Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi 4d7d7f69f4 bpf: Adapt copy_map_value for multiple offset case
Since now there might be at most 10 offsets that need handling in
copy_map_value, the manual shuffling and special case is no longer going
to work. Hence, let's generalise the copy_map_value function by using
a sorted array of offsets to skip regions that must be avoided while
copying into and out of a map value.

When the map is created, we populate the offset array in struct map,
Then, copy_map_value uses this sorted offset array is used to memcpy
while skipping timer, spin lock, and kptr. The array is allocated as
in most cases none of these special fields would be present in map
value, hence we can save on space for the common case by not embedding
the entire object inside bpf_map struct.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
