kptrs before var_off is supported for PTR_TO_BTF_ID, this patch adds a
bpf_cgroup_ancestor() kfunc which accesses the cgroup node on behalf of
the caller, and acquires a reference on it. Once var_off is supported
for PTR_TO_BTF_ID, and fields inside a struct can be marked as trusted
so they retain the PTR_TRUSTED modifier when walked, this can be
removed.
